Do you allow your employees to access their emails? I do not think so! This poses a direct security threat to your organization, even if you dismiss it. Well, the same concept applies when we look at a messaging app. When selecting a messaging app, you must therefore encrypt all of your data on a server.
Think about how messy it would be if an employee did not know where to find the right person for help. Define various teams in your business messaging app, including Marketing, Finance, Support, Human Recourse, Client Relationship Management, and more. This makes it easy for employees to navigate the app and allow them to reach out to the right person at any time.
One of the most important components of a messaging app is the analysis. Analytics is like a brain that records all the details of the body. This facilitates decision-making, the choice of the right communication channel, the transparency of conversations and the selection of the right content. Choose an app that provides detailed insights and simple analysis.
A happy customer is like a holy grail in business today. Law! Choosing a business messaging app is not just about communicating and analyzing employees. However, it also includes customer relationship management. In depth, a messaging app must include a customer relationship portal that is limited to specific teams. This not only helps you to analyze communication patterns, but also gives you a clear overview of customer requirements.
Before you make a selection, make sure it has a robust support system. A secure communication channel backed up by a fully-featured support system is the perfect way to work with it.
I'm sure these points will help you choose your app wisely. However, you do not have to worry if you still have doubts or questions. Connect with us anytime, anywhere. Our experts are happy to help.

Q: jQuery best Practice: hide / doSomething / show sequence What is the best practice to carry out following workflow:
$("#myDiv").hide();
$.getJSON("url", function(data) { ... snorrr ... hours later ... });
$("#myDiv").slideDown();

This above mentioned sequence slides the div long befor hours have passed :-(
Thanks
Er

A: Just put the call in the callback.
$("#myDiv").hide();
$.getJSON("url", function(data) {
    ... snorrr ... hours later ...
    $("#myDiv").slideDown();
});

In addition you might want to show some indicator, so that the user knows that something is going on.

A: Put the slide down call at the end of the callback that handles the data.
This is the exact point of AJAX, Asynchronous so it doesn't wait and hang up all that time.

Once again the experts got it wrong. Fall color doom sayers were fueling the fire of arboreal panic earlier this year, looking into their silvicultural crystal balls and predicting a disappointing season for leaf viewing aficionados. The drought, the regional 'experts' said, would cause trees to shorten their color display and bring fall senescence much earlier than usual. Of course, that hasn't happened.


There are two different flavors of pretty much any cutting-edge online technology. On the one hand, it is most likely to cause a benign overhaul of peoples' lifestyles, routines and habits. On the other, it is doomed to become cybercriminals' target. Speaking of the Internet of Things, threat actors predictably go the well-trodden route of exploitation. Not only is IoT a buzzword, but it is also a nearly ubiquitous component of the present-day world with a significant economic footprint. The number of online-accessible smart devices is growing exponentially, with the global spending in the IoT security market alone estimated to reach $4 billion by 2022.
Zooming out, what does this have to do with the evolution of botnets? It turns out, the ties are closer than you might have imagined. Intelligent devices, including the ones people keep in their homes, are low-hanging fruit for malicious players – moreover, their constantly increasing quantity plays into villains' hands.
Smart vehicles, cameras, TVs, routers, fridges, DVRs, climate control systems, toasters, kettles, wearable gadgets and even drones are all connected to the Internet in one form or another. Some operate with excessive privileges and thus make a great springboard for expanding the attack surface. By hacking the firmware of these clever things, an adversary can inject perpetrating code, remotely control them and invoke arbitrary commands.
Old school botnets are typically composed of compromised computers or servers running malware behind admins' back. In this scenario, botnet operators establish a surreptitious channel to control the enslaved machines via peer-to-peer protocol or Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Some of the common vectors of harnessing bots include distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, spam campaigns and, more recently, stealth cryptocurrency mining (cryptojacking) activities.
In the case of an IoT botnet, the malicious logic is similar, except that the malware-infested devices constantly attempt to 'poison' other smart objects they can interact with on the network. This hallmark enables such a botnet to inflate autonomously at a rapid rate. Whereas large conventional botnets tend to include tens of thousands of compromised computers, their IoT based counterparts are a lot bigger and can encompass hundreds of thousands or even millions of intelligent devices. Regardless of the scaling, the tasks fulfilled by both types of these malicious networks usually match.
With the numerous shades of customer experience benefits in place, poor security of IoT devices is probably their biggest shortcoming. Most of them don't run common operating systems with tried-and-tested protection mechanisms built in. Some simply lack memory to host adequate anti-breach tools. One of the most disconcerting characteristics, though, is that firmware updates are often not supported at all, therefore vulnerabilities remain unpatched and make malware campaigns persistent and pretty much unstoppable.
IoT botnets: what's the attackers' train of thought?
There is some good reasoning behind botnet operators stepping into the niche of the Internet of Things. A bevy of smart devices are easy to exploit due to users' poor authentication hygiene as they keep the default credentials unaltered. To top it off, malicious code can easily modify these defaults once inside, making it very problematic for users to log in even if they identify the compromise. Furthermore, very few users perform regular maintenance of their connected things, so the likelihood of discovering a breach is negligible.
The main motivation for creating such botnets, though, is that IoT objects are always turned on and permanently online. This allows perpetrators to engage a maximum number of zombie nodes whenever they plan to launch a new large-scale attack. It's also noteworthy that the darknet marketplace for IoT botnets is crammed up with low-cost offers. Threat actors can rent a full-fledged DDoS-as-a-Service kit for up to $20 a month, an amount barely plausible with traditional botnets.
One of the earliest networks of enslaved smart devices that got the most media coverage was the Mirai botnet. This progenitor of IoT botnets gained notoriety in 2016 by propping a series of immensely powerful DDoS attacks against OVH and Dyn web services providers, knocking some of their infrastructure offline. Mirai consists of millions of compromised IoT devices, including CCTV cameras, DVRs and routers.
Another newsmaking botnet called Hajime is much more versatile than Mirai feature-wise, although it never reached the predecessor's heights in terms of the number of hacked devices. It boasts cross-platform support, task automation, the ability to download other code, and a dynamic password list.
Reaper, one more botnet of this sort, took the nefarious tactics up a notch by exploiting vulnerabilities in IoT devices' firmware rather than engaging in outright password cracking like Mirai does.
The Satori botnet is believed to be a Mirai spinoff, having surfaced in early December 2017 and hitting about 300,000 devices in less than a day. The latest botnet dubbed HNS (Hide and Seek) harnesses exploits to infect smart devices, goes with a boot persistence functionality and leverages a custom P2P protocol to interact with hacked nodes. Obviously, this segment of cybercrime is quickly gaining traction with malefactors and becoming more sophisticated.
Regardless of the type – traditional or IoT based – botnets pose numerous risks to end users and enterprises. They can do direct damage, as is the case with DDoS, or bolster other vectors of cybercrime, including cyber extortion through ransomware arriving with spam. Computer users can keep their machines on the safe side by using powerful, effective yet free antivirus software. In addition free IoT scanner will help you to protect your IoT network. The owners of smart devices should scrutinize a product's security characteristics before purchasing it. An IoT entity is only worth its salt as long as it features regular firmware updates to address new vulnerabilities. Furthermore, changing the default login credentials from the get-go is an imperative.

Chennai: IRDAI hikes car premium by 12 per cent
DECCAN CHRONICLE. | SANGEETHA G
Published Jun 6, 2019, 4:20 am IST
Updated Jun 6, 2019, 4:21 am IST
The long term policy premiums—three-year for private cars and five-year for two-wheelers ---have been retained without any change.
Similarly, the TP premium of two-wheelers of less than 75 cc has been raised by 12.8 per cent to Rs 482 from Rs 427. (Representational image)
Chennai: The insurance regulator has increased the motor third party premiums of private cars by around 12 per cent, less than what it had proposed in the draft. The new premiums will take effect from June 16.
Premium for private cars not exceeding 1,000 cc has been increased to Rs 2,072 from Rs 1,850 last year, a hike of 12 per cent. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Irdai) had earlier proposed a hike of 14.6 per cent to Rs 2,120.
For cars between 1,000 cc and 1,500 cc, the premium is up 12.5 per cent to Rs 3,221, lower than the proposed premium of Rs 3,300. The premium for cars exceeding 1,500 cc will remain at Rs 7,890 as proposed earlier.
Similarly, the TP premium of two-wheelers of less than 75 cc has been raised by 12.8 per cent to Rs 482 from Rs 427. For two-wheelers not exceeding 150 cc, premium will go up by 4.4 per cent to Rs 752 and those below 350 cc by 21 per cent to Rs 1,193. However, no rate hike has been proposed for superbikes or those exceeding 350 cc. The proposed rates of two-wheelers have been retain-ed by Irdai even after sta-keholders consultations.
The regulator has further introduced two new categories.

To access the MPSSE mode on Linux we need to install libftdi and the Adafruit Python GPIO library. Carefully follow the steps below to install these libraries.
Note that these steps are made for Ubuntu 12.04/14.04 and should work with any Debian-based distribution. If you're using a different distribution you might need to check its package manager for the appropriate commands to install the mentioned dependencies.
In a command terminal execute the following commands to install libftdi and its dependencies.
NOTE: This assumes you're installing on a Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian-based system and will use Python 2.7. If you're using a different version of Python or your distribution installs Python in a different location you might need to change the paths of the -DPYTHON_xxxx environment variables in the cmake command.
The commands above should complete without any errors. If you do see errors, make sure all the dependencies were installed with the apt-get install command.
You should see the Python library successfully install without any errors.
You should see no response from the Python interpretor after entering each line. If you do see an error that a module cannot be loaded, go back to the libftdi installation steps above and carefully check they completed successfully.
If there are no errors, congratulations you've successfully installed libftdi and the Adafruit Python GPIO library! Move on to the next section to learn how to access the MPSSE mode GPIO, SPI, I2C, etc.

How to Apply for a Twix Card
In 2004, the federal Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) was passed to ramp up the security for the U.S. maritime industry and commerce, including ports, other maritime facilities and U.S. vessels. One of the security measures the MTSA implemented is an identification credential required of anyone who needs full, unescorted access to MTSA-regulated areas. The way to get this ID card, known as the Transportation Worker Identification Credential, or TWIC, in Texas begins with completing an application online or in person at an authorized enrollment center.
Eligibility for TWIC Card Application
Jobs that may require TWIC cards include dock workers, truck drivers and contractors. Applicants who are eligible to apply are U.S. citizens, lawful permanent U.S. residents, naturalized U.S. citizens or nonimmigrant aliens, asylum seekers or refugees who have lawful status. Even if an applicant meets these requirements, she still may be ineligible for a TWIC card if she provides incomplete or false information on the application, if she has disqualifying criminal offenses or meets other disqualifying criteria.
Some permanent disqualifying criminal offenses include convictions, guilty or no-contest pleas or cases that resulted in a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity for felonies such as espionage, sedition, treason, federal terrorism and murder. Some of the interim disqualifying offenses, occurring within seven years of the application date, include fraud, bribery, smuggling, arson, immigration violations, robbery, rape and voluntary manslaughter. The Transportation and Safety Administration (TSA) may also disqualify TWIC applicants for other factors, such as denying persons who have been judged as lacking mental capacity or who have been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility.
Read More: What is a TWIC Card?
TWIC Card Application Process
Applicants can complete an online application, but they still have to schedule an in-person interview at a TWIC application center. As an option, applicants can complete the application in person at their interview. By visiting TSA.gov and entering Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) in the search box, applicants can follow the prompts to apply online.
Walk-in appointments are welcome, but TSA recommends scheduling an appointment for the interview because appointments take priority over walk-ins. To make an appointment, applicants can call 855-347-8371 between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. ET on weekdays. At the application center, applicants will be fingerprinted and photographed. Documentation is also required, such as a birth certificate, driver's license or current U.S. passport.
TWIC Card Locations
To find a local enrollment facility online, applicants can visit UniversalEnroll.dhs.gov and click the TWIC button or name. When the page loads, clicking the Find an Enrollment Center takes applicants to an online search form where they'll enter a ZIP code or airport code to search for their nearest enrollment center. This is the same page that applicants return to after they receive their cards in the mail in order to activate, replace or reset their card's PIN.
TWIC Card Fees
TWIC card applicants must pay a nonrefundable fee, which validates their card for five years. Payment methods accepted are credit card, money order, company check and certified/cashier's check. New applicants pay $125.25 unless they qualify for the reduced rate of $105.25. New applicants are eligible for this reduced rate if they present a valid driver's license, plus a hazardous materials endorsement or a Free and Secure Trade card.
Applicants who simply need a replacement TWIC card must pay a fee of $60. Whether a TWIC card is for a new applicant or it's a replacement card for a current card holder, applicants can elect to have the card mailed to them or to pick it up at the application center.

Swansea City have made a £3 offer for Barnsley full-back Andy Yiadom.
Paul Clement's side are looking to bolster their defence after a leaky campaign last season and according to The Sun, the Swans have now moved to the top of the list ahead of Premier League new-boys Huddersfield in the race for the 25-year-old's signature.
David Wagner's side have seen three bids, with the latest being a £2m offer rebuffed from the Yorkshire side with them waiting for a club to match their valuation of their man.
Further interest has been shown from Championship sides Reading and QPR, but with both Swansea and the Terriers now both showing an interest a move to the top-flight will surely be difficult to turn down.
The Tykes have been keen to keep Yiadom at Oakwell, but with his contract expiring next summer, they could sell him for a cut-price fee rather than losing him on a free transfer.
The full-back who can also play as a winger has made an impressive rise from non-league playing for Hayes and Yeading and Braintree before moving to Barnet where he made a major impact and won promotion to the Football League.
After joining Barnsley on a free transfer last summer, he impressed in his first season in the second-tier earning his first call-up to the Ghana squad in this year's Africa Cup of Nations, featuring twice for the Black Stars in Gabon.


The annual Festival of Trees is returning with a week-long holiday wonderland at the Charles Lynn Activity Center, located at 1001 Hamar Street.
This year the festival kicks off holiday pursuits at 8 a.m. on Saturday, December 1, with a Jingle Jog (5K walk or run or a 1 mile fun walk or run) through Port Royal's old village, beginning and ending at the Farmer's Market at Heritage Park on Ribaut Road by the Naval Hospital. In addition to race prizes, competitors will vie for best costume, best stroller décor and largest group.
The Jingle Jog is followed by the opening gala on Monday, December 3, and a week of gourmet, gifts and gorgeous trees. Closing ceremonies are on Saturday, December 8, featuring a live broadcast from the festival by the Coast radio station (94.5) and a day of family-friendly activities.
2012 Honorary medical co-chairs for the Festival of Trees are Dr. and Mrs. Eric Billig (Beaufort Memorial Hospital) and Dr. Marcus Newberry III (Lowcountry Medical Group) and fiancée Ms. Elizabeth Z. Harding. Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Dennis are serving as 2012 voluntary co-chairs.
The black-tie optional Opening Night Gala and silent auction officially opens the Festival on Monday evening from 6:30 until 9 pm December 3. Tickets are limited ($50 per person, $90 per couple and $60 at the door), so be sure to make your reservations early.
From Tuesday, December 4, to Saturday, December 8, Festival patrons may enjoy a leisurely lunch among the trees, shop at the Gift and Gourmet, buy a tree for their family or, new this year, buy a tree for a military family to say thanks for sacrifices made as a loved one serves our country. On Thursday evening, December 6th - take in the Christmas Concert at Beaufort High School - featuring the Blue Dots. Festival of Trees volunteers will provide concessions and all proceeds benefit Friends of Caroline Hospice.
General admission to the Festival is $5, military $3, group and youth $2 with group discounts available to schools and seniors.
Back by popular demand, a new tradition launched in 2011, Festival of Trees Holiday Butts can be pre-ordered for $30 and picked up on Sunday, December 2nd at the Festival. Go to the Festival of Trees link to place an order on-line or via phone.
"Festival of Trees is such a special way to share the spirit of giving with family, friends and children. I encourage everyone to drop in to enjoy the simple beauty of the trees," said Dr. Eric Billig, event volunteer co-chair. "Celebrate the season by helping to provide free hospice care and free child and adult bereavement counseling."
Sally Mitchell-Dennis, event co-chair, added, "This year Festival of Trees will celebrate its Jubilee year, 25 years of supporting the needs of friends, neighbors and community members with life-threatening illness. The Festival has raised over $955,000 for Friends of Caroline Hospice. Sally and I extend our appreciation to the tremendous number of past and present, volunteers, honorary chairs and the thousands of community members attending each year who made this possible."

Report: Porsche makes €21,799 per car
Viknesh Vijayenthiran January 22, 2007 Comment Now!
Update: Porsche is rejecting the claims made by Germany's B&D Forecast, pointing out that the computation used is misleading. Porsche cites that part of its profit came from special one-off events that have nothing to do with its core business of building cars. As already reported, a significant portion of Porsche's profits came from its investment in Volkswagen AG. The company states that it's dubious to include such special effects into the calculation of its profit made from sales.
Original article: A recent study has found that German sports carmaker Porsche earns significantly more in profit from each of its sales than any other car manufacturer in the world. The result was printed in German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, citing a study by B&D Forecast. On average, Porsche earned a massive €21,799 of profit before tax on every vehicle it sold last year.
For the last financial year, Porsche sold over 97,000 vehicles and charted a record gain of €2.1 billion in profits before tax. A significant portion of the company's profits came from increased return from its stake in Volkswagen Group but the Stuttgart carmaker still beats the competition by a significant margin. As far as profits are concerned, the world's carmakers will be trailing Porsche for some time to come.

We offer many different types of yoga out there, whether you want a more physically demanding class or an easy, relaxing, meditative class. Feel what fits you best.
It is an old system that includes the practice of asanas (yoga postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises), which help bring peace to the mind and body. When a class is marketed as Hatha, it generally means that you will get a gentle introduction to the most basic yoga postures. Hatha practices are designed to align and calm your body, mind, and spirit in preparation for meditation.
If you're new to yoga, it is a good idea to take a few classes in a slower style of yoga first, like Hatha yoga.
This class is a combination between strenght and relaxation. Yin Yoga is a slower practice where poses are passively held for longer, working on the deep, dense (Yin) connective tissues and joints in the body. Yang Yoga in contrast refers to a more active practice working on the (Yang) muscles and blood flow, building strength, and flexibility. Yang styles of yoga are those with rhythm and repetition like Vinyasa Flow or Hatha.
Restorative yoga focuses on winding down after a long day and relaxing your mind. At its core, this style focuses on body relaxation. You spend more time in fewer postures throughout the class. Many of the poses are modified to be easier and more relaxing. Many props are used to help you sink deeper into relaxation. Restorative yoga also helps to cleanse and free your mind.
WIth this class you can expect a little extra care. Essential oils will be used during the practice to get you in a even deeper relaxation.
Yoga Nidra means "Yogic sleep" but its actually a meditative journey or guided relaxation made with awareness.

Best New Movie Bets: August 1 | 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Earns Top Spot
Best New Bet: "Guardians of the Galaxy"
Chris Pratt finaly gets a chance to take on a leading film role in Marvel's latest superhero movie. The story follows Peter Quill (Pratt), a pilot, who steals an orb desired by the villainous Ronan (Lee Pace). To protect the orb and save the universe, he forges a turbulent alliance with a band of misfits and together they become known as the "Guardians of the Galaxy". Composed of Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) and Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) they set out to defend the galaxy.
This is by far the riskiest film Marvel has made thus far. This is a movie for the core Marvel faithful, as the characters are not well known to the general public. Worth noting is that didn't hurt the box office of "Iron Man" back in 2008. "Guardians", to its credit, doesn't appear to be taking itself too seriously; exuding the unabashed air of a full blown B-movie. Personally, the major drawback to expectations is the exaggerated cartoon/CGI nature of alien creatures, which can grow visually stagnant when done to the extent this appears to be.
"Guardians" does boast a solid cast, led by Chris Pratt, whose standout supporting roles have earned him the right to be front and center. Hopefully Zoe Saldana gets to do more than she has in the recent "Star Trek" movies. Director James Gunn has shown a knack for comedy, having helmed the superb dark comedy "Super" so expectations are high that he will capitalize on Pratt's wit and comedic timing. If anything, "Guardians" appears to be a good time.
Also Opening: The James Brown biopic "Get on Up" stars Chadwick Bossman as The Godfather of Soul and Oscar Nominee Viola Davis as his mother. The movie charts Brown's life from the time of his childhood to his rise to stardom. The movie also stars "One Life to Live" alum Tika Sumpter as Yvonne Fair.
Opening in limited release is "Calvary" a priest drama starring Brendon Gleeson and "War Story" starring Catherine Keener.

Tryon Budgets Up to $60 Million To Stage World Games at $125 Million Show Grounds–Part 1 of 3
4 years ago StraightArrow Comments Off on Tryon Budgets Up to $60 Million To Stage World Games at $125 Million Show Grounds–Part 1 of 3
Artist's rendition of hotel and spa as well as housing to be built at the Tryon International Equestrian Center that will house riders and grooms at the World Equestrian Games in 2018.
MILL SPRING, North Carolina, Nov. 7, 2016–As much as $60 million has been budgeted to stage the 2018 World Equestrian Games at Tryon International Equestrian Center on which about $125 million has been spent in the past two years creating perhaps the most ambitious, complete and efficient show grounds in the world.
Mark Bellissimo, who heads up the group that has personally financed construction of the facility, promised in an interview with dressage-news.com to seek to "re-define how these Games are presented" by engaging spectators in ways to inspire and develop horse sports
Few doubt he will succeed, after turning the first sod just two years ago on what he likened to "an Iowa cornfield" from the movie Field of Dreams but in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a scenic region in western North Carolina with little infrastructure and not much more of a future for many of the 1.4 million people living here.
The can-do approach to these Games–the second to be held in the Western Hemisphere since the combined championships of international equestrian sports was created in 1990–is typified by Mark Bellissimo's attitude to funding:
"This is all private capital. No one would ever invest in this kind of project so we needed people who were crazy enough to build something in an Iowa cornfield. So I picked up the phone and called our partners."
"I'm in," was the response.
The governments of North and South Carolina–TIEC is on the state line–jumped on board immediately and the U.S. Equestrian Federation that formally made the bid has backed the project unreservedly. William Moroney, the USEF chief executive, was at the news conference in Charlotte, North Carolina announcing the WEG.
But government involvement is relatively minor, mostly providing tourist promotion and making highway access to the show grounds easier
And, Mark laughed that he prefers the deadline of about 20 months to the five years typically provided past hosts of the WEG. As he has shown in Wellington, Florida he completely overhauled the Winter Equestrian Festival grounds in nine months and built the Global Dressage Festival facility from scratch in one year.

What has been built on the 1,600 acres/650Ha of TIEC at Tryon already and what is to come by the fall of 2018:
–1,200 permanent stables–sold out during some of the 39 weeks of international and national dressage, jumping and eventing competitions, and a promise to build more if needed;
–12 arenas with the same Olympic quality footing as the Wellington show grounds;
–Centerpiece and floodlit George Morris stadium with spectator seating up to 12,000 and VIP seating for up to 1,500. More seating will be available if demand warrants;
–A covered arena already constructed and to be enclosed that will have 5,000 seats for reining and vaulting at the WEG, and
–A major extension of the cross country course for eventing that will turn the course created for the American Eventing Championships from one that earned rave reviews into what will likely be one of the best in the world. As with the first course, the entire cross country will be designed by Mark Phillips on land that had been used originally as a golf course but retaining much of the spectacular natural environment with the rare if ever addition of footing in parts for the sake of the horses.

Work has already begun extending the eventing cross-country course through this area that was part of a psrtially developed golf course. The course will also be used for driving marathon. © 2016 Ken Braddick/dressage-news.com
Other aspects critical to the success of WEG at Tryon:
–Housing for at least another 1,000 people will be built on the show grounds to add to the accommodations for 200 that already exist. Mark founded a factory with state-of-the-art equipment from Sweden to produce pre-fabricated housing that will accommodate grooms and athletes during WEG and then sold afterward;
–Both Mark and Sharon Decker, the dynamic chief operating officer for Tryon, have been meeting with tourist development groups as well as hotel/motel operators in North and South Carolina seeking their commitment to hold prices at no more than 20 per cent above rates of the past two years. The effort was sparked by what were described around the world as "extortionate" rates demanded in Kentucky in 2010;
–Tickets will go on sale in January but pricing has not yet been decided. Kentucky introduced the widely unpopular system of breaking daily sessions into separate parts–morning and afternoon dressage Grand Prix , for example–with separate tickets required. Normandy adopted the same system four years later that produced ugly scenes of elderly and infirm spectators being forced by French security guards to vacate seats after the morning session to make their way down steeply inclined soccer stadium stairs then to make their way back to the same seats for the afternoon session;
–Feeding thousands of spectators, riders, officials, volunteers and media. Nine restaurants are already within the Tryon show grounds, but not enough to handle thousands of participants and spectators expected to attend the World Games in 2018. Aachen, that hosts dressage, jumping, eventing, driving and vaulting at its CHIO each year as well as the 2006 WEG and the 2015 European Championships, has been the most successful. It is another part of its well oiled machine that produces what is regarded as the best horse show in the world. Lexington was great for high paying VIPs, mediocre for spectators and others while at Normandy pretty much everybody in the main stadium outside of VIPs had to hunt for food outside as there wasn't any on the grounds.
A 13-acre field for jumper and hunter derbies that is undoubtedly the most advanced technologically in the world with specially developed durable grass is also in use but likely won't have a use for WEG.

The thinking behind the creation of Tryon, Mark Bellissimo explained, was with the World Games in mind–but for 2026 not 2018.
"I believe we're going to run one of the most interesting World Games," he said, "I think our facility was built to support it. The footprint we have here lends itself to that. The best run WEG was Aachen. Everyone else was focused on assembling a venue, putting together a one-trick pony.
"Tryon is a venue built for commercial integration with the sport.
"We're spending a lot of money building the gold standard."

Clay: stuff that binds; in a plant it manifests itself as a germ; in soil as clay. Both are the product of water turning dust into a liquid form, and can simultaneously be viewed as water energy or soil energy. The romans understood this power as glue, a sense retained today in gluten, the clay that binds bread together.

Building your family's future, today.
Duke Fertility Center is pleased to offer an in-house acupuncture program for patients considering or undergoing fertility treatment. Acupuncture may help address problems that can affect fertility.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that has been used to treat fertility issues for over 3000 years. Its basic principles rely on restoring physical and emotional balance.
Tiny needles approximately the width of a cat's whisker are inserted painlessly into the body at specific anatomical locations. The sensations patients describe range from nothing at all to a dull ache to slight tingling in the area. After about 30 minutes of deep relaxation, during which many people doze off, the needles are removed. All needles are individually packaged, sterile, and disposed of after a single use.
Who Is a Candidate for Acupuncture?
Any patient — male or female — who is considering, preparing for, or undergoing fertility treatment can engage in acupuncture. At the Duke Fertility Center we offer on-site acupuncture services on the day of embryo transfer. This includes acupuncture treatment immediately before and again immediately after the embryo transfer procedure. All treatments on this day are conducted on-sit near the transfer procedure room and coordinated with the physicians in order to ensure proper timing.
How Do I Get More Information?
If you would like to schedule acupuncture for the day of embryo transfer, please contact us at dukefertilityacu@gmail.com to let us know as soon as you can. Include your contact information and date of birth. When your retrieval date has been scheduled, please send us another email so that we know to expect your transfer a few days after that. We require at least 48 hours notice prior to the transfer in order to accommodate you. Patients do no need to do anything special for the acupuncture treatment – just bring a water bottle and prepare to relax!
Will Acupuncture Increase My Chances of Getting Pregnant?
The amount of research on acupuncture and IVF outcomes has expanded greatly in the past decade, but research is still ongoing. While definitive answers on the relationships between acupuncture and enhanced fertility are being pursued, acupuncture has been linked reliable to reduced post-surgical pain, nausea and vomiting, as well as increased well-being and mood. We believe that acupuncture is likely to improve both how you feel and how you cope while going through fertility treatment.
Schedule an appointment for acupuncture!

Q: How can I move files from a local file server (SFTP) directly into Snowflake? I am looking to move files from a couple of file servers (accessed via SFTP) into Snowflake directly using the Python Snowflake connector.
I have considered using Data Factory (ADF) to pull the files into blob storage and then to create an Azure stage to move the data into Snowflake. However, I am curious to see if there is a way to do this without storing the data in blob storage? In other words, can I move the files directly into Snowflake without storing them elsewhere first? I don't see a way to do this in ADF without storing in Blob Storage and the Snowflake documentation indicates that stages can be created via Azure/AWS or from a local file system, but can this be done for a file server that needs accessed via SFTP? I've been working on this with the Python connector but it still seems like the data must be stored somewhere else first (either local hard drive or blob storage) before it can be staged into Snowflake.

A: Assuming you want to use Snowflake's bulk-load mechanisms (so COPY entire files, not INSERT single rows), the file always needs to end up in the blob storage at some moment.

*

*you can move the files from SFTP to blob storage yourself and then use a COPY in Snowflake

*you can download the files to local filesystem, and then use Snowflake's PUT command to copy the files to the staging location, and then use COPY again

There is no way to create a stage that would point to SFTP.
Some more info here.
Note: In theory you could fetch the data from SFTP e.g. in Python and then use INSERT to insert the rows through SQL. Then you do not use the stage, but it's more complex and certainly not worth the effort.

A: In the last couple of months, Azure Data Factory now has native integration with Snowflake via the Snowflake connector. So the current answer would be that there is a connector that you can use in the ADF portal.
ADF Now Supports Data Integration with Snowflake:

*

*https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-data-factory/adf-now-supports-data-integration-with-snowflake/ba-p/1447370
The Snowflake Connector is supported for a Copy Activity with source/sink matrix table, mapping data flow, and lookup activity:

If you're good enough to get paid for your photography, you're smart enough to protect it. You've probably even heard the advice (from us if not a dozen others) to always keep your data in at least three places. However, in the interests of brevity and short attention spans, the why and how of this guidance often gets jettisoned.
First, the obvious: You want to back up your data because if it should be lost in any way, you'll never make another cent from it. You can't repurpose what you no longer have. Even worse, what happens when your client comes asking for their original files and finds that you no longer have them?
Once you free up your computer system's drive, then you're back to having your data in one place: that external hard drive. And if that drive isn't backed up through RAID redundancy, synchronization to another external drive, or (preferably) both, then you are one accidental drop, power surge, or mechanical failure away from disaster.
How do you form an effective backup strategy? Above all else, it needs to be easy and automated. A significant number of G-TEAM ambassadors opt for software tools [RMP1] to assist with making data copying across storage devices simple and, well, largely brainless. By automating your backup processes, you're much less likely to be stung by forgetfulness or distraction. Let the software be your memory and data manager.
Next, you need to identify which storage solutions to have in your backup toolkit. In part, this will depend on which stage of the workflow we're discussing. Creative workflow typically falls into four buckets: 1) capture, 2) ingestion, 3) editing, and 4) export. There's also archiving, which some people lump into export and some classify as a fifth stage.
In order to separate system and scratch volumes for better organization and performance, most professionals keep their "live" work drives as external solutions, preferably on a high-speed connection. Thunderbolt connectivity is increasingly popular, although photographers will generally not need the same degree of high-speed throughout as video pros.
The "live" drive includes a backup of the earlier capture data as well as any subsequent versions that get saved during editing. Best practices for this solution should be some form of multi-drive RAID, often a four-drive or higher RAID 5, such as the G-SPEED Studio with Thunderbolt.
The details of export and archiving are extensive and may largely depend on how clients wish to receive and/or access your files. Increasingly, backup to cloud storage services is becoming a popular tertiary storage option. Restoring from the cloud can be slow, but it's still better than having all of your backups destroyed by a natural disaster. Yet another option might be to use something like the G-RAID with removable drives for convenient archiving and removal of drives so that they can be stored many miles away.
Professional photographers in the early stages of their careers are often inclined to have one storage solution serve repeated duty across several of these workflow stages. Yes, money is often tight, especially at the beginning, but investing in a solid backup strategy should be a top-level priority. It's about more than saving your files. It may just save your career.
To the extent possible, we should avoid mentioning third party software unless we have written permission or an agreement with them to do so.

Biography – CALDWELL, THOMAS WAKEM – Volume XVI (1931-1940) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
McLEAN, ALLAN – Volume XI (1881-1890)
d. 31 Jan. 1881 in New Westminster, B.C.
Source: Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons
CALDWELL, THOMAS WAKEM, lumberer, farmer, agricultural activist, politician, travelling salesman, and insurance agent; b. 2 May 1867 in Lower Greenfield, N.B., son of Andrew Cunningham Caldwell and Margaret Fulton Wakem; m. first 7 April 1892 Anna (Annie) Henrietta Frances Abeldt (1871–1928) in Menominee, Mich., and they had four sons and one daughter; m. secondly 4 Sept. 1929 Mallissa Mae Clements (1875–1954), widow of Harry Herbert Francisco and Henry Halladay, in Ottawa; they had no children; d. 16 March 1937 in Ottawa and was buried in Florenceville (Florenceville-Bristol), N.B.
Named for Thomas Wakem, his maternal grandfather, T. W. Caldwell came from generations of farmers on both sides of his family. Little is known about his early life, other than that as a young man he emigrated to the United States, where he remained for approximately 12 years. He settled in the lumber town of Menominee, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and while working there he met and married Anna (Annie) Abeldt, a German immigrant. By March 1895 he had returned with his wife and infant son to his native Carleton County, N.B., where he became a successful farmer in East Florenceville (Florenceville-Bristol).
Caldwell was a proponent of organizing farmers to take collective action that would promote their interests [see Edward Alexander Partridge]. To some extent this tendency towards involvement in public issues was bred in the bone, his father having represented his parish on the county's municipal council for 22 years. In May 1918 Caldwell was made president of the newly founded United Farmers of New Brunswick (UFNB); he would remain in the position until at least 1923. At first he did not favour direct political action by the farmers, whose movement in the Maritimes was strongest in his home province, but he gradually came to believe that its agenda could not be advanced otherwise. During World War I Caldwell (whose two eldest sons, Edward Andrew and Paul Wilmot, both enlisted for active service overseas) was probably a Unionist Liberal; in February 1919 the federal government of Sir Robert Laird Borden appointed him chair of the agricultural qualification committee of the Soldier Settlement Board in the province, as well as a member of its loan committee. He remained in that post until September, when federal politics beckoned.
Caldwell's opportunity to run for office came suddenly that August, when Frank Broadstreet Carvell*, the Unionist mp for Victoria and Carleton, resigned. Caldwell stood in the resulting by-election for the United Farmers, who had adopted an 11-point political platform the previous March. Borden was determined to retain the seat, which Carvell, a former Liberal and the province's representative in cabinet, had taken by acclamation in 1917. Indeed, the prime minister dispatched three cabinet ministers to the riding: Arthur Meighen* and Gideon Decker Robertson campaigned on behalf of Weldon Wilbur Melville, a returned veteran, while Pierre-Édouard Blondin* attended to organizing, especially among the large francophone population of Victoria County. It was all to no avail: on 27 Oct. 1919 Caldwell's margin of victory was 3,544 votes. Historian William Lewis Morton* takes the view that his triumph was due to the Liberals not having fielded a candidate, a step that the party took deliberately to avoid splitting the left-wing vote and risking the return of the Unionist candidate.
As a United Farmer mp, Caldwell was among the first to join the agrarian caucus that coalesced around Thomas Alexander Crerar*, a Unionist from Manitoba. He had resigned as minister of agriculture in June 1919 and crossed the floor of the House of Commons over the issue of high protective tariffs, which hurt farmers as much as Crerar believed free trade with the United States would help them. In 1920 Caldwell took part in founding the Progressive Party, of which Crerar became de facto leader, and he was among the 65 Progressive mps returned in the general election of 6 Dec. 1921. Caldwell was the only Progressive candidate east of Ontario to be elected, aided by the decided advantage of being a popular incumbent whose first allegiance was seen to be to the farmers' movement. In November 1922 he chaired the Progressives' conference in Winnipeg, at which Crerar, frustrated by the unwillingness of his mps to accept the need for party discipline in the house, resigned as parliamentary leader. Caldwell was named to a committee meant to serve as the party's national executive body, but most members preferred the principle of autonomy for the local constituencies.
By the mid 1920s the UFNB was in terminal decline and the Progressives were in disarray. In the federal election of 29 Oct. 1925 the party lost well over half the seats won four years earlier, and Caldwell himself was among the casualties. Standing as an Independent Liberal Progressive, the only incumbent to do so, he had the misfortune of being opposed by James Kidd Flemming*, the former Conservative premier of New Brunswick. In spite of his past – he had resigned from office in disgrace in 1914 – Flemming was a local hero, and he won the seat by 1,901 votes. Unlike Crerar and his successor as the party's parliamentary leader, Robert Forke, Caldwell did not return to the Liberal Party, which absorbed many Progressives, nor did he stand for office again. He had lost his stomach for politics.
Caldwell went back to Carleton County and to the farmers' movement, serving as a director and member of the executive committee of the Farmer's Co-operative Company of New Brunswick. Annie died in 1928 and shortly afterwards Caldwell moved to Ottawa, where he remarried and worked as a commercial traveller and insurance agent. After failing health obliged him to retire, he helped his new wife, Mallissa Mae Halladay, keep her boarding house on Metcalfe Street. In 1932 Caldwell was part of a delegation that travelled to England to protest a British embargo on Canadian potatoes. When he died suddenly of heart failure on 16 March 1937, old political friends and allies such as Agnes Campbell Macphail* and Joseph-Enoil Michaud* paid their respects.
A somewhat reluctant politician, T. W. Caldwell viewed partisan politics as a necessary evil. He was a pragmatic idealist who believed that the Progressives would be more effective as a national political party than as a regionally based agrarian protest movement. For him the party was, or should have been, the voice of all farmers whose interests were not being adequately addressed by either of the old mainstream parties. Though a limited success as a politician, Caldwell was undoubtedly a major figure in both the United Farmers and the Progressive Party. The UFNB executive was seen as too left-wing by many New Brunswick farmers, however, and Caldwell was squeezed out of politics when his supporters hearkened en masse to a discredited voice from the past.

Iconic Comedy Duo Cheech & Chong to Perform at The Pearl Concert Theater May 23
The infamous comedy duo Cheech & Chong will bring laughter to The Pearl Concert Theater on Saturday, May 23, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. These two classic comedians return to The Pearl as part of their Light Up America.
Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong first hit the LA comedy scene in the early '70s and immediately won over audiences with their wacky routines which captured the free spirited attitude of the times. Some of their most well-known routines were "Earache My Eye," "Basketball Jones" and "Sister Mary Elephant." The duo released nine albums between 1972 and 1985, earning them four Grammy nominations and a huge cult following. Big Bambu, Cheech & Chong's sophomore release, became the top selling comedy album of all time in 1972 and held that record for several years. The pair's third album Los Cochinos earned them a Grammy award for Best Comedy Album in 1973.
The counterculture heroes decided to bring their comedy to the big screen in 1978 with their first of eight films, "Up in Smoke." The movie was an enormous success, grossing more than $100 million at the box office, making it the top grossing comedy of the year. The duo went on to co-write and star in seven subsequent films including "Cheech and Chong's Next Movie," "Nice Dreams" and "Still Smokin."
This event is presented by Andrew Hewitt and Live Nation. The Pearl Box Office is open from noon – 7 p.m. daily. Doors will open at 7:00 p.m. and show time is 8:00 p.m. The Pearl is home to Miller Lite Live, presented by Cricket Wireless and sponsored by Citi; for more information on upcoming concerts, please call 702-942-6888.

Q: How to access a range's label and set a default value for the label? I have a simple slider implemented in a JQuery calendar modal window. It is not driven by any JQuery function yet its label retains the previous value every time I open a new modal window. The slider is set to show 1 by default, which it does. However, the label "remembers" the last value and so displays.
<input id="txtHours" name="hours" type="range" min="0" max="7" step="0.5" oninput="this.nextElementSibling.value = this.value">
       <output></output>

How do I access the range's label and default it to 1? Thanks!


Many people do not actually understand what liberty means: they assume it's a synonym for freedom because the two words are often used together. Foreigners, socialists, also conflate "liberty" with "freedom" and most Western Nations are free, so they say they have liberty too, not understanding the distinction: The West has freedom, only America has liberty. However, more freedom certainly brings more liberty.
Here's how socialists interpret liberty: they make the "freedom" confusion, and say socialism creates more freedom for people. For example, Minimum Wage makes The Worker freer; not being held accountable makes people freer; having someone else be responsible for your well-being makes you freer, but that is NOT liberty. Liberty is you are responsible for your own decisions; the obligation is ON YOU. In their bid for control, socialists assign virtue to things that conflict with America's traditional mores & values: instead of aspiration, patriotism & liberty, they espouse freedom from responsibility, social justice & equality of outcome; linguistic deceits incompatible with liberty. The battle for liberty has become a battle for language.

UEFA Europa League - Rangers v Leverkusen facts - News
Rangers v Leverkusen facts
Rangers' marathon UEFA Europa League campaign stretches into a 17th fixture as they play host to German heavyweights Bayer Leverkusen.
Rangers' marathon UEFA Europa League campaign stretches into a 17th fixture as they play host to German heavyweights Bayer Leverkusen, both sides having impressively eliminated Portuguese opposition in the round of 32.
• After coming through four qualifying ties, Rangers negotiated their way through a highly competitive Group G in the autumn, finishing runners-up to Porto ahead of Young Boys and Feyenoord. They recovered from going two goals down to beat Braga 3-2 at Ibrox in the first leg of the round of 32 before clinching qualification with a 1-0 win in Portugal thanks to Ryan Kent's second-half breakaway strike.
• Leverkusen entered the UEFA Europa League in the knockout phase after crossing over from the UEFA Champions League, where they finished third in Group D behind Juventus and Atlético Madrid on six points. They were convincing conquerors of 2010/11 winners Porto in the round of 32, winning 2-1 at home and 3-1 away with Lucas Alario and Kai Havertz scoring in both legs.
• Uniquely among the eight round of 16 ties, Rangers and Leverkusen have been paired before in UEFA competition. They met in the 1998/99 UEFA Cup second round with the Scottish club prevailing 3-2 on aggregate (2-1 a, 1-1 h) thanks to a goal in each game from Finnish striker Jonatan Johansson.
• While that is Leverkusen's lone previous experience of Scottish opposition, Rangers have met German clubs on 45 occasions, including Bayern München in the final of the 1966/67 European Cup Winners' Cup final, which they lost 1-0 after extra time. The Gers have a strong home record against German opponents (W13 D6 L3), although they lost the most recent such fixture at Ibrox, 0-2 to Stuttgart in the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League group stage, to end a run of five successive victories.
• Rangers qualified for 2019/20 European competition as runners-up to Celtic in last season's Scottish Premiership. They also won four qualifying ties to reach the UEFA Europa League group stage for the first time, but just one win and six points prevented them from making further progress.
• Once again Rangers were obliged to come through four qualifiers to reach this season's group stage, going undefeated in knocking out St Joseph's, Progrès Niederkorn, Midtjylland and Legia Warszawa. In Group G they beat Feyenoord and Porto at home and drew with both sides away but lost to a late winner at Young Boys before securing their qualification at the Swiss side's expense with a 1-1 draw at Ibrox on Matchday 6. Subsequent home and away wins against Braga mean that, with Celtic going out to Copenhagen, they are Scotland's longest surviving European representatives for the first time in nine years.
• The Gers' only previous UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie, in that 2010/11 season, ended in elimination by PSV Eindhoven (0-0 a, 0-1 h), though they did reach successive UEFA Cup last-16 ties in 2006/07 and 2007/08, losing the first, to Osasuna (1-1 h, 0-1 a), and winning the second, against Werder Bremen (2-0 h, 0-1 a), en route to that season's final.
• Rangers are undefeated in 17 home European matches, winning 12 of them including seven out of eight this season. They have conceded just eight goals in those 17 matches, four of them this term, with Braga doubling that tally last time out and becoming the first visiting European team in 23 matches to score more than once at Ibrox – since that 2009/10 loss to Stuttgart.
• Fourth in last season's Bundesliga, Leverkusen thus entered the UEFA Champions League group stage for the 12th time. In their 2018/19 European campaign they were eliminated from the UEFA Europa League round of 32 by Krasnodar after topping a group featuring Ludogorets, FC Zürich and AEK Larnaca.
• The German club's bid to reach this season's UEFA Champions League round of 16 was scuppered by defeats in their opening three matches – 1-2 at home to Lokomotiv Moskva, 0-3 at Juventus and 0-1 at Atlético Madrid – and although they rallied to beat Lokomotiv away (2-0) and Atlético at home (2-1), a home defeat by Juve on Matchday 6 (0-2) left them in third place.
•.Victory over Porto last month put Leverkusen into the UEFA Europa League round of 16 for the third time, but they have never made it beyond this stage, going out in both previous ties to Villarreal, in 2010/11 (2-3 h, 1-2 a) and 2015/16 (0-2 a, 0-0 h). Like Rangers, they were UEFA Cup round of 16 participants in both 2006/07 and 2007/08, winning both ties – the first against Lens (1-2 a, 3-0 h), the second, on away goals, against Hamburg (1-0 h, 2-3 a) – before exiting in the quarter-finals.
• Despite those autumn defeats in Turin and Madrid, Leverkusen have lost only three of their last 12 European away fixtures (W5 D4). Their record on the road in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase is W3 D1 L3.
Links and trivia
• Glen Kamara (Rangers) and Lukas Hradecky (Leverkusen) are international team-mates for Finland.
• This is the only tie in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 between two clubs that have previously won a major UEFA competition, Rangers lifting the 1971/72 European Cup Winners' Cup and Leverkusen the 1987/88 UEFA Cup.
• While Rangers have won a record 54 Scottish league titles, Leverkusen have never been crowned champions of Germany.
• Alfredo Morelos, Rangers' Colombian striker, was the top scorer in this season's UEFA Europa League qualifying phase with eight goals, and the group stage with six. He has yet to score in the knockout phase.
• Rangers manager Steven Gerrard skippered Liverpool to back-to-back 3-1 wins against Leverkusen in the last 16 of the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League – en route to lifting the trophy in Istanbul. He had tasted defeat against the same opponents three years earlier as Leverkusen eliminated Liverpool in the quarter-finals (0-1 a, 4-2 h).
• Rangers are the only club to have reached this season's round of 16 after beginning their UEFA Europa League journey in the first qualifying round.
• Leverkusen are one of four UEFA Champions League group stage participants to have reached the UEFA Europa League round of 16, along with Internazionale, Olympiacos and Shakhtar Donetsk.
The coaches
• A Liverpool legend with 186 goals in 710 appearances for the Anfield club, most of them as captain, Gerrard launched his managerial career at Glasgow giants Rangers in May 2018. An England international for 14 years, accumulating 114 caps and 21 goals, the dynamic midfielder won the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League with Liverpool as well as both domestic cups. After an 18-month end-of-career spell with LA Galaxy he returned to coach Liverpool's youth team before the job at Ibrox lured him to Scotland, where he led the Gers to second place in the 2018/19 Premiership.
• A Dutch champion and three-time domestic cup winner with Feyenoord in the 1990s, Peter Bosz's eventful coaching career, which began in earnest at De Graafschap in 2002, peaked when he led Ajax to the final of the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League. The former Oranje midfielder spent just that one season in Amsterdam, subsequently replacing Thomas Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund, where his reign lasted only six months. After a year's absence he returned to the Bundesliga to coach Bayer Leverkusen in December 2018 and succeeded in qualifying the Werkself for the UEFA Champions League.

Do coverups get any more obvious?
IRS: Lerner's Hard Drive On Malaysia Flight 370 – Parody or true? Maybe this will motivate CNN to cover the IRS crimes.
It's long been acknowledged that Richard Nixon's undoing wasn't the Watergate break-in, but the coverup after the fact. Of course, rules of justice are different for members of the two main political parties, so it's "no harm, no foul" when DemonRats are involved in elaborate cover-ups and their accomplices in the media explicitly help with the covering up.
I'm sure I'm not alone in speculating how things would go if the tables were turned and a taxpayer used these excuses during an IRS audit. The case would quickly be referred to the IRS's Criminal Investigation Division, where the penalties are not just financial, but include prison time. Of course, since double standards prevail with our government overlords, nothing will happen to the growing number of IRS employees involved in this current cover-up.
White House: No emails between White House, Lerner – Nobody believes that to be the case. It looks more and more like the theory is true that BHO is trying to goad the GOP into impeaching him by doing crazier and wilder illegal things. I doubt if the GOP would even have the balls to impeach BHO if he decides to ignore the 22nd Amendment and run for a third term.

Ignore the sound and fury. Read my lines.
A desire to have a life, one combined.
A sophic man, seeing into my soul.
A woman afraid of losing control.
Foolish girl, frightened and pulling away.
Grasping to undo the damage each day.
Every night, a prayer whispered for you.
Lord, happiness and good health to be true.
Every night, a prayer whispered for me.
Saint Jude, a lost cause, do not let me be.
I have yet to reach the depths of my soul.
But whatever is there, is yours in full.
Men desire it, offering contentment.
But their prison only brings resentment.
You desire nothing, not a word you say.
Broken, I fill pages for you each day.
