The United States is implementing a new colonial strategy after its experience in Iraq and Libya, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shweigo said today.
"We are talking about the new colonial strategy that the United States has already tried in Iraq and Libya, which is to support any ideologies, even brutal ones, to weaken governments," Schweigo said in an interview with the Italian newspaper El Jornale.
The Russian defense minister said Moscow had repeatedly invited the Pentagon chief to discuss international or regional security, stressing that the United States was not yet ready for such a dialogue.
For Ukraine, Schweigau said it was impossible to create a direct confrontation between Ukraine and Russia. "I consider it impossible to create a direct confrontation between Ukraine and Russia," he said.

"First on the Moon: The Untold Story" spurred a lot of talk about Buzz Aldrin's UFO-friendly leanings:
"On Apollo 11 in route to the Moon, I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us. There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world - it was either the rocket we had separated from, or the 4 panels that moved away when we extracted the lander from the rocket and we were nose to nose with the two spacecraft. So in the close vicinity, moving away, were 4 panels. And i feel absolutely convinced that we were looking at the sun reflected off of one of these panels. Which one? I don't know. So technically, the definition could be "unidentified."
We well understood exactly what that was. And when we returned, we debriefed and explained exactly what we had observed. And I felt that this had been distributed to the outside world, the outside audience, and apparently it wasn't, and so many years later, I had the time in an interview to disclose these observations, on another country's television network. And the UFO people in the United States were very very angry with me, that i had not given them the information. It was not an alien. Extraordinary observations require extraordinary evidence. That's what Carl Sagan said.
There may be aliens in our Milky Way galaxy, and there are billions of other galaxies. The probability is almost CERTAIN that there is life somewhere in space. It was not that remarkable, that special, that unusual, that life here on earth evolved gradually, slowly, to where we are today. But the distances involved in where some evidence of life may be, they may be hundreds of light years away."

So Google has gone and done their S-1 filing with the SEC. This doesn't mean they will IPO but that they could. They may have been compelled to file due to SEC regulations that require companies to report financial results to the SEC once they have at least $10 million in assets and more than 500 shareholders of record.
18. This letter is our way of answering the questions we can't answer in the coming months due to the IPO quiet period.

Hello friends and happy Friday! Once again I must apologize as I have neglected this poor little blog and am late posting. My personal and business life have just been crazy this summer and I am having trouble juggling it all. This week I have 4 client shoots, a family birthday, back to school prep and a broken dishwasher, car repairs, etc. I'm sure many of you are dealing with similar craziness and back to school schedules as well. Life just seems to get busier and busier!
I only have one little iPhone pic to share this week, but I would love to see what you have been up to!
Thanks for visiting and linking up this week!
I can only imagine your schedule right now! Seems like you are juggling much. So many good blessings in the mix though! So happy for your business growth! Sometimes you can't do it all, and that's OK!
It happens. Wishing you a lovely holiday weekend!
I'm stopping by to say hello.
Your photos are just so strikingly lit!!
Glad your business is so busy!!
Hope you get a break over the holiday weekend.
Super huge hugs- wish I were there with you to help.


CALGARY — Cenovus Energy Inc said Monday it will accelerate development of its oil sands and conventional oil properties, targeting output of half a million barrels per day within 10 years.
Cenovus, Canada's No. 2 independent oil producer, said it plans to spend between C$3 billion (US$3.06 billion) and C$3.5 billion per year over the next decade to reach its goal.
Along with accelerated expansions of the Foster Creek and Christina Lake oil sands projects shared with ConocoPhillips, Cenovus will boost output at its conventional oil properties in Alberta and Saskatchewan to as much as 130,000 barrels per day by 2016 from 70,000 currently.
Cenovus's had previously targeted oil sands production of 300,000 bpd by 2019. Now it expects to produce 350,000 bpd from its northern Alberta properties by that point.
The company will boost the size of three planned expansions at its Foster Creek property to 35,000 bpd from 30,000 bpd. It said production from its Foster Creek site will eventually reach up to 290,000 bpd, up from a 235,000 bpd target. It is also raising the size of future expansions at Christina Lake.
The tar-like bitumen the company produces from its steam-driven oil sands project is to be upgraded at refineries in Wood River, Illinois, and Borger, Texas that Cenovus co-owns with ConocoPhillips. However, the joint-venture's output will exceed the processing capacity of the two refineries by 2014.
Cenovus said it will then have to seek other options for upgrading, possibly tweaking operations at the two refineries to boost capacity or finding partners in new markets.
"We'll also be looking at transportation arrangements," Ferguson said in an interview.
Ferguson also said a company with refining assets might be potential joint-venture partner. Cenovus is currently seeking another partner to speed development of its wholly owned properties and said companies from around the world have shown an interest in teaming up. It expects to select its new partner by year end.
The increase in oil output will also lower Cenovus' exposure to weak natural gas prices. It expects natural gas to provide only 5 percent of operating cash flow in 2021 from 20 percent in 2011.
Cenovus plans to hedge up to 75 percent of its natural gas output to protect its cash flow and capital program, but expects to cut the amount of oil it hedges in coming years.
Shares of the Calgary, Alberta-based company fell 75 Canadian cents to C$34.21 by midafternoon.

8bitdo's NES30 Pro controller is an almost perfect Nintendo Switch companion
rumorbus July 23, 2017 July 23, 2017 Uncategorized
The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is my go-to for lengthy bouts of Zelda or Splatoon. It's solid and comfortable, and among the best traditional controllers I've ever used. It's also $70, so I'm definitely not buying more than one. Same goes for the Joy-Con controllers, which will run you $80 for a pair. On a device like the Switch, where some of the best experiences are local multiplayer games like Mario Kart and Arms, I need another, cheaper solution for when people come over to play. For me, the answer looks a lot like an NES gamepad.
The NES30 Pro and FC30 Pro are aftermarket controllers from 8bitdo, a company that specializes in these kinds of retro-style pads. (The two are functionally identical, the only difference is how they look; one is modeled after the original NES controller, the other the Japan-only Famicom.) The controllers have a layout similar to the original Wii's Classic Controller, so they look a lot like an SNES gamepad with the addition of analog sticks and a few extra buttons. They're compatible with the Switch, as well as Windows, Mac, and Android. Support for the PS3, Wii U, and Raspberry Pi is also in the works.
It's a bit on the light side, but the NES30 Pro is very comfortable. It doesn't have the extended grips you might be used to with modern Xbox or PlayStation controllers, but it still feels good to hold even after lengthy play sessions. And, like all of 8bitdo's controllers, it has an excellent D-pad, something sorely lacking with the standard Joy-Con. If you play a lot of retro games on your Switch, or plan to with the eventual launch of Virtual Console, a quality D-pad is basically a necessity.
For the most part, 8bitdo's controller also has all of the necessary inputs to play modern games. I had no problems running through laps of Mario Kart 8 or lobbing punches in Arms. The two models also just look cool. I've always been partial the Famicom's metallic gold-and-maroon color scheme, and it's great to see it emulated here.
At $42, the NES30 Pro is much cheaper than what Nintendo offers, and it's also more flexible, since it's compatible with a number of other game platforms. Instead of just spending money to have an extra controller laying around in case you need a fourth for Mario Kart, it's actually something you can use in other situations, like playing Cave Story for the dozenth time on a MacBook.
The controllers can be a bit finicky when it comes to syncing them to the Switch. My first attempt took about 15 minutes, but once it was connected it worked fine, with no interruptions.
But by far the biggest issue with the NES30 and its Famicom-themed counterpart is the button layout. The face of the controller is fine, and the D-pad, analog sticks, and ABXY buttons are all where they should be. The sticks even click to double as an extra button, just like every other modern controller. The problem is with the shoulders: the NES30 Pro has two buttons on both shoulders, but whereas most controllers lay them out front-to-back — with one button in front and a bigger "trigger" button behind it — on the NES30 Pro they're side by side.
This design is problematic because the buttons are both very small and very close together. For games that require the use of both, you have to hold the controller in a cramped, uncomfortable position, lest you hit the wrong button by accident. Much of the time, this isn't even a problem. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, for instance, the R1 and R2 buttons perform the same function, so it doesn't matter which one you hit. Other games don't use them at all.
But for games that utilize both and necessitate quick reflexes, it doesn't work well. I discovered this while playing a few multiplayer matches in Splatoon 2, where I would regularly throw a paint grenade when I meant to shoot my gun. I eventually became accustomed to the control scheme, but it never felt comfortable or natural. (I'd like to use this opportunity to say sorry to my Splatoon teammates for all of the matches I singlehandedly lost.)
The NES30 Pro isn't perfect, and it's definitely not a replacement for the Switch Pro Controller. I wouldn't recommend it as a way to make your trek through Breath of the Wild's Hyrule any easier. But for certain situations it's a great and inexpensive fit. It works well for local multiplayer games, most importantly Mario Kart, and it's just about perfect for playing retro titles, whether you're playing on the Switch or PC.

The Ukrainian army is running out of men to continue the war due to a number of factors
By Julio Martinez, for FRN
Unlike the nations of the wars of the 20th century, Ukraine started from a base of potential recruits much lower than its nominal population suggested, due to the aging of the population and emigration, and because of the birth crisis of the 1990's . Added to this are the consequences of the war. These are just a few factors which tell us that the present Ukrainian military is not a military which can be militarily fielded with any eye on victory.
the loss of population in the Crimea and the free Donbass, which although small in size, was a highly populated region,
.the demographic collapse of Ukraine by mass emigration due both to poverty and to avoid the war,
the massive evasion of military service by the men who remain, whether by bribery or trickery,
the periodic need to replace troops due to the decision to muster out the soldiers after a year and a half in the ranks, to avoid riots,
the decision not recruit soldiers in the pro-Russian regions because of their dubious loyalty, which causes the weight of recruitment to fall disproportionately onto the provinces of Western Ukraine, and finally,
being the second leading cause after discharges, high losses in 2014-2015 and those accumulated in 2016-2017 years.
1. Recruitment and mobilization potential
A quick dimensional analysis: according to the approximate population statistics extracted from the CIA Factbook, and possibly only updated from previous years, since a census of the population has not been conducted since the war began, in theory Ukraine would have the following men of military age
15-24 years 2 million
25-55 years 9 and a half million
On that theoretical basis, as under age 20 and over age 50 do not count and you have to discount many for medical reasons, being children only and others, the total of fit men is 7 million,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_Ukraine
If we exclude the reservists, who were mobilized to create the National Guard in 2014, and we stay with young people between 20 and 27 years, there should be about 1 million useful men. You can not mobilize more without going to a war economy. Economic news already report a worker shortage in Ukraine.
But of that million, the evasion of military service by one cause or another reaches 70% . Therefore, the Kiev junta in the successive levvies called up during 2014-2015, six in total, had to increase the age of recruitment to 27 years and had to mobilize reservists . In some previous articles I've written, it was commented that in the fourth or fifth levy, the average age of the recruits was more than 30 years.
Out of that million potential recruits, a quarter of a million has already been mobilized in six levies, plus a seventh this spring 2018. The casualties are moderate since 2015, ten or fifteen thousand dead and injured per year in 2016-17, but the junta is forced to discharge the soldiers after a year and a half of service, and we have already gone through four years of war. And that taking into account that to forestall the drop in troop levels, under various pretenses soldiers were held in the ranks for a few more months during 2014-2015.
Therefore, of that one million recruits, the Kiev junta has already consumed around half a million, and the other half million has escaped from the call-up. The logical thing would be to keep the soldiers in the army "for the duration of the war" , but to avoid riots and protests they are forced to discharge the soldiers, although officially it is justified by making a virtue of necessity and saying that the veterans form a reserve of trained men to resort to in case of aggravation of hostilities. Which is absurd because the men who have already fulfilled their service and have managed to survive and return to civilian life are as a rule very reluctant to risk their lives again.
2. Losses in four years of war
In addition , casualties are important. These can be estimated at some 50,000 dead : of which 25,000 killed in the battles of 2014, 15,000 in 2015
Note: Debaltsevo lost 8,000 men alone, many more than estimated previously , see about this entry
https://guerraenucrania.wordpress.com/2018/04/17/la-sangrienta-guerra-de-posiciones/
and 5,000 deaths per year of war of positions (2016-2017).
To this is added at least twice as many injured, 100,000 injured of whom a proportion perhaps of a third are not recoverable, but we consider them included in the discharged, and about 25,000 deserters : of which 15,000 during 2014-2015, and another 5,000 per year since then (for 2017 at least that figure is known), which dimensionally seems correct and in line with historical experience, for half a million mobilized, the desertion rates would then be 5%.
Adding up the dead, disappeared and deserters: even if they are arrested, they are not recoverable for the front, because for understandable reasons the Ukrainian command already has enough problems with the discipline to introduce unreliable elements with their risk of contagion, and losses from other causes outside of combat, as suicides: a thousand, and accidents: perhaps a couple of thousands (the Ukrainian command officially recognizes ten thousand casualties for reasons beyond combat), the non-recoverable losses can be estimated at 80,000 .
3. Historical comparison
These are important losses, by way of historical comparison, in the Spanish Civil War in three years of war both sides mobilized a million men and suffered casualties (not counting foreigners) of 60,000 men, and at the end of the war they showed exhaustion symptons. Of course, to these non-recoverable losses, in addition to the wounded that were crippled or unfit for further service, we would have to add the prisoners, that war was more similar to the First World War, a succession of frontal battles of infantry and gradual conquest of the territory without rapid advances or encirclement maneuvers , with the exception of the North Front that counts as a large pocket, the liquidation of which cost the loss of 60,000 prisoners to the Republican side.
By comparison with this war in Donbass, although with smaller forces engaged, the fighting, due to the enormous firepower of modern weapons, was much more bloody, and the incompetence of the Ukrainian command, which drove its forces into pockets, so the battles of annihilation of the encircled troops were as bloody as similar episodes of World War II. Furthermore, these battles were atypical because the Ukrainian soldiers either resisted to the death, or the survivors were allowed to cross the border into Russia, or leave the encirclement after surrendering their weapons. That is, the Novorossians captured relatively few prisoners and even these were later exchanged, so the junta did not suffer appreciable losses in captured soldiers.
4. Importance of losses
The importance of these losses is not so much quantitative, but qualitative, especially those of 2014-2015, which destroyed the pre-war Ukrainian army and especially the cadres of officers and sergeants needed for mobilizing a larger army. Ukrainian command admitted as much back then.
https://guerraenucrania.wordpress.com/2014/11/15/ucrania-ha-agotado-sus-reservas/
5. Shortage of manpower: boys, seniors and veterans from 2014 wanted
As there are no young men available, the Ukrainians have resorted to the voluntary or forced recruitment of many reservists, in an entry last winter
https://guerraenucrania.wordpress.com/2017/12/16/noticias-de-la-guerra-diciembre-2017/
I commented that it was significant that the deaths after a fight of the National Guard unit attached to a regular brigade, three or four dozen, were a mixture of a few very young boys and many mature men over 35. An exact reflection of the demographic distribution by ages and also confirmation of the recruitment problem that the enemy tries to alleviate by the voluntary enlistment of older men with family responsibilities without work and young people from 18 to 20 years who are tempted to enlist for money before reaching the age of mobilization.
This enlistment of teenagers seems to be confirmed, both by Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian sources, about the state of the Ukrainian army, this article is relational, I quote and poll the translation of the most relevant fragment.
http://antimaydan.info/2018/02/ukrainskaya_armiya_ot_kiborgov_k_avataram.html
But the opinion of Diana Makarova, a volunteer who helps the Ukrainian troops in the Donbas, and who personally knows the situation at the front:
– There's not an army of volunteers in Ukraine.
All the professional units on the front lack personnel. On paper, the unit roosters are complete with volunteer soldiers, but in reality it is not like that. If now, when the rotation takes place, battalions composed of drafted and contract soldiers that had 280 people each are withdrawn, then battalions of 120 people come to replace them. And they must maintain the same extension of the front that a full battalion once held.
In some positions instead of sections of 30 people, there are four or five fighters. That is, they are located there as cannon fodder. To say that the front is full of holes is to say nothing.
Also, who volunteers voluntarily? There are motivated fighters for whom their life is the army. There are still many patriots who will fight to the end. But, unfortunately, not all contractors are so motivated. Many are ready, but, unfortunately not all contractors are so motivated. Many "zarobitchane" are ready – these are people who know they will not find work at home, so they enlist for the pay.
There were also many "avatars", who do not care where to drink, at home or in the front line.
[Note: In Russian, getting drunk is "turning blue", "avatar" is the nickname given to alcoholics, in reference to the blue-skinned aliens of James Cameron's film. ]
But the worst thing is that they have enlisted many drafted boys of 19-20 years. When they come to serve in the army, they are told they will receive huge sums of money. Then they sign the contract and sometimes they are sent to the front with little or no training. It is with these children that the front is held now. "
This is interesting because this news is from February of this year, the writer Zakhar Prilepin, who served in the Novorossian milita, confirmed this situation in an interview in April.The difference is that Diana Makarova apparently indicates that the regime has lowered the age of recruitment and now draws recruits 18-20 years old, who are then induced to enroll as volunteers.While Prilepin says that those guys have been tricked into voluntarily enlisting before they are old enough to be called up. I admit that the translation is not clear, and it is possible that Makarova exaggerates or gets confused with the well-known practice of coercing conscripts to re-engage as "volunteers." However, given the shortage of replacements, it would be the following logical step to lower the age of recruitment, without making official announcements. They are already going through the seventh partial mobilization without publicizing the fact.
http://antimaydan.info/2018/04/budet…te_chisla.html
Interview with Zakhar Prilepin, Russian writer, briefly militia officer and well informed.
Relevant fragments:
… increase the number of soldiers in the southeast of the country through trickery.
"They are constantly working in universities to recruit soldiers. With minor children from disadvantaged or poor families who can not afford their studies,
According to Prilepin, the result of this recruitment of students in the Ukrainian army was the appearance on the front line in the Donbass of a large number of inexperienced young people who do not understand who they are fighting for and why.
"We see more and more young people in the front line. And this makes us very sad because one thing is when adults are deliberately going to fight for an idea, and another is when ideologically unmotivated young people, deceived by people who "brainwash" them "in universities, promise a lot of money", said Zakhar Prilepin.
(Prilepin) is sure that Kiev understands that in terms of material, it can not surpass the armed forces of Novorossia, and therefore will strive to achieve a superiority of three or four times in the number of troops to "crush" the enemy.
"But, of course, there will be an inverse effect. Because this, first, you need to spend a lot of money … while in Ukraine the prices, tariffs and taxes will increase even more. And, secondly, the more children, husbands and fathers enter the army, the more nervous the situation will be within society. Approximately as it was in Russia, when the Chechen campaign was carried out. Society suffers a commotion when mass funerals arrive. But let the Ukrainian military say and do what they want. Basically we do not care, "said Zakhar Prilepin.
Finally, a few days ago the news appeared that the Ukrainian command seeks to recruit volunteers among veterans graduates of the 2014 campaign, the battalions of volunteers, the National Guard and other punitive paramilitary units. All this rabble had a military value so scarce that it was preferred to recruit en masse young people to rebuild the army, although for political reasons and lack of troops regular brigades were completed with paramilitary battalions, while they continue to maintain parallel armies of troops of the Ministry of the Interior and other armed bands. The fact that the junta plans to recruit again the survivors of this scum whose only function was to make occupation troops with brutal methods is another very telling symptom of the lack of troops and the little enthusiasm of the soldiers in rows .
6. Conclusions:
Ukraine maintains 200,000 men in arms (official data in 2017 said an authorized force of 280,000, but there are many indications that the amount is less), half in the front, and reports suggest that there are only 50,000 bayonets in the front-line at any given point. To continue the war effort, the regime would have to resort to mobilizing people who work with their negative effect on the economy, or to mobilize already discharged soldiers who will not be willing to re-enlist, not to mention the moral effect mass casualties would have on a demoralized and impoverished population.
It is not war that destroys the Ukrainian army, it is the impossibility of replenishing losses and maintaining their level of strength due to the general flight of the male population.
This war lasts for 4 years now, and unless internal collapse, hostilities resume for a decisive war, or foreign intervention, it may still last another couple of years, it remains to be seen that it ends first: money, men, or ammunition.
The IMF has already announced that there will be no more loans until after the elections and that a new Ukrainian government is formed. The shortage of ammunition begins to be pressing, and alreadyadmitted by by the Ukrainian command last winter that remaining stocks will last for two years at the rate of current consumption, much less if there are major battles. As for the recruitment, it is running dry. How many more losses can the Ukrainian army endure before becoming demoralized or entering the slippery slope of the defeat, even if it is due to attrition?
What is clear is that although on paper Ukraine still has a powerful force in war material, the general quality of the troops in terms of instruction and morale does not improve, even though there are some well-equipped units of fanatics and who have received acceptable training by NATO instructors.

1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
[After these things] The apostle John passses from the preceeding discourse of our Lord, which he delivered a little before the passover, John 6:4, to the Feast of Tabernacles, which happened six months after, and thus omits many things mentioned by the other evangelists, which our Lord said and did during that time. He had already gone over Galilee four or five times; and he continued there, because he found that the hatred of the Jewish political and religious leaders was such that they would kill him if they could meet with him in Judea; and his time to suffer was not yet come.
[For he would not walk in Jewry] He was no longer tolerated, and could not preach publicly in Judea except at the risk of his life.
Geographical note. At the time of Jesus Israel was divided into three regions. The southern region was Judea, where Jerusalem was located and political/religious power was concentrated. These rulers had much to lose if Messiah came and excluded them from his anticipated new kingdom.
The middle region was Samaria, populated largly by partially Jewish mixed blood people, despised by the full-blooded Jews.
The northern region was Galilee, on the western shores of the Sea of Galilee. The populace was regarded by the Judean Jews as simple and uneducated.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
[Feast of Tabernacles] This feast was celebrated on the fifteenth day of the month Tisri, answering to the last half of our September and the first half of October. The feast took it's name from the tents which were erected about the temple, in public places, in courts, on the flat roofs of their houses and in gardens; in which the Jews dwelt for eight days in commemoration of the forty years during which their fathers dwelt in the wilderness. It was one of three solemn feasts in which all males were required, by law, to appear at Jerusalem.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
[His brethren...said] Jesus was Mary's firstborn, while she was yet a virgin. Other brothers and sisters were born later. See Matthew 13:53-58.
[That thy disciples also may see] That is the disciples which he had made in his previous trips to Jerusalem.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
[Neither did his brethren believe in him] This was a mild challenge. You perform miracles and claim to be the Messiah here in Galilee, but let's see what happens when you make these claims in the "real world."
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
[My time is not yet come] A theme repeated in the Gospels. See John 2:4, verses 6, 8 and 30 of this chapter, John 8:20 and culminating in John 17:1.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
[The world cannot hate you] Because you are in agreement with it. You expect a political Messiah.
[But me it hateth] Because I condemn the ungodliness. Because my life and doctrine awaken guilt.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
[I go not up yet] Our Lord still had some business to attend to before going to the feast. We do not know what it was, but we know that time alone with the Father was a high priority.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
[But as it were in secret] His arrival at the feast was to be low key, without fanfare.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Notice the careful use of the words "Jews" and "people". The Jews are here to be understood as the religious and political rulers of the people.Many of the people favored Jesus, but they dared not admit it publicly for fear of the Jews, i.e. the rulers.

Carraig na bhFear GAA AGM Report
by Club P.R.O | Nov 24, 2015 | Club Meetings, Special Events |
We held our Annual General Meeting in Scoil an Athar Tadhg on Sat 14th November. A good crowd attended, perhaps slightly down on recent years however. Chairperson Dermot O'Driscoll opened the meeting welcomed all present. The minutes of the 2015 AGM were read and adopted. Outgoing secretary Liam Spillane presented a detailed report on the years events, which were busy both on and off the field. No joy for our Junior Hurlers or footballers in 2015, with the Junior A Hurlers bowing out at the semi final stage of the championship to St. Ita's, while the Junior A footballers suffered an early exit to Erins Own in the 3rd round of the championship in late April. The Junior B hurlers were defeated by Sarsfields in the 3rd round and the Junior B footballers had a disappointing defeat at home to St. Catherines in the quarter final of the championship.
At U21 level, the footballers lost to a very strong Dungourney outfit having had a well deserved win over Youghal in round 1, but the hurlers came up against a better balanced Castlelyons outfit in round 1 and exited at that stage. No silverware to show for the season but plenty to work with for 2016. Liam thanked all the management and selectors of the various teams and thanked the school and juvenile clubs for their hard work throughout the year. Special congratulations were offered to players who represented the club at divisional, colleges and intercounty level throughout the season, including Timmy Geaney, Aaron Dorgan, John & James Forde and Paul Sheehan. The minor hurlers had a particularly good year and were unfortunate to be defeated in the County Minor A Championship semi final by eventual champions Ahan Gaels.
A successful 5K road race was held in August and this event should become a regular feature in our fundraising efforts. As Liam rounded up his 3 year term, he thanked all those who work tirelessly year in year out for the good of the club and we've no doubt he will continue to be of great assistance to the club in the years ahead. Míle buiochas Liam.
Gillian Sheehan presented a detailed treasurers report, outlining our expenses and income for the year. With a major development on the horizon, the importance of fundraising was emphasised and the vital contribution of our club lotto was underlined also. The lotto report was presented by Tommy Sheehan and the committee was thanked for their continued efforts by Dermot O'Driscoll.
Dermot delivered his chairmans address and thanked all those who helped him in any way over the past year and throughout his three year term as chairman. With the club hoping to enter into a new development in the coming years, he expressed his optimism for the future of the club but that a lot of hard work still lies ahead to bring the vision to reality. As he steps back from the role in 2016, he wished the club and the new incoming officers the very best, in particular the new Chairperson Dan Joe Foley. Dermots contribution to the club over a long number of years has been invaluable and hopefully he will continue to be available when called upon in the future.
The following teams are to be entered for 2016: Junior A & B Hurling Championship, Junior A & B Football Championship, Junior A & B Hurling League, Junior A Football League, U21 Hurling & Football Championship.
Officers elected for 2016:
President: Eddie Hegarty

De vlag van Texel is bij raadsbesluit op 4 juni 1964 officieel bevestigd als de gemeentelijke vlag van de Nederlandse gemeente Texel. De vlag is echter al veel langer in gebruik als de vlag van het Noord-Hollandse Waddeneiland.

De omschrijving van de vlag is als volgt:

Waar de kleuren vandaan komen is niet bekend. Volgens Sierksma is het wapen bij de verlening ervan door de Hoge Raad van Adel verkeerd ingekleurd, en had een van de twee leeuwen de Texelse leeuw moeten voorstellen. Deze is groen van kleur. Daarmee zouden de kleuren verklaard kunnen worden.

Geschiedenis
Een eerste vermelding van de vlag van Texel stamt uit 1705. Later werden de kleuren ook toegepast in de uniformen van Texelse weeskinderen. Op een schild boven de ingang van een weeshuis staan twee weeskinderen met groen-zwarte kleding aan. Een officiële vaststelling als gemeentelijke vlag werd per buitengewone vergadering gedaan op 4 juni 1964. De vlag werd ook in april 1857 door Burgemeester en Wethouders gemeld bij de minister van Binnenlandse Zaken.

Historische vlaggen
Van de vlag zijn ook andere versies bekend, waaronder een versie met vier groen-zwarte banen: groen-zwart-groen-zwart. Ook deze banen zijn van gelijke hoogte. Deze versie werd in 1708 genoemd door Gerrit Hesman. Rond dezelfde tijd werd ook een vlag vermeld met groen-blauw als kleurcombinatie. Eveneens rond deze tijd wordt een vlag vermeld met 21 strepen. Aan de broekingzijde is de vlag rood-wit-blauw gestreept, over de volle hoogte zijn het 21 banen van gelijke hoogte. De broekingzijde is 1/7 breed, de bovenste en onderste banen rood-wit-blauw gaan over de volle lengte. Aan de vluchtzijde tussen de bovenste en onderste banen een blauwe en groene baan. Het was op de Waddeneilanden gewoonte om de eilandvlag in te naaien in een zoom van rood-wit-blauw.

Essential Benchmarks for WSIS
The essential benchmarks listed in this document reflect work in progress by the civil society content and themes group of the WSIS process. While there is consensus on the priorities stated here this document does not represent absolute consensus, nor does the order of the essential benchmarks constitute a strict ranking in order of importance. For more information on the WSIS CS CT group, contact: Sally Burch, <sburch@alainet.org>
The approach to the "Information Society" on which the WSIS has been based reflects, to a large extent, a narrow understanding in which ICTs means telecommunications and the Internet. This approach has marginalised key issues relating to the development potential inherent in the combination of knowledge and technology and thus conflicts with the broader development mandate given in UNGA Resolution 56/183.
Civil society is committed to a people-centred, inclusive approach based on respect for human rights principles and development priorities. We believe these principles and priorities should be embedded throughout the WSIS Declaration of Principles and Action Plan. This paper sets out the benchmarks against which civil society will assess the outcomes of the WSIS process and the commitment of all stakeholders to achieving its mandate.
The WSIS Declaration of Principles and Plan of Action, should take as their foundations the international human rights framework. This implies the full integration, concrete application and enforcement of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including labour rights, the right to development, as well as the principle of non-discrimination. The universality, indivisibility, interrelatedness and interdependence of all human rights should be clearly recognised, together with their centrality to democracy and the rule of law.
All Principles of the Declaration and all activities in the Action Plan, should be in full compliance with international human rights standards, which should prevail over national legislative frameworks. The "information society" must not result in any discrimination or deprivation of human rights resulting from the acts or omissions of governments or of non-state actors under their jurisdictions. Any restriction on the use of ICTs must pursue a legitimate aim under international law, be prescribed by law, be strictly proportionate to such an aim, and be necessary in a democratic society.
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is of fundamental and specific importance to the information society, requiring that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression and the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
3.Poverty reduction and the Right to Development
Given the unequal distribution of wealth among and within nations, the struggle against poverty should be the top priority on theagenda of the World Summit on the Information Society. It is not possible to achieve sustainable development by embracing new communication technologies without challenging existing inequalities.
Civil society organisations from different parts of the world unite in their call to governments to take this matter very seriously. We want to emphasise that challenging poverty requires more than setting of 'development agendas'.It requires the commitment of significant financial and other resources, linked with social and digital solidarity, channeled through existing and new financing mechanisms that are managed transparently and inclusively of all sectors of society.
4.Sustainable development
An equitable Information Society must be shaped by the needs of people and communities and based on sustainable economic, social development and democratic principles, including the Millennium Development Goals.
Only development that embraces the principles of social justice and gender equality can be said to centrally address fundamental social, cultural and economic divides. Market-based development solutions often fail to address more deep-rooted and persistent inequalities in and between countries of the North and South.
Democratic and sustainable development of in the information society can therefore not be left solely to market forces and the propagation of technology. In order to balance commercial objectives with legitimate social interests, recognition should be given to the need for responsibility of the public sector, appropriate regulation and development of public services, and the principle of equitable and affordable access to services.
People and communities must be empowered to develop their own solutions within the information society, in particular to fight poverty and to participate in development through fully democratic processes that allow community access to and participation in decision-making.
5.1 Gender Equality
An equitable and inclusive Information Society must be based on gender justice and be particularly guided by the interpretation of principles of gender equality, non-discrimination and women's empowerment as contained in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the CEDAW Convention. The Action Plan must demonstrate a strong commitment to an intersectional approach to redressing discrimination resulting from unequal power relations at all levels of society. To empower girls and women throughout their life cycle, as shapers and leaders of society, gender responsive educational programs and appropriate learning environments need to be promoted. Gender analysis and the development of both quantitative and qualitative indicators in measuring gender equality through an extensive and integrated national system of monitoring and evaluation are "musts".
5.2 Disability
Specific needs and requirements of all stakeholders, including those with disabilities, must be considered in ICT development. Accessibility and inclusiveness of ICTs is best done at an early stage of design, development and production, so that the Information Society is to become the society for all, at minimum cost.
5.3 Labour rights
Essential human rights, such as privacy, freedom of expression, and the right of trade unions to communicate with employees, should be respected in the workplace. ICTs are progressively changing our way of working and the creation of a secure, safe and healthy working environment , appropriate to the utilisation of ICTs, respecting core labour standards, is fundamental. ICTs should be used to promote awareness of, respect for and enforcement of universal human rights standards and core labor standards.
5.4 Indigenous Peoples
The evolution of the Information Society must be founded on the respect and promotion of the recognition of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and their distinctiveness as outlined in the ILO Convention 169 and the UN Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. They have fundamental rights to protect, preserve and strengthen their own identity and cultural diversity. ICT's should be used to support and promote the rights and means of Indigenous Peoples to benefit fully and with priority from their cultural, intellectual and so-called natural resources.
6. Literacy, Education and Research
Literacy and free universal access to education is a key principle. All initiatives must embrace this principle and respond to needs of all. Knowledge societies require an informed and educated citizenry. Capacity building needs to include skills to use ICTs, media and information literacy, and the skills needed for active citizenship including the ability to find, appraise, use and create information and technology. Approaches that are local, horizontal, gender-responsive and socially-driven and mediated should be prioritised. A combination of traditional and new media as well as open access to knowledge and information should be encouraged.
7. Cultural and linguistic diversity
Communications media and information technologies have a particularly important role to play in sustaining and developing the world's cultures and languages. The implementation of this principle requires support for a plurality of means of information and communication and respect for cultural and linguistic diversity, as outlined in UNESCO's Declaration on Cultural Diversity.
8. Access and Infrastructure
Global universal access to communication and information should be a target of the WSIS action plan and the expansion of the global information infrastructure should be based on principles of equality and partnership and guided by rules of fair competition and regulation at both national and international levels. The integration of access, infrastructure and training of the citizenry and the generation of local content, in a framework of social networks and clear public or private policies, is a key basis for the development of egalitarian and inclusive information societies. The evolution of policy should be coordinated internationally but enable a diversity of appropriate solutions based on national and regional input and international sharing of information and resources. This should be people-centered and process-orientated, rather than technologically determined and expert dominated.
9.Governance and enabling environment
9.1Democratic governance
Good governance in a democratic society implies openness, transparency, accountability, and compliance with the rule of law. Respect for these principles is needed to enforce the right to take part in the conduct of public affairs. Public access to information produced or maintained by governments should be enforced, ensuring that the information is timely, complete and accessible in a format and language the public can understand. This also applies to access to information produced or maintained by corporations where this relates to activities affecting the public interest.
While allowing for government information services to communicate their message, state-controlled media at the national level should be transformed into editorially independent public service media organisations and/or privatised. Efforts which encourage pluralism and diversity of media ownership must be encouraged to avoid excessive media concentration.
9.3 Community media
Community media, that is media which are independent, community-driven and civil-society based, have a specific and crucial role to play in enabling access and participation for all to the information society, especially the poorest and most marginalised communities. Community media should be supported and promoted. Governments should assure that legal frameworks for community media are non-discriminatory and provide for equitable allocation of frequencies through transparent and accountable mechanisms.
9.4Internet governance
The global governance of ICT must be based on the values of open participation, inclusiveness, transparency, and democratic accountability. It should establish and support universal participation in addressing new international policy and technical issues raised by the Internet and ICT. No single body and no single stakeholder group is able to manage all of the issues alone. Many stakeholders, cooperating in strict accordance with widely supported rules and procedures, must define the global agenda.
The non-government sector has played a historically critical role in Internet Governance, and this must be recognised. The strength of the Internet as an open non-Government platform should be reinforced, with an explicit and stronger role for Civil Society. The role of Governments should be no greater than that of any other stakeholder group.
10Public Domain of Global Knowledge
10.1 Limited intellectual monopolies
Human knowledge, including the knowledge of all peoples and communities, also those who are remote and excluded, is the heritage of all humankind and the reservoir from which new knowledge is created. A rich public domain is essential to inclusive information societies. Limited intellectual monopolies, such as copyrights or patents, are granted only for the benefit of society, most notably to encourage creativity and innovation. The benchmark against which they must be reviewed and adjusted regularly is how well they fulfill their purpose.
10.2Free Software
Software is the cultural technique of the digital age and access to it determines who may participate in a digital world. Free Software with its freedoms of use for any purpose, studying, modification and redistribution is an essential building block for an empowering, sustainable and inclusive information society. No software model should be forbidden or negatively regulated, but Free Software should be promoted for its unique social, educational, scientific, political and economic benefits and opportunities.
10.3 Access to information in the public domain
Today, more than 80% of mankind has no access to the reservoir of human knowledge that is the public domain and from which our new knowledge is created. Their intellectual power remains uninitialised and consequently unused, lost to all humankind. The reservoir of human knowledge must be made equally available to all in online and offline media by means of Free Documentation, public libraries andother initiatives to disseminate information.
10.4 Open access to scientific information
Free scientific information is a requirement for sustainable development. Science is the source of the technological development that empowers the Information Society, including the World Wide Web. In the best tradition of science, scientific authors donate their work to humankind and therefore, it must be equally available to all, on the Web, in online Open Access journals and online Open Archives.
11. Security and privacy
11.1 Integrity and security
Definitions of criminal and terrorist purposes in existing and emerging policies and legislation are ambiguous and prevent the use of information resources for legitimate purposes. The legitimate need for infrastructure integrity must avoid shift to the highly politicised agenda characterised by language referring to the integrity of the military field and the use of information resources for criminal and terrorist purposes.
11.2 Right to privacy
The right to privacy should be affirmed in the context of the information society. It must be defended in public spaces, online, offline, at home and in the workplace. Every person must have the right to decide freely whether and in what manner he or she wants to receive information and communicate with others. The possibility of communicating anonymously must be ensured for everyone. The collection, retention, use and disclosure of personal data, no matter by whom, should remain under the control of the individual concerned. The power of the private sector and governments over personal data, including monitoring and surveillance, increases the risk of abuse, and must be kept to a minimum under clearly specified, legal conditions.

Today, June 10th, is National Iced Tea day! Iced tea(or sweet tea as we call it) is a staple in the south so I grew up with that being the main drink in pretty much every household and restaurant around; whether it's freshly made by boiling the tea bags or if it's sun tea, which is a slower process. So as you can imagine it was a culture shock for me when I moved to Idaho and couldn't find good sweet tea anywhere except McDonalds or the fake stuff you buy in the store.
Thanks for stopping by! I am a photographer turned food blogger trying to understand the culture of food, and I would love for you to join me on my journey!


Pregnancy in 26th Week means the last phase of the second time period of pregnancy. When you have reached 26th week of pregnancy, there are obvious physical changes that you may notice. The pregnant woman displays a bulging tummy and she may also experience Braxton Hick's contraction every day. These contractions are normal during this stage of pregnancy. It has resemblance with the menstrual cramps and are painless. Braxton Hick's contractions prepare the body for the delivery that will follow and also for the labor pain that a woman feels during delivery. You may feel tired due to muscles cramps and weight gain. Other common symptoms that you may face during pregnancy in 26th week include heart burns, muscle pains, rib pains and discomfort.
The baby grows at a steady pace during this phase. The baby is nearly 9 to 10 inches in length during this time. The length of the baby does not include the measurements of the legs. The weight of the baby during this phase is around 2 pounds. Pregnancy in 26th shows various developments in the baby. He or she starts to blink the eyes. The baby is more or less lean at this stage. The heart has started to function in a proper manner. Blood veins are developing in the lungs and the baby starts to breathe. The circulation system has also developed. Fingernails and toenails are also growing at this phase.
Changes in the body during pregnancy in 26th week: If the expectant mother is taking a proper diet, then she must have gained 20 to 23 pounds. However, the weight may vary due to water retention capacity. The pregnant woman may feel rib pains because the baby is stretching and kicking his or her legs. These minor pains are very normal at this stage. You may also experience strain and headaches during this phase.
Pregnancy in 26th week leads to weight gain. It mostly happens because of the baby and also due to surplus fluid in the body.
You must realize that this weight gain is for a temporary time period. After delivery the woman becomes normal again. You need to take sufficient rest during this time. Relax and sleep well to maintain a good health. Maintain a positive outlook. To relieve pains you may also do some light exercises such as yoga. Visit the doctor regularly and have balanced diet. Abstain from smoking and alcohol.

Home Eagles From What Angle Are You Viewing This?
From What Angle Are You Viewing This?
By Patrick Lowe
Comments Off on From What Angle Are You Viewing This?
I want everyone reading this today to think of a simple glass, sitting on a table. Now, imagine that glass, with a line at the mid-way mark. Fill this glass with water right up to that half-way line. Now, take a step back and just look at the glass.
Some will see the glass as half empty. There's still room for water, but no water is there. Those same people might also view the current season as a complete lost cause, and that is certainly their right. 3-5 is not a good place to be, sitting at the mid-way point of the season.
Now, other people might see that same glass as half-full. There is still room for water, just as there is still room and time for this Eagles team to make some noise in the NFC. Last season, the team made a late run, but that type of run has to be made, starting now. And, what better way to start a run than by beating the Cowboys at home next week.
Did the team play poorly last night? Again, it all depends on how one is viewing the glass. I liked the imagination on the special-teams play, even though it was called back. I liked the running back rotation that was going on. And, I certainly liked the way DeSean Jackson outran everyone on the way to the end zone.
Now, if I go to the other side of the table, I hate the O-line. But, I can make an argument that, in the NFL, every team goes through injuries. Sure, the Eagles have had more than their fair share at this particular spot. But, it is pretty glaring when your quarterback is getting drilled time and time again. I can say that I hate the way the defense is playing, trying way too much to strip the ball away from someone, rather than just getting someone to the ground. And, I can say that, when I have moved the ball all over the field through the ground game, once I get near the end zone, I'm not dropping back to throw.
But then again, it all depends on what side of the table you, as an Eagles fan, are looking at the glass. I like to think that the Eagles can still turn it around, and make a run in the second half. I like to think that, somewhere, deep down in guys like Trent Cole, Jason Babin, Cullen Jenkins and DeMeco Ryans…..pride will kick in, and they will just begin to play completely out of their minds. I also like to think that somewhere in the Eagles complex, Andy Reid is telling Marty Mornhinweg to go back to the offense that beat the Giants; the short two and three step drops, hit Jeremy Maclin and Jackson on some slants and stop routes, and let them make plays in space.
Each season has its ups and downs. Sure, the Eagles have experienced a lot of downs through the first half. Hopefully, the team can put it all behind them, and focus on the upside of what a great second half of the season can bring. It's all still there. It just depends on what side of the table they all view the glass.
Fly, Eagles…….Fly!!!!!!!!!

They depict many countries he visited whilst with the Navy, including shots of Tonga and the West Indies, and famous sites such as the pyramids of Egypt. The slides also document the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1895. Twelve of the slides capture disturbing scenes of the anti-foreign uprising, which are 'not for the faint hearted to see'.
The slides, originally black and white, were painted by Henry Harrison himself to add colour. The paint set he used will also be included in the auction. Deborah Doyle, the owner of Duke's Auction House, describes the 'poignant' slides as 'an important part of our world history'.


I didn't think the next update would be quite this soon. My Dad died this morning, at about 9:30 a.m.
The last few weeks he had been declining fast. He was having trouble walking; the last time we went out to eat he needed to be in the wheelchair, and even then it was a terrible hassle getting him in and out of the car. The week before this, I made him crepes instead of taking him out. This week, he wasn't able to eat by himself– his caregiver had to feed him. He was unresponsive at times; other times he'd talk, but be hard to understand. I saw him Friday and he seemed agitated but couldn't quite explain what was wrong. Still, he just seemed to run out of steam rather than suffer much.


Sudo make me an admin. I will fix it.
Can't access my private messages.
I had a backup script that wasn't cleaning up after itself (like my dog..). Should be ok now?
Any way to get tweets fixed in Black? Maybe the theme has been updated?
They just say "Loading Tweet" and I have to actually follow the link to see what it is.
Usually that is caused by privacy/ad/script software. Ublock Origin was doing to me until I whitelisted OO.
I disabled Ublock Origin and I still have the issue. Maybe https everywhere too?
Thanks I will make a note of it.. I've been dodging updating the board for awhile and I think I need to bite the bullet and just get it done; I'll try and find where it's serving that up insecure when using https.
Multiple people on Facebook are reporting the site is giving them a blank page, all within the last ten minutes.
If it matters. IE says page unreachable. Firefox displays an empty page. Chrome says Error 500. Pings and tracerts all work great.
That's why my second thought was firewall rule change when Marty said it was just me.
www.octopusoverlords.com is currently unable to handle this request.
I'm able to get to it just fine from Chrome and Safari, so...there.
Ok well I did just do a massive update.. Let me go investigate.
I just did an httpd restart. Did that help?
Conveyed. I'll let you know if they respond.
Firefox works for me but just tried Chrome and it gave me the Error 500.
on [redacted's] post, to avoid DNS, went to 142.44.139.5 and was redirected to 142.44.139.5/forum. Same problelm.
Ok I can replicate this in safari.. WTF.
Fixed was the cleantalk plugin. I need to do some homework on this. Should be working now.
His name makes me think of a small, burrowing rodent anyway.
The funny thing is that I was posting all that from Chrome. Plugin/security incompatibility, perhaps?
I am going to muck with this plugin a bit, don't be surprised if something breaks momentarily.
Only thing I see wrong in Black is that the Steam profile box is wider than the column it's in. That bugs me but it works. Thanks!
I hadn't noticed, but now that you told me I can't stop noticing it.
I turned the plugin back on, and had the problem once after disabling the old anti spam module.. Did a re-enable and it worked again, disabled again and it seems fine on my side.
Please report if the site goes blank for some people again, I'm a little cautious as I didn't change much to warrant a "fix".
There are some terrible formatting issues when viewing the site on a mobile browser (specifically on my phone).
I'm particular, last post date/times overlap with thread page numbers on each subforum page.
Busted for me, as well.
Yeah no error in the logs either which makes it hard to figure out wtf. I think in the fall when this server comes up for renewal (well late summer really) I am going to move to a cheaper option within the same provider (SoYouStart vs OVH -- it's OVH, but at a reduced support tier and older hardware -- costs are about 50% less) and convert to MyBB. PhpBB has run it's course I think, there does not appear to be much support for it from an extension perspective (Under phpbb 3.2) and the forum support staff are neckbearded edgelord assholes.
Search should be fixed, along with a number of other errors. CleanTalk plugin was the culprit; not sure why yet. Ticket opened with them, but it seems like this thing might not be as good as we thought it was.
Reinstalled the cleantalk plugin on the latest version from GIT and it seemed to work ok. Let me know if anything is borked.
I would swear I had figured out how to read the site with names and avatars on the left, but I forget what I changed.
Now they're back on the right, and reading the page gives me whiplash. Can someone tell me again what setting to use to get everyone over on the left?


The PROBMODEL statement defines the model effects for the mixing probabilities and their link function and starting values. Model effects (other than the implied intercept) are not supported with Bayesian estimation. By default, the HPFMM procedure models mixing probabilities on the logit scale for two-component models and as generalized logit models in situations with more than two components. The PROBMODEL statement is not required.
For k=2, the generalized logit model reduces to a model with the logit link (a logistic model); hence the attribute generalized logit.
By default, an intercept is included in the model for the mixing probabilities. If you suppress the intercept with the NOINT option, you must specify at least one effect in the statement.
requests that confidence intervals that have the confidence level be constructed for the parameters in the probability model. The value of number must be between 0 and 1; the default is 0.05. If the probability model is simple—that is, it does not contain any effects—the confidence intervals are produced for the estimated parameters (on the logit scale) and for the mixing probabilities. This option has no effect when you perform Bayesian estimation. You can modify credible interval settings by specifying the STATISTICS(ALPHA=) option in the BAYES statement.
specifies the link function in the model for the mixing probabilities. The default is a logit link for models with two components. For models with more than two components, only the generalized logit link is available. The keywords and expressions for the associated link functions for two-component models are shown in Table 6.7.
requests that no intercept be included in the model for the mixing probabilities. An intercept is included by default. If you suppress the intercept with the NOINT option, you must specify at least one other effect for the mixing probabilities—since an empty probability model is not meaningful.
specifies starting values for the parameters. The specification of the parameters takes the following form: parameters in the mean function appear in a list, and parameters for different components are separated by commas. Starting values are given on the linked scale, not in terms of probabilities. Also, you need to specify starting values for each of the first k–1 components in a k-component model. The linear predictor for the last component is always assumed to be zero.
The following statements specify a three-component mixture of multiple regression models. The PROBMODEL statement does not list any effects, a standard "intercept-only" generalized logit model is used to model the mixing probabilities.
You can specify missing values for parameters whose starting values are to be determined by the default method.


Below are just a few examples of before & after cases with some of our patients.
This is a young patient who was referred to Dr. Darnell by a local orthodontist. Dr. Darnell bonded the front tooth to restore it before the orthodontist could apply braces.
This patient had old fillings, which developed new decay. Dr. Darnell replaced the old fillings and decay with composite fillings.
This patient had a single front tooth crown placed, perfectly matching his existing teeth.
These are before and after photos of a patient for whom Dr. Darnell used dental bonding to repair the fractured right central tooth.
This patient had old amalgam fillings replaced with composite fillings for a more natural look.
