Being assured of security makes someone feel happy at all times. You have to secure your loved ones and business premises if you are looking forward to have an enjoyable life. Technology has important security systems that are updated. You can even know what is happening around your home when you have installed these security systems. It is vital to invest in installing these security systems but is even more important to hire the professional security guards beef up the security of your home or business. These days unlike there before, you can find security guards from companies who have gone to school because most of these companies employ guards who are educated. What good news then these do you want to hear that you will be having educated guards in your premises and homes. There is also a training that the guards goes through apart from being educated. The other thing that you are going to learn from the security companies is that their guards have the knowledge of using the latest security equipment. There are numerous reasons why you should go for the services of the security guards from security companies. You should not rush in making the decision of going for the services of any security company around but you should take your time to do a research. Provided below are some important reasons why you should hire the services of the security company to work for the security of your home or business.
The guards protects your business premises and home from burglars. There are a lot of businesses out there that have been closed because the intruders broke in and went away with everything. With the services of the highly trained security guards, the possibility of experiencing such issues is minimal.
The security of your loved ones at home, workers at the workplace and even the suppliers to your premise lies on your hands. You will have assured your clients, workers, and merchants security when you hire the security guards.
The other important benefit of going for the service of the security guards from the security company is because they are trained to monitor the surveillance cameras. After monitoring the security systems, the guards are trained on how they should attend to the matter immediately.
The other benefit of hiring a licensed security company in your home or business is because of the reduction of the insurance fees. This is because you will have reduced the risks to the business and home.


Seizing all the passion and energy of the song "How Far I'll Go" from Disney's movie, the tiny tot and her doting dad have created yet another adorable video you've got to see.
Dressed as the star of the show, resplendent in her adorable Polynesian princess costume, Claire Ryann continues to stun and amaze her millions of adoring fans. If you're not one yet after watching this video you will be.
Claire and her daddy, Dave are immediately recognizable from their viral videos on little Claire's YouTube channel. She has performed such amazing numbers from other Disney flicks like Toy Story's "You've Got a Friend in Me," Tangled's "See the Light," and Beauty and the Beast's "Tale as Old as Time." So it's only natural that the little rising star should have a go at my favorite song, "How Far I'll Go".
You can only imagine how exciting it was for the four-year-old to film this epic performance with her family while they were at the beach. Her adorable Moana -inspired Polynesian costume comes complete with the iconic necklace worn by the heroine in the story – and now little Claire. OH, it must have been a dream come true for the little girl.
We aren't the only ones who loved this video. It has taken off like a rocket. Within two hours of being uploaded to YouTube, her Moana song video garnered over 2 million views. Today, just a few months later, it's now gotten over 27 MILLION views. That's incredible, but once you see and hear her sing, you'll see why.

DuJour Magazine Nabs Fourth Editor in Chief From InStyle
The high-end lifestyle magazine has brought on Kim Peiffer.

DuJour's Spring 2017 Issue.
InStyle's executive digital editor Kim Peiffer has been named DuJour's new editor in chief, WWD has learned.
Peiffer worked with InStyle — formerly part of Time Inc. which was acquired late last year by Meredith Corp. only to have the eponymous title be put up in March for sale again — for about five years in various editor roles before becoming executive editor for digital in 2016. Before joining InStyle, she worked with the defunct Hedi Klum vertical for HuffPost and was a writer for People, according to an online profile.
Peiffer could not be reached or comment, nor could representatives of DuJour or InStyle.
It's unclear whether Peiffer chose to leave the magazine or was part of Meredith's planned layoffs set to affect more than 1,000 employees as it aims to cut up to $500 million in costs. Those cuts are in addition to the proposed sale of Time, Money, Fortune and Sports Illustrated, which Meredith said didn't fit in with its mainly lifestyle and entertainment titles. Those four magazines are also the only to have staffers with union representation.
DuJour was launched in 2012 by chief executive officer and publisher Jason Binn as a quarterly print fashion and lifestyle magazine aimed at the wealthy with a digital publication that started on Gilt.com.
Its last editor in chief was Renee Lucas Horan, who looks to have quietly left the title late last year. DuJour has continued to increase its digital presence while maintaining its print issues.

Q: Distributed & Cloud GIS Resources Are there any definitive research papers, web resources, or (text)books on distributed GIS? Topics I'm interested in are:

*

*Parallelism of sequential spatial algorithms

*Frameworks for implementing GIS in either the cloud/cluster environment

*FOSS and commercial software for the above

I have seen this question, but I want something a bit more definitive. CW status would be beneficial, as well as recommendations for tags.
EDIT: I have entered a number of these terms on Google Scholar, and while I am a graduate student and deal with research papers on a regular basis many of the results are not substantive or encompassing.

A: I have done several projects in this regard, but at the end they always ended up being custom solutions that basically

*

*separated the problem in grids

*did the processing in each individual node and copied the result to a temp table / data store

*merged all the solutions to a single result table and optionally handled boundary conditions. Handling boundary conditions was only required for cases where features needed to be stitched or massaged (for example when building a topology in a distributed manner, you want the boundary features to snap).

Funny enough, every single time I solved a problem of this nature, I used a different technology, mostly because that was the fad of the time. At the end, what you want is a message passing library that has a job queue manager, spawns processes on the different nodes, and that has some sort of synchronization mechanism (Semapahore's, Barrier's, etc) and some way to handle errors and retry. All the projects I mention below have these things.
For geo, I have used (in chronological order):
(old school)

*

*CORBA

*DCOM

*an MPI implementation known as MPICH
(newer)

*

*Gearman

*Apache Hadoop MapReduce

*Celery
There are several others that people use.
At the end, any of these would cut it (albeit in a slightly different way), so it boils down to picking one that has a community that is helpful.
Also, on every node, you would have to use a library to do the GIS geometry operations. The recommendation for which one to use would come based on the language that you prefer to code this in. But I am sure the options that most people would give you would be:

*

*GEOS

*JTS

*CGAL

*ArcObject's Geometry module
Or some other library that serves as wrappers to one of these.

A: We are developing a MapReduce based system with SQL interface for large scale spatial data management.

Limitation breeds inspiration in the 4th instalment of 12×12 at Sydney's aMBUSH Gallery.
It's been 4 years since the first exhibition at aMBUSH Gallery, 12×12 returns in 2011. There's a great, simple idea behind the exhibition – 12 Australian artists each displaying 12 artworks on 12×12 inch canvases.
The format, while offering certain limitations, asks the artists to create sharp, well-thought-out works, while helping to make art by some of Australia's biggest names much more affordable.
This year there are some exciting additions including Daek, Drewfunk, Ears, Edward Woodley, Gary Seaman, Gimiks Born, Mark Alsweiler, Rone, Sean Morris, Shannon Crees, Shida and Troy Archer.
The exhibition runs from 22 – 31 July and the artworks will be available for sale online from 23 July at watim.com/12×12.

Angie Thomas shares her tips on what to plant this winter. Maderia Reds.
WINTER isn't the ideal time to grow flowers or plant vegetables, and all green thumbs know it's harder to keep your garden looking fresh.
But we live in the Garden City and many talented residents have found a way to keep their garden flourishing in winter and you can too.
Yates horticulture consultant Angie Thomas said there were lots of way to have a beautiful garden in the colder months.
"With so much you can do in June, there's no need for gardeners to hibernate during winter," she said.
"From planting flowering plants to growing delicious veggies, you can keep your kitchen well stocked with healthy homegrown ingredients and brighten your outdoor spaces."
Angie Thomas shares her tips on what to plant this winter.
Alyssum is commonly grown as a pretty filler in amongst other flowers in pots and garden beds. Alyssum can also take centre stage and make a gorgeous border plant on its own.
Carpet of snow is a long lasting and hardy annual that is smothered in masses of tiny honey scented white flowers.
If you're after vibrant colour during winter, then look out for the madeira range of argyranthemum daisies.
The madeira range are quick to grow and will reach up to 75 cm high. To keep them healthy feed with a fast acting liquid fertiliser that's boosted with additional potassium to promote lots of gorgeous flowers.
Asplenium australasicum, commonly known as the bird's nest fern, is native to Australia's east coast.
Bird's nest ferns have a striking upright vase shape which adds structural interest and with green fronds reaching up to 1.5 m long can create a wonderful garden focal point.
Angie Thomas shares her tips on what to plant this winter. White alyssum.
Tropical and sub-tropical gardeners can plant cherry tomatoes throughout the winter months.
Cherry tomatoes can be directly sown into backyard veggie patches in a position that receives at least six hours of sun per day. To encourage healthy growth and a great harvest, keep the soil consistently moist and feed regularly with tomato plant food.
You can start sweet potatoes by letting a tuber develop some 15 cm long sprouts and planting these directly into moist soil.
These sprouts will form roots and sweet potato tubers will develop over five to six months.
Greenway iceberg lettuce is a variety that's been specially bred for warm climates. It has crisp tender leaves and is a hardy lettuce that's resistant to downy mildew.
Seed can be sown directly into a sunny veggie patch and lettuces can be harvested in as little as nine weeks. Sow more seed each week to give you an ongoing supply of this essential salad ingredient.

The IVR Clinic – with Allison Smith: The 15 Commandments of IVR
By Allison Smith
The 15 Commandments of IVR
I am not an engineer of IVR systems; I do not write code, and I certainly don't program or implement IVR systems. I am a professional voice talent who specializes in voicing IVR and auto-attendant systems — I have voiced platforms for large telcos and independent companies and organizations internationally; and I am probably best known for my work voicing the prompts for Asterisk, practically since its inception. Thanks to Asterisk, my voice can likely be heard — somewhere around the world — at any given moment of the day or night. I have been approached by Digium to blog directly on their site about the "science" of IVR — what makes a good IVR system flow; and conversely — what makes a system clunky and awkward to navigate around.
As I've alluded to: I'm no technical expert.
But from my experience in voicing IVR systems each and every day, I've acquired a bit of a working knowledge about the common pitfalls, and aspects which can radically improve the flow of an IVR. Through trial and error — and making the most out of badly written scripts while rejoicing in well-written ones — I can tell you what works and what likely won't. I have arrived at a "Top Ten" list (well, actually, 15) of common pitfalls which I perceive to be the biggest barriers that get in the way of well-meaning companies just wanting to have an efficient method in which to guide their customers around their company's structure, and their clients — who only want the path of least resistance (and least frustration) to interacting with the company. A point of clarification — and this was big watershed moment when this was pointed out to me by noted Asterisk guru Jim Van Meggelen: "IVR" seems to be a catch-all term which (we think) applies to a device which automatically transfers the caller to an extension without the intervention of an operator — this is actually an "Auto Attendant". IVR — or Interactive Voice Response — is a technology that allows a computer to detect voice and DTMF keypad inputs or by speech recognition. In the telephony industry, "IVR" has come to be a generic term which has taken on the meaning of "Those Automated Prompts Which Guide You Around a Telephone Tree" (I'm guilty of genericizing that, too — my domain is theIVRvoice.com
— but to hedge my bets, I also immediately purchased theautoattendantvoice.com after Mr. Van Meggelen set me straight. I'm not taking any chances.) For the interest of simplicity, and the universality of its use, I will continue to use "IVR" as the catchall term which describes the automated nature of a telephony system. Even though it may be perpetuating a misnomer.
So on with that "Top 15 List": If I had to narrow down the most common mistakes in writing and executing IVR scripts, I could probably boil them down into fifteen major "commandments" which should be broken only at your own peril (and only if you goal is to create a frustrating experience for your customer base):
1. Don't Overestimate Your Listener's Attention Span
2. Thou Shalt Not Create Fake Mailboxes
3. Keep Things Simple
4. Always Give Callers an Opt-"In"
5. Front-Load Important Information
6. Understand What Constitutes a "Prompt"
7. Understand The Effects of Proper Punctuation in Concatenation
8. Thou Shalt Not Give Directions To Your Office/Facility
9. Give a Pronunciation Guide for Proper Names and Place Names
10. Name Your Company Something That Needs No Special Instruction
11 Don't Go Overboard with Niceties
12. Read The Copy Out Loud
13. Be Clear on Your Company's Vision/Image — And Be Able To Explain That To Me
14. Don't Front-Load Too Much Information in The Opening Greeting
15. Write in a Conversational Tone
Each Blog, I'll spotlight one of these aspects, and explain in detail why following the above points will ensure a less-frazzled clientele, and you will enjoy the bonus of calls coming in following a nicely organized structure and being dealt with in a timely manner. Bliss!
A win-win for everyone!
Next blog, I'll plant the all-important seed about attention spans. It's by far the most pivotal of all the points. If you master this, your IVR karma will be impenetrable.

Harry Casimir says:
Hi Allison,
Thank you for the fantastic blog post. I will be sure to follow up on your writing more often.
WOW, spot on advise. I like the idea of a 15 rules. Many I've not thought of. We look forward to more.
Carlos Alvarez says:
I'd add a 16th rule; don't ever allow a dead end or assume that the call will be answered in a certain time, or at all.
I've had this discussion with at least half of our new customers. They write call routes that assume someone will be there to answer the phone within a certain time, and don't give me any way to route the call if it doesn't happen. And I guarantee it will occasionally happen. Someone is out sick, off doing something urgent, or simply overloaded, and calls end up going to never-never land. Nothing will tell your customers "call someone else" like being hung up on or left in a queue with no updates for minutes at a time.
It's most amusing when I call a prospect or new customer's old system and get stuck or hung up on. "Say, I can help you with this problem." I do appreciate being handed such an easy sales advantage.
This includes a night mode, and a transition to that mode. Calls in progress must be handled as people leave for the day, and new calls need to clearly inform the caller on the company's status and what their options are.
Kirk says:
You know I would love to read this entire series, but I find myself wondering if Digium has made it difficult to get to them in order on purpose.
Hey Digium, how about a link at the bottom or top of each article to the next and previous articles in the seriers?
jtodd says:
No, we're certainly not trying to hide those articles! Our blog engine just churns along under its own power, and some articles move away from the spotlight with some time.

Having bought the Samson Go Mic I realised that I had nowhere to position in on my desk, especially with the monitors being wider than the in-built clamp, soolution found was rthe Andoer MS-12 Mini Foldable Mic Desk Stand. There is not a lot to say about it other than it does what it is supposed to do, comes in at under £6 with Amazon ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013U48ZZ4 ) although you can find it a little cheaper elsewhere (and I got mine with a Mic Clip as well still for less) and if nothing else makes a great fixing for a pop filter!
Foldable design for ease of carrying and storing.
Tripod design to give it exceptional strength.
Non-slip rubber feet to protect your desk from scratches.
With a clutch to help you lock the stand, more stable.
Made of high quality iron, durable and sturdy. Suitable for meetings, lectures, speaking and ect.

There has been a significant growth in the area of open & distance education around the world. Open Distance Learning (ODL) mode of education has been recognized as one of the effective tools of educationally empowering those sections of the society, which could not afford to join the formal on-campus education due to various reasons. As a result it is an effective tool for non-formal education. Presently, ODL institutions are not only imparting education as an alternative to the formal system but also making effective contribution in areas, such as vocational and technical education and even in high technology based education. The distance education also has potential to reach to un-reached and even marginalized and excluded groups of the society such as tribal populations and Muslim women. Open and distance education provides an opportunity to students for acquiring new knowledge and skills that are needed for their development. Jamia Hamdard being in education for a long time has taken initiatives to offer an opportunity to those students who are unable to get on-campus education and those who have limited access to educational resources.
The School of Open and Distance Learning (SODL) of Jamia Hamdard was established in 2004 to promote education through open and distance learning system. Its flexible and innovative methods of education to ensure 'independent learning' to anyone, anytime and anywhere. ODL programmes of Jamia Hamdard also envisage to provide an opportunity to girls from Muslim community, who by and large have been left out by the national educational endeavors.
Jamia Hamdard's study programmes under ODL are selective and customized to meet the learning requirements of knowledge seekers as well as to ensure that they learn at their own pace and convenience. Within the financial means of University, due care has been taken to keep the cost of education low, so that educationally backward sections can take advantage of University's programmes through ODL mode. This goal in view, the DODL of Jamia Hamdard has made concerted efforts to offer professional and job oriented courses with regular updates of curricula and study material and introduction of tools of Information Technology.
Jamia Hamdard offer education through ODL mode in few selected programmes where University has tremendous strength. The courses are designed and developed with views to prepare a cadre of manpower with requisite knowledge and professional skills so that they can effectively function in the globalised economy, which is no doubt highly knowledge intensive. In its endeavors to cater for education and training needs of different socio-economic groups, the programmes have been carefully identified to fill the contemporary gaps in available courses offered by other institutions and the market demand, and/or to provide cost-effective options to the weaker sections of the society, who are unable to reap the benefit of development due to lack of adequate education, training and skills.
Without sacrificing the quality of education, the cost of education is kept very low so that the economically deprived sections may afford to pay fees and benefit from the educational opportunity provided at the doorsteps.
Following courses are offered through distance mode:
Duration (Years)
P.G. Diploma in Bio-informatics (PGDB)
B.Sc. in Biology or B.Sc. in Mathematics/ Statistics with Biology in 10+2 examination

In-Between Hops: Gold Glove? Really?
"He's got an opportunity one day to win a Gold Glove in left field. He certainly does."
Wow. That's some pretty big talk.
"His throwing arm is off the charts... quick release, low, flat trajectory on his throws, tremendous power and just phenomenal accuracy.
"He was an outstanding outfielder, ran well, read the ball well, threw outstanding."
Perhaps those same things will be said about Braun one day. It doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.

A randomized double blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted in 80 UC patients whose disease had been documented and were in remission state between September 2009 and October 2010. Patients were assigned to silymarin group (42 cases) and placebo group (38 cases) using a random number table. Either silymarin (140 mg) or placebo (lactose mono-hydrate, corn starch magnesium stearate) tablets were given once daily for 6 months along with their standard therapy. The efficacies were assessed by disease activity index (DAI), frequency difference of the disease flare-up, and paraclinical data.
Ten patients (4 in the silymarin group due to nausea and 6 in the placebo group due to disease flare-up and abdominal pain) discontinued the study. An improvement in hemoglobin level (11.8±1.6 g/dL vs. 13.4±1.2 g/dL,P<0.05) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (23.7±11.5 mm/h vs.10.8±3.2 mm/h,P<0.05) was observed in the silymarin group but not in the placebo group. DAI significantly decreased in the silymarin group and reached from 11.3±3.5 to 10.7±2.8 (P<0.05). Thirty-five out of 38 patients in the silymarin group were in complete remission with no flare-up after 6 months as compared to 21 out of 32 patients in the placebo group (P=0.5000).
Silymarin as a natural supplement may be used in UC patients to maintain remission.


CLINTON: [In Syria, we should work with Russia to] turn their military attention away from going after the adversaries of Assad, & put the Assad future on the political & diplomatic track.
Hillary CLINTON: The reason we are in the mess we're in, that ISIS has the territory it has, is because of Assad. We now finally have a strategy and a commitment to go after ISIS. We finally have a U.N. Security Council Resolution bringing the world together to go after a political transition in Syria. If the United States does not lead, there is not another leader. There is a vacuum. And we have to lead, if we're going to be successful.

U.S. Chamber turns its back on Bayh
The Indiana and U.S. Chambers of Commerce are endorsing GOP Rep. Todd Young over former Sen. Evan Bayh, despite the fact that he was one of the more business-friendly Democrats in the Senate.

Maureen Groppe, Star Washington Bureau Published 5:16 p.m. ET Aug. 28, 2016 | Updated 7:49 a.m. ET Aug. 29, 2016
It's official: Evan Bayh is back. The former U.S. senator from Indiana who stepped aside six years ago has announced he's running for his old Senate seat against GOP nominee Todd Young. Here's a closer look. (Dwight Adams/IndyStar)

WASHINGTON — Evan Bayh, one of the more business-friendly Democrats during his two terms in the Senate, helped the U.S. Chamber of Commerce fight government regulations after leaving office in 2011.
He also worked for a private equity firm and served on multiple corporate boards.
But now the world's largest business group wants to block Bayh from returning to the Senate.
The U.S. and Indiana chambers of commerce will be touring the state Monday to announce their support for GOP Rep. Todd Young over Bayh in Indiana's Senate race.
The group, which spent $1 million on ads to help Young win the GOP primary, is spending at least that much in statewide ads beginning Monday.
"This is a race we've been committed to from the very beginning," said Rob Engstrom, the national political director for the U.S. Chamber. "This is a restatement of that belief."
Chamber: Young has better record, greater chance of winning in fall
Asked to comment, a statement from Bayh's campaign didn't mention the business group. Instead, Bayh campaign spokesman Ben Ray criticized Young for recently accepting a campaign contribution from a United Technologies official. The company announced this year it's closing two Indiana plants and moving production to Mexico. Ray also pointed to comments Young made this summer about the need to "continue to make the argument for things like free trade."
"Congressman Young puts himself and Washington politics first, not Hoosiers," Ray said in the statement.
Young's campaign declined to comment.
Trade is becoming a lightning rod issue in this year's elections, in part because of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's criticism of the North American Free Trade Agreement and other free-trade pacts. There's also a pending free trade deal with countries mostly in the Asia-Pacific region, which would be the largest free-trade deal since NAFTA.
In the Senate, Bayh had been a longtime supporter of trade agreements before voting in 2005 against an expansion of NAFTA into five Central American countries.
After Bayh's surprise entry in the Senate race in July, the battle for the seat held by retiring GOP Sen. Dan Coats immediately became one of a handful that will determine which party controls the Senate. The chamber has gotten involved in races most likely to flip.
Engstrom and Indiana Chamber of Commerce Vice President Caryl Auslander are holding events with Young in Indianapolis, South Bend and Fort Wayne on Monday to announce their endorsement.
In 2011, the chamber hired Bayh to travel the country arguing for more checks and balances in the regulatory process.
Bruce Josten, who heads government relations for the U.S. Chamber, said at the time that Bayh was hired because of his record in the Senate and as governor.
But Engstrom said Bayh's Senate voting record was not good enough to earn the group's backing over Young. Bayh sided with the chamber on 55 percent of the votes most important to the group over his career, while Young has done so 91 percent of the time through last year.
"We bring in all kinds of people with different views," Engstrom said of Bayh's past work for the group. "There are candidates that we agree with on some issues, but in the aggregate, his voting record is reflexively liberal when it matters most. The choice is as crystal clear as they come."
During Bayh's last year in the Senate, he sided with the chamber more often than 50 other Democrats and the two independents who caucused with Democrats, backing the group on five of the 11 votes tracked in the chamber's annual scorecard. Bayh backed a compromise tax package and voted to eliminate a reporting requirement for business created by the Affordable Care Act. He opposed studying whether to impose a fee on all security-based transactions and was one of six Democrats voting with Republicans to strip the Environmental Protection Agency of its authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
The times Bayh broke with the chamber included voting for legislation intended to give women and men comparable wages by requiring employers to show that pay disparity is job-related and not based on gender. He voted for an overhaul of the nation's financial regulatory system and an overhaul of federal student loan programs. He voted to require chief executives to appear in political ads funded by their corporations. And he voted for the Obama administration's efforts to make it easier for employees at airlines and railroads to unionize.
On the 20 votes most important to the chamber last year, Young sided with the group all but four times. The chamber supported a temporary spending bill to keep the government funded, a two-year budget and debt ceiling agreement and the final version of the bill funding the government through September. Young voted against those measures.
He also opposed continuing the Export-Import Bank, which helps finance international sales by offering low-cost loans to foreign buyers or guarantees and credit insurance against potential losses.
The times Young sided with the business group last year included:
Giving the president expedited authority to negotiate trade deals and continuing assistance programs for workers displaced by trade.
Supporting repealing the estate tax and cutting taxes for medical device makers and others;
Backing the Keystone XL pipeline and an end to a decades-old ban on most exports of domestic crude oil;
Supporting a rewrite of K-12 education policy and a five-year transportation bill;
Voting for bills to place new hurdles on federal agencies before they can issue regulations and to reverse some of the regulatory requirements imposed on the financial industry in 2010.
Supporting a federal backstop for insurance claims related to terrorism acts and a bill aimed at encouraging private companies to share information with each other and with the government on computer hacking threats.
The national organization relied on its annual scorecards in making the endorsement decision while the state chamber also interviewed the candidates, according to Engstrom.
The ad the business groups will start airing Monday criticizes Bayh for voting for the Affordable Care Act.
The ad says thousands of Hoosiers could see their insurance premiums spike as much as 41 percent, citing an Associated Press article that said Indianapolis-based Anthem was seeking rate increases from nearly 20 percent to 41 percent for next year.
Most insurance companies selling Indiana plans on the "Obamacare" health exchange for people who don't get coverage through the government or an employer are seeking a rate hike. But Hoosiers could see only a small increase — or no increase — in their cost depending on whether they qualify for a federal subsidy or whether they're willing to switch insurance plans.
The health care consultancy Avalere analyzed Indiana rate filings and found a proposed average 6 percent increase for all midlevel plans in Indiana. But there was an average 1 percent decrease for the second-cheapest midlevel plan.

TeaTalk with: Amy Harding, Search, Analytics & Conversion Manager .
We sit down with Amy, a member of our Search, Analytics & Conversion team, for a cuppa and a chat. We explore what drew her to marketing, what Togetherness means to her and what she enjoys most about working at Cogent.
What inspired you to get involved in Search in particular? Was this something you always wanted to do?
It took me a while to figure out the right career for me, but I can certainly say now I have found my calling! At University I studied Business and Management, this enabled me to gain an understanding of everything from finance to web development, here I found my initial interest in digital marketing.
Social media was something that particularly piqued my interest and my creative side, this is where my career started. After working in a few social media and client relationship roles I got involved with the Search team at Cogent. I really enjoyed helping the team out and knew that this was where I wanted to take my career.
What is it that makes Cogent different to other places you have worked at?
There is a great feel about Cogent, it's welcoming, helpful, fun and there is a real sense of togetherness. Everyone at Cogent is so willing to help, a simple chat is never any trouble and that's how the great ideas start. It's different to other places I've worked because my colleagues are approachable, I enjoy coming in and I'm proud of where I work.
What's your career highlight to date, something you're proud of?
That would have to be my placement year at Aston University, it was my first proper job and I achieved so much in my time there. I worked in the International Office helping with all aspects of marketing the university to international students. My role was so varied, I created flyers to be used worldwide and recruited a team of international ambassadors to help with jobs on campus. I learned so much during that year and it set me up with so many valuable skills.
What's the best advert or piece of marketing you've ever received and why?
This is a recent campaign, but still one I think deserves merit – it also means I get to talk about one of my other passions. The Oatly "It's like milk but made for humans" campaign is so simple but so effective, with an amazing product behind it. The ads scream out at you and it's almost impossible not to read. Some say the campaign is controversial but to me it makes complete sense and explains with such simplicity why the product exists and why you should buy it. The drum explains the campaign much better than I ever could if you want to read more about it.
What does Togetherness mean to you?
Togetherness means working towards a common goal, Cogent has got that attitude and it's brilliant!
Getting a new campaign off the ground and seeing instant results is what I enjoy most about my role. After spending time planning a campaign, doing the research and perfecting the ads and targeting it's great when it all comes together. But that's not where the fun stops, seeing the campaign improve week on week based on the refinements and changes we make is also really rewarding.
That's all from Amy. Keep an eye out for next month's TeaTalk where we'll be sitting down with another member of the Cogent family.

Hello! My name isVinoand I would love to meet you!
I have so much to say, where do I start?? Well I guess I'll just start with that! I LOVE to talk. I have so many stories to tell, oh and sometimes I like to sing them. I'll also tell you when I'm happy, sad, excited, or hungry! Let's just say we never have to worry about miscommunication. Because of my constant urge to share all my thoughts, it'd probably be best if we live in a house instead of an apartment. I'm looking for a home with a good listener (obviously), a cuddler, and the cherry on top would be if they also know how to work with dogs that don't prefer to share their things. Cats out of the bag… yes I'm not the best sharer (is that a word?) but I do get along with most dogs, most of the time. And I'm working on that more and more each day. I am very affectionate and I walk really well on leash. Like, really well. You'll just have to come see it to believe it! Please put an application in to meet me and I'll tell you more… yes there's more!
Interactions with Humans: Good and I love attention!

Meek Mill's profound BET performance spotlights police violence
Posted June 24, 2018 10:54 p.m. EDT
By Sandra Gonzalez (CNN)
(CNN) — Just weeks out of prison, Meek Mill debuted a song that delivered a blistering criticism of the criminal justice system at the BET Awards on Sunday night.
The song, titled "Stay Woke," which features Miguel, is the rapper's first new music since his release.
At the start of the performance, Meek Mill stood on a stage set up as a street corner, with neighbors milling about and children playing. As the performance and the action on stage began to build, a gaggle of performers dressed as police ran out and began arresting people.
At one point in the performance, a young black child enacted being shot in the scuffle as her grieving mother wailed on stage.
In the song, Meek Mill, who wore a sweatshirt that honored late rappers XXXTentacion and Jimmy Wopo on stage, weaves his own story with larger points about police violence.
"How can I pledge allegiance to the flag, when they killing all our sons, all our dads? I come from a place where you kill your own brother, you can brag," he says.
At the end of the performance, Meek Mill was joined on stage by men wearing prison uniforms behind bars.
Meek Mill's performance earned him a standing ovation from some in the audience, as well as a virtual standing-O on social media.
"So happy & proud of my brother @MeekMill," wrote Kevin Hart, who introduced Meek Mill's performance, on Twitter. "Great performance...Great message."
Mill was released from prison in late April after spending nearly five months incarcerated in a controversial sentence related to a probation violation.
After his release, Mill thanked "all my public advocates for their love, support and encouragement during this difficult time," in a statement.

Justin Taylor is the editor of The Apocalypse Reader and Come Back, Donald Barthelme.
Not to boast, but I'm a fairly voracious reader, and I like to have a few things going at once. At least one novel and one poetry collection at any given time, plus usually a story collection and some nonfiction. I just got back this week from a three-weeks trip to Hong Kong, and when I was preparing to take that trip I had to make some hard decisions about what to bring. I decided to bring three short books, one medium book, and one long book, and to only dive into the long one after I'd knocked out two of the three shorts. The short books were Vertigo by W.G. Sebald, Fear and Trembling by Søren Kierkegaard, and Master of Reality by John Darnielle. Sebald is one of my favorite writers. Vertigo wasn't great, at least not compared to his other books, at least two of which are bar-none masterpieces (those would be The Rings of Saturn, and The Emigrants), but because he left behind such a small body of work, it felt good to me just to be able to immerse myself in his voice. It was also interesting to see his style in its early, awkward phase; most of his work is totally seamless but in Vertigo you can tell that he's sort of figuring it out as he goes along. John Darnielle's novel, Master of Reality, is about the Black Sabbath album of the same name. I'm interviewing Darnielle--who you might know better as the band The Mountain Goats--for my books column in FLAUNT, so I'll save my raves about it for said column in the June/July issue of the magazine. The Kierkegaard was a much less difficult read than other stuff of his I've attempted (namely, Training in Christianity, at which I failed utterly). Fear and Trembling made me want to try again. I think I'm falling in love with K a little.
The medium book was Our Story Begins: New and Selected Stories by Tobias Wolff. I've been dipping in and out of it. The prose isn't quite as strong as I thought it would be, and his endings are a little beat-you-on-the-head, but the stories take surprising, sometimes fascinating turns so I think I'll eventually make it through the whole thing. The long book was Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens. As of this writing, I'm only about a quarter through it, but with Dickens it's pretty hard to go wrong, and I love knowing that the book will be in my life for a while. It came highly recommended to me from David Gates, who is the guy who turned me onto Dickens in the first place, so I went all over town to find a Modern Library edition with his introduction.
Given that I started out by claiming that I'm "always" reading at least one poetry book, it might have seemed odd to you that there was no poetry in that very long list I just made. Well, what happened was I had just finished Ashbery's newest (A Worldly Country) before I left, and didn't have anything else on hand, so I figured I'd just find an English-language bookstore when I got to Hong Kong and buy a book of poems there. As it turns out, you basically can't buy a book of poems in Hong Kong. There are English-language bookstores, and English-language shelves in most of the Chinese bookstores, but 95% of what they stock is strictly commercial (ie Dean Koontz, Robert Ludlum, etc) and the literature shelf is a weird hodgepodge of Penguin Classics, cheesy anthologies, and Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. In one store there was one single sad shelf devoted to the franken-category of "essays, short fiction, and poetry"-- which turned out to contain two David Sedaris collections, The Selected Poems of R.A. Tagore, and Samuel Beckett's novel--novel!--How It Is. I was seriously tempted by the Tagore, but in the end decided to pass. Now that I'm home, and more or less over the jetlag hump, I want to go out to St. Mark's Bookshop tomorrow and spend some time discovering things. My friend Mike Young, who edits NOÖ Journal, recently recommended the poet Christian Barter, and the other night I saw Graham Foust hold his own at a reading where he had to follow the incomparable Anne Carson, so he's somebody I'd like to know more about. About a month ago, on a whim, I bought a $2 used copy of Gerard Manley Hopkins' Selected Poetry and Prose. I keep thinking I'll want to start it, but so far I haven't. Part of me thinks I'm ready to take Hopkins on, but the other part of me thinks I'd rather re-read Tao Lin's new collection, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and maybe something else by John Ashbery. I've always been curious about Hotel Lautreamont, though if I do that won't I be pretty much obliged to read Lautreamont himself? And is that really such a problem?

RNC Resolution On Hate Groups Has Nothing To Do With 'Rejecting Hate Groups'
Robyn Pennacchia
One might think that given the past four years, given Charlottesville, given the increase in far-right hate groups not seen since before the Oklahoma City bombing, hate crimes hitting a 16-year-high, that — simply for the sake of keeping up appearances — any RNC resolution having to do with hate groups would be something along the lines of "hate groups are bad."
But we're not living in dogwhistle times. Those days are over. There is no reason to keep up appearances or to do the plausible deniability shuffle, because they know they can get elected without them.
So rather than denouncing hate groups, the resolution approved by the RNC is about opposing the Southern Poverty Law Center's identification of hate groups, due to SPLC's insistence upon designating right-wing hate groups as hate groups.
WHEREAS, The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a far-left organization with an obvious bias;
WHEREAS, The SPLC makes a practice of incorrectly labeling persons and organizations as "hate groups";
WHEREAS, The actions of the SPLC have served to mobilize persons to act in hate and violence towards those on its "hate group" list;
WHEREAS, The Family Research Council suffered a violent attack due to its support of the traditional family, which the SPLC has deemed as hateful;
WHEREAS, The Obama Administration legitimized the SPLC and acted upon their request that the federal government formally identify individuals and organizations as "hate groups;";
WHEREAS, The SPLC was further legitimized when the Obama-Biden Administration gave them the ability to provide input to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); and
WHEREAS, Legitimizing the SPLC puts conservative groups or voices at risk of attack; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the SPLC is a radical organization, and that the federal government should not view this organization as a legitimate foundation equipped to provide actionable information to DHS or any other government agency.
Let's unpack this, shall we?
Not to excuse the actions of Floyd Corkins — which perhaps could have been prevented with stricter gun control laws — but no one really needed the Southern Poverty Law Center to tell them the Family Research Council was an anti-gay hate group. Surely, the fact that they have spent decades saying horrible things about LGBTQ people all of the time and opposing equal rights for LGBTQ people would have tipped someone off. They weren't even officially designated as an anti-gay hate group by the SPLC until 2012, well after they were widely known as an organization opposing rights for LGBTQ people.
If one goes to the Family Research Center page on the Southern Poverty Law Center site, one does not see an explanation along the lines of "because we say so." One will simply see a variety of quotes from FRC President Tony Perkins and other members of the organization, in which they insist LGBTQ people are evil pedophiles who want to take their religion away, take their marriages away and also ruin the United States military. You will see a collection of hateful statements.
"One of the primary goals of the homosexual rights movement is to abolish all age of consent laws and to eventually recognize pedophiles as the 'prophets' of a new sexual order." — FRC publication, "Homosexual Behavior and Pedophilia," Robert Knight and Frank York, 1999
"[W]elcoming open homosexuality in the military would clearly damage the readiness and effectiveness of the force – in part because it would increase the already serious problem of homosexual assault in the military." — Peter Sprigg, "Homosexual Assault in the Military," 2010
"Those who understand the homosexual community — the activists — they're very aggressive, they're — everything they accuse us of they are in triplicate. They're intolerant, they're hateful, vile, they're spiteful. .... To me, that is the height of hatred, to be silent when we know there are individuals that are engaged in activity, behavior, and an agenda that will destroy them and our nation." — Tony Perkins, speaking to the Oak Initiative Summit, April 2011
Oh yeah, who could possibly have figured out that this is a group that hates gay people without the help of the Southern Poverty Law Center!
Describing "calling gay people pedophiles" as "supporting the traditional family" is quite a stretch. Surely, one can go and have a "traditional family" without needing to go and do that.
It is also quite a stretch to use one casualty-free incident in the entire 50-year history of the Southern Poverty Law Center to attempt to link the SPLC to extremism and terrorism or claim that it is a "radical organization." We would be here all day were I to start listing the number of acts of terrorism linked to mainstream right-wing ideology. Acts of terrorism that did, in fact, result in people dying.
That the "The SPLC is illegitimate because it is biased against conservatives" talking point made it into an RNC resolution is not particularly surprising. It's become pervasive over the last few years, most recently culminating in outrage over Chick-fil-A having donated to the organization.
If true, @ChickfilA has badly lost its way. Millions of Christians have been proud of ChickFilA's courageous stands… https://t.co/jxL37vw0kB
— Ted Cruz (@Ted Cruz) 1574907994.0
If you'll notice, they've done the same thing with Snopes. It doesn't matter what the actual facts are, but they will repeatedly say "The SPLC is illegitimate" or "Snopes is illegitimate," pretty much until people give up and stop using them as resources.
The SPLC has issued a statement responding to the resolution, noting that its obvious purpose was to protect Trump and other Republicans from being criticized for hanging out with hate groups.
This Republican National Committee's resolution is an attack on the SPLC's definition of hate groups in order to excuse the Trump administration's history of working with individuals and organizations that malign entire groups of people — such as Black Lives Matter advocates, immigrants, Muslims and the LGBTQ community — with dehumanizing rhetoric.
While the Republican Party approved this resolution, notably, it did not denounce organizations that promote antisemitism, Islamophobia, neo-Nazis, anti-LGBT sentiment or racism. It only criticized the SPLC for challenging hate groups that have found a place in the Republican Party.
But again, it's not like people would not notice that Trump and Republicans were hanging out with bigots if the SPLC did not officially designate them as bigots. That's not how anything works.
From the moment that Donald Trump ran for president, he welcomed the support of hate groups like the Family Research Council and the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). Once in office, Trump actively hired and consulted alumni and allies from FAIR, an anti-immigrant hate group that has ties to white supremacist groups and eugenicists. They include Julie Kirchner, Kris Kobach, Jeff Sessions, and most notably Stephen Miller.
This is not a chicken-and-the-egg situation. These people and groups were hateful before being designated as such by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and they would be hateful without such a designation. The problem isn't that they've been "designated" as hateful, but that they are, in fact, hateful.

Too many SOQL queries: 101 even when using testSetup « .ultrageek.
I am a huge fan of creating global test classes within Salesforce that leverage one testSetup section to set up the data that then can be used many times to test the many different methods and classes. Gone are the days of having a million test classes to manage and update every time changes are made in the system. I've been using this for over a year and as my classes have continued to grow in size and complexity I have run against one limitation that I was unaware of until recently. DML limits are reset when using testSetup but not SOQL limits. Specifically if when you insert a record if that DML generates SOQL statements, which I have a lot of code that relates and joins data, that limit is passed on to the test methods. I think because my test classes are segmented in to major functions I was not running in to a lot of overlap.
In reading the below StackExchange answer it is clear now that all of my test methods need to use Test.startTest() and Test.stopTest(). I always use these methods for scheduled or future class testing but now it is clear that I should be more diligent in always using them.
NOTE: If your org has events that are triggered from that INSERT (which you likely do), THEN any DML or SOQL statement that proceeds from those are considered outside the context of @testSetup and will impact your overall governing limits for your test class.
As always these limits are reset within any test method when you invoke Test.startTest(); and Test.stopTest(); but this could affect how much data you can setup within your data setup method (for example when cascading dependencies like Contacts, which need Accounts).

Purim, for those that do not know, is graphically rich, filled with characters of all types and levels and written up in a movie script of a plot that occurred over 2,400 years ago. This year it falls on Sunday. Normally the fast is the day before but since we don't fast on Shabbat or the day before it, the fast ends up being on Thursday, as it is this year.
The story has Villains, Heroes, Kings and Queens, Women of Leadership, Harems, 6 month log parties and the Gallow's Poles..in short it's an excellent adventure which only partially explains the joy it brings to everyone.
Every child, even my 3 year old, can tell you the basic story and we remember it forever.
King Achashveros has Queen Vashti, kills her, needs new one, finds one that is Jewish named Hadassah but she is called Esther, takes her to the palace. King's right hand man, Haman gets into an argument with Mordechai, Jewish and Esther's Uncle and also a King adviser. Haman gets mad, decides to kill the Jews after discussing with his wife. Convinces the King to listen to him. Mordechai and Esther create a plan to stop the action which involves every one in Shushan to fast and pray for 3 days before Esther tries to convince the King to rescind the order. Naturally she does, Haman is thwarted and hung, along with his 10 sons on a set of Gallow's Poles. Mordechai becomes the King's right hand man and all is good again.
One thing to know, you will not find God's name anywhere in the Book of Purim.
Coupled with the holiday are a handful of requirements that everyone must fulfill on THE day of Purim.
2)Mishloach Manot - Sending of a Gift to a friend (Usually 2 different types of food items that require different blessings.
3) Listening to the Megillah being read - We read it twice, once in the evening then once the next morning.
4) Purim Seudah - The Feast, what you expected a Jewish holiday without food?
So we fast and pray and ask that God protect us from the evil that people can perpetuate against each other. While Haman was from the tribal clan of Amalek, the Rabbis over the years took that any group that tries to destroy the Jewish people is from Amalek.
This Shabbat, we read a section of the Torah that every Jew must here, known as Parshat Zachor, it is a short, 8 lines, from Exodus 17:8-16 that reminds everyone of the cowardly ways evil can work, namely by attacking women and children first.
Before you leave this post and think it is all historical, last Friday night, as Shabbat had started, a terrible tragedy occurred in a town called Itamar in Israel. A family of 8 lost their parents and 3 siblings(ages 11, 3 and 3 months) because someone came into their home, slit their throats and stab them repeatedly (the link contains graphic pictures) because they were Jews.
It is said in the Talmud Shavuot 39a: Kol Yisrael arevim zeh ba zeh. "All Israel is responsible each for the other." With that in mind, our synagogue, will have a memorial service for the Fogel family tonight.
Keith, thanks for putting your faith out there for all to see. In the Christian faith, we use the story of Esther to encourage young women in particular to stand up for what is right (although many other great sermons can be derived from this rich book - particularly the peril of trying to work against God's chosen people).
Thank you too for mentioning the tragedy that took place this past weekend. Though incomparable in scale to the events in Japan, it by far overwhelms with the sheer malice of it. We will also be offering prayers for this family and the Jewish people - all the more as tensions increase in the mid-east.
The funny thing is Vashti is truly the upright woman in many ways and the ONLY one to say no to the king, yet Esther gets all the benefit of history.
But yes, the Megilla is full of insights from a religious view as well as from a business view.
No question on a global scale Japan takes precedence, but this event was almost ignored by so many countries.
Thank you for your prayers and wishes.
Shalom my brother. Thank you for reminding me of the story. It has been a long time since I read that one.

Development of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) Instrument
by Ron D. Hays, Joel Kallich, Donna Mapes, Stephen Coons, William B. Carter
Kidney Diseases
This paper describes the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) Instrument (dialysis version), a self-report measure that includes a 36-item health survey as the generic core, supplemented with multi-item scales targeted at particular concerns of individuals with kidney disease and on dialysis (symptom/problems, effects of kidney disease on daily life, burden of kidney disease, cognitive function, work status, sexual function, quality of social interaction, sleep). Also included were multi-item measures of social support, dialysis staff encouragement and patient satisfaction, and a single-item overall rating of health. The KDQOL was administered to 165 individuals with kidney disease (52 percent female, 48 percent male, 47 percent White, 27 percent African-American, 11 percent Hispanic, 8 percent Asian, 4 percent Native American, and 3 percent other ethnicities), sampled from nine different outpatient dialysis centers located in Southern California, the Northwest, and the Midwest. The average age of the sample was 53 years (range from 22 to 87), and 10 percent were 75 years or older. Internal consistency reliability estimates for the 19 multi-item scales exceeded 0.75 for every measure except one. The mean scores for individuals in this sample on the 36-item health scales were lower than the general population by one-quarter (emotional well-being) to a full standard deviation (physical function, role limitations due to physical health, general health), but similar to scores for dialysis patients in other studies. Correlations of the KDQOL scales with number of hospital days in the last 6 months were statistically significant (p < 0.05) for 14 of the 19 scales and number of medications currently being taken for nine of the scales. Results of this study provide support for the reliability and validity of the KDQOL.

I've been pretty critical of Dungeons and Dragons lately. In blog posts, on message boards, in heated discussions with friends. I played DnD almost exclusively for twenty years. I ran a Dragonlance campaign that spanned four of those and a homebrew campaign that ran over a decade. ADnD, second edition, and finally ending with 3.5.
I tweaked rules, tossed out annoying ones, made on-the-fly decisions to keep games running. Eventually, I hit a wall. Rules fatigue set in. I tried for months to craft my own version of a system I'd first bought as a kid doing door-to-door sales to earn the red-box Basic set. Pathfinder, for me, fixed many of the issues I had with 3.5 but introduced a new set of problems. I wanted something cleaner.
Classes? So passe. Attribute checks? Saving Throws? Seriously, pick one. Pages and pages of spells with increasingly complicated descriptions? Too much. Alignments? C'mon.
But all the way home from my gaming session, I kept coming back to one thing – I had missed it.
Twelve players crowded the table. Ages ranged from tweens to some that had a few years even on me. Many of the younger kids were there with their parents – a new generation brought in by the old. All of them were there to craft a story.
Watching the cleric huddled over her player's handbook, flipping through those overly complicated spells with a sense of wonder and discovery. The party waiting with baited breath to see how the paladin (me) would react when my Detect Evil caught an aura of some strange symbiotic artifact attached to the sorceress' arm. Feeling for the DM as he juggled a dozen players all running separate directions around the city like kids on a playground.
It was messy. Crazy. Hectic. And damn fun.
Sure, call it nostalgia. One of the players even felt the need to tell me "you came on a good night." (I know what those bad nights at the gaming table are like.) But that diverse group, veteran players and new. Young and old. Everyone sharing a make believe world and making the story distinctively theirs. Somehow that clunky rules system provided the glue for a fantastical experience.
It's where I came from. Where my own narrative began. It embodies what I want to do with my fiction – speaking to the old souls and young at heart. It was a joy to go back and see others getting so excited about a hobby that transcends all the "fixes" that have been applied over the years.
