Thinking about how to turn your rc boat into a boat you can catch fish with?
There are alot of rc boats out there and using one for catching fish sure sounds like a blast! Maybe you already have a rc boat lying around, and don't want to go out and buy one of those remote control fishing boats, right? Seen those rc fishing boats out there but don't want to invest that kind of money?
Anyone that has a remote control boat finally has a way to turn it into a RC Fishing Boat! Instead of rigging a contraption on your rc boat, and ruining the boat Fish Fun Co. found a great way!
It's called "The RC Fishing Pole", in less than five minutes you're ready for rc fishing adventure! Fish Fun says you don't need any tools, screws or glue to attach it, and it's so easy to put on. A great feature about "The RC Fishing Pole" is it will attach to "Any" R/C Boat!
It's a RC Fishing kit!
Fish Fun Co. says it comes complete with line release pads for driving your line out as far as your boat can go! Instead of casting use the line release and drop the line at your favorite fishing spot! Another cool feature is a peice of fishing line with hook and bobber is included in case you want to use the rc boat for fishing with the line directly attached to the boat! And "The RC Fishing Pole" disconnects from your rc boat when your done fishing. For 20 bucks how can you go wrong?
Welcome to the New World of Fishing with Remote Control Boats!

Q: Using a more OOP method instead of switch statements for SOAP web service calls I'm trying to figure out if there is a better way to accomplish what I have below.
We have multiple(12) SOAP web services all from the same vendor. So all the calls are the same (ex. getclaim(), editclaim(), addclaim(), etc, etc)
ex. of two web service urls

https://trustonline.delawarecpf.com/tows/webservicefk.svc
https://trustonline.delawarecpf.com/tows/webservicepcc.svc

But we have all of the ws calls in separate files (super redundant), one for each web service.
So I'm trying to figure out how to combine them into a single file.
I think can do something like this below, where I have a switch or if statement that determines the web service and the User object from each service, but this seems a little non obj oriented, so I'm looking to see if there is a better way?
Here is what I'm currently doing, but looking for a better way.
    // initializing the web services and fetching some data at the end
    public void InitWebService(string webserviceUrl, int webServiceType)
    {
        BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport);
        EndpointAddress endpoint = new EndpointAddress(webserviceUrl);

        ChannelFactory channelFactory = null;
        switch(webServiceType)
        {
            case 1:
                channelFactory = new ChannelFactory<WebServiceAWI>(binding, endpoint);
                break;
            case 2:
                channelFactory = new ChannelFactory<WebServiceBG>(binding, endpoint);
                break;
            etc.
        }

        var webservice = channelFactory.CreateChannel();
        var user = null; // CAN'T HAVE NULL HERE
        switch(webServiceType)
        {
            case 1:
                user = WebservicereferenceA.User();
                break;
            case 2:
                user = WebserviceReferenceB.User();
                break;
            etc.
        }

        user.UserName = webservice.EncryptValue("someone");
        user.Password = webservice.EncryptValue("password");

        // get some data
        var result = webservice.AttorneysGet(user);
    }

A: If you're going to be using that logic a lot, you may as well put it into another factory and call on that instead.
I'd probably consider changing the int up for an enum. Something like:
public enum ServiceType
{
    A,
    B
}

public class ServiceFactory
{
    public ChannelFactory CreateChannelFactory(ServiceType type, BasicHttpBinding binding, EndpointAddress endpoint)
    {
        switch(type)
        {
            case ServiceType.A:
                return new ChannelFactory<WebServiceAWI>(binding, endpoint);
            case ServiceType.B:
                return new ChannelFactory<WebServiceBG>(binding, endpoint);
            default:
                throw new NotSupportedException();
        }
    }
}

Countdown to the end of Democracy in the UK 23:28 - Nov 10 with 875589 views pikeypaul
And like a typical anti democracy remoaner he decided the will of the people should be ignored the minute the democratic result was in total fecking hypocrite 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Despite it being voted in to law by the commons the spineless two faced remoaner MPs have totally abandoned any morals and decided to ignore the will of the British people.
It will be remembered and no election or referendum will ever be the same again in this country.
The one thing that will come is a massive surge in the popularity of UKIP or a similar party in the future who stand for the 52%.

The ruling would not have been made if it was deemed frivolous at best.
Not convinced by that, but...
Remind me what the rebate figure was, can't remember - around 50-100m? Say 100m then. The case then revolves around "oh, people voted leave because they objected to 350m going to EU but would've been happy with 250m going there and would have voted Remain probably".
I'd suggest there were far bigger lies, for example Osborne's gloomy predictions would spook the markets, affecting the economy etc. I'd say that was more serious imo.
Regardless, can't see anything of note happening other than it being manna from heaven for BoJo; it'll be spun into "Remoaners trying dirty tricks to prevent Leave" bolstering his support.
Still leaning towards Mordaunt.

It will be interesting to see how Mr Johnsons case plays out, the authorities seem to allow a lot to go against the yes campaign in Scotland and as a consequence seemed to do nothing against the leave campaign perhaps fearing the Scots might accuse the authorities and state of double standards, but now a private individual has taken on Mr Johnson, is he guilty as charged ?, will some kind of technicality come into play ?

Personally, I think politicians and others in public office are accountable and when they transgress they should be held to account. I haven't followed this particular story very closely, but if he's been warned by the ONS and continued regardless then he's only got himself to blame.

Bollcks. A lot of people vote for a party trusting its manifesto. You'd think though that Nick Clegg broke that ideal as one poster has already mentioned.
Countdown to the end of Democracy in the UK on 19:49 - May 29 by Luther27
Nick Clegg never formed a government to implement it.
Don't get me wrong - no time for him whatsoever.
No keeping your word is clear cut, getting the numbers wrong could be an error although not in this case.

Yes he did, he opted to go into coalition with the Tories, he could have turned them down because he did not want to break a promise.

The allegation is that Johnson knowingly lied.
As Alan Sugar has said, if you do this as a businessman you can go to jail.
Thats clearly different for making a manifesto commitment and then failing to honour it.
I suppose .... unless you knowingly make a commitment that you already know cannot be delivered.

I can't stand BJ...but I can see this turning into a right sht fest now the courts are involved in Politics and the truth.
Sorry - are you suggesting that the gov of the B of E made predictions that he already knew to be incorrect ? Shirley not ?
He just got his prediction wrong (maybe?).
He along with the Chancellor of the day painted a picture of the sky falling in if the UK voted to leave. That hit the markets a damn site more than anything the buffoon Johnston said.

Again, the gross amount was £361m. Net after rebate was lower. It's sophistry - if BoJo was convicted then based upon that, there would be 2 MPs left.
Now, explain to me why BoJo is the sole person being persued in this case and not members of Vote Leave who came up with the bus message, who agreed with the bus message and repeated the bus message?
"Your honour, the defendant clearly kicked the victim. Yes, others also gave the victim a kicking and we have plenty of evidence of them doing so but we're not interested in prosecuting them because we like them more than the defendant".
The case is legally and morally bankrupt due to the complainant / prosecutor having a clear biased agenda.
And no, I'm not a fan of BoJo. Think he'd be a crap PM.
[Post edited 29 May 19:12]
That basically is an admission of guilt and would result in conviction 100% of times.
The court is concerned with the guilt or innocence of the defendant in front of it. And not with the actions of others who are not on trial. That is,exactly as it should be, otherwise the rule of law breaks down.
If you do not understand why your argument is legally and morally bankrupt , you are a contributor to the problems afflicting the UK.

One thought. I can't remember a figure any side could agree on as to how much EU membership actually costs. So if The Buffoon actually goes to trial am I right in thinking that the true figure will have to be presented before the court?

Interesting stuff in there.
One thing that jumps out is that the regional, structural payments made by the EU back to the UK are a tiny fraction of our gross and net contributions to the EU, at just E650m a year.
So, the arguments about Wales self-harming by voting for Brexit and missing out on all this EU funding is not as bad as it seems. It works out at about 3 weeks of our EU contributions (even at the lower EUR200m a week, rather than GBP350m a week), and remember that total regional spend is shared with the whole of the UK.
I thought it would have been much higher than that for the level of angst we hear, so thanks for sharing.

Duh, of course it does.
It also, since you missed the point, rightly brings into question the conduct and motivation of the prosecutor, does it not?
You know full well this is nothing more than a politically motivated "Stop Boris" case and should be viewed in that manner. Gove and Stuart were both chair of the Vote Leave campaign. Only an idiot would believe the whole figure / bus issue was solely down to Boris.
Thanks for that. As Wobbly said it's a very very interesting read.
The conduct of the prosecutor is irrelevant to the guilt or innocence of the defendant
The motivation of the prosecutor is to hold to account those in public office who wilfully make false statements for political gain.
If that makes it politically motivated, so be it.
Countdown to the end of Democracy in the UK on 03:01 - May 30 by wobbly
Yeah, it's not massive in the grand scheme of things (neither is the UK's contribution). Wales gets about half of that, which has been about £2b over the current 6-year funding cycle.
I think the thing people worry about is whether that's going to replaced by an extra £330m a year from Westminster to be spent on social, infrastructure & competitiveness programmes in West Wales and the Valleys. Also, the value to us is worth more than simply the cost at the end of the day, as much of the spend generates additional investment and/or has a legacy.
[Post edited 30 May 9:12]
* Bangs head *
The motivation of the prosecutor in this instance is to SELECTIVELY hold to account yadda yadda.
Gove made same comment, Stuart made same comment. Vote Leave as an organisation came out with the figure - board and committee determining strategy both feature many MP.
If you want to hold those in public office to account, then you lack any semblance of moral high ground if you deliberately ignore others.

Your argument is again morally and legally bankrupt and is an admission Johnson is guilty. If Johnson wants to implicate others to mitigate his guilt, let him do so. Wouldn't that be interesting.
The prosecutor has made a decision to go after Johnson first, because they believe they have the evidence required, particularly in relation to him continuing to use the figure after being told not to.
Who is to say prosecutions against others won't follow. Where will it end?
Hopefully, with honest politicians.

Q: the correct usage of "the" I've spent years in the States and I'm still confused when I should use "the" in sentences.
These are the cases that I know that I have to use a definite article.
case 1: refer to specific objects. he was working at the firm where his colleagues were friendly.
case 2: refer to unique objects. The earth is a planet.
case 3: general statements The human is a foolish species.
What I'm the most confused about are the situations where "the" makes a difference in meanings. For example, I went to the college means I was physically present at the college, and I went to college means I finished a degree.
Using a definite article is very confusing to me. There seem to be many exceptions and special rules, and also idiomatic ways of using and not using a definite article.
Could someone kindly clarify the usage of "the" for me?

A: When you say 'I went to the college' as you stated in your question it refers to a specific object.
However 'college' in general is an international institution. They are not run by one person but they all share the same goals and many even share research and resources. So someone might ask 'Did you go to college?' which is a short way of saying 'Did you ever attend a college for academic studies?' without having to state what college you actually attended. Sometimes you don't need to know what college they went to, just that they went in general which tells you what you need to know (if are they are educated).
Example
A Surgeon - 'I was in surgery'
A missing child - 'I was in the surgery'

If a surgeon says 'I was in surgery' it means he was performing an operation. If he says 'I was in the surgery' he is telling you that he was simply there but not during an operation.
Referring to your question example, imagine there are two police officers that talk to kids about drugs. On Monday they will be visiting two high schools and a college. You could ask them 'did you go to the college?' and if they had already been to the college they would reply yes.
On the same day, if you asked them 'did you go to college?' they would probably try to clarify your English and say something like 'Did I go to the college?' with a puzzled look on their face. This is because what you have asked them is 'Did you ever attend a college for studies'
I can see that this can be very confusing for people learning English and I hope my explanation makes sense to you :)

A:
For example, I went to the college means I was physically present at
  the college, and I went to college means I finished a degree.

The first example I went to the college, means someone went to a particular college. In that case it would be necessary to mention which particular college is being referred to. Otherwise that example would make no sense.
The second example is in a general sense. It means that someone has attended a college but, is not mentioning which one in particular. It does not have to mean that someone finished a degree. That seems strange because in this part of the world at least, because degrees are not done in colleges. They are done in universities.
These examples demonstrate the difference between referring to something in particular and something in general.

Are Therapeutic Staffing Models benefiting Mental Health Nurses?
Cath Coleman describes her experience working with the Therapeutic Staffing Model, and explains how it's beneficial to both Mental Health Nurses and patients.
Returning from working in Australia for ten years, I knew there would be many changes to the NHS wards I first worked in as a Mental Health Nurse (RMN).
Closures of several wards and centralisation of mental health services in my area left the remaining wards under increasing pressure for beds, and services were stretched.
Back in England, I found a new way of staffing the wards that provided the patients with better care and an improved outlook for their recovery.
The Therapeutic Staffing Model was implemented in the Mental Health Trust where I began working. This model moved away from shifts run by an RMN, supported by Healthcare Assistants (HCA) working a 24-hour roster, with allied health professionals working only 9-5 on weekdays.
Recognising that patients need therapeutic input into the evening and at weekends, the allied health staff, such as Occupational Therapists (OT) and Psychologists also work on a roster. This allows evening and weekend groups and activities that would previously only take place weekdays, 9-5.
The ward roster included RMNs, HCAs, OTs, and Psychologists, and the whole team were involved in planning activities so each professional could take part in different groups.
The rationale behind this is an improvement in patient-focused care planning with a multi-disciplinary approach that allows the patients to play an active role in their recovery and discharge from hospital.
Having OTs and psychologists available seven days a week allows nursing staff to focus on nursing roles, such as medication, care planning, and risk assessment, while the HCAs can support the RMNs.
There is often some overlap between the roles when nurses get involved in group activities, or the OT develops a care plan with a patient, but this just reinforces the effectiveness of the team working together for the patients' wellbeing.
There are some downsides, mainly that groups are sometimes unable to go ahead due to high acuity on the ward and the allied health staff would assist the nurses and HCAs with more mundane tasks.
Staff sometimes complained that their skills were not being fully utilised, and were instead serving lunches or calling patients for medication.
Despite this, I felt this staffing model was proactive and beneficial for patients who have been admitted to an acute inpatient ward and in need of support from a variety of professionals.
By providing therapies on the ward, patients are recovering faster and being discharged home, reducing the pressure on beds.


Barry-based tanker specialist PM Rees & Sons has taken delivery of its first ever Iveco heavy trucks, supplied by Glenside Commercials, which took over the Iveco sales franchise for South East Wales in April 2013.
The company's order for three Stralis Hi-Road AT440S46TX/P high-roof tractor units follows Managing Director Peter Rees' first glimpse of the new Stralis range at the CV Show in 2013, and the appointment of Glenside Commercials to represent the Iveco brand locally.
"We visited the Iveco stand and we liked what we saw," he says. "We'd previously been a two-marque fleet but we've been gradually replacing one of the brands due to recurrent engine problems. It left an opening for another truck manufacturer and the Stralis Hi-Road appears a strong contender. We're looking forward to putting the new Ivecos through their paces and seeing how they perform.
Built at Iveco's European heavy truck factory in Madrid, the Stralis Hi-Roads will operate at up to 44 tonnes with a mix of chemical tanker trailers, as well as with skeletal trailers carrying either tank containers or regular ISO containers for general haulage. The vehicles join a fleet of approximately 50 trucks and will operate nationwide, as well as occasional European work.
Expected to cover up to 125,000 km in their first year, the Iveco trio will remain on the fleet for four years and have each been built to full ADR-specifications.
The new Stralis Hi-Road cab is purpose-designed for distribution and fleet operations as well as medium to long-haul missions, and combines sleek aerodynamics, a modern cab and the latest technology to help operators reduce running costs and enhance the on-board package for drivers.
Each Stralis is powered by an EEV-rated FPT Industrial 10.3 litre Cursor 10 engine, which is capable of producing up to 460 hp between 1,550 and 2,100 rev/min, plus 2,100 Nm of torque between 1,050 and 1,550 rev/min, driven through a EuroTronic automated transmission.
Established in 1977, PM Rees & Sons' tanker expertise extends to operating its own SQAS-accredited three-bay Tankwash on-site in Barry, where the Stralis tractors will be based.


One never talks to the press, and the other threatens not to but can't quite stop. One works exclusively in his socks and eats only fried food, and the other is a rogue and a connoisseur. One builds a campaign around a single, simple slogan and the other is the master of a million nuanced insinuations.
And in the last week of the New York governor's race, the strategists for the two main candidates are as different as the television commercials they have devised for their clients. For George E. Pataki there is the reclusive Arthur Finkelstein, and for Mario M. Cuomo the unavoidable David Garth.
Mr. Pataki, on the defensive after riding high for months on anti-Cuomo sentiment, is on a final, furious counterattack, accusing the Governor of trying to "buy this election" with cynical deals. Mr. Cuomo, having reaped the effect of his ads' mordant depictions of Mr. Pataki as a hand-held instrument of Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato, is mostly upbeat, with commercials featuring endorsements from figures as diverse as Bill Clinton and Lee Iacocca and his own thoughts on the future.
Campaigns are won or lost by candidates, but countless aspects of this one bear the stamp of the consultants, from Mr. Pataki's steadfast reluctance to say too much about himself to Mr. Cuomo's feisty new alliance with Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, another Garth client. For good or ill, Mr. Pataki's campaign is almost entirely a creation of Mr. Finkelstein, while Mr. Garth's role is much more complex.
"Finkelstein is the ultimate sort of Dr. Strangelove, who believes you can largely disregard what the politicians are going to say and do, what the newspapers are going to do, and create a simple and clear and often negative message, which, repeated often enough, can bring you to victory," said Philip Friedman, a Manhattan consultant who got his start working for Mr. Garth.
"Garth believes that if you're too negative, people will blame you; if the press doesn't give you a fair shake, you can't win no matter how good your ads are, and -- particularly in New York -- if you don't have a message that is sophisticated and complex, people won't take you seriously."
Mr. Cuomo was a famous figure long before he hooked up with Mr. Garth last winter, though his experience of campaigning was deeply influenced by a loss to another Garth client, Edward I. Koch (for mayor in 1977), and a victory over the same man (for Governor in 1982). In the 1977 race, Mr. Cuomo taunted, "What hath Garth wrought?"
By contrast, four-fifths of voters say they still do not know enough about Mr. Pataki, a freshman State Senator from Putnam County, to judge whether he would be a good governor, for all the millions Mr. Finkelstein has spent to argue that it is "time for a change."
Not that everything Mr. Garth did has worked, either. He is the first to admit that $3 million worth of ads this summer lauding the Governor's accomplishments, like passage of a seat-belt law, improved Mr. Cuomo's favorable ratings not one whit. And he credits younger aides with devising the ad that may have shifted the momentum: linking Mr. Pataki and Mr. D'Amato with the Paul Simon song, "You Can Call Me Al," the first Garth ad in 30 years of politicking to use music, to which Mr. Simon granted free rights.
Even now, candidate and consultant fight enough that Mr. Garth would not make the harshest ads some Cuomo advisers wanted, linking Mr. Pataki to right-wing groups, and left that task to the State Democratic Party instead.
On the other side, Mr. Finkelstein's strategy for the campaign -- which boils down to "It's Cuomo, stupid!" -- seems almost entirely responsible for Mr. Pataki's still-hazy public persona, which has left the Republican nominee vulnerable to Mr. Cuomo's attacks.
The candidates came to their consultants by different routes. Mr. Pataki's reliance on Mr. Finkelstein is a result of the nominee's political alliance with Mr. D'Amato, whose three winning Senate campaigns were all masterminded by Mr. Finkelstein. Mr. Cuomo's relationship with Mr. Garth was premised in part on the political allies and former clients that Mr. Garth, the closest thing to a modern political boss, might bring to the battle.
"This is truly a battle of titans, two very strong willed, very focused, very determined, very brilliant guys," Roger Stone, a Washington-based Republican consultant who cut his teeth working for Mr. Finkelstein. "David is a pioneer of television politics, the first man in America to understand that when you buy tons of TV time, people will get it."
And Mr. Finkelstein? "Arthur is focused, focused, focused," he said.
A criticism of Mr. Finkelstein, a polling expert, is that he tries to graft the strategies that have worked for conservative candidates -- from Senator Jesse Helms to Mr. D'Amato -- onto his current candidate, whether or not they fit. His slogan about Mr. Cuomo, "too liberal for too long," is almost identical to Mr. D'Amato's attack on Robert Abrams in his Senate race two years ago as "hopelessly liberal."
"I think he's basically sort of a mad scientist," said John Fossel, chairman of Oppenheimer Funds, "and a scientist he is. He really understands numbers."
Mr. Finkelstein polled in Mr. Fossel's unsuccessful Republican Congressional campaign in Westchester County in 1982. "We had a knock-down, drag-out over whether busing was an issue in Westchester. His polls told him it was. I said, 'I don't think it is, but if it is, it isn't to me,' and we didn't use it."
In 1992, before he went on the attack against Mr. Abrams, Mr. Finkelstein spent months running ads promoting Mr. D'Amato's constituent service, and many politicians say he should have done more to sketch in Mr. Pataki this year.
A criticism of Mr. Garth is that he is stubborn, and has a volcanic temper, though he can be the soul of impish charm when he wants to. In this campaign, he has sometimes stroked the very same reporters whom he accused of liberal bias against Mr. Giuliani last year.
Aides said Mr. Garth has tangled especially with the Governor's top aide, Andrew J. Zambelli, and campaign manager, John Marino, who argued for earlier, harsher attacks on Mr. Pataki, while Mr. Garth resisted until Mr. Cuomo insisted.
"Our positives did not move the Governor's numbers, and I wish they had done more," Mr. Garth said in a telephone interview. "But they helped provide a reservoir of good will for him that's never changed, and I hope pays off."
At another moment, he was sardonic. "You know me," he growled good-naturedly. "You can write anything you want to make up!"


Fans of the attraction in Winter Haven, Florida may wonder "what happened to Cypress Gardens?"
What Happened to Cypress Gardens?
On September 23, 2009, Cypress Gardens and Splash Island Waterpark closed for business officially. The park, which celebrated the history of Florida and the historical garden located within the amusement park's 145 acres went bankrupt. Land South Adventures, LLC, the management company that owned Cypress Gardens, exhausted numerous possibilities for lessees, purchasers and investors.
The property was purchased by the Merlin Entertainment Group late in 2009. In January, 2010, Merlin Entertainment Groups announced the opening of Legoland Florida on the site of the former Cypress Gardens. The new owners plan to incorporate some of the older rides with the new, honoring the history of the park and maintaining the gardens, which gave them their name.
In 1936, Cypress Gardens opened as a botanical preserve. At the heart of Cypress Gardens is this preserve with a magnificent Cypress tree. The historical garden remains a prominent feature of the landscape despite numerous changes around it. The area became known as the Water Ski Capital of the World with more than 50 world records set and broken on the area lakes and regional water shows. The park was a popular destination, but when Walt Disney World opened in 1971, the Winter Haven based park began to feel the pinch on regional interest.
Rides and games were added over the years, but the park closed in 2003. With over 300 employees out of work on short notice, a grassroots movement began called Friends of Cypress Gardens. With a focused fund raising effort, the group was able to raise 13 million dollars in an effort to save the park.
In 2004, it was purchased by Georgia theme park owner Kent Buescher. He added a broader range of rides and attractions. In 2006, his company filed for bankruptcy, throwing Cypress Gardens' fate up in the air once more. A new company, Land South Adventures, LLC purchased it at a bankruptcy auction. They reopened the parks and continued until a temporary closure in 2008. When the park reopened for 2009, all the animals were gone and most of the rides were shut down. The company operated the Gardens and splash park as separate tickets.
Unfortunately, a declining economy led to the park's final closure in 2009 and eventual sale to the Merlin Entertainment Group.
What happened to Cypress Gardens? More than seven decades of history, world records and famous visitors are a testament to the park's popularity and fame. Unfortunately, a poor economy and declining tourism contributed to the park's final fate. Even with the promise of incorporation of classic rides and some of the landscape, the part it played in regional and state history has ended.

Lincoln County Superior Court
New county prosecutor Adam Walser was sworn in Jan. 8 by former superior court judge John Strohmaier.
DAVENPORT – Adam Walser grew up on the family farm in the northeast corner of Lincoln County near Devil's Gap before pursuing a law career that would make him a judge advocate in the Marine Corps. Now, he is the Lincoln County prosecutor, replacing Jeff Barkdull, who was elected Superior Court Judge in the November general election.
Walser was in the Marine Corps as an officer, then became a judge advocate full-time. He said the most interesting case he worked on in his time of service was a complicated theft case that was "poorly prepared" when given to him.

and there — but I couldn't find you!
My son, at two, was just learning to talk.
Those were some of his first sentences.
I never took him back to daycare, and he hasn't lost me since.
for it to be like before.
I thought I might die, looking.
Then I wanted to die, if I could never find you.
Had I made you up?
If you'd never been, why did I long for you so?
but now you were gone.
I searched in other people's lives.
I dug and dug into the earth, my earth.
Found not just dirt, but soil. And life!
taking my garbage and making compost.
Down there, I found you.
the earth my body, my history turned to gold.
giving treasure all the time I thought you were lost.
Who are you, oh Mystery? And who am I?
What is beginning in your beautiful life at this new moon? For me, as I processed what I had taken in during my training in June with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, I realized how deeply frustrated I am that I cannot easily speak clearly about that which is most important to me, about that which is the core of my life: my search for and relationship with Great Mystery. Sometimes painting and poetry are the only way to approach anything like an accurate communication with others.
As many of you know, many years ago I had a strong faith as a Roman Catholic. Suffice it to say that as I learned more, my faith changed deeply, and for many many years I felt both deep loss and anguish with discovering more about so much unmerited suffering of so many in this world and throughout time. In the past 5 years or so the anguish has lifted; now I know how much I don't know about "life, the universe, and everything". At the same time I commit to living out of as much compassion as I'm able to, and to an ongoing curiosity and study of all the ways that humans have made meaning throughout time. And so I talk of soul, and mystery, and love, and life, and solidarity, and compassion.
This painting started out without any words or clear ideas. I loved the idea of a woman of the earth, in the earth, of Gaia, of underground treasure.
Yet I'd just been at a training entitled "The Heart of the Wounded Healer", and I realize how it is also possible for humans to develop increased compassion and sensitivity, and including other gifts, if there are enough inner and outer resources as well as the deep challenges present. My physical body is often in pain, and the wrinkled surface of the tissue paper expresses this well. And somehow, I have accepted this life I have, and somehow, the wounds can also be accepted as potential gold if they are portals to new worlds and understandings. This is when I added the gold into the woman's body, and spirals of energy into the sky and sun. I also added my everyday self as the tiny figure, searching for soul.
I am so grateful for the wonderful poetry and painting you have shared with me.
Dearest Cat: How can I not witness and hearing a story that beautiful and soulful as yours?
Many thanks for sharing. Reading your poem, the story of your painting and your search for Creator is a lesson for my soul. It is always a privilege to read you. Your poem reminds me of mystical poets such Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, San Juan de la Cruz.
I pray for you today.
Cat, I love your words and your art. I am deeply moved by both.
I always appreciate your comments, Carol. Thank you!

Yelp Pushes for Anti-SLAPP Legislation
By Hyunjae Ham | July 26, 2015
Imagine this: you hire a contractor to install new hardwood floors. After the job is done, you discover that the floors weren't built to code, multiple doors no longer fully open, and boot prints were visible in the varnish. So, you go on Yelp and submit a scathing review, "Absolutely horrible experience… The quality of the work is deplorable. Be warned!" Six months later, the company sues you for civil theft, intentional interference, and defamation, claiming that your online reviews had caused it to lose $625,000 worth of business, or $250,000 in profits; The company demands $125,000 in compensation. $60,000 in legal fees later, you settle for $15,000.
Unfortunately, this story is not a mere hypothetical. This is the story of Matthew White, a Denver-area resident who has become one of countless victims of Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP). In today's online environment, a few bad reviews on Yelp can derail a fledgling company. SLAPP is the term used to describe legal claims made with the intention of silencing critics, despite having little chance of prevailing in court.
In response, consumer, media, and activist groups have lobbied for anti-SLAPP laws, and 28 states and Washington D.C. have passed laws intended to discourage SLAPP suits. There is no federal law yet, however.
Yelp, the $3 billion San Francisco company that publishes crowd-sourced reviews about local businesses, opened a political office in Washington last year to push for anti-SLAPP laws. In May, the Free Speech Act was introduced to a Congressional committee. According to Laurent Crenshaw, who handles national policy for Yelp, "This issue is really one that hits close to the heart for Yelp… The concern is that these types of lawsuits, even if not incredibly common, will have a chilling effect on people's engagement online."
The Free Speech Act aims to curb SLAPP suits by requiring a plaintiff in a speech-related case pertaining to matters of public concern to prove that he is likely to prevail. If he is unable to, the case would be automatically dismissed "with prejudice," allowing the defendant to recover legal fees.
Yelp has built an impressive anti-SLAPP coalition, with endorsements from two major tech industry groups, the Internet Association and the Consumer Electronics Association, and has consulted with the likes of Facebook and Google. "Yelp's involvement has been huge… It has really been tremendous for the cause" said Evan Mascagni, policy director for the Public Participation Project, a coalition pushing for anti-SLAPP laws.
Still, the road to a federal anti-SLAPP law will be long and arduous. Government transparency website GovTrack.us gives the Free Speech Act a 13 percent chance of being enacted, and accusations against Yelp claiming that the website solicited money for removing negative comments certainly does not help. Yelp is going to need to step up its game if it wants users to leave unfettered reviews without the fear of losing thousands in SLAPP lawsuits.

The start of July. Halfway clear of the dystopian wastes of 2018, with the days threatening to get shorter again. A time to stop and think about all the things we thought we'd achieve back in January that we then got distracted from by US politics. More importantly, a time to think about the books we've read.
At the end of last year, I posted a short list of the best books I'd read in 2017. That was from a total of some 45 books. As July loomed, it dawned on me that I'd already read some 34+ books in 2018. More than enough to discuss without waiting for the year to end. And being a writerly sort, I'd already made an annotated list of the books I'd finished. How very shareable.
I've abridged the list to ones I'd really recommend from what I've read so far this year. If you're interested in the rest (many of which I did enjoy, but would have to cavaet), I've included the titles of the rest below. There's little particularly current or newsworthy about these titles, just the random tract of reading that my mind and bookshelves have taken me on.
The books are listed in the order that I read them, nothing more. I'd have no idea how else to order them, truth be told. Except that Blood Meridian would be on top.
Of the rest, there's a fair few I'd say were worth a read. Some I did not get on with but others might like. There's about 3 here that I feel like I shouldn't have bothered finishing.
And there's one book, not on this list, which I actually gave up on (after reading a substantial amount – I expect there's a handful I never got into). But we won't go into that.
Got any recommendations, anything that's particularly stood out for you in 2018? Let me know!


Although aiming to encourage items and companies effectively in the market, companies had realized the value of adopting advertising methods early on. Due to the powerful competitiveness, marketing and advertising methods obtained infused with the technological innovations in buy to evolve out as the modern marketing, which is now embedded in the customer's life and impacting it at a fast tempo.
Thankfully, from radio to world wide web and smart-phones, these days technological innovation has revolutionized the approaches entrepreneurs can attain to their prospective consumers. But, back again then in the late 50's, with nearly no effective advertising channel, organizations ended up locating it tough to technique a enormous customer base.
This is how automation technological innovation arrived into existence. It has traced its origins back again from a Consumer Partnership Administration or CRM that came out of Rolodexes and a pack of organization cards. It acted as a rescuer for the firms who were endeavoring to keep their workers and client's documents into a central expertise group. But, in no course of time, it turned the fundamental business aspect and started locating its purposes in expert company companies as properly.
In the course of the late nineteen eighties, CRM platforms had received more electricity in conditions of consumer help servicing, product sales management, and forecasting. But, the large price tag tag held it confined to handful of multinational businesses.
In 1999, Mark Benioff, the founder of Salesforce, invented the Month-to-month Licence (MLC) price model, with aiming to offer price-successful and agile company design, that more launched SaaS or Software as a Service. And in distinction, this technology progressed out as an amalgam of e mail capability, world wide web analytics, and the Advertising Source Management (MRM). With the introduction of the net, entrepreneurs were seeking possible approaches to get to their consumers. The pioneer of this place Eloqua arrived in 1999 and developed a solution, later on renowned as automated marketing services in 2003.
Shortly, the success of this pattern led to the arrival of much more gamers in the industry these kinds of as Pardot, HubSpot, WhatsNexx etc, and market commenced gaining momentum whilst shifting marketing automation solutions to cloud platforms.
By 2008, new platforms this sort of as HubSpot, Act-On, dominated the industry, and the introduction of social media marketing, content material management, research engine optimization produced marketers incorporating a assortment of automation resources.
In the period 2013-2014, the automation sector witnessed a massive expansion economically through acquisitions when a large marketing and advertising computer software firm ExactTarget obtained a advertising and marketing automation organization Pardot for $95.5 million and in switch, salesforce.com invested $2.five billion to acquire ExactTarget, This is recorded as its greatest acquisition ever.
I identified individuals wondering if CRM and marketing and advertising automation co-exists. In truth, couple of consider the later on as a subset of the CRM market which follows 1 of the marketing and advertising rules suggested by Al Ries and Jack Trout. To explain, CRM is product sales focused application although the other is consumer-centric software that totally focuses on marketing and advertising technique. Where a CRM manages company's interactions with their buyers, a automation software streamlines company's marketing responsibilities, and work-flows. Nonetheless, these two, jointly, go arms in hand and reinforce firm's insights and efficiencies. A excellent CRM-marketing automation integration unleashes an prospect to manage knowledge management and strategies marketing and advertising strategies.
It can filter related data and essential fields to standardize tagging and info, and perfect processes. Also, it can run car-cleaning procedures to cleanse the dumped data in a CRM system. Businesses employing automation computer software have witnessed an amazing expansion of 451% in qualified leads and fourteen.5% in sales efficiency as properly as twelve.2% advertising and marketing overhead reduction. We can conclude by stating that the future of advertising and marketing fully belongs to Marketing Automation.

According to the World Health Organisation, breast cancer is the top cancer in women worldwide and is increasing particularly in developing countries where the majority of cases are diagnosed in late stages.
The Lancet Global Health journal states that an estimated 94,378 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in Sub-Saharan Africa annually. The journal also found that awareness campaigns could improve healthcare-seeking behaviour and referral in symptomatic women, and it is therefore important to ensure that women have access to information about breast cancer.
For these reasons, the GE team in Cameroon recently organised a fun walk in Yaounde as part of an initiative to raise breast cancer awareness in the community. About 50 people participated in the 8km walk, which took walkers passed the GE office in Rosa Park Avenue before they made their way to the Orchidee Sport Centre.
After the walk, participants did a series of exercises and a group of doctors from the Central Hospital in Yaounde then did a presentation on how to do appropriate screening at home and what to do if you suspect you have breast cancer.
Even though information about is being disseminated through various health organisations, multinationals such as GE and governments across Africa, raising awareness about this disease remains a priority due to the high mortality rate.

- [Voiceover] What I want to do in this video is get a little bit of experience, see a few examples of trying to roughly estimate the square root of non-perfect squares. So let's say that I had, if I wanted to estimate the square root of 32. And in particular, I'm just curious, between what two integers will this square root lie? Well one way to think about it is 32 is in between what perfect squares? We see 32 is, actually let me make sure I have some space for future examples. So 32, what's the perfect square below 32? So the greatest perfect square below 32 is 25. 32 is greater than 25. That's five squared. So maybe I should write it this way. So five squared is less than 32 and then 32, what's the next perfect square after 32? Well 32 is less than 36. So we could say 32 is less than six squared. So if you were to take the square root of all of these sides right over here, we could say that instead of here we have all of the values squared, but instead, if we took the square root, we could say five is going to be less than the square root of 32, which is less than, which is less than six. Notice, to go from here to here, to go from here to here, and here to here, all we did is we squared things, we raised everything to the second power. But the inequality should still hold. So the square root of 32 should be between five and six. It's going to be five point something. Let's do another example. Let's say we wanted to estimate, we want to say between what two integers is the square root of 55? Well we can do the same idea. Let's square it. So if we square the square root of 55, we're just gonna get to 55. We're just going to get, let me do that in the same color, 55. So okay, 55 is between which two perfect squares? So the perfect square that is below 55, or I could say the greatest perfect square that is less than 55. Let's see, six squared is 36 and seven squared is 49, eight squared is 64. So it would be 49. I could write that as seven squared. Let me write that, that is the same thing as seven squared. And what's the next perfect square above it? Well we just figured it out. Seven squared is 49, eight squared is larger than 55, it's 64. So this is going to be less than 64, which is eight squared. And of course 55, just to make it clear what's going on. 55 is the square root of 55 squared. That's kind of by definition, it's going to be the square root of 55 squared. And so the square root of 55 is going to be between what? It's going to be between seven and eight. So seven is less than the square root of 55, which is less than eight. So once again, this is just an interesting way to think about, what would you, if someone said the square root of 55 and at first you're like, "Oh, uh, I don't know what that is. "I don't have a calculator," et cetera et cetera. You're like, "Oh wait, wait, that's going to be between "49 and 64, so it's going to be seven point something." It's going to be seven point something. And you can even get a rough estimate of seven point what based on how far away it is from 49 and 64. You can begin to approximate things. Let's do one more example. Let's say we wanted to figure out where does the square root of 123 lie? And like always, I encourage you to pause the video and try to think about it yourself. Between what two integers does this lie? Well, if we were to square it, you get to 123. And what's the perfect square that is the greatest perfect square less than 123? Let's see, 10 squared is 100. 11 squared is 121. 12 squared is 144. So 11 squared. So 123, so we could write 121 is less than 123, which is less than 144, that's 12 squared. So if we take the square roots we could write that 11 is less than the square root of 123, which is less than 144. So once again, what's the square root of 123? It's going to be 11 point something. And in fact, it's going to be closer to 11 than it's going to be to 12. 123 is a lot closer to 121 than it is to 144. So it might be, I don't know, 11.1, something like that. I don't know if that's exactly right, we would have to check that on the calculator. But hopefully this gives you, oops I, that actually will be less than 144. But if we want to think about what consecutive integers is that be between, it's going to be a 12 right over there. Almost made a... Well anyway, you get the idea. Hopefully you enjoyed that.

What is the theme of "Birmingham Sunday" by Richard Fariña?
Despite the destruction of innocence, we'll keep hoping for freedom.
Analyze the way in which Fariña uses figurative language and sensory imagery to stir the reader's emotions and create meaning in this stanza.
How many black berries grew in the Blue Sea? How many dark ships in the forest? She asked these questions because these items are out of place just like the bomb is out of place in the church.
Analyze the way in which Fariña uses figurative language and sensory imagery to stir the reader's emotions and create meaning in these stanzas.
The stanza is an example of extended metaphor. It is interesting that the lines are unchanged from the original song from which the melody for "Birmingham Sunday" is taken. In this metaphor, the "men in the forest" seemed awfully concerned about the "black berries." At the same time, the speaker, "with a tear" in his or her eye, asks about the "dark ships."
She has combed and brushed her night-dark hair,
And bathed rose petal sweet,
And drawn white gloves on her small brown hands,
And white shoes on her feet.
What is ironic about the sensory imagery in the stanza?
The little girl is preparing her appearance carefully for church, but the church will be bombed.
What is the rhyme scheme of the stanza?
Analyze the structure of the poem "Birmingham Sunday" and explain why Fariña made certain structural decisions. Use evidence from the text to support your analysis.
Fariña uses sensory imagery to set the appropriate mood. Appealing to our sense of touch and sight, he paints in our minds a cloudy sad day.Our ears can hear the choirs "singing of Freedom,". The presence of "the falcon of death," the sound is ironic in its routine beauty. Using a metaphor to compare death to a falcon.Fariña creates a somber mood, which hints that something terrible is going to happen on this Sunday morning at a place where "there was no need to run."
What is the theme of "Ballad of Birmingham" by Dudley Randall?
There is no safe haven from injustice.
Compare and contrast the ways that "Birmingham Sunday" and "Ballad of Birmingham" each responds to the church bombing and the themes of both works. Use evidence from both readings to defend your analysis.
Fariña uses sensory imagery to set the appropriate mood. Appealing to our sense of touch and sight, he paints in our minds a cloudy sad day.Our ears can hear the choirs "singing of Freedom,".

Fariña creates a somber mood, which hints that something terrible is going to happen on this Sunday morning at a place where "there was no need to run."
Analyze the way in which Randall uses sensory imagery to stir the reader's emotions and create meaning. Use evidence from the poem to defend your analysis.
Randall uses sensory images to evoke innocence and, sadness and. She evokes innocence with the presence of white gloves and white shoes. She portrays sadness by the mothers actions, "Her eyes grew wet and wild"
The clouds they were grey and the autumn winds blew,
And Denise McNair brought the number to two.
The falcon of death was a creature they knew,
And the choirs kept singing of Freedom,
In the excerpt from The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank portrays various groups in great detail. Choose one of the groups she writes about and analyze how she portrays that group in a short response.
She wrote about the Nazi army and what she said about them was basically that they were very unfair to people like her and her family.
How does Filipovic portray people's reaction to war?
They are resilient to war.
Analyze the way in which The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank is related to the themes and issues of its historical period.
Survival and prejudice are the central themes of the diary of Anne Frank. In the diary, Anne is going through her adolescent life. The life of the Jewish people outside Germany was also described in the diary. Discrimination was also evident since Anne and her sister were only allowed to study in Jewish schools.
Furthermore, Hitler has been so kind as to announce to his loyal, devoted people that as of today all military personnel are under orders of the Gestapo, and that any soldier who knows that one of his superiors was involved in this cowardly attempt on the Führer's life may shoot him on sight!
What does Frank's tone reveal about her perspective of German soldiers serving Hitler?
German soldiers were not all supportive of Hitler.
Identify and compare the basic beliefs and perspectives of Anne Frank and Zlata Filipovic.
Anne Frank- For two years, she and her family hid in an attic above her father's business. The Nazi Party was occupying Holland and were arresting or killing people that did not meet the Aryan agenda. During those months in hiding, Anne wrote in her diary about her hopes, fears, and whatever else came to mind. Zlata Filipovic- She was dubbed the "Anne Frank of Sarajevo" because like Anne, she also had a diary and wrote down her thoughts about the Bosnian war. While Anne was hiding from the Nazis, Zlata was hiding from the gunfire and shrapnel that was destroying her town of Sarajevo.
Compare and contrast the portrayal of war in Zlata's Diary with The Diary of a Young Girl.
How does Filipovic view the Bosnian conflict?
She is angry that people are dying pointlessly.
According to Frank, why is the war harder on children than adults?
Children are still trying to find themselves.
What is Frank's basic belief and perspective about the world?
