This article reviews Nevada's legal process, penalties, and what you can do when you're caught with a controlled substance in your possession.
ARTICLE OVERVIEW: Caught with drug possession in the state of Nevada? Worried about the legal proceedings to follow and the penalties you might be up against? You are not alone. We review the state legal process and how drug rehab can help.
Nevada is known for having a zero tolerance when it comes to drug possession laws. Though marijuana was recently legalized in the state, being in control of any other federally illicit substances can result in serious penalties.
The rules are outlined under the Nevada Revised Statutes, N.R.S. 453.336, or the Uniform Controlled Substances Act and General Provision . This series of laws outlines how the state views substances and penalties for use, possession, or sales. The act states that any possession of a controlled substance in the state results in a felony charge. Even possession of a personal amount results in a felony. Further, a first-time offender can face a prison sentence of 4 years and a fine of up to $5,000.
1. Actual Possession, defined as having a controlled substance on your person or in your hands or pockets.
2. Constructive Possession, defined as having a controlled substance in a place where you had control over the substance, such as your house, apartment, car, or hotel room.
3. Joint Possession, defined as having a controlled substance with more than one person. For example, if you're driving around town with some friends and one of them has a controlled substance on them, you can all be held accountable.
When you're receiving a drug possession charge, law enforcement will also consider what you were trying to do with the controlled substance. If it's assumed you were trying to distribute or traffic a drug, you'll be put to much more serious prosecution.
What determines trafficking charges? Usually, the amount of drug you have on you. Or, there are little clues the court will use against you. For example, if you have a scale or little baggies on you at the time of your arrest, those can be considered evidence you had the intent to sell.
1. Law enforcement read you your Miranda Rights.
Immediately after you're arrested, a police officer must inform you of your Miranda Rights. These include your right to remain silent, your right to contact an attorney, and your right to have an attorney present during questioning. Under these rights, law enforcement must also inform you'll be given the right to a lawyer if you're unable to afford one.
2. You contact a Public Defender.
In order to receive a public defender, you must have a certain set of qualifications such as holding an income level that's below the threshold. If you have pending charges, it's important you either attempt to reach out to a public defender or call an attorney.
3. The D.A. files a charge.
Once a district attorney in Nevada looks over the police report and evidence provided, he/she will decide whether or not it's a sufficient enough case to be charged. If it is, you can expect the district attorney to file a criminal complaint form, also known as an indictment, which claims to the court that you have committed a crime.
Some people are arrested only for a file to never be charged. However, due to Nevada's zero drug tolerance policy, this very rarely happens to offenders with a controlled substance charge.
4. You attend an Arraignment Hearing.
During an Arraignment Hearing, you're making your first appearance in a court of law. A judge will inform you of your charges and ask how you'd like to plea. This is when you tell the judge whether you're "guilty" or "not guilty". It should be noted that what you tell the judge is only a suggestion. If the judge feels there's enough evidence to decide you are guilty, s/he can overrule your "not guilty" plea.
5. You may be released on bail.
Usually, your bond will be set either on the day of or a bit before your arraignment hearing. With your bond will be a set of conditions which assure you'll come back to court if you're released from custody.
6. You attend the Trial.
When you receive a felony charge, you're automatically given a jury trial. This means 12 jurors will decide whether or not you are guilty of your drug possession crime. You will have the opportunity to defend yourself in front of a court of law. And a prosecutor will have the opportunity to use evidence against you. By the end of the trial, the jury must come to a decision of whether or not you are guilty. If you are found guilty, you will then receive your sentencing.
1. LEGALITY. The evidence that you were in possession of a controlled substance when you were arrested.
2. KNOWLEDGE. The evidence that you knew of the illegal nature of the controlled substance and you knew it was present at the time of your arrest.
3. CONTROL. The evidence that you had control over both the presence and location of the controlled substance.
When it comes to how you'll be sentenced, it can be difficult to get an exact sense or predict the outcome. The state of Nevada penalizes people in accordance to the nature of their crime. Therefore, someone caught trafficking a Schedule I substance will face stronger penalties in comparison to someone caught with a personal amount of that same substance.Still, it remains a fact that almost all drug possession crimes in Nevada are treated as a felony. With that, every charge of drug possession comes with harsh consequences.
There is no statute of limitations for most drug possession crimes in Nevada. This is due to the fact that most result in a felony charge. If you have a misdemeanor charge, then you have a statute of limitations for 1 year and 1 day.
When you're charged with a misdemeanor crime, the penalty is often less severe than that of a felony. However, in the state of Nevada, it's very unlikely you'll receive a misdemeanor for being in the possession of drugs.Even if you're caught just over the recreational legal amount of 1 ounce of marijuana, you'll be charged with a felony. You'll be charged a misdemeanor if you're using marijuana in public.
In Nevada, felony charges are divided into three classifications . The class of charge assigned todrug possession varies from case to case. People with a personal amount of cocaine on them might end up with a Class E felony. However, people trafficking a large amount of drugs may find themselves with a Class B or Class A felony.
○ 1 to 4 years in prison.
○ A fine of up to $1,000.
○ 19 months to 4 years in prison.
○ A fine of up to $5,000.
○ 2 to 5 years in prison.
○ A fine of up to $10,000.
○ 8 to 20 years in prison.
○ Fines of up to $50,000.
○ Fines which can easily reach over $100,000.
○ Life in prison with or without the possibility of parole.
Besides fines and prison time, a drug possession charge can result in a number of other penalties. This will depend on your situation. In order to get a better sense, you'll want to talk to your lawyer.
Inability to obtain certain employment.
Inability to obtain certain types of government employment.
Inability to qualify for certain types of college scholarship or financial aid.
Inability to qualify for public housing.
Inability to receive a state license or certification.
Potential enrollment in drug treatment programs.
Suspension of your driver's license.
In Nevada, alternative sentencing may vary from county to county . Considering the fact that Nevada has some of the strictest laws in the country, it may also be difficult to qualify for some of these. In order to get a clear sense of whether you can receive an alternative sentence or not, you'll want to speak to a lawyer. It remains in your best interest to look into these options as it can reduce jail time and other punishments.
This is a specialized court used for the purpose of rehabilitating drug offenders.  Through a drug court, you can expect to be sent receive drug addiction treatment via an inpatient or outpatient facility. When you are eligible for drug court, there are still rules to follow and you will be treated as though you're on probation. You'll need to make consistent appearances to either a court or a supervising officer. If you successfully complete your drug treatment, then your charges will be dropped.
Under certain circumstances, people can avoid incarceration through house arrest. You must be screened and approved in order to qualify. If you are approved, you must wear an electronic monitor which checks to make sure you're always in agreement with your curfew requirements. A house arrest will allow you to go to work, go to church, and receive both medical attention and drug treatment. If you break your house arrest rules, you'll be charged with further penalties.
First-time offenders of a non-violent crime can apply to a pre-trial diversion. This is a type of probation where you must attend court on a regular basis and not commit further crimes. Furthermore, you may have some specialty regulations surrounding your particular case. It's important to note that if you were caught trafficking or attempting to distribute a controlled substance, then you automatically don't qualify for a pre-trial diversion.
It's important you reach out to a lawyer as soon as you've been charged with drug possession in Nevada. After your arrest, you're going to be required to attend legal hearings and proceedings. With an attorney by your side during these times, you can handle the situations to better.
Since the court decides on penalties on a case to case basis, your penalties aren't decided the moment you're arrested. Rather, you'll have the opportunity to defend yourself. With that, it's best to have someone by your side who can not only offer legal advice but also defend you in the best possible manner.
What if you can't afford a lawyer?As long as you qualify, you'll be offered a public defender. Make sure you take this public defender as s/he will be able to give you the advice you need when defending yourself against the prosecution.

My starving eyes saucered as they attempted to watch it all at once. They'd been deprived of simple beauty and had grown lazy on a steady diet of televised facsimiles. Freedom breezed past me at 55 miles per hour in the form of green fields, trees, farm-houses, and tiny communities littered sparsely across the land.
Traveling on the prison transfer bus is an especially hellish ordeal. The discomfort and disorientation that the ride places on a convict is exacerbated by the fact that most of the buses, except a few older models still in service, have a barrier of sheet metal where the windows should be. This allows only a thin trickle of light and air to come through a three-inch wide perforated portion of the metal that runs along the top of the side walls of the bus. Due to the restraints that weigh down an inmate in transit, it is difficult and painful to stand and look through this slim window on the world—not to mention illegal—and a C/O managing a transfer bus is quick to write a ticket. This barrier serves to keep the degenerate criminals within from glimpsing all that they're missing, and the public from having to put actual human faces on the idea of incarceration.
There is, however, a coveted seat that affords the weary convict a view during his travels.
In nearly all my transfers and writs, I was always seated somewhere close to the middle of the bus. It's not like the C/O had asked for my opinion or let me choose a seat to my liking. Only once in twenty trips was I ever blessed to be placed in the one seat—at the front of the bus in the row of seats opposite the driver—that had bars across the window instead of the metal barrier. The bars did little to mar my view. The world I was so far removed from felt somehow foreign. I felt like a stranger moving through a strange land. In opposition to this vaguely unsettling notion rising within me, there was a welcome familiarity to my road trip.
In my youth, I'd traveled endless highways on family outings to visit distant relatives and to lay down roots in new towns. The idea of exodus and ease of movement is part of the bedrock and backbone of America. There is something especially inviting about an open road stretching out before us; it speaks to infinite possibilities and the freedom to come and go as we please. That freedom was taken from me by my own bad decisions. However, for a brief moment on the transfer bus, the highway spread out before me, and I got to watch from my window seat as the beautiful summer sun blazed down on the world. The view consumed me, the carriage that carried me was of no consequence, and I was just another sojourner in this life. For a few fleeting hours as I perched on my window seat, I transcended my tragically drab surroundings and found a sense of freedom, if not freedom itself.

Q: Bing map with search control and current location using openlayers Can We use bing map with search control (search location - like London) and current location using openlayers. openlayer we are using for adding markers.

A: There is an extension for Openlayers 3 called Geocoder thanks to Jonatas Walker who developped it, here is a jsFiddle made by him, ( I just forked it ) you can base your search by osm, photon or if you have a key to google geocode api.
//Instantiate with some options and add the Control
  var geocoder = new Geocoder('nominatim', {
    provider: 'osm',
    lang: 'en',
    placeholder: 'Search for ...',
    limit: 5,
    keepOpen: true
  });
  map.addControl(geocoder);

Now for the current location you can use the geolocation example it allows you to get your position based on network location or if you are using it in mobile with cordova you can get the precise network+gps location

Demonizing yoga won't bring people back to church
Stephen Berkwitz
Pastor John Lindell's recent sermon on the "paranormal" has made waves locally and nationally. Based on his concerns of an apparent cultural drift toward a "post-Christian" America, Mr. Lindell delivered a sermon heard in church and online that links certain aspects of popular culture with "demonic" influences that stem from Satan. However, he offers only a partial and polemical view about yoga, Wicca and elements of Native American spirituality. Steve Pokin's rebuttal in this paper acknowledged that Lindell's sermon approached this subject through a literal interpretation of the Bible, but Mr. Pokin also seemed to minimize the harm caused by the sermon. Lindell's sermon and Pokin's response both need some additional commentary.
Much could be said about the points that Lindell made, but I will focus here on his comments about yoga. Despite his research, he failed to recognize that yoga has never been a singular tradition, and thus one cannot make easy generalizations about it. Many scholars even question the claim that it has its roots in Hinduism, as it developed outside of its ancient priestly tradition. Regardless, much of yoga as practiced today grows out of practices developed in 20th century India, and which combined medieval yoga poses, gymnastics, British calisthenics, bodybuilding and scientific thinking. Modern yoga is actually quite "new" and incorporates both exercise and spirituality in a wide variety of ways.
Ironically, Lindell's arguments about yoga as a practice undermining religious life resemble what some Hindus also claim. These practitioners bemoan the secularization and commodification of yoga, arguing that it has lost its spiritual connection to Hinduism. In the modern world, many conservative Christians and Hindus feel that people are not religious enough. The latter sometimes argue that yoga is evidence of a "post-Hindu" turn.
Lindell's claim that yoga is diametrically opposed to Christianity mirrors what a number of evangelical theologians and church leaders maintain. These Christians fear that yoga is a sort of trojan horse for new age spirituality and "eastern mysticism" that threaten to drive people away from church. The basis for Lindell's claims is that yoga derives from a "demonic" religion. According to him, Hinduism and Buddhism are demonic, idol-worshipping religions designed to open people up to the influences of Satan. Such claims are similar to what early Christian missionaries said about Hindus and Buddhists when they traveled to Asia in the 16th and 17th centuries. This was the language of people seeking to convert and conquer other lands.
Such discourse coming from a respected and influential pastor is thus more harmful than Pokin admits. One should not forget that there are Hindus, Buddhists, and Wiccans who live in the Ozarks. Mr. Lindell's sermon effectively depicts our neighbors, doctors, and local business owners as "demonic" influences. Does this mean Christians should avoid them just like they should avoid doing yoga? The claim that other religions are "demonic" reflects a very prejudiced and dangerous discourse, as it marginalizes and threatens good people in our community. We surely owe it to our neighbors of different faiths to recognize and respect their religious differences.
Instead of condemning yoga as a demonic threat to Christianity, Mr. Lindell would do better to emphasize the distinctive benefits of following Christ. His message would have been more effective and less controversial had he argued that yoga is not a sufficient replacement for a Christian life. Indeed, many Christian practitioners of yoga would have surely agreed. Yoga is not the cause behind declining church membership, but rather, studies suggest it has more to do with people's growing discomfort with the politicized and divisive messages of their religious leaders.

Musicians, deejays, producers and emcees bring clubs and bars to life in the twilight hours. As we are always on the lookout to catch them in a different light, the bright light of day, SOL REPUBLIC asks asks our favorites to hang out with us for breakfast. This installment of our Breakfast With… series has us hanging with Father, on the occasion of his first visit to San Francisco this spring. You know Father, he's the producer wunderkind out of Atlanta with his own label AWFUL RECORDS and has been involved in Pretty Boy Satan, L1L DIDDY, Boys and Girls Club, Young Hot Ebony, and Brawl over the last few years.
Father and his crew met with us at Brenda's French Soul Food on Polk Street and we had a conversation about hopes and dreams while eating some of the best food in the Tenderloin.
Father had the Catfish Po' Boy with fries and drank a Sprite, while I ate Pork Belly with cheesy grits and drank water.
Who has been your favorite collaborator?
Outside of Awful, it would either be Key! or Makonnen. They're both two of few people who I've seen just pop up and within minutes pull a crazy anthem seemingly out of no where.
Who of your colleagues do you admire?
KCSB. If I could produce as many diverse, immaculate beats at the rate he can I'd be unstoppable, but alas we all have our own personal strengths. Everyone has a particular trait I admire.
Does living in ATL influence your musical direction?
Certainly, I think it's how current our party atmosphere is. I've been to other cities and the music they play will be light years behind, playing popular Atlanta music from months or even years prior. That doesn't really fly here, so we stay in a constant state of progression.
What's the difference between playing a show in Atlanta, versus a show on the road?
I think the crowd is more appreciative of the fact that I'm even there and tend to get even more hype and involved.
Living; I get my best lines from general conversation I have with my peers about the real life events going on day to day with us. It just so happens two-thirds of these conversations revolve around women.
What music do you have on deck?
I've been listening to a lot of bossanova & surf rock as of late.
Reason 8, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere & social media.
You recently just dropped a new surprise album. Can you tell us about this album and the inspiration behind it?
What's new for you in 2015?
I'll be going on my first headlining tour this Summer. Between that and various other shows I'll be working on new singles, EPs and various collaborations with other members of Awful Records.
Welcome SOL REPUBLIC Savior of Sound Father!
You can keep up with Father, check his show schedule and all the music he's been producing via his website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and Soundcloud.
All hail SOLdier of Sound Father!!!!


It's spring. Time to haul out the bikes. Aside from the noble few who commute by bike, most of us enjoy biking as a recreation. It's a great way to get exercise while appreciating the scenery.
What do we do with bikes we don't use? They're left in garages and basements. They're tossed in landfills. Many college towns are left with hundreds of bikes abandoned on campus after students depart for the summer. In the U.S. alone, 22 million new bicycles are purchased each year, leaving millions of old ones to be discarded.
But in many parts of the world, a bicycle is an opportunity to reduce hours of daily walking and a means to lift one's family from poverty.
Dave Schweidenback has a solution.
Decades ago, when he was a Peace Corps volunteer in the Amazon Basin, he saw how a simple bicycle could transform lives. When he got back to the U.S. he began collecting unwanted bikes. The donated bikes were shipped to developing countries, where they were sold at low cost. In the last 20 years, Schweidenback's organization, Pedals for Progress has sent 129, 447 bikes to 32 countries.
Get involved. Find out how to donate bikes or sewing machines to Pedals for Progress.

We'll meet at Parliament to present a symbolic message and showcase the beauty in our diversity. We'll then turn and walk together 1500m to Reconciliation Place for a family friendly Community Festival of Solutions, to celebrate how our communities are leading with action. There will be music, speeches and stalls in a positive atmosphere where you can inspire and be inspired towards action and change.


Final prices were 5% lower than in the previous tender of the same kind. Around 40% of the selected projects were submitted by agricultural enterprises.
"Once again, solar installations on buildings show increasing competitiveness with prices down by 5% compared to the previous bidding round," said Minister De Rugy.
France's newly appointed Minister of the Ecological and Solidary Transition (MTES), François de Rugy has announced the list of 392 winning projects under the fifth round of the country's three-year tender for rooftop PV installations ranging in size from 100 kW to 8 MW.
"Once again, solar installations on buildings show increasing competitiveness with prices down by 5% compared to the previous bidding round," said De Rugy. The final average price of all selected projects was €76.8/MWh, which is 5% down from the price of €80.8/MWh registered in April's tender. De Rugy also revealed that large projects within this bidding round have registered a historically low price of €72.2/MWh.
The graph, issued by the French Government, show how prices have dropped considerably over the past two years.
De Rugy said that the seventh bidding round for projects of this kind will be closed in early November, and that it will assign a larger capacity: 300 MW.
This is in accordance with the decision last December by former Minister Nicolas Hulot to increase the annual capacity to be allocated through the series of solar tenders from 1.45 GW to 2.45 GW.
The results of the tender for solar projects for self-consumption were also revealed. Overall, 48 projects with a combined capacity of 20 MW were selected.
These projects, said De Rugy, have an average self-consumption rate of around 98% and are entitled to sell excess power to the grid at a tariff €26.8/MWh. In the previous tender of the same kind, just 2.2 MW of projects were assigned.


Flanagan's lowest rated film on RT (only a 61), but still fun. Sort of a PG-13 The Sixth Sense vibe.
Relative to his other directorial work (that I've caught: the Hill House series is still on my to-watch queue), I definitely agree with the lower rating. Still an okay time overall, but I was mostly frustrated with parts of it not being baked fully. It briefly brought up the kid having unavoidable microsleep waking-dreaming flashes thanks to trying to never sleep, which was a great touch...and then the movie kind of forgot that it brought it up after using it once.
Also it really didn't feel like it earned its ending. "It doesn't feel like it can [have a happy ending]" the lad says, and I wonder if that was deliberate lampshading because it was forced on the movie.
This one of the few movies Flanagan made that I didn't enjoy mainly for the reasons Drastic pointed out.
Director Mike Flanagan had repeatedly objected to the film being marketed as a "horror movie," and instead referred to it as a "fable" or a "supernatural drama."
This definitely makes the happy ending more sensical. And remember, the ending isn't fully happy—none of the people who were taken by the Canker Man have come back, that was just Jess telling a story! But with time and training of the gift and love, they may yet.
I am guessing that a part of the low rating is that the movie was marketed as a horror film, and has all the trappings of a horror film, but doesn't quite follow the horror script. Fair enough! But I enjoyed it, and it was great to see Courtney Bell from Flanagan's first movie, Abstentia.
I read an interview where Flanagan was describing the classic "Let's take this kid into a lab and see what his powers really are" scene that was written but not filmed. While I can see how a) that is a bit of a cliche and b) it might have been a narrative drag if not done well, I can't help but think that it would have shifted the film enough into sci-fi to shuffle off the horror expectations and make the ending sit better.


As assured, here comes another outfit from Lulu&Sky. Lace trims all over the outfit are giving more of a royal feeling especially when it's carried with a straw hat that has a lovely bowknot at the back of it. Laces were enough to bring a twist to the outfit though, cutout shoulders were added as a cherry on top. This dress, in my opinion, is a perfect combination of classic and glamour. Lulu&Sky offers quite a unique stuff and I love to explore their store on and off. Talking about its price, it doesn't ask for much though. Obviously, that's nowhere near to what you can get in Sarojini, but that's how it should be. You must be willing to pay for something that stands out. About my jewelry, I preferred to wear something light and elegant so these dazzling gold-plated hoop earrings did well to keep me content on my decision.
The lace dress is not a new concept at all. Early 16th century was the time when this was developed in Europe and continued to be a part of the outfits since then and was suitable for both men and women. Lace was considered as the sign of sophistication and delicacy and was often the most expensive part of the outfit in the history probably because of its painstaking production. When things are demanded as hand-made, it's no doubt time consuming and would need more hands resulting in more labor cost which gets added to the final amount. But it's no more a time when anything is restricted to anyone. Machines have been made and people are quite comfortable with it which has made it affordable to almost every class out there.
This could be pulled off well with some elegant jewellery, a tote briefcase bag and stiletto heels for sure but I could only manage to pair it up with this weaved sling bag and same old floral slippers considering limited time and energy to shop, and also because that's all you could carry well in a place like Bali. You'd hardly find anyone who's being more attentive towards their looks. That place is just about relaxing no matter who thinks what.
We went to Rock Bar which is all about sunset, drinks and of course food and is only accessible via AYANA Resort and Spa cliff side area. The entire pictures were clicked at the resort area itself. They had such a beautiful pool right in front of the sea so the sight was worth experiencing.

## The Nosecone Mold

### Design and Materials Choice
We went through a lot of different options for how to make the mold for the nosecone. The main problem with it is that it's so large (6.6" diameter, ~40" long). On top of that, whatever process we used needed to be scalable to LV4, since that's what LV3 is the test platform for.
To add to that, we needed something that would work at 350 F, the temperature that the prepreg cures at. So we couldn't use wood, machinable wax, or any common foams. We considered using aluminum, but that would be prohibitively expensive to source and machine -- that's an absurdly large piece of aluminum to machine.
The requirement for high temperature curing prepreg comes from the Mach heating LV4 will experience. (LV3 won't experience more than about 180 F. We also happen to have a lot of that material thanks to a donation from Boeing.)

We settled on using high temperature machinable foam. This is $400 for a sheet that can be cut and laminated into blocks for 3 molds or plugs.
We originally tried laminating these using weights to hold the layers together. Unfortunately the layers warped and did not fully adhere.
Later, we poured epoxy into the delaminated sections and cured it again in a vacuum bag. **It is strongly recommended that you use a vacuum bag when laminating sheets of machinable foam!** The large area of the sheets provides a much greater force than can be reasonably achieved with weights.

### Making the Plug
The first of the blocks was machined with donated time from Esco. It was sealed with high-temp epoxy, but we vacuum bagged it, which created large wrinkles and bubbles on the inside surface of the mold.
We applied wax and PVA mold release to this mold and tried laying up a single layer of CF anyways. When the mold was cooling, it contracted more than the CF. Thus, the CF pushed out on the ends of the mold, breaking off the front of the mold.

The second of the blocks was machined in the science machine shop. This was sealed with epoxy with no vacuum bag.
To avoid the problems of the last mold, the epoxy was wiped with a paper shop towel, forming a thin, rough layer.
As before, we mold-released this and laid up a 2-layer CF shell. The CF shell ended up bonding to the mold and breaking it in two during the cool-down.
This was attributed to the thin layers of wax and PVA mold release used, and the rough surface of the mold.

After testing a smaller version, The third and final block was machined on Peter McCloud's mill (a PSAS member). This was sealed with epoxy (again, no vac-bag) and mold-released.
The shape of the plug, as opposed to the mold, allowed the epoxy coating to be done by simply painting on a thick layer of epoxy and letting it flow down. This made the surface much smoother and more consistent.

### Making the Mold
The plug was coated in two thick layers of wax mold release and two layers of PVA release. The first layer of the mold was wax-free gel coat. This is a room-temp curing polyester resin which fills in/over sharp corners in plug/mold. (If you just start laying composites onto the plug, you will get voids in the surface of your mold.)
The fumes from the gel coat are extremely harmful. Anyone participating in this part of the layup should wear respirator intended to filter out volatile organic compounds as well as splash goggles.
If you can do this part of the layup under a fume hood or snorkels, do so!

#### Layup

#### Demolding

## The Nosecone
We tried two different procedures for manufacturing the nosecone.
The first was to layup in each shell simultaneously, clamp the molds together, overlap the layers of the nosecone shell, and inflate a balloon inside the mold to apply compacting pressure to the lamina.
The second was to layup two shells individually with a vacuum bag for compaction, bond the shells together via the aluminum hardware, and patch the seams with strips of CF.
The second method was successful, but labor-intensive.

### Single-Cure layup

#### Mold prep
Each mold was coated with two layers of paste wax.
The first layer was wiped on with a towel, pressing firmly to fill in any defects.
After allowing the solvent in the first layer to flash off over night.
The second layer was applied with a lighter touch, filling in any cracks in the first layer.
It's important to apply the second layer quickly, without pressing firmly.
Otherwise, the first layer can slough off as the solvent in the second layer diffuses into it.
The second layer was allowed to dry overnight.

The molds were placed together and aligned as they would be for the final layup.
They flat portions of the molds were lightly clamped together.
Registration marks were made around the perimeter of the molds and uniquely labelled.
(Each mold had marks labelled alphabetically, which corresponded to a labelled mark on the other mold.)

#### Lamination
Four sheets of 20 oz. twill weave CF were rough cut, two for each half-shell.
The stock fabric was draped over the back of the molds to check its size (roughly 48 by 12 inches).
Two sections of 1/4 inch over-expanded Nomex, 12 by 8 inches, were cut.
The 8 inch dimension must be in the over-expanded direction.

A 60 g batch of epoxy (F-2400) was spread on the inside of the molds (60 g total, averaging 30 g each).
A CF sheet was placed in each mold and pressed down with rollers.
The edges were trimmed so that the + theta side formed a 1 inch flange and the other was flush with the side of the mold.
The tip and tail edges were cut flush.
The flange was tapered to be smaller near the tip.

The mess created by the cut-off CF was a problem, but manageable.

Another 60 g batch of epoxy was mixed and spread over the 8 inch section in the tail end of the molds.
The Nomex sheets were placed in the mold and cut to have a 1.5 inch flange on the + theta side.

TODO: look up the actual flange lengths used. Finish this section on the laminations.

#### Joining
Both flanges were folded in before joining the molds.
The molds were brought together and loosely clamped. The alignment of the molds was tweaked until all the registration marks lined up.
Then, the mold was clamped more securely.
The flanges of the two shells were folded over according to the diagram.
TODO: make a diagram of the flange layers. It should already exist in my physical notes. -- Joe
A yard stick with a brush screwed to the end was used to fold over the layers near the tip of the nosecone, since that area could not be reached by hand.

We recently announced the newest Pig, Warren Kluck, and although he's been on a few shows, tonight is our first Blind Pig South Bend edition with Dougy Fresh, Pauly G, Cowboy, and Mr. Warren Kluck. We were joined by good friends, the host for the evening, Ryan Douglas (Dougy's big bro), Jeremy Nicely, and Rick Greenless.
This turned into a three hour debauchery, so we split it up into three segments for your listening pleasure.
Part One starts out with some incredible beer, Taxman's Mexican Chocolate Cake a Belgian-style dubbel, aged in bourbon barrels with cocoa nibs, cinnamon sticks and Mexican peppers. It quickly warmed our hearts and got us chatting about Untappd and how cool, or incredibly dorky it is; home brewing; Uber nightmares; deuchey beer bottle collections (for anyone over the age of 21); how much is too much for a beer; the best live music joint around, Vegetable Buddies; and The Stingy Pours, the all-star rock band that never was. . .
The debates get heated at times, but love is felt throughout. Ok, maybe it was all the high gravity beer, but we're sure you'll feel it too when you tune in.


This is one of the most complicated and misunderstood aspects to training and daily life. There is always some new method in the trend for "diets". The amount of information on this subject alone is staggering. To make matters worse, it usually ends up making things more confusing.
I like to keep my eating habits simple and easy to remember. The basic ideas I follow are from my Grandmaster, O'Sensei Richard Kim: eat a large variety of foods. If 70% of what you eat is fruit and vegetables, the rest of your diet will fall in line accordingly. While not always possible, try to eat as many fresh organic foods whenever you can. Meat is fine, just be sure to source it from reliable places that raise healthy animals accordingly.
Lastly, eat foods that make you feel good. For example, pork does not suit me well. I prefer fish, such as salmon. I feel better after I eat it, and it gives me more energy. Other people may not eat meat at all. I have met several vegetarians that like the taste of meat, but they stopped eating it because of digestive issues. Intrinsically, you know what is best for you. While it is important to look at numbers on a nutritional scale, it is better to listen to your body overall.
1) High Fructose Corn Syrup. This stuff is bad news, period. It is in everything, ranging from bread, soda pop, energy bars, and condiments. Basically in lay terms, you body recognizes it as sugar at first. It then gets mistakenly converted and stored in you cells as ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). When you put a demand on your body, it combines oxygen molecules with ATP, which in turn releases energy. The problem is this synthesized sugar can't be processed with oxygen at the time of demand. You body can't identify it. It then gets stored as a toxin, which is slowly removed by the lymphatic system. This process is much slower than your metabolism. Once there is an over abundance of this Corn Syrup in your system, it is easy to see how the body begins running an energy deficit, and is filled with a toxic and unusable energy source.
2) Hydrogenated Oils of any kind. Whether partial or full, these harmful oils are designed to have a shelf life over many years. It is frequently found in peanut butter, snack bars, and different kinds of chocolate candies. The molecularly modified oils quickly find their way into your cardiac muscles, where it can take the body up to two years to purge them. No need to elaborate any further on this nasty stuff.
3) Refined Sugar in excess. Honey is a much better alternative. Both sweeteners contain glucose and fructose. However, for sugar, in the process of manufacturing, the organic acids, protein, nitrogen elements, enzymes and vitamins in the sugar cane are destroyed, whereas honey, a natural sweetener, subjects only to minimal heating. Also, honey has certain beneficial antioxidant and antimicrobial properties which are not present in table sugar.
4) GMOs. In 30 other countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production of GMOs, because they are not considered proven safe. In the U.S. on the other hand, the FDA approved commercial production of GMOs based on studies conducted by the companies who created them and profit from their sale. Refuse to be a guinea pig for corporations that are concerned only with profits and maximum yield.
5) Any kind of pesticide. These contain harmful hormone disruptors that destroy the chemical controllers of the body. Often they lead to reproductive harm, birth defects, and cancer.
With this information in hand, keep in mind that eating perfectly all the time isn't going to happen. Avoid becoming too extreme, because that in itself can lead to other problems. It is important to enjoy your food as much as possible. If done thoughtfully, you can indeed "have your cake and eat it too!" I hope you have found this series educational and informative. Until then be well, and enjoy your training!

But you better hurry, there are only ten custom controllers available, and it's unclear if/when they'll ever be available again.
The colorfully crafted customized controllers (shown above) feature designs from Evolve, Halo 5: Guardians, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Battlefield Hardline, and more! The giveaway also features Microsoft's custom Witcher III: Wild Hunt Xbox One console, which is also showcased at their booth. You can also check out the complete set of rules and regulations regarding the competition here.


October 10-12 marked the successful implementation of the sixth workshop of IEPs "Training The Trainers on EU Project Cycle Management" in Kyiv. The training series is aimed at enabling the Ukrainian civil society participants to apply for EU funding and manage EU funded projects according to the EU Project Cycle requirements but also to pass on their knowledge to their colleagues through self-conducted trainings. It is furthermore part of IEPs ongoing work (Civic School for Sound EU Practice – CiSEP) to strengthen the capacity of Ukraine's civil society in the framework of the EU-Ukraine association process.
As not everything that is necessary to successfully apply for and run an EU funded project is obvious at first sight, especially for smaller and with regard to western funding unexperienced Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), this workshop was dedicated to "Communication and Negotiation" in this context. Under the guidance of Lithuanian Rita Naseniece, the participants worked through a balanced mixture of presentations, group work and simulations on how to communicate with donors and western partners, how to draw up a communication plan, negotiation strategies and general do's and don'ts to keep in mind. IEPs implementing project manager Martin Stein finalised the workshop by working with the group on team communication.
In addition to the normal training, this workshop was accompanied by the first of four "mini-trainings" to develop a trainer handbook for and by the participants on EU Project Cycle Management. As not all participants are taking part in this mini training, the results of the workshop were presented to and discussed with the participants and an action plan prepared to finalise the handbook until the end of the Training The Trainers in December.
The training series is organised in close cooperation with the Polissya Foundation for International and Regional Studies and supported by the German Federal Foreign Office.
The next workshop will be about "Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting" and is going to take place in Odessa from November 21-23.


For the past few months, Hybrid Turkeys has undergone an extensive search for a potential site to build a new hatching facility. After a thorough and comprehensive review, Hybrid Turkeys has announced that they will build the hatchery in Beatrice, NE. The site selection team, stated they were "impressed with the collaborative and innovative approach that both the city of Beatrice and the state of Nebraska presented to our team." The new facility will be built on a separate site from the company's existing hatchery, so that current production will not be affected.
It is expected that the new hatchery will be operational in the second half of 2017.

Happy new year! As we reflected on the year past, 2018 really seems to have marked a turning point for legal technology in Singapore. From our beginnings in 2000, where we had to work hard to convince law firms to have a website, today, hardly a day goes by without technology championing by the Courts, the Ministry of Law, the Law Society of Singapore, the Singapore Academy of Law, or some tech savvy lawyer. In 2018, "Legal Technology" became a genre in its own right.
2018 has been a busy year for us, reviewing and deep testing off-the-shelf legal technology solutions, and fine tuning them to meet Singapore compliance requirements and workflows. We also turned our attention to technology being used in more technologically advanced professional services industries, such as banking.
In the pipeline, our collaborations with technology companies and progressive law firms are focused on the co-creation of "lowest common denominator" applications which will benefit the whole legal industry, in the space of AI, blockchain and robotic automation. These are innovations which we hope will find their way to your desktop in 2019.
We are often referred to as the grandmother of legal technology. It has been a longer journey than we had planned for, and one that we are proud to have travelled. It's been 18 years!
We know none of this would have been possible without your continued engagement, and as we embark upon our 19th year, we would like to thank you for your support, your sharing, and for helping us along; we appreciate each and every one of you for being a part of our journey.

Clean-eating is now an option on Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines has teamed up with wellness brand Como Shambhala to launch curated, healthy meals onboard selected flights.
by Alison Goh / October 9, 2019
Clean eating has taken off in the past few years, as consumers become increasingly mindful of what they put into their bodies. More than salads, low-calorie diets and organic foods, today's consumers want unprocessed, sustainable and locally-sourced ingredients. Standards are sky-high, and since in-flight cuisine has always taken a cue from trends on the ground – think celebrity chefs and farm-to-table concepts – it's only natural that clean eating should influence airline menus. Just last month, Singapore Airlines teamed up with Singapore-based wellness brand Como Shambhala to launch specially curated items onboard selected flights.

The partnership was part of a larger move to increase the wellbeing of passengers. The menu revolves around healthy and well- balanced dishes, designed not just to provide the body with sustenance but also to counter the stresses of travel. This includes items such as cleansing, high-fiber tropical fruit bircher muesli, and calming and micronutrient-rich coconut poached fish in a tomato and garam masala sauce. A special ginger tea featuring cold-pressed beetroot, carrot, green apple, and turmeric also provides circulatory support within the confines of the cabin.
A number of dishes are also available for pre-ordering via Book the Cook, for first, business, and premium economy class passengers on all routes departing from Singapore. Think immunity-boosting spiced buckwheat and pumpkin pancakes (photo), and a coconut and chia pudding, which is served with fresh strawberries steeped in hibiscus flower tea – providing the
body with digestive support as well as a shot of vitamins.

Qatar Airways: Social dining
One of Qatar Airways' innovative offerings is their sharing platters, which are designed to be a social experience and are available anytime in QSuite, the world's first-ever double bed available in business class. On their European routes, their premium customers also get to enjoy meals that are the product of close collaborations with local farms and suppliers, in a bid to promote a farm-to-table approach.
Air France: For the love of French food
Air France takes French gastronomy seriously, as they know this is one aspect of the in-flight experience where they can really shine. For flights departing from Singapore in business and first class, passengers will be treated to dishes created by Singapore-based two-Michelin star chef Julien Royer, whose French fine dining restaurant Odette was ranked 18 in this year's The World's 50 Best Restaurants awards.
Qantas: The spirit of Australia
Earlier this year, Qantas bagged an astounding number of gold accolades at the annual Cellars in the Sky Awards event in London, including best overall wine cellar and best first class wine cellar. The Australian national carrier offers passengers blends that celebrate boutique and classic wine styles, grape varietals and regions. To equip their staff, they have trained over 300 cabin crew to function as onboard sommeliers.

UNSW Business School has joined the Global Network for Advanced Management, a network of top business schools committed to educating global leaders, as the only Australian representative within the Network.
Added along with the SDA Bocconi School of Management in Italy and the Strathmore Business School in Kenya, the Global Network now encompasses 32 schools on six continents. Member schools include the Yale School of Management (USA), INSEAD (France, Singapore) and the Fudan University School of Management.
By leveraging network efficiencies, using new technologies, building strong institutional and personal relationships, and operating with a minimum of bureaucracy, the Global Network is having a transformational effect on students, member schools, management education and beyond.
Each member school contributes unique academic strengths and perspectives on the highly interconnected global economy to the benefit of all participants. The three new schools represent not just geographic expansion, but also a strategic advancement for the network as a whole by bringing vital connections with the high-tech manufacturing and fashion center of Northern Italy, the fast-moving and fast-growing markets of East Africa, and the increasingly influential Asia Pacific region.
The addition of the research-oriented and tech-rich UNSW Business School provides students across the Global Network a welcome gateway to Australia's record-breaking economic growth as well as to the Asia Pacific region at large.
Tam Kar Yan, Dean of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Business School, expressed admiration for the school: "UNSW Business School is in a leading Australian university and has a strong regional and global engagement," he said.


October Summer Sun – afternoon shadow "selfie".
Summer 2016. I took both of these photos with my Blackberry Priv – it has a fabulous camera! The photos have not been modified, enhanced, or touched-up in any way. What you see is what you get!
I like taking pictures of the sun and this is one of the coolest I've taken. It was taken with my S4 Samsung phone and was simply a "point and click" event. I haven't touched up, or enhanced or edited the photo (other than crop it).

Q: How to save an image picked from a UIImagePickerController in Swift? I'm building an app where I let the user to pick an image from its photo library. I was using this code to save it.
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage, editingInfo: [String : AnyObject]?) {
    imgPicker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setValue(image, forKey: "bgImage")
}

func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(picker: UIImagePickerController) {
    imgPicker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}

I later figured out that you can't save the image with NSUserDefaults, but you can save the picked image's path, save it and load it with "if let..."
But I don't know how to do this (find the path and save it). The idea is for the user to choose the view background image, kinda like how Whatsapp does.
If I'm wrong and you can't store the path, is there any easy way to save the picked image without using online servers?

A: You can save and retrieve it using NSUserDefaults:
//Save image
let img = UIImage() //Change to be from UIPicker
let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(img)
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(data, forKey: "myImageKey")
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().synchronize()

//Get image
if let imgData = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey("myImageKey") as? NSData {
    let retrievedImg = UIImage(data: imgData)
}

Or you can read / write to file, if you prefer:
//Save image
let img = UIImage() //Change to be from UIPicker
let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(img)!
do {
    let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)[0] as String
    try data.writeToFile("\(documentsPath)myImage", options: [])

} catch {
    print("Error")
}

//Get image
do {
    let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)[0] as String
    let readData = try NSData(contentsOfFile: "\(documentsPath)myImage", options: [])
    let retreivedImage = UIImage(data: readData)
}
catch {
    print("Error")
}

Swift 3:
//Save image
let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(pickedImage)!
do {
    let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0] as String
    try data.write(to: URL(string: "\(documentsPath)/myImage")!, options: .atomic)
} catch {
    print("Error")
}

//Get image
do {
    let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0] as String
    let readData = try Data(contentsOf: URL(string: "\(documentsPath)/myImage")!)
    let retreivedImage = UIImage(data: readData)
} catch {
    print("Error")
}

A: There are two ways, one that you are describing but that is quite messy, the one I would suggest you is to take the image, turn into image data and store it in your application locally like in a sqlite database or in an array in user default. However saving that much data in user default is not a good practise. So, I would go with store it locally and I won't do it with messy sqlite codes, rather I would do it with core data.
class AddImageViewController: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {

    @IBOutlet var popUpThePickerButton: UIButton! //click on this button to appear the imagePicker
    @IBOutlet var addPictureButton: UIButton! //when this button clicked saveImage method is called and there you save the imageData wherever you want

    let picker = UIImagePickerController()
    var selectedImage : UIImage!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        picker.delegate = self
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    }

    // when popUpThePickerButton is clicked
    @IBAction func selectPictureFromPhotos(sender: UIButton) {
        picker.editing = false
        picker.sourceType = .PhotoLibrary

        presentViewController(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

    func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : AnyObject]) {
        self.selectedImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
        dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    }

    func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(picker: UIImagePickerController) {
        dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    }

// then save this image data in your database and when you want to show that image you can just turn the image data to image again

    @IBAction func saveImage(sender: UIButton) {
        let imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self.selectedImage)
        //save this image data in database
    }
}

Q: How to send a message from background *only* to popup without a tabId In a Firefox/Chrome WebExtension, when you send a message from the background script to the popup, you can't use a tabId because the popup doesn't have one.
So you have to use:
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(data)

but this message is received by all tabs also.
I want to send a message only to the popup. Is that possible?

A: Technically, this is only received by extension's pages. Normal tabs won't receive them, and to send messages to content scripts you need tabs.sendMessage.
That said, you can use extension.getViews to get the popup's window object and call something there directly.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/extension/getViews
var windows = chrome.extension.getViews({type: "popup"});
if (windows.length) {
  windows[0].something();
}

Hi my favorite readers! It's that time of year when thoughts of pumpkins, spices and all good nices come to mind. It's also the time when food manufacturers bomboard our marketplace shelves with a variety of tasty goodies. One of those goodies is pumpkin spice coffee and beverages. Instead of spending big bucks on any of these manufactured brews....make your own. It's cheap, easy and oh..so tasty.
When preparing your morning coffee brew, or espresso, place a pinch of spices on the top of the coffee. Cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg – these are the traditional holiday spices. Use any variety of spices to please your palate. Make certain to use less amounts of ginger, cloves and nutmeg since they are much more powerful than the cinnamon. I find using more cinnamon always works out best. You may find otherwise.
Simply brew your coffee as usual. The smell of coffee is always appealing. Adding the spices will add an additional pleasant aroma to the surrounding air. Who doesn't like that?
Cut up your favorite veggies. Include broccoli, carrots, onions, potatoes and a clove or two of fresh garlic. If you don't have fresh garlic, use bottled minced or garlic powder. Mix up all the veggies. Lightly coat with olive oil. Mix thoroughly to coat all veggies.
Place veggies into roasting pan. Lightly sprinkle with Italian seasoning or basil, rosemary, thyme.
Place container into 350 oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until you can easily poke a fork in to the veggies. Refrigerate leftovers for future use....like the below veggie soup.
Either open a can of prepared veggie broth. Or, use your homemade variety. Add some roasted veggies. VIOLA! There you have a quick, easy and budget-friendly way to enjoy a healthy meal.
Serve with wholegrain crackers, bread or noodles.
Quinoa is an old-world grain that has been around for centuries. My students always love seeing how it's used in dishes. It makes for a great side dish, a morning cereal, a main ingredient in stir frys and a variety of other delights. Plus, you can bake with the flour.
Quinoa contains numerous beneficial nutrients. Nutrients include fiber which aids cardiovascular and digestive health. It provides a natural appetite suppressant, to fill you up and cause you to eat less. Who can't use that?
Calcium helps maintain bone strength and density.
Copper, which helps your body absorb iron.
Zinc, which supports a healthy immune system. Do you take zinc supplements when you feel a cold coming on? Or take a hit when you have a cold to lessen symptoms? If not, you're missing out on a treasured nutrient.
Quinoa contains rich amounts of potassium, the mineral needed to help regulate heart beats, maintain a healthy blood pressure level, lower anxiety levels, prevent muscle spasms and contractions, protect against stroke – wow. Who knew all this could come out of a grain?
Experiment with quinoa. When cooked, it resembles Saturn. You know, the planet with a ring around it? The texture is pleasant, also.

John Goldman isn't your typical prop forward. He's beaten cancer twice, had heart bypass surgery, a major operation on his back and tackles trees to prepare for matches, all at the age of 75.
It's been an unlikely journey from the very beginning. In 1991, his wife encouraged him to stop shouting at rugby matches on the TV and go watch their local team play. John went along to Hendon RFC and was asked by the club chairman if he had ever played before.
Having not stepped onto a rugby pitch in over 30 years, John spent the week leading up to the match in the library, reading about the technicalities of playing in the forwards. "From the moment the final whistle went after playing a full 80 minutes I never wanted to be off a rugby pitch again," he adds.
Now that he'd found his calling, Goldman was keen to play more regularly and so made the mile journey to Mill Hill Rugby club where he made the decision to move to prop. "I soon realised at Mill Hill that if I was designed for anything then it was to be a prop so I switched to the front row and I absolutely love it."
Just three years into his new found love of the sport Goldman was diagnosed with cancer for the first time. He was forced to have part of one of his kidney's removed which kept him out the game for a few months. It was the start of a series of major illnesses and operations that he has battled for several years.
"After I came back from cancer I was cycling up a mountain in California with my son when I realised my heart was playing up. I came home and saw a doctor and it turned out I needed immediate bypass surgery to give me two nice new arteries."
The misfortune didn't end there. He had several more operations including the removal of a disc in his back. Through it all, Goldman says he couldn't wait to return to rugby. "I don't just love training for it, I love playing it and I never let the operations keep me away for too long."
He was able to make a full recovery and since that period has played an average of 22 games a season for Mill Hill 2nd XV, with the majority of them being the full 80 minutes. Not bad going considering the average age of the rest of the team is 25.
"Rugby is special because it's based on respect and integrity. No matter how hard a match is, I try and find something to enjoy that puts a smile on my face," says Goldman, who remembers one game in particular that sums up his love for the sport.
"We were playing Thurrock away and it was a miserably wet and cold day. When we arrived I saw a giant of a man go into their changing rooms and remember hoping he wasn't their prop. Of course it turned out he was."
"It was probably my toughest game but at the end we had a beer in the clubhouse. That's why I love it. Win, lose or draw I just love the camaraderie. The sport has helped me get through so much and has given me a group of friends that are like family."
Perhaps the secret to Goldman's success has been some slightly unorthodox training methods. "Sometimes when I'm walking the dog and no one is around I tackle some of the trees in the park. I feel like it prepares my body for the matches every week."
While Goldman might have perfected his tackling technique, his try-scoring may still need a little work. "I've never scored," he reveals. "I suppose as a prop I disagree with the idea of it in principle. I do my job and let the others get on with the fancy stuff."
A remarkable journey and proof that it's never too late to pick up the game.

The problems faced by small businesses due to late payments have been very much in the news lately, as a business owner you are very aware of the importance of getting paid on time and that payment delays can seriously disrupt cash flow. When searching for ways to speed up payment, keep in mind that the most effective solutions are often the most simple. The invoice you send your customer is, hands down, the most important communication in regards to getting paid. With a few simple adjustments and additions to your invoices, you can actually speed payment from customers and increase your chances of getting paid.
Good manners are always important, but when it comes to invoicing, minding your manners can actually increase the probability of getting paid, by adding 'please' or 'thank you' to an invoice you can improve that invoice's likelihood of getting paid by more than 5%.
Make it a habit to ask all of your customers what they require on invoices. It will take some time upfront to make these inquiries, but you will save time and money down the line if you don't need to re-invoice the customer due to missing information.
How long do you wait to invoice?
The longer you wait to send your invoices out to your clients the longer you will have to wait to receive payment from your client. A week's delay of sending the invoice to your client would double the amount of time you would need to wait to receive payment. So, the earlier you send out your clients invoice the more likely you are to receive payment faster.
This can be a percentage of the total invoice amount, which often adds up for clients as a cost advantage. For example, a 2% discount on early payment may entice a client to pay the invoice earlier.
To encourage earlier payments, you may want to add a percentage fee for late payments (e.g. a 2% fee to invoices not paid within 15 days). These additional costs for being behind on payment can have a large enough impact on your client's bottom line to motivate a speedy turnaround.
Like the penalty tip, negative reinforcement has to be deployed in certain situations. The goal is to highlight that a working relationship involves transactions where work and payment go hand-in-hand.
If the client is providing long-term work, a retainer (.doc) will allow the client to know exactly how much should be paid and when. This helps them manage their budget more effectively, and it may get you paid quicker.
If your clients have various options for payment – PayPal, credit and debit card, cheque, bank transfers, etc. – they'll be more likely to pay and pay faster, particularly online.
The best way to avoid having delinquent accounts and increase the speed of collections is to send out a friendly reminder email to your clients that their invoice is due the next day. It's much better than telling them they are late at making a payment. It can be automated with software and significantly reduces the likelihood of that account becoming delinquent.
In nearly all aspects of business, the follow-up will be used time and time again. Odds are you will need to follow up multiple times with multiple clients.
Being a small business owner is often a stressful line of work. The last thing you want is to get caught up chasing down clients who are late on payments when you need to be focusing on other aspects of your business.


ignorantly claims that the followers of the mystery cults thought like ancient philosophers such as Plutarch.
To anyone who has read Doherty's book it would appear Ehrman was skimming it in extreme haste or tackling it very late at night and was simply too tired to read more than a few lines here and there. Doherty in fact makes it as clear as day that Platonism was only one of several other major philosophies of the day, and that the adherents of the mystery cults did NOT think like ancient philosophers such as Plutarch.
So why does Dr Ehrman write that Earl Doherty claims the very opposite of what he fully, in considerable detail, explains?
Following are the accusations of Dr Ehrman. I insert the real statements by Doherty that belie Ehrman's claims.
It is true that Plato and his followers had a certain view of reality where, roughly speaking, this material world is but a reflection of the world of "forms." But Platonism was simply one of the ancient philosophies popular at the time of Christianity. Also popular was Stoicism, with a completely different, nondualistic sense of the world; Stoicism lacked the notion that this realm is an imitation of the higher realm. So too did Epicureanism, which thought in fairly modern fashion that the material world is all there is. . . .
When, in his second edition, Doherty admits that we do not know what the followers of the mystery cults thought, he is absolutely correct. We do not know. But he then asserts that they thought like the later Platonist Plutarch. . . .
And it is highly unlikely that adherents of the mystery cults (even if we could lump them all together) thought like one of the greatest intellectuals of their day (Plutarch). Very rarely do common people think about the world the way upper-class, highly educated, elite philosophers do. Would you say that your understanding of how language works matches the views of Wittgenstein? Or that your understanding of political power is that of Foucault?
In the case of someone like Plutarch there is, in fact, convincing counterevidence. Philosophers like Plutarch commonly took on the task of explaining away popular beliefs by allegorizing them, to show that despite what average people naively believed, for example, about the gods and the myths told about them, these tales held deeper philosophical truths. The entire enterprise of philosophical reflection on ancient mythology was rooted precisely in the widely accepted fact that common people did not look at the world, or its myths, in the same way the philosophers did. Elite philosophers tried to show that the myths accepted by others were emblematic of deeper spiritual truths.
But Doherty writes: This is highly esoteric stuff . . . It tells us that in philosophical circles, from the time of Plutarch, an application of the myths to a primordial earth setting was no longer in vogue. This may or may not give us a definite picture of how all the devotees of the cults looked upon such things . . .
How does one explain Ehrman's claims about Doherty's argument that are so diametrically the very opposite of what Doherty writes?

Errorman goes so far as to accuse her of making stuff up in his book – that's libel and defamation, which Errorman could be sued for. Acharya proves him not just wrong, but shows just how sloppy and egregious Errorman was. He owes her an apology and a retraction.
Bart Errorman's new book against mythicism is a "hack job" as Dr. Price says in Acharya's blog. But I don't think he accused Doherty or anyone else of making stuff up. It seems he made sloppy and egregious errors with Doherty too though.
Maybe it's simply the case that "a sincere, honest and objective critique of mythicism" is not as possible as you'd like to think. Those that have thought about, or even attempted one may have come to realize that the case for historicism is dismally deficient, and that much of mythicism's case has a strength which cannot be easily undermined. Maybe "hack jobs" are the only avenue.
What troubles me the most is that Ehrman could possibly think and claim that I, despite being an agenda-driven Christianity-hater and maniac mythicist, could research and write about ancient philosophy and cosmology in connection with Christian origins in an 800-page tome, and still be guilty of thinking that there was only one philosophy in the ancient world, one way of viewing the workings of the universe. What kind of a deranged idiot does he truly take me for?
Of course, anyone who has read my books and website, followed me on internet DBs, or who knows anything about ancient philosophy themselves, would have to take this for what it is: Ehrman going utterly off the deep end. Unfortunately, much of Ehrman's 'popular' readership is not going to be in a position to recognize this, and quite willing to believe the worst about this charlatan..
However, I suspect that a lot more mainstream scholars are actually going to delve into his book (if only to catch up on their own dismal knowledge about mythicism), and many of them are going to smell something rotten in Denmark. Many of them too, I equally suspect, frequent DBs, often anonymously, and will encounter the furor being raised at Ehrman's disreputable antics. This is not going to do the historicism cause any favor. As for those for whom it will harm my own reputation, well, they were already ignorant and biased against me anyway.
I'll go out on a limb here and wonder if this is Danish? From someone put out by my "something is rotten in Denmark" phrase? Without realizing it's a quote from Hamlet and is not a denigration of either Denmark or the Danes?
It's a pingback from a Swedish blog.
