A payment processing company with Las Vegas connections has been designated the "Official Credit Card Processing Company of the Las Vegas Raiders and Allegiant Stadium" and has been named a stadium sponsor.
Shift4 Payments Inc., based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, with a major presence in Las Vegas, received the designation Wednesday, according to releases from the company and the team.
Shift4 Payments is proud to be named the Official Credit Card Processing Company of the Las Vegas @Raiders! 🏈 💳 #NFL #RaiderNation #Raiders https://t.co/CgSZOWUlRN

"When the Raiders announced they were moving to Las Vegas and a new stadium was being built, it was very important for us to be a part of it," said Shift4 CEO Jared Isaacman in an interview.
The terms of Shift4's sponsorship agreement were not disclosed, but the company is expected to have a branded club space within the stadium and digital marketing would occur in the stadium on game days. The company also will have prominent logo placement around the venue; television, print and radio advertising; and promotional events supporting the local business community.
All payment transactions at Allegiant Stadium will use Shift4's fully integrated suite of secure payment technologies including QR Pay and SkyTab mobile devices.
Isaacman said the company's cutting-edge technology will provide contactless transactions and enhance the fan experience for concession transactions within the stadium during games and other events.
Most Las Vegans have already used Shift4's technology since half the Strip's properties use the system. Isaacman said about 35 percent of the hotels and restaurants in the United States use some form of Shift4 payment technology and more than $200 billion a year in transactions are completed with it.
"While we do have processing at other stadiums around the country, I can't think of one that will be more important to us than our hometown one, the new Raiders' stadium," Isaacman said.
Raiders President Marc Badain, in a release, said the team is happy to have Shift4 as a sponsor.
"Because Allegiant Stadium has been designed to be an unparalleled, state-of-the-art facility, we need to bring in reliable partners who can help us deliver an incredibly fun and easy experience to our fans and Shift4 certainly fits that bill," Badain said. "We hope our visitors and valued merchants will be especially impressed with Shift4's contactless and mobile payment technology that makes stadium purchases so fast and easy. Additionally, the fact that Shift4 Payments is Las Vegas-based is certainly a plus."

Belle Vue's Knock Out Cup Quarter Final comes to a head on Monday, June 18 when the Rentruck Aces take on Wolverhampton in the Black Country, where they will defend a hefty 24-point lead.
The Midlanders were outclassed in the Mancunian leg of the battle back in May, going down 57-33 at the National Speedway Stadium and leaving themselves with a mountain to climb at Monmore.
But even despite their sizeable advantage, the Rentruck Aces are far from complacent about the situation and are keeping in mind the strength of the Parrys International Wolves at home.
New Belle Vue signing Jason Garrity says he's determined to prove the club management's faith in him is not misplaced and has affirmed his belief that the men from Manchester can carry through.
He said: "I feel I've been riding well this year, but only getting on the bike once or twice a week just isn't enough and so I'm very grateful to Belle Vue for giving me the chance to ride for the club.
"I want to prove to everyone that I'm capable and it goes without saying that I'm well up for challenge, and starting things off at Wolverhampton couldn't have been a better meeting for me.
"It's a technical track compared to Belle Vue so I've sent a couple of my engines off to get them prepped purposefully for this and Rye House because I want to do my best for the team.
The Rentruck Aces resume their travels after Monmore with a visit to Rye House on Wednesday June 20 before the Cool Running Colts face Birmingham at home on Friday June 22.
Tickets for the National League home meeting are now available online at www.bellevueaces.co and at the stadium box office on race night.

Eagle Ridge GM | Driving | 5 'Hot Spots' for Older Drivers
5 'Hot Spots' for Older Drivers
Driving Apr 17th, 2014
Over 34 million motorists age 65 and older are licensed to drive in North America. Generally, they're some of the safest drivers on the road. However, senior drivers are more likely to be involved in certain types of accidents than other motorists, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. They also have the second highest rate for deadly crashes among all age groups. Here are the five most dangerous driving situations for seniors — and how to stay safe when encountering them.
1. Merging
The most common error made among senior drivers is failing to yield the right-of-way. Drivers 70 to 79 are likely able to see another vehicle but misjudge whether there's time to merge into a lane. Drivers 80 and older, meanwhile, mostly fail to see the other vehicle. Stiff joints may make it more difficult for senior drivers to turn their heads to check for vehicles while changing lanes or merging into traffic. Installing a fish-eye mirror on your side mirrors can increase your field of vision.
2. Intersections
The majority of accidents involving senior drivers happen at intersections with stop signs or traffic lights. Many older drivers either don't see the light change or don't notice the traffic signs — or they can't stop in time because of slow reflexes. Staying safe: The best way for senior drivers to stay safe in or near intersections is to scan the scene. Drivers should survey both sides of the road with their eyes — not by turning their heads — when approaching intersections, private drives and retail stores to look for cars and pedestrians. Make sure to tilt your view up a little to look for changing stoplights, instead of looking straight ahead at the car in front of you.
3. Driving at dusk
Many senior drivers may know to stay off the road at night because dimly lit roads and the glare of oncoming headlights make it difficult to see. However, driving at dusk is
equally dangerous. "The limited light makes it difficult to judge distance and spot obstacles in the road," says Dr. Sandy Feldman, an ophthalmologist in San Diego. The gray area between the light fading on the horizon and the dark pavement often makes it difficult for weakened eyes to adjust to the changes in light. Consequently, it's harder to spot cars and traffic signals, which can lead to confusion and trigger panic and poor decision-making. Staying safe: If you can't avoid driving at dusk or at night, talk to your ophthalmologist about antireflective lenses, which may make it easier to see through the glare of oncoming headlights and adapt to sudden changes in light.
4. Driving below the speed limit
Some seniors who are nervous behind the wheel want to go slower, thinking they're safer. But Brian Meyer, a senior traffic school instructor, says going too slow is just as risky as speeding. That's because driving below the posted speed limit increases the possibility of getting rear-ended or becoming the target of another driver's road rage. Meyer says agitated drivers may cut off slower drivers to get around them or tailgate closely behind the slower driver, bumping up the chances of an accident. "They may also become so enraged that they attempt to pass you and lose control," Meyer says. Staying safe: If you're not comfortable traveling at the posted minimum speed limit, the best thing to do is get off the road. As an alternative, don't drive during rush hour. "Run errands during the day, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the time when the roads are typically the most quiet," suggests Meyer.
5. Left turns
Statistically, the average motorist could drive 1 billion miles — the distance from Earth to Jupiter and back — before getting into an accident that involves a right-hand turn, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. That's because right hand turns generally don't require the driver to pay attention to as many things as left turns. However, when making a lefthand turn the odds are not nearly as good. Drivers need to look for vehicles, pedestrians, animals and other obstacles in the road in both directions, which means they also have to judge whether it's safe to turn from two directions. Left-turn accidents commonly result in one of the drivers being "T boned," or hit in the middle. These collisons tend to be more serious because the impact is from the side where there is less protection.

A lawyer may not disclose information relating to a client's representation in response to
a negative online review, but may respond with a general statement that the lawyer is not
permitted to respond as the lawyer would wish, but that the online review is neither fair nor
accurate.
RPC:
Preamble, 4-1.6(c)
Los Angeles County 525; Nassau County 2016-01; New York State 1032;
Pennsylvania 2014-200; Texas 622; West Virginia 2015-02
People v. Isaac, 470 P.3d 837 (Colo. O.P.D.J. 2016); People v. Underhill, 2015
WL 4944102 (Colo. O.P.D.J. Aug. 12, 2015); In re Skinner, 740 S.E.2d 171 (Ga.
A member of The Florida Bar has requested an advisory ethics opinion. The operative
facts as presented in the inquiring attorney's letter are as follows:
The inquirer received a negative online review and would like to respond to the former
client's negative review that the inquirer "took her money and ran" by using the language
suggested in Texas Ethics Opinion 662 and adding an objectively verifiable truthful statement
that the Court entered an order authorizing the inquirer to withdraw as counsel for the former
client. The inquirer believes this added language is proportional and restrained, consistent with
the Texas Ethics Opinion, directly addressed the allegations of the former client, and should be
permissible under the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar and the First Amendment.
Rule 4-1.6(c) explains when a lawyer may reveal confidential information and states:
(c) When Lawyer May Reveal Information. A lawyer may reveal
confidential information to the extent the lawyer reasonably believes necessary:
(1) to serve the client's interest unless it is information the client specifically
requires not to be disclosed;
(2) to establish a claim or defense on behalf of the lawyer in a controversy
between the lawyer and client;
(3) to establish a defense to a criminal charge or civil claim against the
lawyer based on conduct in which the client was involved;
(4) to respond to allegations in any proceeding concerning the lawyer's
representation of the client;
(5) to comply with the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar; or
(6) to detect and resolve conflicts of interest between lawyers in different
firms arising from the lawyer's change of employment or from changes in the
composition or ownership of a firm, but only if the revealed information would
not compromise the attorney-client privilege or otherwise prejudice the client.
The comment to the rule explains:
A fundamental principle in the client-lawyer relationship is that, in the
absence of the client's informed consent, the lawyer must not reveal information
relating to the representation…The confidentiality rule applies not merely to
matters communicated in confidence by the client but also to all information
relating to the representation, whatever its source. A lawyer may not disclose
confidential information except as authorized or required by the Rules Regulating
The Florida Bar or by law.
In addition, the last paragraph of the comment specifically addresses the lawyer's duty of
confidentiality to former clients and explains that the duty of confidentiality continues after the
client-lawyer relationship has terminated.
A number of jurisdictions have looked at the issue of responding to negative online
reviews. A majority conclude that a lawyer may not disclose confidential information in
responding to online reviews. See Los Angeles County Ethics Opinion 525 (an attorney can
publicly respond to a former client's disparaging comments only if the attorney's response does
not disclose confidential information, the attorney does not respond in a manner that will injure
the former client in a matter involving the former representation, and the attorney's response is
proportionate and restrained); Nassau County Ethics Opinion 2016-01 (a lawyer may not
disclose a former client's confidential information solely to respond to criticism of the lawyer
posted on the Internet or a website by a relative of the former client or by the former client
himself); New York State Ethics Opinion 1032 (a lawyer may not disclose confidential
information just to respond to online criticism by the client on a rating site; the "self-defense"
exception to confidentiality does not apply to informal criticism where there is no actual or
threatened proceeding against the lawyer); Pennsylvania Ethics Opinion 2014-200 (a lawyer may
not give detailed response to online criticism of the lawyer by a client, may just ignore the online
criticism; the self-defense exception is not triggered by a negative online review); West Virginia
Legal Ethics Opinion 2015-02 (a lawyer may respond to positive or negative online reviews, but
may not disclose confidential client information while doing so); People v. Underhill, 2015 WL
4944102 (Colo. O.P.D.J. Aug. 12, 2015) (a lawyer was suspended 18 months for responding to
clients' online criticism by posting confidential and sensitive information about the clients);
People v. Isaac, 470 P.3d 837 (Colo. O.P.D.J. 2016)( a lawyer was given a six-month suspension
with requirement to apply for reinstatement for responding to online reviews of former clients
when the lawyer had revealed confidential information including the criminal charges made
against clients, that client wrote a check that had bounced, and that client committed other
unrelated felonies); In re Skinner, 740 S.E.2d 171 (Ga. 2013)(the Supreme Court of Georgia
rejected a petition for voluntary discipline seeking a public reprimand for lawyer's violation of
the confidentiality rule by disclosing confidential client information on the Internet in response
to client's negative reviews of lawyer, citing lack of information about the violation in the
record).
In the instant inquiry, the inquirer does not meet an exception to confidentiality under 41.6(c). Because confidentiality covers all information regarding the representation, whatever the
source, and because this duty applies to former as well as current clients, the inquirer must not
disclose confidential information without the client's informed consent.
The preamble to Chapter 4 of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar defines informed
consent as "the agreement by a person to a proposed course of conduct after the lawyer has
communicated adequate information and explanation about the material risks of and reasonably
available alternatives to the proposed course of conduct."
Therefore, if the inquirer chooses to respond to the negative online review and the
inquirer does not obtain the former client's informed consent to reveal confidential information,
the inquirer must not reveal confidential information regarding the representation, but must only
respond in a general way, such as that the inquirer disagrees with the client's statements. The
inquirer should not disclose that the court entered an order allowing the inquirer to withdraw
because that is information relating to the client's representation and the client did not give
informed consent for the inquirer to disclose.
The inquirer refers to Texas Ethics Opinion 622. That opinion explains that a lawyer may
not respond to client's negative internet review if the response discloses confidential
information. The opinion gives an example of a proportional and restrained response that does
not reveal any confidential information:
A lawyer's duty to keep client confidences has few exceptions and in an
abundance of caution I do not feel at liberty to respond in a point by point fashion

It was hard to miss the ads for Arcturus Books in the early days, when I took my first steps into the pool of ufology. Overwhelmed with information as I was, I never thought to contact them or get a copy of their catalogue: magazines, 'zines, newsletters and bulletin board postings (remember the long-gone days of BBS?) provided a dizzying mix of information where abduction claims, tales of underground bases and straight-out conspiracy theory shared the cramped pages like passengers on a subway train during rush hour.
It was much later that Joan Jeffers – a devoted Pennsylvanian researcher of UFO and related phenomena – told me to get a hold of Bob Girard, saying he could find any book or periodical I might remember from the early days of sauceriana, or even material from other countries. Oddly enough, I was sort of in touch with Bob already. His former partner, the late Ron Bonds, had set up Illuminet Press expressing an interest in publishing my translation of Salvador Freixedo's "Visionaries, mystics and contactees", a great introduction to the Spanish Jesuit's vast body of work on the paranormal. Bob's wife Monica provided the cover art for the project, so when I picked up the phone to call Arcturus, no introduction was really necessary.

I spoke for hours with Bob that first time. What I'd been told was true – he knew all the corners, light and dark, of the paranormal community, current and past – and an encyclopedic recollection of old books. We spoke at length about his own work, "Futureman", a dystopic view on the ultimate fate of humankind if the age of abductions proved true. Disturbing reading, but written in a most insightful style.
So it was that Bob helped me rebuild my collection of UFO books, which had been lost over the course of years, some lost over the course of international moves and others forsaken as new interests commanded my attention. Getting into "new" materials was never difficult thanks to Bob's reviews, which made the Arcturus Books catalogue a joy to read – probably more so than a number of newsstand offerings available at the moment! Some descriptions are etched in my mind, like an old samizdat whose cover "depicted a hayseed peeing into a pond with a flying saucer hovering overhead" – I'm paraphrasing here, but I still smile at the laughter the description caused in me at the time.
Some reviews were at the other end of the spectrum: scathing indictments of the subject matter and sometimes the author. Words that could either make you want to order the book to see if such an assessment was warranted, or enough to make one turn the page and hope for better.
1993 saw the birth of my first newsletter on "UFOs in Latin America and Spain" and Bob Girard was pleased to add it to Arcturus's offerings, cautioning me not to charge too much for it, since "mystics never have any money". The price point must've been right, as SAMIZDAT (as it was called) became a strong seller for Arcturus over a time frame of five years. When I announced that I the little newsletter was folding (its news stories rendered stale by the Internet), I told him I intended to come back with a new idea. "Whatever you do, make sure it's good!" he said, and INEXPLICATA came out within months, available in print format for many years before the same situation – the immediacy offered by electronic sources – forced it to migrate to the web, where it has remained since 2003.
We didn't see eye to eye on everything, though. The Chupacabras Diaries, my initial offering on Puerto Rico's paranormal predator, didn't really meet his approval. Bob thought the correct approach to take should have been a dismissive one. He particularly disliked a chapter bearing the title "It's In the Trees- It's Coming!" – a homage to Jacques Torneur's The Night of the Demon (1957). Now you're part of the problem, I believe he said. However, he gladly accepted my self-published copies of TCD and sold them through Arcturus to a world that was only just starting to hear about the creature's exploits, way before it became a media phenomenon.
When people ask me where I obtained my knowledge of book publishing, having never worked in the industry, I always say it was thanks to those long telephone sessions with Bob Girard. The ins and outs of the publishing world were as familiar to him as the dark corridors of the paranormal. A good and knowledgeable friend who richly deserves to be remembered as a 20th century Renaissance man.

Greetings Fellow Anomalists!
This past half year or so has been a tremendously exciting time for me and the Anomaly Archives. We've been processing our largest ever, donated personal collection (The Bob Girard Collection), while juggling multiple collections room to room during a much-appreciated tile-flooring makeover. We've turned this incredibly chaotic situation into a momentous opportunity for re-organization of the collection, including the weeding of hundreds of duplicates (and some less than anomalous literature) for upcoming Public Education, Outreach, and Fundraising Sales we are planning to hold later this year. We've added a New Advisory Board member, my friend Chris "Fritz" Jahnke, who has helped me implement a new much-needed Online Catalog. And we have so much more planned for the rest of the year.
Membership Drive
All of these great changes are just some of the reasons you should Support the Anomaly Archives Community and take part in our Membership Drive! We need your help to continue our important historical work Preserving the Archives of UFO and Paranormal Research Collections as well as our public education efforts providing a Lending Library, Access to Rare Reference Research Materials, Monthly Public Meetings for a space to discuss all things anomalous, Free Lectures from leading thinkers & researchers, and so much more!

Project SMiles
I've intended to post to the Anomaly Archives website on a much more regular basis, giving folks more regular updates on news and information relevant to the materials housed within our growing collections. That will be part of a concerted effort to emphasize the personal aspect of the Archives as a reflection and extension of my own ideas-about and interests-in UFOs & related phenomena. As I post updates about the materials housed in the collections, I'll also be providing commentary while drawing connections between current news and events with the material in the collections. For years I've slowly and quietly been working on my own book on the UFO subject. Much of what I want to write about is a part of the Archives because a large part of its foundation comes from my own personal quest for knowledge on the subject. So anything I write will naturally be based upon the materials contained in the Archives. So as I hunker-down to write this book I will also accelerate the cataloging and chronicling of the information contained within the physical and virtual files of the Anomaly Archives. So expect more frequent posts in the near future.
1990's Alt-Media Zine-Scene
James Wesley Nations
Ever since confirming that we would be receiving the Bob Girard Collection, I've been in a deeply reflective mood. The interview I did with Kenn Thomas for Steamshovel Press about The Legacy of Bob Girard, really got me reminiscing about the 1990's Alt-Media Zine-Scene and the part played by Robert and the many friends I made through the self-publishing community. The Zine-Scene connected a lot of people together including me and my inspiration for exploring the world of alternative media zine publishing. That inspiring friend was Wes Nations (Files / Donated Collection) who published Crash Collusion magazine. Crash Collusion provided entrance to an even wider weirder world of fringe Fortean thinkers and researchers and ultimately to Girard's global network facilitated by his Arcturus Book Service.
Just after Thanksgiving, on the heels of receiving the Girard Collection, I learned that Wesley Nations had passed away. I'm still processing that… In the meantime you should read Loren Coleman's obit for Wes: "From UFOs to Johnny Vagabond, Wes Nations Takes His Final Trek."
Origins of the Archives
A significant portion of the thousand or so books that made up my foundational donation to the Anomaly Archives back in 2003 was the result of having acquired a portion of Wesley Nations' voluminous collection which he split between me and John Carter. Wes gave away most of his fringe collection in the mid-90s when he moved from Austin to Berkeley. John Carter was an author and co-editor of Crash Collusion who later donated his own collection to the Anomaly Archives. Thus Wes Nations' collection of fringe materials, separated / torn asunder in the mid-90s, was reunited in 2005 and helped form the foundational Anomaly Archives donations. So the Anomaly Archives owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to two different significant figures within the Alt-Media Zine-Scene from the seminal early-internet era of the 1990s: Wesley Nations and Bob Girard. We plan on regularly highlighting both of them, their contributions to the Rise of Alternative DIY Media, and there Foundational Collections.
– See a Preview of the Zine-Scene Exhibit HERE –
All this reminiscing, while processing the personal accumulated collections of these Important Fringe / Esoteric Seekers, and watching so many others passing away… inevitably gives us pause and forces us to think deeply about the potential for lost history and the need for ensuring a lasting legacy. The authors, investigators, and researchers whose books and files find there way to the Anomaly Archives will help preserve past research and facilitate future investigations.
Help us lay the archival foundation for future seekers to continue the search for insight into the marvels of the anomalous. If you are a Fellow Researcher or Seeker who has amassed a significant collection of books or files on any of the wide range of subjects covered within the Anomaly Archives, then we want to hear from you. We are trying to create an active and updated Anomaly Collections Directory and to actively help those with important collections find dedicated permanent homes for their materials. Contact us for more details.

UFO Research in 2015
History is filled with frustrations, disappointments, and lost opportunities. From embarrassing misidentifications and pronouncements to deliberate hoaxes by scam artists, all of these things have vexed legitimate UFO and Paranormal Research. This past few months my attention has been drawn to UFOlogy's latest bugaboo. It's been percolating through the UFO community since late 2011; rumors that someone had found "smoking-gun" evidence in the form of photographic slides showing an alien body from the infamous Roswell, New Mexico 1947 crashed-whatsit. As I watched with increasing concern, the carnival sideshow ramped up its PR machine, and suddenly I found myself a fly on the social media wall of a wonderful group of skeptics who looked destined to burst the bubble of the believers. And that's exactly what they did, and in record time!
You can connect the dots about the (NOT) Roswell Slides here on our Anomaly Archives > Roswell Slides Resource Page, or at the website of the group that cracked the case: RSRG – Roswell Slides Research Group @ www.RoswellSlides.com
Some of the best and most recent in-depth articles and interviews on the saga include:

Project Core: Deep Exploration of Paranormal Experience Data www.ProjectCore.net
Project CORE was a massive online survey asking questions and gathering data of those reporting "paranormal" experience. Questions ranged from psychological, and physiological data to ancestral heritage and outlier data. The questions asked by the survey were comprised of questions submitted by all Project CORE members, and then as a team questions were edited, subtracted and added until we arrived at the final version that was ultimately used.Participants were asked to give written account of their experience(s), and there was a written stipulation of the survey page: The survey required complete, raw honesty in relating the experiences. No matter how utterly bizarre or self-negating those experiences may have been. We also asked that the accounts submitted not be edited, sanitized, nor derived from hypnotic regression.
The survey actively collected data via the internet from participants over the course of a full calendar year, and the survey was widely promoted on social media, message boards, and podcasts. After data gathering, the work presented here in it's final form comprises nearly 2 years worth of analysis and discussion between team members.

Anomalous Experiencer Survey Project – COMING SOON!
The Anomaly Archives holds monthly meetings (usually) on the Fourth Saturday of each month. Our most recent meeting was this past Saturday, May 23rd.
To be kept informed about these meeetings contact SMiles Lewis or Mark Muecke via email for updates.
The meetings are FREE and held from 1-4pm at the INACS / Anomaly Archives headquarters located in North West Austin, just past the intersections of Research and Technology Boulevards (see end of page for detailed directions):
12593 Research Blvd., Suite 302, Austin, Texas 78759
Previous Meeting… 5/23/2015
At last Saturday's meeting I spent most of the time going over the (NOT) Roswell Slides Saga, using our onsite resource page as a guide for discussion about this ongoing situation. The presentation was well received and no one seemed convinced that the body shown in the "Alien Slides" was anything other than an unusual looking human child. We all expressed astonishment at how far this farce had progressed and wondered how anyone could still be perplexed by the "alien-ness" of the mummified child's remains.
Alex Jones in the Animated Film Waking Life
Afterwards, we watched a recent video from Austin's own Alex Jones, called "Something Big Is About To Happen" that represents one of the very few times he has publicly talked about his claim of a lifetime of precognitive visions. Most people aren't aware of the two previous times he has spoken out about his experiences; first in 2003 and then again in 2006. I reported on this after the second time in 2006, but few people know about his claims. He has always been a highly controversial figure who is widely perceived by his critics as making repeated outrageous and unsubstantiated claims as well as numerous failed predictions. So for many, this recent departure from his usual rants may come as a surprise. Nevertheless, this recent video plea from him may signal a new direction for his rapidly growing media empire. Just a few years ago he purchased Weird magazine from Russell Dowden (who currently publishes RockStar magazine) before employing Russ to help launch his InfoWars magazine. Alex had said publicly that he intended to re-launch Weird in the future, so perhaps this is Alex's opening salvo before he opens a new front and tries to dominate the Paranormal Market as he has done with the Conspiracy Market. He's certainly become a fixture within the Coast to Coast AM radio show community, which he had largely panned or ignored previously in the late 90s to early 2000s. Time will tell…
Next Meeting: 6/27/2015
Please make plans to attend next month's Anomaly Archives Meeting (4th Saturdays of Every Month) at the Anomaly Archives / INACS "Mind Quarters / Nerve Center" … we look forward to meeting and talking with all of you!

DIRECTIONS to The Anomaly Archives
It's a little tricky to find the first time, so here are the directions:
If you're heading northwest on Research/183 from I-35, Mopac or 360, exit 183 at the Oak Knoll exit, pass through the light at Oak Knoll, and stay on the access road heading north. The next side street off the 183 access road will be Technology Blvd; do not turn on Technology. Immediately after you pass Technology, there will be a driveway on your right (the only one in that area) — Exit into that driveway. There will be a sign overhead for "Forest Plaza." After you pull in, you'll have no choice but to go to the left into Forest Plaza. Our building is the back left building within the complex — Suite 302. If you're heading south on Research/183, you also exit at Oak Knoll, but take the u-turn just before you get to Oak Knoll, get over the right on the northbound access road, and prepare to make the right immediately after Technology Blvd. as in the directions above.

Q: Javascript - Set interval for each array value. setinterval, array, foreach I'm trying to get each array link on some interval.
For example: I get first link, wait for 30 seconds, next link, wait for 30 seconds another link etc.
Here is my code:
var urls = [ 'http://mylink1','http://mylink2','http://mylink3','http://mylink4'];

setInterval(function(){
        urls.forEach(function(entry){
            console.log(entry);
            ajaxd(entry);
            console.log("merge pana aici");
        });
    },30000);

function ajaxd(my_url) {
    $.ajax({
        type : "POST",
        url : my_url,
        success : function(msg) {
            console.log(my_url);
        }
    });
}

And the problem is, after 30 seconds I get all the links. Not first value, wait for 30 seconds, next value and so on..

A: Making a foreach will iterate through all the values in the array instantly after the interval.
A better solution is not to iterate...
e.g
var counter = 0;

setInterval(function(){
  if(counter < url.length){
    ajaxd(url[counter]);
    counter++;
  }else
    return;
}, 30000);

A: EDIT Code updated to cause the loop to repeat.
(function() {

  var urls = ['http://mylink1', 'http://mylink2',
              'http://mylink3', 'http://mylink4'];

  // Start off at the first element.
  var idx = 0;
  var len = urls.length;

  // Do the next link
  function doNext() {
    var entry = urls[idx];

    console.log(idx + ":" + entry);
    //ajaxd(entry);

    idx++;
    console.log([idx, len]);
    if (idx < len) {
      // Don't do anything special
    }  else {
      // Reset the counter
      idx = 0;
    }
    setTimeout(doNext, 300);      }

  // And the code needs kicked off somewhere
  doNext();

}());//end of function

A: If you still want to use forEach to loop the array you can use it with setTimeout not with setInterval.
var urls = ['http://mylink1', 'http://mylink2', 'http://mylink3', 'http://mylink4'],
    interval = 2000, //  = 2s
    increment = 1;

urls.forEach(function(url) {
  var runner = setTimeout(function() {
    // Do your stuff.
    console.log(url);

    clearTimeout(runner);
  }, interval * increment);

  increment = increment + 1;
});

A: In your closure you use a for loop to request all the items at once.

The Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association (JHTA) on Wednesday revealed that several resorts have been receiving queries from potential visitors about safety measures at the facilities since an investigative story published in the international media outlined incidents of sexual assault of several American tourists at some of the country's leading resorts.
In an interview with RJR News Wednesday afternoon, JHTA President Omar Robinson disclosed that it was too early to say whether the hotel sector will suffer any fallout.
He said would-be visitors have been expressing concern, however, so far, the hotels have been able to successfully convince the visitors that the hotel environment is safe and have been able to keep those bookings.
Mr. Robinson disclosed that the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) has also been in touch with stakeholders in respective markets to allay security concerns.
"With almost 4.3 million visitors last year, crimes against visitors is relatively low and we still pride ourself on that. We have a point zero-one (0.01) per cent incident rate," he noted.
According to a report in American newspaper USA Today, 78 Americans were raped at resorts in Jamaica between 2011 and last year.
Mr. Robinson has denied claims that there are attempts by hotels to cover up instances of tourists being assaulted.
He insisted that while the incidents are of a sensitive nature and the hotel sector tries to show care by protecting the identity of a victim, matters are usually reported to the relevant authorities.

PieGram - send someone a pie.
Need a perfect, unique gift? Look no further than PieGram. I had no idea this existed, much less that it's a fine local business from Milwaukee.
PieGrams are made with love in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at Honeypie Cafe. We make our mini pies in small batches, by hand with locally and regionally sourced ingredients. PieGrams are shipped out on Mondays and Wednesdays via the United States Postal Service Two-Day Priority mail. We can ship anywhere in the continental U.S. PieGrams can also be purchased in person at our store in Milwaukee if you need one right away.
Check the PieGram site for full details.
I read last night (in an article I don't have time to find) that to make sure the pies are destroyed in the mail, they made pies, put them in the trunk of their car and drove around for a few days. Midwest quality assurance rules.
Your blog is in my reader -- always fun to browse through the things you find -- but this time, TWO particular gems! This! Pie Grams! I've already sent one and will send more in the future for sure (maybe even to myself!) Also, the Google Sheep View. So. Much. Fun. That link has been sent off to a sheep farmer in Northern Ohio!
I ordered a Pie Gram! Awesome! Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for the post, because this has to be the most amazing thing to send. Ever!!
Yay! I'm so glad people are sending pies! I love this idea!

Coveney Welcomes Record Irish Presence At Chinese Seafood Expo
#Seafood - Following a meeting today (5 November) with Chinese Vice Minister Niu Dun, who has responsibility for fisheries, Marine Minister Simon Coveney opened the largest ever Irish pavilion at the China Seafood & Fisheries Expo, which takes place in Qingdao this week.
Speaking at the event, Minister Coveney said: "Ireland has some of the finest seafood in the world, with a superior offering that is sustainably harvested from the pure, clean waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
"Business development and trade show events such as these are invaluable in building awareness of our high quality produce to an influential, targeted trade audience.
"China continues to be a growing market for Irish seafood and with exports increasing by over 300% since 2011 to reach €18 million in 2013. This strong trend in Irish exports to the region is continuing in 2014 with sales for the first 6 months up 56% compared to the same period last year."
Organised by Bord Bia, Ireland's stand will include representatives from a record 11 Irish seafood companies between today and Friday 7 November at the largest trade show in China, with more than 25,000 visitors expected from over 100 countries.
In 2013, China's seafood trade surpassed €20 billion in value, cementing its position as the world's leading seafood trading country. Growing incomes and increased urbanisation have helped fuel a massive growth in demand for imported seafood.
China currently accounts for one quarter of the world's seafood consumption, and the United Nation's FAO projects that China will need an extra 16 million tonnes of seafood by 2020 to meet growing demand.
Minister Coveney added: "The strong Irish representation from both the pelagic and shellfish sectors in Qingdao today demonstrates the commitment of both industry and government to deepen ties and strengthen relationships with our Chinese customers."
Traditionally, the Chinese market has been important for the Irish seafood industry predominantly for the sale of pelagic species such as boarfish, which was launched in China this year after a successful presentation at the 2013 expo.
However, in the last three years, significant effort has been invested by Irish processors and Bord Bia to identify and develop opportunities for premium shellfish in this growing market for seafood, notably for shellfish such as live and processed brown crab, langoustines, scallops and razor fish.
Bord Bia chief executive Aidan Cotter said: "The strong and sustained growth in exports in recent years demonstrates the continued success of Ireland's leading shellfish processors in penetrating this valuable market. Exports of shellfish to China, for example, increased in value by over 200% between 2012 and 2013, while exports to Hong Kong increased by 117% during the same period.
"Bord Bia has ambitious plans to further grow the share of Irish seafood into China and has a number of programmes in place to assist Irish seafood processors in identifying, profiling and targeting new customers that are willing to pay a premium for quality seafood from Ireland."
Through its trade development programme, Bord Bia says it has been very successful in encouraging high-end retail and foodservice Chinese customers to visit Ireland to meet with Irish seafood processors on a one-to-one basis.
These itineraries have been described as very effective in generating new business for the sector, providing Irish companies with an excellent opportunity to showcase their processing facilities and also allowing the customers to see first hand the world-class environment in which Irish seafood is produced. These visits can provide a guarantee to Chinese customers on traceability, sustainability and food safety, all key issues of growing concern to the Chinese consumer.
"Irish seafood has enjoyed ongoing and increasing market access to China," said Dr Susan Steel, chair of the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority. "International trade in food is based upon a reciprocated trust in food safety systems. The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority, as regulator, verifies the safety and sustainability of Irish seafood and we welcome this Chinese confidence in the robustness of the assurance systems we implement."
During the last three years, Bord Bia has welcomed more than 25 Asian customers to Ireland on customised itineraries. Many of these visits have delivered new business for Irish seafood processors, and in March 2015, as part of its Marketplace International event, Bord Bia will host an additional 17 Asian customers on a visit to Ireland.
The buyers will meet with Ireland's leading seafood processors, and Bord Bia has set a target of securing €7 million worth of new business for the seafood sector arising from this event.
In September 2013, over €4 million worth of new business was secured with a range of Asian seafood customers who travelled to Ireland to attend Bord Bia's Global Sustainability Conference.
Going into 2015, to build on the momentum and further increase exports of premium Irish seafood to China, Bord Bia will concentrate its promotional efforts on increasing awareness of new species from Ireland such as brown crab and Irish prawns.
Targeting premium chefs, media and key opinion-formers, Bord Bia will co-ordinate a series of cookery demonstrations in Beijing and Shanghai, focusing on introducing recipes for these species that are new to the Chinese market.
The campaign will assist the Irish processing sector to sell in their ranges to distributors servicing the premium restaurants and hotels in these two key locations. In addition, Chinese consumers will be educated and informed through a comprehensive programme of in-store tastings with a number of supermarket retail chains.

Coveney Secures €148m Development Funds For Irish Seafood Industry
#seafood – Following months of intense lobbying and negotiation, Minister Coveney today secured €148 million from this fund for the period 2014 to 2020 for the development of the Irish seafood industry and the coastal communities that depend upon it. Welcoming this announcement the Minister said 'This funding is more than double the amount that was available to Ireland during the last Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and will ensure a strong fishing industry in Ireland that can grow expand to meet its potential up to 2020."
In announcing the EU funding, Minister Coveney said "The new CFP is a major overhaul of the way which fishing is carried out in EU waters, the purpose of which is to provide a framework for the long term sustainability of fish stocks and the whole industry. The fund will provide support for our fishing fleet to meet the challenges of the new discards ban; it will support the development of the seafood processing sector, a sustainable aquaculture industry and the communities that depend on a vibrant seafood industry."
The Minister went on to say that "I am satisfied the €148 million which I was able to negotiate for Ireland from the new fund will help our seafood industry to develop and maintain long term sustainability and economic strength. This is more than double the amount of funding that was available to Ireland in the last period from 2007 to 2013 and is, I believe, the level of the investment needed to meet the challenges and opportunities facing the Irish seafood industry."
Ireland must now prepare a programme setting out the arrangements for spending the fund and submit this to the Commission by 20 October 2014. The Department has been working on the new Operational Programme since 2013 and has engaged with stakeholders on a number of occasions to date. Further public consultation and strategic environmental assessment will take place over the summer 2014. The Minister added "We have already being consulting stakeholders on the framework for the new programme. Now that we know the amount of funds we have available we can finalise these consultations and put in place an ambitious programme of support that delivers on the priorities of the fishing industry and other stakeholders."
Under the new CFP, which was negotiated to completion under the Irish Presidency of the EU in 2013, a European Maritime and Fisheries Fund has now been established to support the delivery of the new policy.

Whooley Announced As CEO Of 'Game-Changer' Marine Food Scheme
#Seafood - Just days after his resignation as CEO of Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM), Jason Whooley has been announced as the chief executive of Bio-marine Ingredients Ireland, as OceanFM reports.
The new body, a joint venture between the Killybegs Fishermen's Organisation and Norwegian firm Biomarine Science Technology, is behind the "game-changer" €35 million project in the Donegal fishery harbour that's expected to create 50 construction jobs and a further 70 direct and indirect positions once operational.
As previously reported on Afloat.ie, the new scheme - promoted by the development of the new boarfish fishery - is set to be the largest marine food ingredients plants in the world when it enters its first full year of production in 2017.

Minister Announces New Grant Aid For Seafood Processors
#Seafood - Marine Marine Simon Coveney has announced an award of €2.4 million in grant aid to 20 seafood processing companies under the 2014 Seafood Processing Business Investment Scheme.
The scheme is projected to deliver 157 jobs and €45 million in additional sales by 2016.
Taken in conjunction with private sector investment, the total investment will be almost €8 million in 2014.
The grants are co-funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the European Fisheries Fund.
"Our seafood industry has the potential to achieve sales of €1 billion per annum by 2017 and to deliver 1,200 additional jobs in that period," said Minister Coveney, who added that the seafood processing sector "is a key growth area in our seafood industry and can make a major contribution to those overall seafood industry growth targets."
The minister also said the investment "will help to build scale, drive innovation and develop value added products to meet the considerable demand on our key international markets. It will enable these companies to invest in the required technology and resources to make this happen.
"I look forward to seeing the positive effect this investment has on the industry, both in terms of employment and sales, over the next three years."
The 20 companies receiving grant aid are from eight coastal counties across the country: four in Co Cork (Castletownbere Fishermen's Co-Op; Good Fish Processing; Keohane Seafood; Ballycotton Seafoods), three in Co Galway (Cill Chiarain Eisc Teoranta; Iasc Mara Teoranta; Galway Bay Seafoods), two in Co Mayo (Connemara Seafoods Frozen; WM Carr & Sons), four in Co Donegal (Proseail An Clochan Liath Teo; Charles Vial; Earagail Eisc Teo; Arctic Fish), two in Dublin (Rockabill Shellfish; Dunns Seafare), three in Co Wexford (Atlantis Seafoods; Sofrimar; Kilmore Seafoods) and one each in Co Louth (Seafood Processors trading as Morgans) and Co Waterford (Iasc Sliogagh Dunlarbhain Dungarvan).
The Seafood Processing Business Investment Scheme is implemented as part of the State's Seafood Development Programme. Grant aid is at a maximum rate of 20% for primary processing and 30% for secondary processing projects and is co-funded on a 50/50 basis by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the European Fisheries Fund.
The scheme is implemented by Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) and Údarás na Gaeltachta, with Enterprise Ireland assisting in commercial evaluation of proposals.
Successful projects are selected for grant aid by a selection board comprising the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine, BIM, Údarás na Gaeltachta, Enterprise Ireland, the Marine Institute, the South and East Regional Assembly and the BMW Regional Assembly.
Eligible companies are seafood processing SMEs with premises approved by the SFPA. Eligible costs may include the purchase of new machinery and equipment and the construction, extension or modernisation of seafood processing enterprises.
Plans Unveiled For World's Largest Marine Food Plant in Killybegs
#Seafood - Marine Minister Simon Coveney has welcomed plans by the Killybegs Fishermen's' Organisation (KFO) and a Norwegian partner to build the largest marine food ingredients plant in the world in Killybegs, Co Donegal.
The plant, due to become fully operational by 1 January 2017, will produce valuable high-end marine protein for human consumption.
"This facility will become a 'game-changer' in the seafood sector," said the minister in his opening address at the BIM National Seafood Conference at Dublin's Aviva Stadium yesterday 2 April.
"It will position Killybegs and Ireland as a global leader in supply and research around new products and benefits from protein, oils and calcium associated with the sea," he added.
"This new processing facility arises from the new boarfish fishery which was developed by Irish fishermen over the past few years. In 2012, the EU introduced quota shares for the stock and Ireland secured 70% share of the fishery and has a quota of 88,000 tonnes in 2014.
"I am delighted that the new food ingredients project will maximise the value of a significant part of this fishery and centre the associated economic activity and jobs in the heartland of Ireland's fishing community."
Minister Coveney confirmed that while the plans are at an early stage, "discussions are underway to finalise the full funding of the project. I look forward to the successful conclusion of these negotiations and to a formal announcement of this project in Donegal.
"KFO chief executive Sean O'Donoghue has invited me to Donegal to announce specific details of the project on 9 May, which I'm very pleased to accept subject to successful conclusion of the ongoing discussions."
The focus of the conference, hosted by Bord Iascaigh Mhara and attended by seafood business leaders, global industry thinkers and world-renowned fisheries experts, was 'capturing Ireland's share of the global seafood opportunity'.
Minister Coveney added: "We all need to challenge our thinking and inform ourselves of best international practice so that Ireland will be able to position itself to maximise its share of the global seafood opportunity.
"Ireland may currently be a small player in the context of world seafood, however, given the huge resources around our coast it is clear that we should have major ambitions for sustainable growth of our seafood sector. This conference will contribute to making these ambitions a reality and the Killybegs food ingredients projects shows what can be done."
Minister Praises Opportunities For Irish Seafood At Organic Trade Fair
#Seafood - Speaking at the opening of Ireland's organic food stand at BioFach, the World Organic Trade Fair in Nuremburg, Germany this week Minister of State Tom Hayes of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine highlighted the opportunities that exist for Irish organic produce both at home and abroad.
"There are undoubtedly opportunities for indigenous Irish companies to make inroads into these export markets, and the Irish participation at Biofach is an important step in that direction," said Minister Hayes.
Eight innovative Irish food companies - five of which are in the seafood sector - are participating at the event, which runs till Saturday 15 February.
Last year, BioFach attracted close to 2,500 exhibitors and some 41,800 trade visitors from 136 countries.
The minister also paid tribute to Bord Bia "who have once again done a wonderful job in organising the Irish food industry's participation at this important event.
"I am convinced that with all the stakeholders of the industry working together, we can realise the potential that clearly exists for the Irish organic sector".
Currently exhibiting at the Irish stand are Murphy's Irish Seafood, Kush Seafarms, Irish Seaspray, Emerald Mussels and the Irish Organic Salmon Company, along with beef and lamp specialists The Good Herdsman, Just Food and The Little Milk Company.
Irish Seafood Exports Increase by Over 20% in 2012
#seafood – Simon Coveney, T.D, The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine announced today the award of €2.4 million in grant aid to 25 seafood processing companies under the 2013 Seafood Processing Business Investment Scheme.

Scroll down the page for 2013 Grants approved.
Speaking at the announcement of the investments, Minister Coveney said:
"Processing is a high growth area in Ireland's seafood sector and has successfully targeted new business opportunities in markets like China, Russia and Africa. Overall exports were valued at €517m in 2012, an increase of 20% on 2012. This €8 million investment by the industry represents a very significant funding commitment by processing companies and Government to the seafood sector and underpins the confidence of new joint venture partnerships which were significant contributors to the increase in the value of Irish seafood exports in 2012".
The 25 companies receiving grant aid are from seven coastal counties across the country, namely Kerry, Dublin, Cork, Galway, Wexford, Mayo and Donegal.
The Minister said "The geographic spread of the companies receiving the grant aid is testament to the success of the Seafood Processing Business Investment Scheme and the innovative and creative developments happening in seafood generally".
The Minister made the announcement of the new investments at the launch of BIM's new strategy for the seafood sector 2013 – 2017. The strategy "Capturing Ireland's share of
the global seafood opportunity" sets targets for the creation of 1,200 additional jobs, aligned to a total sales value of €1 billion of which exports will form €650m by the end of 2017.
The Minister said "The Irish Seafood sector is currently in expansionary mode, it is a growth industry. I believe that through the type of investment supports and strategic plan announced today, the Government can assist Irish seafood processing companies to scale up, diversify further and innovate as they develop new markets, enhancing profitability and job creation prospects into the future."
Today's announcement follows previous investment supported by the Scheme of €10 million in 2012 and €7 million in 2011. Together these developments are setting a clear path to achievement of the potential of the seafood sector to create value added seafood products, as identified in Food Harvest 2020 and Action Plan for Jobs 2012. The Food Harvest 2020 strategy targets revenue growth in the seafood sector as a whole of €300 million by 2020, with employment capable of increasing by 3,000 in that period.

Gold for Galway Bay Seafood in Great Taste Awards
#SEAFOOD BUSINESS - Galway Bay Seafood's ready-to-eat seafood range has received a boost with a number of its products getting gold stars in the UK's Great Taste awards.
The Galway Independent reports that the Galway-based fishmongers' barbecued salmon, barbecued and peppered smoked mackerel were awarded one gold star each, while smoked mackerel received the honour of two gold stars.
The locally produced fish will now carry the coveted Great Taste 2012 logo, described by proprietor Noel Holland as a "fantastic achievement" for the company and its staff.
"It is heartening to see all our work paying off and boosts the morale of everyone involved here," he told the Independent. "This boost will motivate us to keep striving to continually improve our business."
Galway Bay Seafood's products were judged by a panel that included restaurateur and Masterchef winner Mat Follas - a chef whose seafood main helped him clinch that coveted title.

Fishing Industry Welcomes Selective Nets, Grant Aid at Irish Skipper Expo
#FISHING - Minister for the Marine Simon Coveney briefed the Irish Skipper Expo in Galway last weekend on a new initiative promoting the use of selective conservation fishing nets, which allow young fish to escape.
Under the initiative in the Celtic Sea, additional quotas of up to 25% will be made available by the minister to skippers of Irish fishing boats which use an escape panel in their nets, allowing young whiting and haddock to escape.
The escape panel, developed by the Irish industry, has been endorsed at EU level and is expected to be a mandatory requirement later in the year.
Minister Coveney said on Saturday: "The use of this panel will significantly reduce discards of juvenile whiting and haddock in the Celtic Sea, allowing juvenile fish to grow and mature and contribute to increased stock size and returns for fishermen in future years.
"I believe that this offers an example of a practical approach to dealing effectively with the discards problem and retention of a flexible quota allocation system that we should take forward in the context of the Common Fisheries Policy Review."
In other news, Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) announced €1.5 million in grant aid for the Irish fishing industry at the expo.
A spokesperson for BIM confirmed to the Galway Independent that the funding will be available to industry through a variety of schemes including fleet safety, seafood environmental management, lobster V-notching and coastal action groups.
Over 100 companies displayed their products and services to fishermen at the Irish Skipper Expo International 2012, held at the Galway Bay Hotel on 24-25 February.
