Bush's young new Jewish liason [pg. 6]
By MATTHEW E. BERGER / JTA
Jay Zeidman spent a lot of his youth at meetings for Jewish organizations in Texas. Now, he's going as a representative of the White House. Zeidman, 22, was named White House liaison to the Jewish community last month, and has been tasked with selling Bush administration policies to Jews at a time when the president's approval ratings are at historic lows. Zeidman is the son of Fred Zeidman, chairman of the US Holocaust Memorial Council and a fund-raiser for US President George W. Bush in the Jewish community. The younger Zeidman said he attended a lot of meetings with his father for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and the Anti-Defamation League in Houston, and walked away with strong support for Israel and political activism. "I've found the community to be quite receptive to our agenda, both domestic and foreign," he said. "They are willing to listen." Zeidman replaces Jeffrey Berkowitz, an associate director of scheduling at the White House, who tried to balance both tasks for a year. Zeidman is a staffer at the White House Office of Public Liaison, and officials said he will have more time to devote to working with Jewish leaders, considered a full-time job in itself. Zeidman is the fifth liaison to the Jewish community since Bush came to office in 2001. In his first month on the job, Zeidman was tasked with coordinating Vice President Dick Cheney's speech at the AIPAC Policy Conference. Now he is working on Bush's expected address to the American Jewish Committee on May 4. Zeidman said he was impressed with the administration's willingness to reach out to Jews. "We're speaking on all levels, from the president and vice president on down," he said. "The president gets our message. He believes in the things we believe in." Zeidman came to the White House from Texas Christian University near Dallas, where he graduated last year with a degree in economics and was student body president. He said the school was an "unlikely place" for a Jewish student to thrive. "He's proud of his religion, proud of his heritage and was willing to withstand whatever peer pressure there might be to assimilate in the student community," his father said. "He stood up for what was right." Zeidman began interning at the public liaison office over the summer, working with former Jewish liaisons Tevi Troy and Noam Neusner. "Jay is rightfully judged on his skill and not on his age," Neusner said. "This White House values people who show a capacity for organization, judgment, skill - and he's got all those things." Zeidman said he wants to highlight the efforts the Bush administration is making to end the killing in Darfur, which has become an important topic for Jewish groups. "There have been a lot of discussion that the administration has not taken enough action," he said. "Bottom line, that is not accurate." He noted that Bush continues to refer to Darfur as a "genocide," saying the word should resonate and have an impact in the Jewish community. Zeidman also has been issuing more e-mails and updates to a "Jewish leaders" list the White House maintains, on issues from the Palestinian and Israeli elections to the war in Iraq and Darfur. Zeidman said he does not think about political office in his future. He hopes to return to Texas to get an MBA and go into business with his family.

A new waterproof computer keyboard design is now available from WetKeys Washable Keyboards. The new washable keyboard features popular Chiclet-style keys and includes a removable silicone keyboard cover designed for medical and dental offices where the spray-wipe-spray method of rapid disinfection saves time and helps prevent cross-contamination leading to Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs).
"The innovative fitted silicone keyboard cover prevents dirt and liquids from even reaching the keys so it's incredibly easy to keep clean and sanitary when used in medical and dental offices," explained Paul Lawrence, CEO of WetKeys.
WetKeys Washable Keyboards announces the availability of the revolutionary waterproof computer keyboard from Seal Shield, available as a Bluetooth wireless keyboard or traditional USB wired configuration. Called the "Clean Wipe Medical Grade Chiclet Keyboard", it features a thin, flat design that's remarkably comfortable to use, light weight at only 9 oz. (255 g) and includes a reusable fitted silicone keyboard cover to keep the keys medically clean when needed, yet doesn't interfere with accurate data entry.
Waterproof keyboards and mice are now available in so many different styles, shapes and sizes that the offering available through WetKeys totals more than 300 unique models ranging from the typical Logitech keyboard to flexible keyboards and heavy duty silicone industrial keyboards. WetKeys keyboards and mice are used in food processing plants, hospitals, operating rooms and other clean rooms designed to prevent the spread of disease, or the contamination of medicines at pharmaceutical companies, and to maintain food safety in large scale food production plants.
This new "Clean Wipe Medical Grade Chiclet Keyboard" model fills a niche where the user is accustomed to effortless high-speed typing on a keyboard with excellent tactile feedback and can appreciate the added benefits of being spill-proof, washable, antimicrobial, dishwasher safe and, due to its thin profile, an excellent portable keyboard.
The Bluetooth wireless version (model SSKSV099BT) has an internal rechargeable lithium ion battery that charges from any computer's USB port via the removable cable. The port and power switch are kept watertight with an attached Seal Cap that allows the unit to be fully immersed in hospital grade disinfecting solutions for thorough cleaning and rinsing with water.
Both models are made using Seal Shield's proprietary Silver Seal antimicrobial plastic which contains an antimicrobial, fungistatic agent that protects the product and, more importantly, its user. The antimicrobial plastic keeps the keyboard cleaner, greener and fresher by inhibiting the growth of microbial bacteria, mold, mildew and fungi on the product's surface.

Seal Shield designs, develops and manufactures medical grade, infection prevention technology for hospitals and the home, including waterproof keyboards, mice, TV remotes and protection products for smart phones and tablets.

The evening of Tuesday 10th November saw over 140 Prizewinners, Members and guests gather for the annual awards ceremony, where a record number of 43 trophies were handed out. RCS Richard Hill presided, with Robin Aisher OBE and Jack Edwards- Keeper of the Trophies- presenting the cups.
A lively champagne reception was followed by a stunning three course meal, with trophies being presented in between each course. See below for a list of all of the 2015 PrizeWinners. The winners of the final four trophies were kept secret until being presented at the very end of the evening, as these are particularly special awards.
The Docker Cup dates from 1846, it is awarded for outstanding services to sailing by any individual, not necessarily a member of the Royal Thames. This person has sailed in nearly every Fastnet starting with the infamous 1979 one, four Admiral's Cup series and has acted as the British team manager.
He was chief instructor at the National Sailing Centre in Cowes and has been Director of Cowes Week, the largest regatta for sailing yachts in the world, for the last 17 years. He is also the Author of a number of books on sailing. As a member of the Royal Thames he sits on the committee that decides on what Models should adorn our famous model room.
Stuart Quarrie - winner of the Docker Cup.
This cup is awarded to an RTYC sailor for outstanding performance in the year.
This sailor was in the winning team that won the Wilson Trophy, the UK's premier team racing event, he was also part of the winning boat at the J/70 nationals and he was tactician on Yes!
RTYC can award each year a fine trophy, dating from 1860, for the RTYC member whose yacht has performed outstandingly during the year.
Over the past 25 years Adam Gosling has competed at every Cowes Week and won his class on 12 occasions, three times winning Black Group overall racing his 12th Yes!
This year his Cowes Week achievement was even more impressive because he achieved 5 bullets having discarded a 2nd place.
Adam Gosling - winner of the Yacht of the Year with Corby 36 Yes!
The NYYC Invitational Cup is a regatta for invited teams representing yacht clubs from around the world. The racing is in Swan 42s and is held in Newport, Rhode Island. This biennial event that is regarded as the peak of the one design fleet racing competitions being completely Corinthian and the crew have to be bona fide members of their yacht club.
In 2011 and 2013 it was the Royal Canadian Yacht Club that won the event led by Olympic silver medallist Terry McLaughlin.
Also in 2013 our team finishing third overall earned them the Resolute Trophy as the top non-North American finisher.
With tight racing over 4 days and no discards permitted, the emphasis had to be on consistent performance. The Royal Thames Yacht Club sailed a conservative set of races in that they were one of the few teams not to win a race but they nailed it, winning the Invitational Cup and the Resolute Trophy.


When I first started blogging almost 7 years ago, I was really clueless about what it really meant to "blog" about fashion. Initially I was not planning to show my outfits, but outfits were what I loved about other bloggers so why not share my outfits too.
Once I got comfortable with posing and taking outfit pictures, it made want to buy more clothes to create outfits for the blog. It can be a vicious cycle of shopping and over spending. Seems like if you are a fashion blogger you have to be on top of all the latest trends and styles, at least that's the expectation. It was actually exhausting and realistically not financially responsible for me to keep shopping just for the blog. Between working full time and supporting my self, there was no way I could spend tons of money or time on outfits for the blog.
Sure as a blogger some of us get freebies from brands, to review and share on the blog. I have received my share of freebies and "swag" but can assure you it's not to the point where I have a closet full of free clothes and shoes. Don't we all wish to have closets full of new and stylish clothes for free! Sadly unless you are super popular with hundreds of thousands of followers its not happening for all of us. I bought and payed for the majority of the clothes I blogged about and it seriously got out of hand. I ran out of money and space in my closet for it all. I found my self buying things only because they were "on trend" and thought it would be good for the blog. Some items I truly didn't love or really would wear if it weren't for blogging. I ended up with a closet full of clothes with tags still on and an empty bank account. I decided sometime last year to start shopping my own closet, start wearing what I have and what I love. Somethings you may have seen before and other items are a few years old. No shame is reusing your clothing more than once right! Seems like with blogging it was almost a sin to been seen with the same dress more than once! I know these are not things most bloggers will talk about or post, but I really want to be honest about how I feel. These feelings of not being able to keep up or compete with fashion bloggers is one of the reasons I considered quitting the blog. Since I am no quitter, I decided to take a new approach. Wear what I have in new ways and create new looks for the blog with what I already own in my closet. It won't make me the most popular blogger, but it will make me happy.
Does this mean no more shopping for me? Umm heck no, I am a shopper at heart and can spot a good fashion bargain a mile away. The shopping will be kept to a minimum, buying only items I truly love and would wear, regardless of the blog. This outfit is one I've had in the closet for a few years. These pants haven't been seen on the blog before and I was thinking of getting rid of them. Although I love a good plaid print, I wasn't really a fan of wearing red pants. My boyfriend loves them and said "you better not get rid of those pants" thanks to him I kept them and will starting wearing them more often. Only new thing about this outfit are the sandals, I bought from H&M and couldn't resist such a great bargain at only $7!
Do you ever feel like you can't keep up with your blogging niche?
I totally understand how you feel. Last year, my budget took a huge hit when we moved to sunny California and I couldn't really add new items as fast as stores could stock them. It didn't help that some of my favorite stores where putting out product that i couldn't see myself wearing over and over again. I ended up taking a much longer break than usual and now I am really having to shop my closet more frequently as well. I'm glad you didn't give up on blogging or these awesome pants! I loved them when I saw them on Instagram and I love them more now that I've seen several shots of them. Keepers for sure!
There is nothing better than knowing that the blogger you follow has a realistic approach to keeping up with the trends and finding their own comfortable look. You have always been a fashionista to me girl, just glad you finally found your zen with it. Happy closet shopping!
Totally relate and I'm glad bloggers decide to write about how most of us feel. Nothing wrong with reusing out clothes for the blog because it's what we do in real life, and the blog should be a reflection of ourselves. Love that you blogged about this and love your new approach. Looking forward to more!
Absolutely love this! I appreciate your honesty. This was my struggle while trying to decide if I wanted to revamp my blog. I'm a mom. I don't dress like the popular mommy bloggers who have perfectly manicured nails and wear the latest fashions. But I was told by moms like me that they want to see what i wear and hear my stories...which is why i didn't scrap it. You and I both love to shop but if I know anything about us, it's that we want to do our own thing. I'm not super trendy...but it works for me. I'm glad that you decided to stick around.
I'm glad you decided to stick it out. Blogging is not always a smooth road but we can do it our way so we're not chasing some trend.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I do prefer reading about someone who's keeping it real and sharing how they actually "participate in fashion" (if that makes sense) in their real life. I look forward to reading more of your posts!
thanks for sharing.. i also have blog like yours about Harga Tablet advan update that you may can visit sometimes..

Kolos Data Center by HDR, Ballengen, Norway
2018 A+Awards Jury Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Commercial category
Responsive to its site on a fjord surrounded by mountains and integrated into the natural beauty of its environment, HDR's design takes cues from the spectacular landforms of alluvial fans, mountains and glaciers that define the site. Organized along a central spine, the building forms are arranged to mimic a glacier's movement as it displaces swaths of land.
N'5 by BAD. Built by Associative Data, Beirut, Lebanon
2018 A+Awards Popular Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Commercial category
Located in the heart of the Jnah district in Beirut, this mixed-use project organizes residential apartments, offices, restaurants and retail in a compact urban form. Nestled at a busy traffic junction, the development creates a new high quality public space sheltered from the traffic and a new focal point for the high-density environment. The building volume is formed as an extrusion of the site, creating a sharp edge to the chaotic urban fabric around it. Carved out of this solid volume is a contrasting soft public space with a series of terraces and courtyards.
Museum of Forest Finn Culture by Lipinski Lasovsky Johansson, Svullrya, Norway
2018 A+Awards Popular Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Cultural category
"Finnskogens Hus" is a museum in the forest, relating to its context as a transition between inside and outside. Surrounded by a forest of columns, the design evokes curiosity and attracts visitors to interact with the building and the surrounding landscape. The museum creates a framework where to present and educate about the rich history of the Forest Finns.
United Kingdom Holocaust Memorial by Diamond Schmitt Architects, London, UK
2018 A+Awards Jury Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Cultural category
An international design competition was held in the UK for a National Memorial to honor the victims and survivors of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution. Diamond Schmitt Architects' entry features gently sloping ramps that take visitors on a symbolic journey from light to darkness and back again. Sombre and solemn, the Memorial embraces visitors in its dark walls, bringing them to a place where distractions are excluded.
Coral Seafood Restaurant by BNS Studio, Kish, Iran
2018 A+Awards Popular Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Hospitality category
Coral Seafood Restaurant is located on a breakwater with 180 meters length on the beautiful Kish Island adjacent to Marina Park Hotel. Like musical notes, the openings along the building's linear volume, add rhythm and harmony to the design. These windows not only frame the view of the sea but they also create dynamic and pleasant spaces. In harmony with the coral reef off Kish Island, coral abstract forms were used as a main interior design concept.
Alila Wuzhen by GOA, Jiaxing, China
2018 A+Awards Jury Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Hospitality category
Currently under construction in China, this luxury hotel in China takes villages south of the Yangtze River as its prototype, evoking the spatial forms, elements, scales and color relations of traditional tribes. The tranquil water and pure architectural form sit in harmony, reflecting the multi-level and semi-transparent relations between buildings, plants and the water's surface.
Hamedan Chamber of Commerce by UDA, Hamedan, Iran
2018 A+Awards Jury and Popular Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Institutional category
UDA's designs for the Hamedan Chamber of Commerce, slated to be built in 2027, took home both a Popular and a Jury A+Award in the category for unbuilt structures. It's not hard to see why: with a design built on mathematical principles inspired by the legacy of Persian geometric theory, this complex exudes rationality and order.
Cuchi Organic Eco Farm by IF (Integrated Field co.,ltd), Cuchi, Vietnam
2018 A+Awards Jury Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Masterplan category
COEF is masterplan proposal for a huge decommissioned rubber plantation in Cuchi, Vietnam. To increase trust between consumers and the food industry, IF proposes a design that traces the organic food cycle through a journey across the farm. "Learning nodes" are introduced along the route to help increase understanding of the organic process, offering visitors empirical knowledge of food production. The project also includes farm-stay accommodation, a farm-to-table restaurant and a co-farming area where one can rent a plot to farm their own order.
11th Street Bridge Park by OLIN and OMA, Washington, DC
11th Street Bridge Park is a place of exchange, an iconic new civic space uniting two historically separated communities and supporting environmental, economic, cultural and physical health. Building on top of existing, decommissioned infrastructure, the bridge park is comprised of a series of rooms and active zones, including two sloped ramps that elevate visitors to maximized look-out points viewing landmarks in either direction. This new geometry of the bridge creates an iconic encounter in the shape an "X," instantly recognizable as a symbol of crossing, exchange, and convergence.
Zaferanieh Residential Tower by Challenge Studio, Tehran, Iran
2018 A+Awards Jury and Popular Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Multi Unit Housing (L) category
Challenge Studio's inventive residential tower is envisioned as a modular design, with interlocking units generating the overall form through varying tetris-like orientations and 180 degree rotations. This modular system creates dynamic in-between spaces which draw the external surroundings into the built form, resulting in an interlacing of open and closed spaces for residents to enjoy.
Sendo by estudio santander, Tijuana, Mexico
2018 A+Awards Popular Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Multi Unit Housing (S) category
Estudio santander's apartment building is defined by its context. Acoustic façades are designed to block noise from the street and assure peace within a noisy urban setting. The northern elevation is equipped with shutters that guard against hot, dry and dusty Santa Ana winds as well as cold winter winds. The shutters can also be closed to provide privacy, or completely opened to create a direct link to the city.
Nolita Park Senior Residence by think! architecture and design, New York
2018 A+Awards Jury Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Multi Unit Housing (S) category
The goal of think!'s proposal is to create a new neighborhood model that meets the community's need of preserving a beloved public open space and the creation of needed affordable housing for seniors. Designed in collaboration with JASA and Urban Builders with landscape design by Melk!, the project reinvents an existing community garden and integrates it with new senior housing above. The senior residences are meant to create long-lasting and dignified housing in a nurturing setting.
X House by Monk Mackenzie, Queenstown, New Zealand
2018 A+Awards Jury Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Private House (L) category
Set in the foothills of The Remarkables mountain range, this private residence engages an uncompromising and breathtakingly beautiful landscape with an equally uncompromising architecture. Resolutely grounded in its site, the structure is anchored at four points but arches to bridge a natural watercourse bisecting the site. The natural material palette — stone, glass and metal — is derived of the surrounding geology and speaks of a timescale greater than the human experience. The solidity and permanence of walls are married with the transparency and movement of vast glazed openings.
Round Retreat by UNITEDLAB Associates
2018 A+Awards Popular Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Private House (L) category
The formal strategy of Round Retreat begins by encircling an existing tree and allowing the other trees to erode the perimeter, forming concave spaces in the donut-shaped form. The "donut" is populated by circular spaces that are excavated from the whole, creating free-flowing circulation spaces around the programmed areas. By liberating the structure of right angles, visitors are able to sync with the rhythms of nature as the architecture merges with its surroundings and becomes a serene backdrop for relaxation and healing. Unexpected glimpses of nature reveal themselves as occupants circumnavigate the building.
A House for Living by Hes.architects
2018 A+Awards Popular Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Private House (S) category
Hes.architects was commissioned to design a house for a family whose members were all in love with nature and greenery. The site is a narrow piece of land enclosed by other buildings on the east and west, with a height restriction of eight meters. The design is divided into cube-shaped volumes so that the closed, private space and open, public spaces are located on different levels, while two courtyards allow plenty of natural light and ventilation to filter through to the interiors.
Pioneertown House by PARA Project, Pioneertown, California
2018 A+Awards Jury Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Private House (S) category
This project is sited on a 5-acre boulder parcel owned by a West Hollywood art-dealing couple looking for a weekend retreat and artist studio. There is an existing 1950s homestead masonry cabin on the property, and this humble original acts as the primitive origin for the clients' weekend outings. The design is a house around this house. Its organization takes queues from the landscape. But rather than piles of boulders, it experiments with piles of rooms. It plays with a pilgrimage for these domestic types: rooms, courts, closets, counters, bookcases and beds all pile and gather around the homestead.
Tropicalia by Coldefy & Associés Architectes Urbanistes, Lille, France
2018 A+Awards Jury and Popular Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Sports and Recreation category
Planned for construction in the north of France, "Tropicalia," is a huge tropical greenhouse. The 20,000 square meter structure will be the largest of its kind, featuring a tropical forest, a turtle beach, 82-foot-high waterfall, an Olympic-sized pool for Amazonian fish and a one-kilometer-long walking trail, all designed to make it a "harmonious haven". ETFE plastic technology is utilized in a "double-dome", allowing UV light to pass through while controlling thermal conditions inside.
Beibu Gulf International Oceanic Transit Center by GOA, Beihai, China
2018 A+Awards Popular Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Transportation category
GOA's project includes an elegant shipping terminal, marine hotel and a marine culture-themed commercial street. Instead of using the conventional design technique of a large-span concentrated space commonly seen on transportation buildings, this building employs a planar layout, arranging waiting halls in pairs that can be separated and combined as needed. This means the building can effectively respond to the service demands of shipping lines in low and high seasons, saving on both unnecessary construction costs and daily maintenance costs.
Turanganui Bridge by Monk Mackenzie, Gisborne, New Zealand
2018 A+Awards Jury Vote Winner in the Unbuilt Transportation category
The concept of Turanganui Bridge is about connection. The aim is to create intimate connections between people, culture, land, sea and sky. It is embodied in the form through two entities that emerge from the landscape, meeting at a delicate apex above the river. The form is muscular at the base, tapering to a thin section at the moment of connection. The bridge deck widens in the plan at the apex above the river to act as a meeting place and dramatic viewing deck out to sea.

I came across this problem of wanting to add a column in the List view web part (stock standard one) with the ability to have html elements rendered properly. Unfortunately Sharepoint's standard list view only displays text in it. However, with some guidance from Aaron and great post from PathToSharepoint, I was able to do that easily.
Lately I had fun digging into Sharepoint database and see how the monster was built and what its database schema looking like. Well, it's pretty smart the way it was built but it's also a pain for developers to understand and even to play with it, if they have to. With the business that I am working for, we have to create reports for corporates, which forces us to having to dig into Sharepoint database directly, even though I read a lot of posts saying that is not recommended by Microsoft.

Chambana Welcome Crew
Nick Holonyak
Chances are, you're enjoying another innovation from Champaign-Urbana right now — the LED. University of Illinois professor Nick Holonyak, Jr. laid the groundwork for the modern LED, lighting up much of the technology we use today.
You're Welcome > Innovation > Nick Holonyak, LED
FATHER OF THE LED
You might need to make a cup of coffee and take a seat, because you've got a lot to thank-you notes owed to UIUC professor (and alumnus) Nick Holonyak, Jr. He's the man responsible for the cost- and energy-saving technology we now call LED lights. Illuminated grocery store aisles, traffic lights, street lamps, many of the newer lights in your house — they all had a start here in CU.
Holonyak was onto something when he invented a light that uses around 85 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, produces less heat, is more durable and has less of an environmental impact. Ten of Professor Holonyak's doctoral students have carried on his legacy, working with Philips to develop new uses for LED technology. Sound too good to be true? Well, look around you — Holonyak's work is everywhere!

BT beats Virgin Media in Netflix streaming speed test
By Thomas Newton
Netflix's latest round of prime time speed tests have put BT ahead of Virgin Media for the first time.
The regular round up of ISPs shows that on average BT customers enjoy average download speeds of 2.48Mbps when streaming content, slightly above the average 2.45Mbps speeds experienced by Virgin Media customers.
Unlike the regular speed tests undertaken by Ofcom, which focusses on download speeds, Netflix's results look at streaming speeds at peak times. This gives us an idea of how capable an ISP is at delivering content in a sustained manner over the duration of a movie or TV show.
Read Recombu Digital's guide to NetflixA Virgin Media spokesperson noted that Netflix's ISP performance metrics reflect the speeds Netflix is streaming its content on – so it's a different measure from the actual peak time speeds Virgin delivers on its network.
BT declined to comment on the results, but a Netflix spokesperson explained that a number of factors such as the variety of devices streaming content and home WiFi networks, which can be affected by interference, had an overall effect on the results.
The spokesperson said: "The relative ranking should be an accurate indicator of relative bandwidth typically experienced across all users, homes, and applications."
Netflix's recommends download speeds of 5Mbps for 720p HD streams and speeds of at least 7Mbps in order for people to enjoy its optimised Super HD streams.
With this is mind we asked is the results means that customers wouldn't be able to enjoy HD movies at peak times. Netflix's spokesperson said: "Our highest-quality 1080p video streams come in at close to 6Mbps. Non-HD content, of which there is quite a bit on Netflix as well, tops out at 2.2Mbps. The typical user watches a mix of HD and SD content on a variety of devices, which explains the averages."
BT and Virgin Media provided average peak time speeds of 2.48Mbps and 2.45Mbps, slightly above the average speeds achieved by O2 (2.37Mbps) and Sky (2.33Mbps). TalkTalk and EE both managed averages of 2.25Mbps.
While Ofcom's regular reports provide a decent overall look at the services provided by the UK's main ISPs, reports like this provide a better insight into how specific services like streaming video work and how much bandwidth is used.

Good Girls S03 E04: Release Date and Streaming Details
Anisha Dutta
When Good Girls concluded with its second episode last week, fans were left wondering about the fate of Beth — now that Rio has returned and ended up locating her. Well, the answer (somewhat) is addressed in the third episode, which landed this week, i.e on March 1, 2020. So, do you wish to know what happened? Then scroll down to our recap section below.
However, if you are already done watching episode 3, it's time to get ready for the upcoming week. Read on to know how and where you can watch Good Girls season 3 episode 4.
Good Girls Season 3 Episode 4 Release Date: When will it premiere?
Good Girls Season 3 Episode 4 is scheduled to release on March 8, 2020, at 10 p.m ET & 9 p.m CT on NBC. It is called 'The Eye in Survivor'.
Its official synopsis goes as follows: "Beth takes a gamble in order to strike a new business deal, but it has consequences that put the women in an unwelcome position; Ruby worries her lifestyle is rubbing off on her family; Annie realizes she may have an inappropriate crush on someone."
You can also watch its promo below:
Where to Stream Good Girls Season 3 Episode 4 Online?
First things first. The best way to catch up on Good Girls season 3 episode 4 is to tune in to NBC on your tv screens at the above time slot via a cable subscription. The second option is to watch the latest episodes online on the official NBC website.
Another alternative for those planning to ditch cable is to live-stream Good Girls on YouTube TV, Directv, Sling TV, or FuboTV if you have their paid subscription. Finally, season one can be binged on Hulu. All the released episodes are also available for purchase on Amazon Prime Video.
Good Girls Season 3 Episode 3 Recap:
Let's start off right after the conclusion of episode 3 when Rio shocks Beth by appearing at the bar. A terrified Beth keeps on staring as Rio displays the bullets that she had shot into his lung, spleen, and shoulder. He raises a toast to her aim and when she attempts to leave, he says: "You're my girl, so I'm going to take it easy on you. I'll do it myself." A mortified Beth blabbers that she is pregnant — but we are yet to see if she faked her pregnancy or if it is the truth. Remember Dean and Beth in the shack? Maybe, he is all set to be a father again if what she is telling is true.
Ruby and Stan invent a new safe word for their business. This term is called "Egg roll." So, when the money mover in their business is apprehended, Ruby seeks Stan's help once again. Meanwhile, Beth takes a pregnancy test, which turns out to be negative. When Dean finds out, he is disappointed that she did not discuss anything with him first. He says: "We have a billion kids, Beth. It's completely insane." He further adds: "You know what really sucks? For like a second there, we felt like us again." And he is sure that he does not want to become a dad again.
Beth then meets Rhea and explains the situation. But Rhea, without giving any answer, walks away. The trio then bails out the launderer and Beth says that they need to temporarily halt their business. Annie is not pleased. Rio again appears and takes Beth to the clinic for blood tests and an ultrasound. But the nurse says Beth is pregnant. Apparently, Rhea had helped her after all!

Fairey Marine
Revision as of 18:28, 6 December 2020 by PaulF (talk | contribs)
Fairey Marine was a boat building company based on the River Hamble, Southampton, England, a subsidiary of Fairey Aviation Co Ltd.
1946 The company was created by Sir Charles Richard Fairey and Fairey Aviation's managing director, Mr. Chichester-Smith, to make use of redundant facilities at Hamble[1]. Both men were avid sailing enthusiasts along with Chichester-Smith's good friend and former Olympic yachtsman, Charles Currey.
In the early years, thousands of dinghies were produced by Fairey Marine including the Firefly, Albacore, Falcon (dinghy), Swordfish (dinghy), Jollyboat, Flying Fifteen, 505 and International 14's along with the much smaller Dinky and Duckling.
In the 1960s Fairey designed and built a range of wooden-hulled speedboats and motor launches designed by Alan Burnand.
In the early 1970s Fairey Marine switched to glass reinforced plastic hulls of the same design.
1977 Fairey Marine was taken into Receivership along with other companies in the Fairey Group when the parent company went into liquidation[2]
When the main Fairey company went into receivership the work force and the management did not want to be taken over by Trafalgar House or Rank International because they expected that those companies would shut the firm and adapt the site for use as a marina. The workforce wanted to stay in boat building and were keen that the National Enterprise Board should take them over.
1978 Sold Hamble Marina[3]
1980 The National Enterprise Board sold Fairey Holdings to Doulton, the subsidiary of S. Pearson and Son[4]
1984 Jack Barr took over as managing director and led a policy of new product development and introduced CAD techniques; developed new fast ferry designs[5]
1986 Fairey Marine of Cowes was sold by Pearsons to Marinteknik International of Hong Kong[6]
1988 The name was changed to FBM Marine
The company developed and expanded its range of products as well as acquiring a number of other companies including Cheverton Workboats, Brooke Marine and what became Fairey Marinteknik, the company was also known as Fairey Allday Marine; produced the Waveney class lifeboat for the RNLI.
2000 FBM Marine Holding, the ferry builders, was acquired by Babcock Engineering Services[7], a major UK based support services, facilities management and engineering company specialising in the support of defence forces worldwide, and renamed FBM Babcock Marine Ltd.

Dance Music is the soundtrack album by Welsh multi-instrumentalist John Cale composed for a ballet about Nico performed by the dancers of Scapino Ballet Rotterdam. The music was played by Ice Nine. The choreography of Scapino Ballet was conceived and directed by Ed Wubbe. The premiere took place in Rotterdam on 4 October 1997. Most of the songs were performed by a nine-piece ensemble Ice Nine, (except "Ari Sleepy Too" and "Nibelungen" by Nico and "España" by Cale on piano). "Nibelungen" is a track that Cale arranged for Nico's The Marble Index album.

It was then released on CD in 1998 on Detour Records label.

In a retrospective review, AllMusic wrote that the result although no showing any obvious connection to Nico, "displays a variety of colors and moods, ranging from pop to more classical styles, and often reveals a spare beauty".

Wondering if you need to cleanse your energy? Keep reading because I'm about to share with you the seven signs it's time to clear your energy.
These are not absolute rules, but rather indicators that you likely are carrying with you in your etheric energy body or in your aura, some sort of negativity or density that you'd benefit greatly from cleansing and returning in the present moment to love and presence and light.


I don't know about y'all, but when I find something I like, I stick to it. In regard to sunglasses, my comfort zone is Ray-Ban. I own four pair (these, these, these, and these) and thought I was set for life. Well, until I found Ditto.
Ditto Eyewear offers a month by month subscription of sunglasses. And not just any sunglasses, but designer ones! These Prism sunnies I am sporting, retail for over $400, but with Ditto, you can "rent them" for $24 a month. And not just those sunglasses, but any pair! (including Ray-Ban ;) ) I currently have these in my possession and I love them! I might just need to purchase them, instead of send them back - which you can do with Ditto, I might add!
Do you not wear/need sunglasses? Well, they also have prescription eyewear. It costs $34 (instead of $24) a month, but if you are an eyeglass fiend, that's nothing compared to the cost of actually buying a pair. This program works the same as the sunglasses program. You get a pair sent to you, then you order the next pair, and send back your current pair with a return label that comes in the box with the new pair. Did you follow that? haha. Just know you don't have to worry about paying shipping. Essentially, Ditto is a great way for you to constantly switch up your look, at a fraction of the cost.
I honestly didn't know if I would like the program, as I am a creature of habit; but, I love it! It actually helps me try new things, which helps my style continue to evolve. And who wants to stay in the same figurative place forever?
Interested, but not sure you are ready for a full on subscription? Try Ditto risk free, on me! Use code SOUTHERNELLESTYLE to get your first month for free! Try as as many different pair and get charged $0 for the first 30 days. No limits on the number of pair you try, which means no limits on your style!
You can start your eyewear program via this link. You are able to add in my promo code SOUTHERNELLESTYLE on the very first page that pops up, via the above link. To learn more about Ditto, visit their Website. To keep up with them, follow them on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter.


State Treasurer and Democratic candidate for governor John Chiang on Tuesday announced his office will study whether California should create a state bank to serve California's newly legalized marijuana industry.
The effort will be coordinated with the state attorney general's office, with both agencies trying to determine the costs, legal implications and other possible barriers to creating a state-run bank.
The biggest risk may come from Washington. U.S. Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions has indicated that the federal government will begin enforcing federal laws banning marijuana in states where cannabis is legal.
But it didn't take long for one of Chiang's Democratic rivals in the governor's race, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, to take a swipe at him. Within minutes of Chiang's announcement, Newsom's campaign manager criticized Chiang for not endorsing Proposition 64, which voters approved in 2016 to legalize recreational marijuana.
"John Chiang went out of his way to avoid endorsing Prop. 64 and virtually every other criminal justice reform ballot initiative since he's been a statewide office holder," Newsom campaign manager Addisu Demissie said in a statement.
The Chiang campaign dismissed the attack, saying the treasurer supported the private use of marijuana, but expressed reservations about whether the ballot measure would ensure cannabis was properly regulated and safeguards were in place.

"Ja till trängselskatt i Göteborg" är ett partipolitiskt och religiöst obundet nätverk som arbetade för ett ja till i den kommunala folkomröstningen om trängselskatt i Göteborg som genomfördes 14 september 2014. Nätverket uppstod i samband med Göteborgs kommunfullmäktige tog beslut om folkomröstningen enligt ett medborgarinitiativ senvåren 2013. Embryot till nätverket är dock av en facebookgrupp från hösten 2012.

Bakgrund
Som svar på "ett massivt motstånd mot trängselskattens införande i Göteborg" startade kvällstidningen GT en kampanj för en folkomröstning om trängselskatten den 16 augusti 2012. Många bedömare menar att GT tog ställning genom kampanjen som pågick under hela hösten och till stor del på nyhetsplats, och då inte bara att tidningen tog ställning för en folkomröstning, som GT menar själva, utan mot själva trängselskatten. En bedömning som även får stöd i en genomgång av alla den höstens artiklar i ämnet, som det mediekritiska radiomagasinet Medierna gjort. Bland annat gavs nästan inget utrymme åt positiva röster, något chefredaktören för tidningen, Frida Boisen, förklarade som en spegling av den faktiska opinionen.

I september 2012 skapades en facebookgrupp med namnet "JA till Trängselskatt i Göteborg", ofta förkortat till enbart "JA till trängselskatt, som en reaktion på detta, "för att visa att det fanns folk som var för trängselskatt och att det skulle finnas en positiv informationskanal." Under senvåren 2013 startades en parallellt initiativ, där människor uppmanades att sicka mejl till politiker, för att visa på stöd för trängselskatten och för att freda det Västsvenska paketet som trängselskatten delvis finansierar. Efter att kommunfullmäkige i Göteborg beslöt att bifalla medborgarinitiativets krav på folkomröstning den 23 maj, gjorde personerna bakom de båda initiativen gemensam sak. Utifrån facebooksidan växte sedan under sommaren 2013 ett nätverk fram "där privatpersoner från olika håll och kanter kom att engagera sig". Under sommaren 2013 författades den första debattartikeln, en replik mot en annan författad av det lokala partiet Vägvalet, och under hösten 2013 lanserades även en blogg. Västsvenska handelskammaren (VHK) valde att ge sitt stöd till organisationen i juni 2014, samtidigt som man tydligt tog ställning för trängselskatt specifikt och inte bara Västsvenska paketet i allmänhet som man gjort dittills.

Arbete och inflytande
Nätverket består av privatpersoner som ideellt bedriver opinionsarbete på sociala medier och genom att skriva debattartiklar. Inför valet, bedrevs en crowdfunding kampanj som inbringade 18000 kr till valmaterial, som delas ut på staden av frivilliga de sista veckorna innan valet. VHK sponsrar nätverket med anställning och kontorsplats för en samordnare i två månader, samt en kampanjfilm. Nejsägarsången. Sammantaget, inklusive handelskammarens omkostnader, beräknas budget för nätverkets valkampanj vara "omkring 100000 kronor".

Nätverket har i sig omtalats som ett exempel som tydligt visar hur de som hävdar "att diskussionen om trängselskatten har handlat om folket mot etablissemanget" har fel och har under våren 2014 ombetts att kommentera allehanda nyheter kring trängselskatt.

Resultatet vid folkomröstningen blev 56,89% Nej (mot trängselskatt), 43,11% Ja (för trängselskatt) med 73,47% valdeltagande.

År 2015 erhöll nätverket "JA till trängselskatt" Naturskyddsföreningens miljöpris "Kaprifolpriset" för att "under lång tid inför folkomröstningen om trängselskatten försökt få till stånd en saklig och nyanserad debatt samt gjort utförliga genomlysningar av alternativen och konsekvenserna av dessa. När politiker och andra beslutsfattare inte varit helt tydliga i frågan om trängselskatt och varför skatten är en bra och nödvändig åtgärd för Göteborg, har Nätverket Ja till trängselskatt och  Västsvenska Handelskammaren stått upp och på ett tydligt och klargörande sätt redogjort för hur trängselskatten positivt påverkar stadens utveckling och miljö."

Access to Justice Advocate – Janet Mosher
January 30, 2015 April 28, 2015 ajrn1	Leave a comment
Recent reports have underscored the importance of innovation and imagination to the pursuit of access to justice. At the Canadian Forum on Civil Justice, we understand that such efforts come down to people – to advocates. In an effort to spotlight the diverse range of individuals working across the access to justice landscape, we are pleased to present the Access to Justice Advocates blog series. Each month we will profile someone who brings a unique perspective and makes a valuable contribution to the issue of access to justice. Do you know an access to justice advocate? Let us know at communications@cfcj-fcjc.org.
The Canadian Forum on Civil Justice had the wonderful opportunity to meet Professor Mosher at Osgoode Hall Law School to discuss her work in access to justice. As a researcher and teacher, Professor Mosher spoke to us about conceptualizations of access to justice that stimulate her work, as well as the ways in which the intersection between research and frontline advocacy can play a unique role on the access to justice landscape. Her conceptualization of access to justice redirects access to justice advocacy away from courts and towards broader understandings of justice, power and inequality.
