The Early Years of American Government
By renae.peden
The Magna Carta, also known as "the great charter," stated that monarchy was not absolute and all people were guaranteed trial by jury and due process.
Jamestown Settled
Jamestown was settled by 104 English men on the banks of the James River. This began America's first permanent English colony.
Mayflower Compact Written
The Mayflower Compact was a written agreement drafted by New Plymouth settlers. It has since been lost.
The Petition of Right was drafted by the English Parliament and signed by the King of England. It challenged the idea of divine right. In addition, it stated that the monarch was not above the law..
English Bill of Rights
The English Bill of Rights forms the basis for much of American government today. It was designed to prevent any kind of power abuse by the English monarchy.
A group known as the "sons of liberty" dressed indians and dumped 45 tons of tea into the Boston harbor in retaliation to the tea tax imposed by England. This was one of the many events which helped spark the American Revolution.
Albany Plan of the Union
The Albany Plan of the Union proposed that one general government be formed in America, including all the said colonies. In this new form of government, each colony could retain its previous constitution, except when a change was nessecary. It was rejected.
Stamp Act
The Stamp Act was a direct tax imposed by the British Parliament. It required many printed materials to be produced on stamped paper made in England.
The Boston Massacre was an incident that led to the deaths of five civilians at the hands of British troops on March 5, 1770, the legal aftermath of which led the American Revolutionary War. A heavy British military presence in Boston to enforce the Townshend Acts led to a tense situation that boiled over; five civilians were killed.
Intolerable Acts
The Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts, were a series of five laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. It was a major factor that lead to the American Revolution. The first continental congress was called a s a response to these acts.
First Continental Congress
A convention of delegates from 13 British North American colonies. They met to discuss and develop some kind of response to the British "Intolerable Acts."
American Revolution Begins
The 13 colonies in North America decided to officially break free from the British Empire. After Congress wrote the Declaration of Independence, the United States of America was at war with England.
Second Continental Congress
A meeting of the 13 colonies; established the militia as continental army to represent what would become the 13 states.
A declaration written to King George, citing all of America's grievances with England and announcing that the 13 American colonies which were at war with Great Britian were now independent states. This date is commonly seen as the "birthday" of the United States.
Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution of the United States. It was adopted after the American Revolution; however, it gave much power to the individual state governments.
Shays Rebellion
A group of poor, struggling farmers led by Daniel Shays rebelled against the government. This rebellion influnced Massachusetts to ratify the US constitution.
Connecticut Compromise
This agreement, a compromise between the Virginia and New Jersey plans, was reached during the constitutional convention. It stated that congress should have a senate and a house of representatives. Our system of government today is based on the Connecticut Compromise.
Philadelphia Convention
This convention was held to address growing government problems in the United States. Although the convention was supposed to revise the Articles of Confederation, many who attended hoped to draft an entirely new constitution.
Constitutional Convention
This meeting in Philadelphia was held to address growing concerns about the young U.S. government.

The sales process is evolving. From the contact center to the row of cold callers in the bullpen, change is at hand, and it's taking a distinctly digital direction. Innovation is driving an era of digital transformation, with customer service and sales serving as key beneficiaries to this boom. These knowledge workers are now officially part of our SaaSy reality.
"Our goal is to transform the B2B sales process with advanced AI rules-based digital advisors for the front office and digital administrators for the back office. Offering an alternative to a web-based interface with a personalized conversational interface is the next step in our journey," said Leslie H. Swanson, CEO of eXalt Solutions.
Gartner projects that by 2020 85 percent of customer interactions will take place without a human, let's run through how the newly released "Knowledge Bot" will work toward this reality. Users can put one instance of meta data or rules into the platform and deploy an engagement experience. And because Knowledge Bots are shared across chat and web, the customer experience is seamless. In addition, the chatbot creates customized conversations, offering customers a contextual interaction. A pitfall for chatbots traditionally is complexity, but with Knowledge Bot, it possesses a library of expert knowledge in order to address complex conversations and issues – and offer action steps as recommendations.
The offering involves three iterations of digital knowledge workers. Digital Analysts provide increased visibility and the ability to predict and act accordingly on change; Digital Administrators create added agility through a more connected environment; Digital Advisors aid buyers in offering access to smarter ways to shop and solve problems, as well.
Are chatbots in your contact center?

Need to persuade commissioners of the value of your services?
Need an easier way to record evidence of what you achieve?
Need to demonstrate how you contribute to the achievement of Health, Social Care and Public Health outcomes and indicators?
Need to work out how you save money for these other sectors?
Lack time and resources to undertake a detailed mapping exercise?
If you answered yes to any or all of these, you need our new Service Impact Tool – a quick, easy-to-use framework developed with Interactive Toolkits for recording the evidence needed to demonstrate the value of your services to local authorities, statutory services, and other key stakeholders.
We all know the valuable contribution housing related support services for older people make to the achievement of NHS, Adult Social Care and Public Health outcomes as well as the potential cost savings. The challenge is demonstrating this both locally and nationally. The SiT will help you do this locally. Erosh will do this nationally by periodically collecting your data.
You will of course want to know a bit more about what the SiT will look like! It is presented in standard Excel format so too large to include a full image here but to give you can idea how it will work …..
This example of an (NHS) indicator shows how you would record your contribution to it and the potential cost savings.
You will be able to record your contribution against any of the national health, adult social care and public health indicators and will easily be able to link to the original documents for reference. You will also have access to the Department of Health National Schedule of Reference Costs 2013-14 whichprovide individual unit costs, e.g. an ambulance call-out, overnight stay in hospital, etc. This will help you calculate potential savings as a result of your contribution.
You will also be able to add in your own 'other' indicators to highlight better the contribution and savings your services make.
You will be able to filter data to narrow down what you want to see according to your own needs and, when you have entered your data, charts will be produced which reflect overall totals. Again these can be filtered according to your own needs.
The SiT is a simple tool which is designed to help you attribute some value to what you do and to help you with those tricky conversations where you want to convince key stakeholders of the value of your services. We also wanted something that was relatively inexpensive and quick to develop, easy to use and cheap for you as we know your resources are limited. That is not to say we won't develop the SiT in the future. Depending on feedback we receive about this initial version, we may develop additional functionality to be available as options to suit your budget.
We know our members continue to be challenged by the economic climate. We have therefore consciously kept developments costs to a minimum which means we are able to offer members an exceptionally low price for this kind of product – an all inclusive member rate of just £250 (non-members pay £500). The SiT will of course help you save the staff costs involved in 'preparing a case' to demonstrate the valuable contribution your service makes. Complete this form to order directly or contact Kate Chapman, Membership & Good Practice Administrator. Email: info@erosh.co.uk Tel: 0333 011 5804.

23 October 2018 - YEREVAN - The Aurora Humanitarian Initiative has announced eleven recipients of Aurora Gratitude Scholarships. Young people from seven Middle Eastern countries began their studies at United World Colleges (UWC) around the world in September 2018. The scholarships allow students to live safely, with support and receive a strong education. All recipients are either refugees, living with the loss of one or both parents, or come from marginalized communities.
The 2018 scholars come from Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq, selected by their respective UWC National Committees. The Gratitude Scholarships are concrete expressions of the appreciation of Armenians for the people of the Middle East who offered shelter and food to those displaced by the Armenian Genocide a century ago. The scholars will be based at United World Colleges around the world including Armenia, Norway, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands.
"We are proud to welcome this year's Gratitude Scholars. The Aurora Gratitude Scholarships make it possible for students to achieve their dreams. This is especially important for those young people whose lives have been seriously impacted by conflict and displacement. We strongly believe in the power of education to sow understanding, unite people, create peace and positively impact our world to create a more sustainable future. The past, current and future students of the UWC schools are part of a movement, they have the opportunity to learn and help each other; it's the cycle of giving," said Veronika Zonabend, Chair of the Board of Governors at UWC Dilijan.
"We believe this scholarship is an opportunity to foster inter-cultural exchange and understanding of humanitarian values among young people, bringing them together to learn from and with each other to create a future generation who will exemplify the values of gratitude, generosity and humanity," she added.
The Gratitude Scholarship program, valued at over $7 million, also includes the Amal Clooney Scholarship, the Charles Aznavour Scholarship and the Lamya Haji Bashar Scholarship. Over the duration of the program, 100 promising students and potential future leaders from countries affected by unfortunate circumstances such as conflict or poverty will benefit from the opportunity to study at one of the United World Colleges international schools and colleges. To date, 62 students have been the recipients of Aurora Gratitude and other Aurora scholarships, affording them the opportunity to study within the UWC and American University of Armenia network to gain a meaningful education and internationally recognised qualification. The students are selected based on their academic and extra-curricular engagement and their future potential as young leaders in their communities.
Alice Al-Mohammad, one of the recipients of this year's Aurora Gratitude Scholarships, said: "I am truly grateful for the opportunity to receive an Aurora Gratitude Scholarship and super excited to start the academic year at UWC with my fellow scholars. This opportunity means a lot to me because I have the chance to experience a better educational system and to meet and learn with students from diverse backgrounds. Before I was offered this scholarship, I have always felt passionate about the freedom to express my ideas but I did not have the confidence to do this, however, this scholarship is an opportunity to pursue my passion. I'd like to thank the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative for creating a platform based on humanitarian values."

Four unfinished save games I can't delete
Friday 16th of October 2015
I had to buy a new laptop recently, after my old one melted (thanks Dell). After I'd transferred my files to the new one I started looking for what else I wanted to keep, particularly any games I had installed and what progress I'd made in them.
If I finish a game I usually don't care about keeping the save file, because if I ever play it again I'll start from the beginning. But there were a few games that I'd not finished, but also not played for a while. Despite not having any time to play them in the immediate future I still found a strange urge to keep their save game files.
Mass Effect looks great on paper. A sprawling space adventure from the same people who did KOTOR, but free from the creative restraints of the Star Wars universe. The game casts the player as some kind of elite space cop, with a customisable band of associates, a cool ship to fly around in, loads of planets to explore, multiple missions to do, moral quandraries, firefights, aliens, future-y stuff by the boatload and almost total freedom to explore it. Also your ship comes with a buggy to explore worlds with. The internet raved about it, and my anticipation for it was immense.
Almost from the start something was wrong. The mildly interesting opening shooty/explore bit was followed by a lengthy sequence aboard a bland and sterile space station, filled with dull conversations with aliens I had little interest in. The climax of this sequence was a lengthy meeting of some sort, in which I found myself so bored that I skipped most of the dialogue. I gather I got some kind of promotion, but it didn't seem to make a lot of difference. Where was the fun in attending a meeting?
Having persisted through what I'd hoped was just the dull bit at the beginning, I finally got back into my ship and out into space ready to explore. This was it, I thought. Finally the fun stuff - and then I ended up on a planet where the tedium of formulaic adventure games hit hard. Some hapless settlers, with a series of predictable needs... could I just go down the corridor and get their generator started, and then talk to this guy about the defenses, and see a man about getting them some food, and so on, and so on.
I gave up. I'd had enough. Mass Effect became a game that I felt like I wanted to play, yet each time I played it I ended up not wanting to anymore. And yet having invested this much effort in it and knowing that by rights it should be a good game, and a game I'd enjoy playing, I can't give up on it just yet. I know there's a good game in there somewhere. I just have to find it.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl
STALKER (I'm not going to keep typing the periods) is another game that looks great on paper. Lost in a decaying open world of mutants and anomalies and spooky, abandoned areas, trying to survive and explore. STALKER can best be described as challenging and atmospheric. Or possibly really difficult and depressing. I've played a good chunk of it, and I'm still not sure which it is.
It's not a game that helps you very much. When I first started I thought it would be a rich, detailed experience much like Fallout 3 or Oblivion, but it really isn't. I wandered happily off into the wilderness armed with only a small pistol and was very quickly killed by a group of wild dogs. Restarting, I went in search of the same dogs to enact vengence, but before I could find them I was killed by a group of wild pigs. Aaaaand repeat. Eventually, after a lot of hard work and some patience, I managed to find a decent gun and realised that I had to play this game differently in order to survive.
The environment doesn't help to lighten the mood. It seems to be constantly raining and the soundtrack is mostly a series of drawn out sorrowful notes. Most of the people you meet either ignore you or huddle around camp fires and mutter in Russian. It's kind of bleak. One time I got caught up with a bunch of guys trying to defend a warehouse. I found a good spot up in the roof to snipe at the enemy as they came through the gate alongside one of the other defenders, who actually spoke to me. I was just beginning to enjoy myself and feel like I wasn't alone in this radioactive wasteland when he took a bullet to the head. I think the body is still slumped on the stairs up there.
STALKER, in contrast to Mass Effect, is a game that I think I won't enjoy playing and then when I play it I end up enjoying it. It's just that if I leave it too long afterwards all I can remember is how hard it is, how there's no fast travel, very little resources, and how I keep getting killed by well armed soldiers or bands of scavengers or pigs or dogs. When I think about it like that it's depressing. One day I will finish it. I'm fairly determined. I just need to be in a really good mood before I start, otherwise the psychological toll will be too much.
Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords
Or, to be more specific, Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod. KOTOR 2 was a brilliant but flawed game that I have completed on several occasions, but TSLRCM adds back in a lot of content that was stripped from the original release, resulting in a fuller and more logical game.
I was very much enjoying it until I got to the fabled droid factory section near the end of the game, which was quite enjoyable until a large room filled with an overwhelming number of enemies stopped me in my tracks. Something about the unsubtle nature of the challenge (just kill everything) and the perceived difficulty of doing that put me off, and I've not played it for probably more than a year now.
This game is unusual in this list because throughout playing it I've enjoyed it immensely and was playing it regularly without signs of stopping. I guess sometimes a game has bits that aren't as much fun as the rest of it.
Lego Harry Potter Years 1 to 4
Harry Potter isn't something that interests me particularly. I wanted this game because I liked the other Lego games in this series and I wanted a new one to play. Admittedly that may explain my reticence in completing it, and also my inability to follow or understand the plot. My general understanding is that Harry is a wizard at a wizard school, there's some kind of Darth Vader-esque supervillain antagonist figure, and various predictable elements along the way like dragons and elves and whatnot.
The other reason I never completed it is because it's one of the most bug filled games I've ever played - there's one right in the main menu for starters, which I am baffled passed quality control. I was also unable to get through a particular level owing to a crash that always happened at a certain point - until on a hunch I turned all the graphics settings to low.
This one definitely falls under the investment of time/completer finisher/ocd category of games for me. It's kind of fun, but most of that is because of the Lego, not the Harry Potter.
A note on keeping save files
Transferring save files is usually fairly easy but finding them is not. For example, Mass Effect's saves can be found here:
C:\Users\(User)\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Save
...whereas STALKER's can be found here:
C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\STALKER-SHOC\savedgames
You can forgive two separate development houses for using two completely different paths, but let's see how a Telltale handles their Lego games.
Lego Harry Potter (1-4):
C:\Users\(User)\AppData\Roaming\WB Games\LEGO Harry Potter
Lego Batman 1:
C:\Users\(User)\AppData\Local\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Batman

Lego Star Wars 3:

Alastair Cook became the fifth-highest run-scorer in Test history as he achieved an emotional a farewell century in his final international match on Monday.
The former England captain moved past Kumar Sangakkara's tally of 12,400 on the fourth day of the final Test against India at the Oval.
That helped England, who are looking to wrap up a 4-1 series win, to a comfortable lead with current skipper Joe Root also unbeaten and edging towards a century of his own.
It was a 58th Test half-century but Cook, 33, undoubtedly had his sights set on improving that by reaching a 33rd ton.
Before that came Sangakkara's landmark, which he reached at 76 with a single into the leg side off Mohammed Shami.
He reached his century is somewhat bizarre circumstances, however.
On 96, Cook just prodded Ravindra Jadeja for what looked like a comfortable single initially. Jasprit Bumrah had another idea, though, and thought he saw an opportunity to run the opener out.
But his attempt proved very inaccurate and with no Indian fielder backing up it ran away for four. Of course, Cook didn't mind and the reception he received when he finally reached the landmark was something special.
The match will be the last of Cook's prolific 12-year international career after he announced his intention to retire last week. He will bow out knowing only Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Jacques Kallis and Rahul Dravid have scored more Test runs, while he has also become the highest-scoring left-hander.
Root, who resumed on 29, made steady progress at the other end to pass 50 in 81 deliveries.
His efforts included sweeping Ravindra Jadeja for two fours in one over but he did survive a scare on 46 when he was dropped at slip by Ajinkya Rahane off the same bowler.

Hot TV Robots: Futurama's Bender
The shiny metal robot goes on a legal fight for human-android relationships.
Continuing our look at sexy television androids, this time let's shake things up a bit go from live action to animation.
And, believe me, no artificial being is more animated than Bender Bending Rodriguez, of Futurama
"This is a simple matter of justice, which I'm not normally for. So please, vote yes. After all, our love isn't any different than yours, except it's hotter, 'cause I'm involved."
The product of Matt Groening (of The Simpsons) and David X. Cohen, Futurama dearly loves to play with just about every cliche of science fiction: aliens, mutants, heads in jars, suicide booths, starships, intelligent parasites, virtual reality, cybernetic implants and, you guessed it, androids.
Well, robots, if you want to get nit-picky as Bender (voiced by John DiMaggio) can in no way, no-how pass for a human. And he's fine with that, thank you very much—or, as he likes to say you can "bite my shiny metal a**."
While other artificial life forms might be sweet and innocent, Bender is anything but. Leela (voiced by Katey Sagal), his co-worker at Planet Express, sums him up perfectly: an "alcoholic, whore-mongering, chain-smoking gambler."
And that's why we love him.
So why is Bender here? As any fan of Futurama can attest, for every moment of hilarity the show also either plucks at a heartstring (damn them for Jurassic Bark) or tickles the intellect.
With Bender, Futurama delves into more than a few issues around artificial intelligence—and artificial intelligence and sex. Putting aside the silliness that robots in Futurama have genders, or in one episode they reproduce sexually, Bender still raises a lot of interesting questions.
One is that Bender was created fully conscious (in one episode) and is supposed to be equipped with a back-up unit: his digital consciousness can be transferred to another body if he were disabled. In that same episode, Bender learns that, ooopsie, he never received one of those units, leading him on a bit of artificial soul searching when he realizes he's not functionally immortal.
As with The Simpsons, Futurama also enjoys exploring social issues. In "Proposition Infinity," Bender and another co-worker, Amy Wong (Lauren Tom) develop a relationship—and rouse the ire of those who feel that "robosexuality," sex between a robot and a human, is wrong.
Bender's appeal before the court is as playful as it is touching and sincere:
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury… Oops! Sorry, force of habit. I support this proposition because I'm in love with a goopy, flesh-and-blood woman, and not surprisingly, she loves me. This is a simple matter of justice, which I'm not normally for. So please, vote yes. After all, our love isn't any different than yours, except it's hotter, 'cause I'm involved.
When you boil it down, though, it's in spite of—or because of—his nature that the other characters on Futurama actually care about, or even love him. This is what makes his appearance here too perfect.
Futurama might be for laughs, but as with the best humor, there's a truth underlying it all: love is love—though with Bender it'd be much, much hotter.

M. Christian
M.Christian loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer he has six novels,12 collections,100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to his name. His non-fiction regularly appears n many sites, but he's most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.
Of his erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that "M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing he can't write about … and brilliantly."
Reflecting his unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, his stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. His collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.
While a majority of his stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, his fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.
As a novelist, M.Christian's versatility is on full display with and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.
M.Christian has worked on the industry's production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.
Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sextech products, M.Christian's non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—his ongoing work for Future of Sex.
If there's anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it's teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with his friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, he's lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.
M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love's Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.

What is this java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: NULL about? Have no issue with 3.0.5.

A: This means there is a version mismatch--most likely with spring classes. So make sure all your spring jars are 3.1.0. Especially spring-expression. (Also upgrade your JPA provider (hibernate?) if it doesn't work after fixing spring)

A: It may help you.
