Sony pledges fix for QX lens connection issues as Camera+, Camera360 plan support
Neil Hughes | Oct 04, 2013
Connectivity issues between Sony's newly released Cyber-shot QX10 and QX100 wireless camera lenses and the iPhone will be addressed in a forthcoming software update, the company has revealed. In addition, third-party apps Camera+ and Camera360 are also working on supporting the accessories.
A representative for Sony confirmed to AppleInsider on Friday that an update for Sony's official PlayMemories Mobile application on iOS is planned for the coming weeks. That update will address issues with the software, which cause disconnections from both the QX10 and QX100 wireless lenses when paired to a device running iOS 7.
According to Sony, the current software experiences "initial compatibility issues" with iOS 7. Those issues are expected to be fixed this month.
Sony says the PlayMemories application works as intended on iOS 6. But the software needs to be updated for Apple's recently released iOS 7 in order to fix the connection problems.
Those issues were noted by AppleInsider in its review of the Cyber-shot QX10, in which it was noted that connection problems with Sony's PlayMemories software were the device's Achilles' heel. In addition to taking up to 10 seconds to connect to the lens, Sony's software was also prone to crashes and seemingly random disconnects.
AppleInsider has been provided by Sony with a QX100 for review, but will wait to give a verdict until the PlayMemories application has been updated. The original QX10 review will also be updated to reflect any changes to Sony's software.
Potential improvements for the QX10 and QX100 lenses may also come from third-party developers. Camera360 has revealed that it is planning an update to its well-reviewed iOS application for early this month, which will add compatibility for Sony's wireless lenses.
Sony also disclosed to AppleInsider on Friday that the popular iOS app Camera+ from developer TapTapTap will also update their software to support the QX cameras. According to Sony, that update is expected to arrive "shortly." Developer TapTapTap couldn't be reached for further details.
The recently released QX10 and QX100 are unique smartphone accessories that provide higher quality lenses than a thin phone can provide. They wirelessly connect through Wi-Fi direct to allow an iPhone or Android device to control the lens, and to transfer shots to the phone where they can be edited or uploaded.
The defining feature of the 18-megapixel QX10, which retails for $249.99, is a 10x optical zoom featured on the Sony G lens. The high-end QX100 is $499.99 and sports a higher quality RCMOS Exmor sensor and wide-aperture Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens that takes 20.2-megapixel pictures.

$499 for the "high end", Yet Sony is selling an actual DSLR for only $100 more.
http://store.sony.ca/c/DSLR-Cameras/en/c/S_DSLR_Cameras
And you can step into a Nikon D3100 for only $50 more.
Offer the "high-end" for $249.99 and it'll *maybe* be worth it.

timt999
Filburt is right. An entry level DSLR has an entry level "kit" lens. The Zeiss that Sony is selling is fairly high level glass -- and of course more like a self enclosed camera than a lens.
pscooter63
An entry-level dedicated unit is not restricted to JPG-only output, either. Why can't these models save as RAW?
EDIT: To be clear, no one wants to send RAW via WiFi, but it could at least be available to the memory card.
At any rate, if you're going to spend $500 on a lens attachment ("self-enclosed" camera or not), it means you're serious about taking better photos. It's $500 that *could* go toward an actual camera.
This attachment is bulky, awkward, and expensive.
Image quality is great, I'm sure. But that isn't the issue. The device is just impractical, and very expensive. It's a modified and somewhat stripped version of the RX100 II point-and-shoot. But for some reason consumers who buy this would object to the *actual* point-and-shoot body?
Then there's the lag. Camera-to-phone connection time, in particular.
You might be getting the image quality of a more expensive camera for somewhat less (though not a lot less), but this thing would be a pain in the ass to use.
Additionally, the iPhone (5, at least) *already* takes great photos - for what it is, and then some. Some of them are quite impressive, actually. Just have a look at Kevin Russ' work. There's some impressive iPhone 5 imagery going around, no doubt.
Good on Sony for making an attempt to innovate here, but it's just poorly executed.
iPhone Christmas sales hit by 15% over production problems & weak demand
The latest smartphone sales estimates from analyst firm IDC says the December 2022 quarter saw the largest-ever decline, with Apple selling around 12 million fewer iPhones than in same period in 2021.

Max Gottstein Retinoblastoma Research Fund
A personal campaign sponsored by John Gottstein
In addition to donating to the Maxwell Gottstein Retinoblastoma Research Fund,
Please pre-register to donate blood in honor of Max
Event Date: Friday, March 22, 2018, 2 pm – 8pm
Franklin Elementary School, 136 Blackburn Rd, Summit, NJ 07901
The Maxwell Gottstein Retinoblastoma Research Fund proudly supports ongoing studies at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia under the leadership of Dr. Ann-Marie Leahey, and in memory of our wonderful, magical, beloved Max.
Retinoblastoma is a rare cancer of the retina and the most common malignant cancer of the eye in children. Among the many barriers to progress in treating retinoblastoma is that second cancers can emerge due to faulty and toxic treatments of the past. Your generosity will help CHOP further advance scientific knowledge and clinical options for retinoblastoma, and help them teach pediatric oncologists around the globe new, life-saving standards of care.
About Max: Max was an extraordinary little boy. Despite fighting cancers from the time he was eight months old, he lived a life full of joy and love like no other.
Unfortunately, Max's retinoblastoma journey was also exceptional. Retinoblastoma is a highly curable cancer when treated correctly, especially when diagnosed as early as Max's. Max received treatment at another major cancer center for the first year and a half after diagnosis, where the cancer devastatingly escaped his eye and spread to his bone marrow. Luckily, we found the brilliant Dr. Leahey at CHOP, who not only cured his metastatic disease, but cared for Max and our entire family with unparalleled skill and compassion.
After two years of health, Max developed treatment-induced acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a rare side effect of the high dose chemo needed to fight his metastatic retinoblastoma. He faced this secondary cancer with his characteristic humor and bravery, yet passed away from complications just before his sixth birthday.
Our family fully endorses retinoblastoma research aimed at supporting sound, effective treatments to prevent other children from dying unnecessarily from this very curable cancer. Already, Max's fund has fully supported CHOP's involvement in an international research study by the International Retinoblastoma Second Cancers Consortium, examining the link between retinoblastoma and secondary cancers.
We wholeheartedly thank you for making this research possible, and for helping us support future studies in Max's name. (Max and his beloved Dr. Leahey)

Home | Return Address Stamp Custom Made for You!
So, this week we ordered our Christmas cards. I know, late much? We just tried, and tried again, to get the perfect Christmas photo. Taking a Christmas photo with an eight-month-old isn't easy, even though in your mind you think, okay, we'll all just stand there and S M I L E!, how hard can that be? Eight thousand snaps later, a few adjustments and outfit changes later, we had a photo. And it's probably the most memorable photo we've ever taken. And now we wait for the cards to arrive, which means next week we'll be drinking our eighth cups of coffee and listening to this on repeat and writing out all of these cards at once.
Secretly, I sort of love it. I mean, that's part of the holidays. You wait, and wait, and then ohmygoodness it's already here and then you sort of hurry to get it all done. And it happens every year! At least for me it does. The point of this story? My return address stamp is totally going to save the day.
My hand just can't handle return-addressing so many cards. My patience can't handle it! And it would take far too long. I ordered a return address stamp awhile back and it's the best. So, if you don't have a return address stamp yet, what are you waiting for, honestly? I wish I didn't wait so long to get mine. Thankfully, you won't have to wait long at all; that's because we work with the lovely Sydney over at Studio255 and she knows that everyone ought to have a return stamp, whether it's around the holidays or planning your wedding, which, let's face it, involves a TON of correspondence. That's why we're giving one of them away to one of our amazing readers! Who will it be?

Climate watch
Meet the 11-year-old who sued the Indian government for inaction on climate change
Ridhima Pandey is one of the 16 child activists who filed a complaint with the UN.

Ridhima Pandey says she wants to do everything possible in her capacity to save the climate. | Dinesh Pandey/Mongabay
Along the Ganga, in the ancient city of Haridwar in Uttarakhand, a precocious 11-year-old girl is bristling with anger. Ridhima Pandey is tired of global leaders not paying enough attention to the climate emergency.
So along with Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, Ridhima and 14 other young activists filed a complaint with the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child against five respondent countries, Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, and Turkey, indicative of the largest emitters in the world, to protest lack of government action on the climate crisis. The adjudication of the complaint is done by an independent committee of experts.
"I supported the complaint against these nations because I feel that the global leaders were not giving attention to the climate crisis and they were not taking this matter seriously and as a result, global warming is increasing day by day," Ridhima, whose favourite subjects are science and math, told Mongabay.
The bespectacled pre-teen is not shy of voicing her unvarnished opinions as a young climate activist and is certainly not unaware of the flood of online abuse and spate of conspiracy theories and smear campaigns that have followed Thunberg and other youth climate activists, ever since they started speaking out against the climate crisis.
"I feel very bad as well as angry that some people are criticising young climate activists and I just want to ask them 'what you have done' and then say anything to us," said Ridhima, who led a climate strike in Dehradun in September under the FridaysForFuture movement and has expressed concern over the pollution and cleaning of the Ganga.
FridaysForFuture is a people's movement following the call from Greta Thunberg to go on strike from school. On March 15, an estimated 1.5 million students hit the streets in protest in more than 100 countries for the first global climate strike, while an environmental campaign group paralysed parts of London. A week after the protests, lawmakers in the UK Parliament declared a climate emergency.
In a steely tone, Ridhima said: "I want to say that as we children from all over the world are fighting for climate justice, we hope that it will bring a positive change. This change will benefit those who troll us as well."
The first spark
Her first brush with activism began in 2017 when moved by the devastating Uttarakhand floods in 2013, that claimed hundreds of lives, Ridhima petitioned India's National Green Tribunal to direct the central government to take "effective, science-based action to reduce and minimise the adverse impacts of climate change in the country".
"After the Kedarnath [Uttarakhand] floods I saw that our government was still not doing enough to stop global warming and to protect our environment which our government promised to do in the 2015 Paris Agreement," Ridhima said. "I love nature and wildlife and they perished in the floods. All our government promises are on paper but lack action and that's why I sued my government in 2017."

As a nine-year-old in 2017, she approached the National Green Tribunal as an applicant who was "directly affected by the adverse impacts of climate change and rising global temperatures".
"As a child, she was very curious," her father Dinesh Pandey, a conservationist with Wildlife Trust of India, said. "Even before the floods, she wanted to know why animals are being killed and why trees are being cut."
The 2013 floods spurred Ridhima, then a five-year-old, to learn more about climate change. What followed, recalled her father, was an insatiable curiosity for more information on the natural disaster and events leading up to it.
"I came to know that all these floods and droughts [extreme weather events] are occurring due to global warming and if warming continues it is going to affect our future," Ridhima narrated. "I felt very bad that humans are not doing something to stop global warming and then I started talking about climate issues."
Ridhima emphasised that she is part of a population segment that is most vulnerable to changes in climate in India but is not part of the decision-making process.
Worst hit: Children
Climate change is likely to adversely affect the lives of children and adolescents all over the world, according to the 2014 UNICEF report Challenges of Climate Change: Children on the Front Line. Children and young people represent 30% of the world's population. Over 99% of deaths – already attributable to climate-related changes – occur in developing countries and children makeup over 80% of those deaths, the report states.
Underscoring the backdrop of climate change, the loss of biodiversity and environmental damage, the latest UNICEF report warned that an alarmingly high number of children are suffering the consequences of poor diets and a food system that is failing them.
"I would like to do everything possible to save the climate at my level," she said, adding she plans to launch her NGO to mobilise action on climate change and awareness. "I would like to take up the subject for higher studies."
But, it has not been all smooth sailing for the young activist.
"Sometimes people around me and a section of students in my school mock me by saying what will this kid do?" Ridhima explained. "They say what is the need for all this activism. But later on, many of them have realised the importance of this issue and have started taking an interest in contributing to climate action in their own ways. So I feel making people aware is a key step we need to take."
Her engagements with climate activism translate into a fair amount of travelling for meetings and conferences that eat away into her school hours. But her parents, teachers and her best friends ensure she is updated on the latest in her curriculum.
"The girls in my school at least listen to what I have to say and care about the issue of climate change but the boys don't appear to be so concerned," lamented Ridhima who believes women and girls are crucial to the climate movement. "Girls are more hard-working, sensible, quick-witted and the best example of this is Gaura Devi from Uttarakhand whom we know for the Chipko movement [the iconic tree-hugging protest against the felling of trees] in the 1970s."
Ridhima's mother Vinita who is a beat officer with the Uttarakhand forest department expressed amazement at her daughter's tenacity. "I feel as if she is teaching me and I am the student," she said. "As parents, we are trying to be as supportive of her as possible but like other parents, we have ensured she remains grounded."

In recent developments, Ridhima also appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to prevent trees of Aarey forests in Mumbai from being chopped down for a controversial metro car shed project.
After her stint at the United Nations General Assembly, Ridhima spoke at the Xynteo Exchange in Norway earlier this month alongside Norwegian Sami artist and climate change activist Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen.
According to information on the event's website, Ridhima and Isaksen reflected on "activism in today's social media landscape and its divided reality where the young blame the old for allowing wicked problems to fester, and the old blame the young for being naive and idealistic".
Ridhima said she has made friends with her peers who come from different corners of the world but share similar concerns. "We swap numbers and stay in touch," she said with a sense of camaraderie.
Does she feel nervous at all while speaking at these events? "I do feel a bit nervous initially but once I start talking it just feels right," she said. "And then I think if I don't say anything just because I am nervous then what is the point of going all the way to these meetings? We won't be able to reach out to people if we are held back by nerves."
Ridhima and her peers' efforts have set off a domino effect of protests by goading children and young adults in India to hit the streets to raise their voice against inaction on climate change.
"I am an individual and I want to inspire the youngsters because adults are doing nothing," Ankita Ghosh, a college-goer, told Mongabay during the Kolkata edition of the FridaysForFuture strike. "I want young adults to speak up because they are the future. Maybe because of my presence, others will be inclined to take an interest and speak up."
Talking to Mongabay, Albert van Jaarsveld, Director General of International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis underscored the sense of urgency with which grassroots movements including youth voices are responding to the climate crisis.
Jaarsveld, drawing from his experience in biodiversity, conservation planning, climate change, and ecosystem services, said that political parties are responding to these grassroots movements and it is a positive sign.
"The issue of urgency is squarely on the table and you would have seen that nonpolitical parts of societies have responded to that sense of urgency and our youth movements across the world have taken out the banner and have said that climate is our future and it is encouraging that politicians recognise the movements," Jaarsveld said. "They don't stop it."
Gain in momentum
Youth movements have a long history in the world as also in India, but why is this current form of activism so forceful – is it because they are better coordinated and social media also helps mobilise people?
"Yes, to a certain extent the social media plays a positive role," said Sarmistha Pattanaik, Associate Professor, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. "But, more than social media in modern India, youth has its own culture and values. When they are in the university system, they are more mobilised because the university offers space and provides fertile land for student movements to grow."
Pattanaik believes the participation of young women is vital in these movements.
"It is quite vital, to create a self-identity in the mainstream society for women in a gender-differentiated social structure and culture," Pattanaik told Mongabay.

Claire DeBerg Resigns from Mennonite Women USA
Claire DeBerg submitted her resignation to the Executive Director and Board Chair of Mennonite Women USA on March 21st. DeBerg has worked for Mennonite Women USA since 2012 starting with the title "Editor" and calling for a new job title of "Communications Manager" that would better describe the scope of the position.
During her time with Mennonite Women USA (MW USA) DeBerg led the design and launch of their new website, redesigned Timbrel magazine, led the redesign efforts for Mennonite Women USA branding from brochures and business cards to name tags and banners and launched and maintained the majority of their social media profiles: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, Pinterest and LinkedIn.
"We are grateful for the ease in which Claire utilized the social media avenues so the MW USA presence could be known in many more ways," says Kathy Bilderback, MW USA board chair. "As part of our mission, we hear and share the stories of empowering women and Claire did an excellent job in allowing those stories to be seen and heard while always connecting to our resources. It has been such a gift for us to have Claire be part of our ministry and team."
DeBerg has maintained the organization's mission to focus on a platform of communications welcoming diverse voices in terms of country of origin, race, demographics and economics. She recently led the organization in opening their first online shop where sales of Sister Care materials, Bible Study Guides, t-shirts and more are available. In her quest to make Timbrel magazine available and accessible DeBerg helped launch the ability to purchase print subscriptions online.
"I am deeply grateful for having the honor of working with and for all Mennonite women these last 3 ½ years," says DeBerg. "The work is guided by a profound mission and vision which will continue to inspire me even as I pass the torch." Executive Director Marlene Bogard is leading the search committee to discover DeBerg's replacement.
"Claire has a way of putting a bit of sparkle into her work," says Bogard. "Her personality, faith, ideas and imagination have helped Mennonite Women USA be a bright spot in our denomination."
DeBerg looks forward to expanding the freelance writing contracts she's maintained for the last ten years as she recently opened her Minneapolis writing agency, Cicada.
"I love powerful communication and working for Mennonite Women USA gifted me numerous opportunities to move in the Anabaptist space equipped with purpose and grace—and that is priceless. Because of how I was nurtured and trusted in this organization, I feel empowered to bring that learning to enrich my work with my Cicada writers."
DeBerg graduated with a BA in English from Bethel University in 2001 and earned a Master of Arts in English Creative Writing from University of Northern Iowa in 2005. She was a professor of English for three years before launching her commercial freelance writing business in 2007.
She is a member of Emmanuel Mennonite Church, Minneapolis, MN, is mother to Harold and Gloria and wife to Darren. She has completed her first novel and is working on her memoir. She blogs at clairedeberg.com

What will happen at this event?
Friend-making
Who are the presenters?
Rhoda Blough, of Denver and Teresa Boshart Yoder of Harrisonburg, VA. As staff of Everence, they bring passion, experience and tools for us to understand our relationship with money and our personal health. These professionals will provide handouts, books, journals and other resources.
This is easy! Just click here to register.
Space for 75 women will fill up fast. Spread the word, get registered by August 2 and read your information sheet.
Then…add your prayers to ours for a fantastic weekend.

Six Lessons Learned by Giving up Social Media
by: Emily Kauffman and Morgan Leavy
Morgan Leavy is in her freshman year at Hesston (Kan.) College, majoring in Psychology. She enjoys musical theater, photography, traveling and being with her friends. Emily Kauffman is currently a sophomore at Hesston, majoring in Communications and minoring in Bible. She has developed a passion for the church and a desire to explore how technology is affecting our society and relationships.
This article originally ran in the Hesston College Horizon.
Sherry Turkle, author of the book, Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other, writes, "This is our moment to acknowledge the unintended consequences of the technologies to which we are vulnerable, but also to respect the resilience that has always been ours. We have time to make corrections and remember who we are—creatures of history, of deep psychology, of complex relationships, of conversations, artless, risky and face to face."
In a search to rid ourselves of, as Turkle puts it, the "unintended consequences" of social media, we decided to give up social media for Lent this year. We were in need of a break. A break from the constant mindless scrolling. While the past 40 days have been full of temptation and loss, we have learned so much about ourselves and the world around us.
Here are the big six:
#1 We became more aware of how social media affects our relationships.
On the first day of Lent, I sat down at lunch with some friends. Immediately, I recognized that the five or six people surrounding me were on their cell phones. Continue reading →
The Cost of Distraction
by Jill Schmidt
Jill Schmidt is a member of Mountain States Mennonite Conference's Dialogue Resource Team. She lives in Denver. This piece originally rain in MSMC's Zing newsletter.
One of the biggest changes we face as people of faith is the society-wide impact of rapidly evolving technology and distractions.
This past month, I spent a weekend retreat with a group of First Mennonite of Denver youth. We intentionally relinquished our cellphones for 24 hours as we explored the meaning of Sabbath in our lives.
Through this process, I came upon a prayer in the 2010 winter edition of Seasoned with Peace, a daily meditation book compiled by Susan Mark Landis, Lisa J. Amstutz, and Cindy Snider. These lines from the January 5 prayer contributed by Don Clymer stand out to me in particular, "I confess that I too often plunge myself into busyness to distract myself from the pain of the losses I have experienced personally or from the brokenness of the world I see around me….Help me not to deviate from your paths because of the distractions around me."
As I observed the responses of our youth varying from boredom and distress to relief and comfort, I found myself wondering how times have changed so quickly.
I am considered by many to still be a young adult and yet cell phones were not an active part of my life until my 20s and the internet was just catching speed in high school. And here we are, so dependent and connected to others and information at all times, and yet simultaneously Continue reading →
MEDA to launch "Women Empowering Women" groups
by MEDA
Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA) will launch two women's groups in May. The groups, called "Women Empowering Women with MEDA," will meet quarterly in Lancaster and Souderton, Pennsylvania, and promote the importance of women's economic empowerment as a catalyst for positive change in the world.
Ruth Leaman, regional director of resource development at MEDA, will coordinate the groups.
"Women in developing countries often face social and economic adversities beyond our comprehension, and yet have an amazing drive to rise above these barriers when given the opportunity to do so. After a recent all-women's trip to a MEDA project in Ethiopia, I noticed a phenomenal connection between the Ethiopian women and those on our trip. We shared a strong bond and there was mutual respect and understanding. The women on the trip have a vision to share these meaningful connections with others," says Leaman.
Another woman who went on the trip to Ethiopia shared this story: Continue reading →

Giacomo Giovanni Rossi Biography
Giacomo Giovanni Rossi (1627-1691) was an Italian engraver and printer. He worked in Rome, the heir to an important printing business founded by his father, Giuseppe de Rossi (1570-1639). Giuseppe began the press in 1633 and Giovanni and his brother, Giandomenico (1619-1653) took it over upon his death. The brothers expanded the business and by the mid-seventeenth century it was the best-known printing house in Rome.
For his maps, Giovanni worked with Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola. They produced the Atlas Mercurio Geografico. The first edition is undated, but the second was issued in 1692, a year after Giovanni's death. The maps were by Cantelli. The firm also published maps based on those of Nicolas Sanson.
Later, the business passed to Lorenzo Filippo (1682-?). By 1738, the firm was known as Calcografia Camerale, then, from 1870 to 1945, as the Regia Calcografica. Today, the firm is still in business and is called Calcografia Nazionale. It operates as a free museum and offers one of the best collections of prints and plates in the world.

Michelle Williams has joined the cast of the upcoming 'Spider-Man' spin-off 'Venom' alongside Tom Hardy as the titular role.
Michelle Williams has joined the cast of the 'Venom' movie.
The 37-year-old actress has been announced as the latest star to join the Sony 'Spider-Man' spin-off about the webslinger's arch nemesis, The Hollywood Reporter has claimed.
Although at the time of reporting, Williams' role has not been revealed but joins fellow actors Riz Ahmed and Tom Hardy - who is to star in the titular role.
In May, Hardy was announced to play the villain on Twitter by Sony Pictures and will be part of Sony's Marvel Universe - which exists outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
'Zombieland' and 'Gangster Squad' director Ruben Fleischer is on board to direct the British actor who will play Eddie Brock - the first character to become the alien symbiote - and the script has been penned by 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' writers Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner.
'Venom' marks the first time a Spider-Man villain will be getting their own standalone movie but the character did appear in Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man 3' which he was played by Topher Grace.
The symbiote, created by David Michelinie and artists Todd McFarlane and Mick Zeck, was first introduced in the comic books back in 1988 and is still a fan favourite villain and has appeared in other Marvel Comics including Iron Man, Deadpool and the Hulk.
Sony had planned to release a 'Sinister Six' movie featuring Venom but made the decision to start off with a Venom adventure.
Holland, 20, made his first feature-length outing as the wall crawler in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', a movie which resulted in profit for Sony rather than Disney owned Marvel.

Boehner Defends Criticisms
Written by: Suzanne Hamner
After receiving some unfavorable publicity for retaliative actions, John "sore spineless winner" Boehner has graced the cameras with his presence to defend criticism from his conservative critics. Boo hoo Boehner stated he was being "unfairly painted" as some of the problem in Washington when "he has brought conservative principles and transparency back to Congress."
Yes, he made everything so transparent that he hurriedly ran to Nancy Pelosi to get the "crummy bus" resolution passed before anyone had a chance to read it before the vote and the resolution did nothing to challenge Obama's illegal amnesty.
Despite this action, "Spineless" Boehner stated, "During my years here, when I voted, I had the eighth most conservative voting record in Congress."
If that's the case "Squishy," then please tell American citizens what happened to change you as "inquiring minds would like to know."
Trending: Florida: Your Republican State Senators Just Sold You Out On Gun Rights
Mr. Boo hoo Boehner admitted that it pained him when people called him "spineless or a squishy;" but, the most painful remark is when he is described as the "establishment."
"I'm the most anti-establishment speaker we've ever had," Boehner said.
Boehner defended his record by reminding everyone of his accomplishments.
"Who was the guy who got rid of earmarks? Me. Who's the guy who believes in regular order? Me. Who believes in allowing more members to participate in the process from both sides of the aisle? Me."
Well, Spineless, even a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day.
Boehner declared that he was comfortable in his own self-tanning gone wrong or liver failure orange skin and would do his best to show all members of Congress he's "up to the job" he was given.
Squishy chalked up the attempt to replace him as frustration with his leadership stemming from a broader frustration with the economy.
"The American people are very frustrated," Boehner contended. "They're frustrated in a struggling economy, they're frustrated that they don't think Washington is listening, and they want action."
"This frustration that's out there, they need to take out on somebody. They take it out on the president, they take it out on me, and it comes with the territory," he said.
You just don't get it, do you, Squishy? The American people don't "think" that Washington is not listening; they know Washington is not listening as evidenced by what just happened with the vote to replace you as Speaker, passing of the "crummy bus" resolution funding illegal, unconstitutional amnesty, caving to Obama and Democrats time and time again, and failure to champion or support eradication of unconstitutional legislation along with your "disagreement" with the impeachment provision contained in the Constitution of the United States of America. Personally, I disagree with the President having the power to grant pardons for offenses against the United States, except impeachment; but, it is part of the Constitution and the law. As a reminder, the Constitution is not a Chinese buffet.
And, if you were so concerned about member participation to the fullest, you would stop your buddy Nunes from drafting that retaliative resolution that would prevent anyone dissenting against a Speaker from holding chair positions. Going back even further, you would not have removed Webster or Nugent for voting along their constituent base if you were interested in Washington being a listening post for the masses. You quickly started the "Fred Flintstone" back peddling when unflattering publicity about your actions plastered the news. But now, you are saying no final decisions have been made.
You deserve the label "squishy," since you cannot hold to any decision and waffle like a flag every time the wind blows. The only difference between you and a flag is a flag has a strong pole for a spine to anchor it from blowing away whereas you have none, which accounts for your falling down on the job and the label "spineless."
Take off your blinders, Boo hoo. You are part of the problem in Washington. Exactly who is it you support? It's evident it changes with the hour and minute of the day; but, you consistently push aside, discount and actively work against conservatives in the House and the conservative citizen base. Sen. Mitch McConnell would love nothing better than to "crush" the TEA party, a grassroots conservative movement. If you are unaware, he is part of your party.
On the Rush Limbaugh radio show the other day, retired Utah Senator Robert Bennett stated that Republicans needed to eliminate the influence of conservatives, as conservatives are ruining the party. Bennett stated that the TEA party had gone over the edge and was operating like "Alice in Limbaughland." He went on to say that with the continued interference by conservatives, Democrats would be winning elections for the next 8 cycles. Again, he is a member of your party.
If you are as conservative as you say, Bennett is suggesting you, sir, as a conservative, are ruining the party. But, everyone knows that you proclaiming to be a conservative is nothing but an out and out lie. Members of your own party are making inflammatory statements against the conservative voting base; yet, you remain silent.
Whatever it is you are, Squishy, you are no conservative. You are compromised between the "establishment" and the RINOs while proclaiming conservativism. It's a new category of functioning within the Republican Party which America will see more of in the future. You "conestabRINOs" flip flop so much it would put to shame any fish hauled up on a pier. No one knows exactly where any of you will land when a vote comes around; but, it is obvious most all of you have ceased listening to your constituent voting base.
Open your eyes, Spineless. The frustration from the American people is not just about the economy. It is also about the loss of freedom perpetrated at the hands of government. It is the constant intrusion of government into every aspect of American life from what we eat to forced medical procedures despite exercising informed consent to refrain from treatment. It is the tyrannical, despotic, dictator-like actions of a man occupying the Oval Office that Congress refuses to address. To add insult to injury, the American government supports and aligns itself with our enemies while declaring hard-working, conservative, Christian, 2nd Amendment-advocating, freedom-supporting, patriotic citizens as its enemies while opening its arms to "pardon" millions of non-citizens after they have violated our laws. If this were not enough, add the fueling of racial division, support for Christian persecution, brain washing of our children, the support of the murder of the most innocent of citizens, John Kerry signing the UN small arms treaty, Obamacare, and the support for an immoral lifestyle and you have a culmination of ingredients that amount to a social nuclear bomb counting down to detonation.
So you, spineless, squishy, Boo hoo, are a pitiful excuse for a man—take your lashes, as they are well-deserved and indefensible as you are in essence the captain of the ship "House of Representatives," and a captain is responsible for all actions that occur on his ship. Your ship, Boo hoo, has inadequate leadership for the tasks at hand, and the Tyranny Clock is sitting at 1 minute to midnight.
The same goes for Reid and will for McConnell as it relates to the Senate. But, that is a topic for another day.
In case you need the simplified version for your mentality, Squishy; shut up, put on your big boy pants, and take it like a man.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo's State of the State: NY to sue over federal tax law
Joseph Spector
ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo said New York will sue over the federal tax overhaul signed into law last month, calling it unconstitutional and an "assault on New York."
In his State of the State address Wednesday, Cuomo continued to rail against the tax bill approved by the Republican-controlled Congress and signed by President Donald Trump.
He said he will sue over the law and look to reform New York's own tax code, perhaps through the payroll tax, in response to the federal action.
"We believe it is illegal, and we will challenge it in court as unconstitutional," Cuomo proclaimed to a standing ovation.
More: Gov. Andrew Cuomo: GOP tax bill would 'rape and pillage' New York
Cuomo, who is seeking re-election in November and a prospective presidential candidate in 2020, has threatened a lawsuit over the law for weeks, saying it targets blue states like New York.
He said New York provides more than $40 billion more to Washington than it receives in return — a disparity that he says will get worse under the new tax reform.
Republicans, however, have disagreed with Cuomo's assertions, saying most New Yorkers will see lower income taxes under the federal overhaul.
The standard deduction is nearly doubling and income tax rates are falling.
"I was proud to deliver significant tax cuts for millions of working families across New York," said Rep. Chris Collins, R-Clarence, Erie County.
"Perhaps Governor Cuomo should focus more of his efforts on doing the same."

Photonics, Rochester 'Riverway' highlighted by Cuomo in State of the State
Cuomo said his public campaign against the law will be called "Tax Fairness for All," and he will explore "a plan to restructure the current income and payroll tax system."
Specifics of his plan will be released when Cuomo proposes his 2018-19 state budget for the fiscal year that starts April 1.
But he hinted at looking at ways to change the state's payroll tax to avoid a major hit from the federal government.
In particular, the federal tax law caps income-tax deductions at $10,000 for state and local taxes — which hurts high-tax states like New York.
"We are developing a plan to restructure our tax code to reduce reliance on our current income-tax system and adopt a statewide payroll tax system," Cuomo said.
Ban public money from being used in sexual-harassment settlements, Andrew Cuomo says
He suggested the state will look to establish new charitable organizations so residents can still donate and take the income-tax deduction.
And he said he will look to close the so-called "carried interest loophole," a tax break that largely benefits Wall Street.
"If we do not fix this problem, it is a question of the state of New York's viability long-term," he continued.
The state Business Council cautioned against any tax plan that would hurt companies, saying it would be a step backwards from laws in recent years aimed at improving New York's business climate — which has ranked among the worst in the nation.
"We have major concerns with a new payroll tax and with increasing business taxes to offset reductions in federal taxes," said the group's president, Heather Briccetti.
"As the governor and the Legislature begin to tackle what will surely be a difficult budget season, we ask that they remember these simply words, 'First, do no harm.'"

Attitude Status: Attitude in Hindi. Attitude Status in English and Punjabi. Hello! Welcome to my website. This is 2018. Everybody is searching for new and updating things from internet, some websites has old content and some has new content. Mostly people are searching attitude statuses from all over the world. In this article we have the best attitude status for 2018. You can use these statuses for Facebook and WhatsApp. Here is little introduction about attitude read this and know what is exactly attitude.
To investigate the relationship between attitudes and behavior.
LaPiere travelled round America with a Chinese couple, expecting to meet discrimination as a result of anti Chinese feeling. At the time prejudice against Asians was widespread and there were no laws against racial discrimination. They visited 67 hotels and 184 restaurants. Six months later, after their return, all the establishments they had visited were sent a letter, asking whether they would accept Chinese guests.
They were only refused at one of the establishments they visited, and were generally treated very politely. Of the 128 establishments which responded to the letter, 91% said they were not willing to accept Chinese guests.
Attitudes do not always predict behavior. Cognitive and affective components of attitudes are not necessarily expressed in behavior.
The LaPiere's study shows that the cognitive and affective components of attitudes (e.g. disliking Chinese people) do not necessarily coincide with behavior (e.g. serving them).
Importance / personal relevance refers to how significant the attitude is for the person and relates to self-interest, social identification, and value. If an attitude has a high self-interest for a person (i.e. it is held by a group the person is a member of or would like to be a member of, and is related to a person's values), it is going to be extremely important.
As a consequence, the attitude will have a very strong influence on a person's behavior. By contrast, an attitude will not be important to a person if it does not relate in any way to their life.
The knowledge aspect of attitude strength covers how much a person knows about the attitude object. People are generally more knowledgeable about topics that interest them and are likely to hold strong attitudes (positive or negative) as a consequence.
Attitudes based on direct experience are more strongly held and influence behavior more than attitudes formed indirectly (for example, through hear-say, reading or watching television).
I hope you exactly know what is the attitude. Know I am sharing with you the best Attitude status in almost all major languages.
"मेरी फितरत में नहीं अपना गम बयां करना ,अगर तेरे वजूद का हिस्सा हूँ तो महसूस कर तकलीफ मेरी..
"अपने कमाए हुए पैसों से खरीदो, शौक अपने आप कम हो जायेंगे..!!
"वफादार और तुम….?? ख्याल अच्छा है, बेवफा और हम……??
Shahar mein teri jeet se zyada charche toh meri haar k hain.
Pehle bhi kai toofano ka rukh moodh chuka hu.
Waha se meri Nawabi suru hoti hai.
Dil mein atta hu samajh mein nahi.
Ache hote to duniya jeene nahi deti.
Main Jeeta Hun Apne Ghaamo Mein Nawabo Ki Tarha.
Jab Tum Mujhe Apna Kehte Ho Apne Aap Pe Garoor Aa Jaata Hai.
Hum Aese Sikandar Hain Jo Lashkar Nahi Rakhty.

You are here: Home / Employee Relations / Abuse of process to file human rights application after executing a full and final release
By Christina Catenacci, BA, LLB, LLM, Ph.D. | 2 Minutes Read October 19, 2012
Abuse of process to file human rights application after executing a full and final release
I recently read a case where a human rights claim was dismissed. After an employee had signed a full and final release with the employer and then filed a human rights application, the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal found that it amounted to an abuse of process. As the complaint covered the same subject matter as the release, the result was that the human rights claim was dismissed.
The employee, a personal support worker in a long-term care facility, filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the ground of colour and creed, and reprisal.
Essentially, the employee felt she was subject to harassment at work, and brought her concerns to the manager. Instead of dealing with her concerns, the employer forced her to resign and sign a Minutes of Settlement. Then, the employee filed a grievance alleging her union did not represent her properly. The employee argued at the human rights hearing had nothing to do with her previous grievance against her union.
The problem was the release she had signed with her employer.
The employer requested that the application be dismissed because the employee had already signed a release covering the same subject matter.
Interestingly, the employee claimed she did not understand what she was signing due to her adjustment disorder and depressive mood disorder.
Notwithstanding that claim, the Tribunal agreed with the employer.
It was clear that the Tribunal had found on a number of occasions that filing a human rights application after executing a full and final release amounted to an abuse of process. Those applications end up being dismissed.
On examining the provision at hand, it was clear that the parties intended the Minutes of Settlement to be a final settlement and the employee was not entitled to pursue any further remedies regarding her employment, or the termination of her employment. This included remedies under the Human Rights Code.
Indeed, there were factors that could help set aside the release, but they did not apply in this case. The factors included:
whether the employee fully understood the significance of the release
whether the employee received sufficient and fair consideration for signing the release
evidence of economic pressure
evidence of psychological or emotional pressure amounting to duress
There was no medical evidence showing that the employee lacked the capacity to understand the Minutes of Settlement – her condition did include cognitive impairment that would prevent her from understanding, and the clinical notes provided from an assessment after the fact stated she had no formal thought disorder or cognitive impairment.
Moreover, the employee did not sign the Minutes of Settlement under duress. Therefore, the application had to be dismissed.
What can employers take from this?
Having a release is important when dealing with a departing employee who receives a settlement.
Also, when asking an employee to sign such a release, it is recommended that the employer:
make it clear for the employee to understand, and allow some time to think it over and seek independent legal counsel
provide sufficient and fair consideration for signing the release
do not pressure the employee in any way

The transition from pre-school to school is a big step and milestone for your child and will bring about a lot of excitement and maybe even some nerves too! With encouragement and a little preparation, the transition to 'big school' can be smooth and seamless. Most children settle into school happily ready to make new friends, learn and take on the next step of their education.
Here at Finchley pre-school, we work together with you and your child to ensure their transition is as exciting as possible, reassuring and encouraging them to look forward to the next period of their school life. While your child will be excited at the prospect of change, new friends and new discoveries, it can also bring about some nervousness at leaving behind what they know to become more independent.
There are many different ways you can help make the transition for your child as positive as possible and prepare them for a new chapter of school.
Arranging a meeting for you and your child to visit their future teacher can be a good thing to put their worries at ease. It will give you both a chance to ask lots of questions, and for your child and their teacher to get to know each other. You can take a look around the school environment and reassure your child that they will have a great time moving to the 'big school'. Some schools also offer a home-visit system so teachers and children can meet in a more familiar and comfortable environment.
Visiting your child's future school will give you both a chance to look around and get familiar with the new surroundings. During your visit, you can find out what your child will be doing at school and look around the facilities. Doing this will make the first day more familiar and comfortable as they will know what to expect.
Discuss how it's great to make new friends and how they can introduce themselves to new people by smiling and talking about their interests. We're sure your children will naturally fall into friendships, but it's good to give them a little encouragement too.
Head to the library or a book shop to find some starting school books to read through with your child. The books may help them feel at ease or discuss any concerns they have about the transition.
Your child will need a new uniform and school essentials, so arrange an exciting shopping trip to look for shoes, school bags and lunch boxes. Look at it as a fun day out rather than a chore that you have to do and make it all about them and their exciting new adventure to school!
If you would like to discuss about preparing your child for school, or find out how we help children at Finchley Pre-school, please get in touch – we'd love to chat!

One of the best blessings any couple can receive is having children. Whether you have just given birth to your child or are about to deliver a month later, shopping for baby garments and gears require you some knowledge and preparation. Read on to learn of the best tips to keep in mind when shopping for baby gears.
Amidst all kinds and types and baby things there are to be seen and selected from, you need to pay high attention to choose the cribs, cradles, furniture items and even garments that are durable. Durable baby gears provide you with some sort of security that your kid will all be safe with them. Weak baby feeding furniture, for instance, does not make you feel confident at all.
Another benefit of choosing durable baby items is that you can get much savings. Since they last long, they can be used for a long time without you needing to think about repairing or replacing them. Durable and robust baby cribs, cradles, furniture and strollers may be passed on to the next children or generations.
When it turns to selecting gears and things for your baby, you want to pick the ones that come with good looks and appeal. And if you are the kind of person who becomes so specific with design details, you do not have to grow stressed in the process because the market comes with an abundant supply of baby gears. By mere look, you can determine right away the design that is much better than the rest. But there are also instances wherein it becomes a need for you to check and identify the features that are added onto the feature. Aside from good looks, functionality and features make up the design.
Whether you like it or not, you most of the times change your buying choices and decisions because of price. Basically, you want to purchase baby things that do not cost that much. However, you cannot be sure that there will always be affordable items available in the store where you usually do your shopping. Somehow, it is ideal to scout first for pocket-friendly baby gears. Consider checking out different baby gear stores to know how much are their prices for the type of items that you need to buy. For the brand and style of baby gear that you need, choose the store that offers it at the best price.

Erici de Cízic (en llatí Erycius, en grec Eρύκιος ο Κυζικηνός) va ser un poeta grec nascut a Cízic, que té alguns epigrames seus recollits a lAntologia grega. Va viure al segle I aC, probablement en temps de Sul·la i va florir cap a l'any 84 aC. Amb el mateix nom d'Erici hi ha també a lAntologia grega un altre epigramista, Erici de Tessàlia, els poemes dels quals es confonen de vegades per estar molt barrejats i no se sap quin dels dos n'era realment l'autor. Només se sap que la majoria d'epigrames eren de tema pastoral i que l'autor en va ser aquest Erici de Cízic.

Due to a retirement, Keeseville Independent Baptist Church (IBC) located in the foothills of the beautiful Adirondack Mountain region of upstate New York is looking for a candidate to fill the position of Senior Pastor. IBC is a well-established ministry whose goal is to fulfill both the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. We are a family of believers who truly love each other and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The Pastor of IBC must possess character and integrity as described in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1, have a firm knowledge and conviction of the Scriptures, and be able to teach God's truth clearly to others from the pulpit and individually, instructing in discipleship and training the church to do the work of the ministry. As the under-shepherd of Christ's flock, he must have, and show, a deep care and concern for people. He should lead and provide vision to the church, working in concert with the deacons as part of a leadership team who are mutually accountable to one another.
The ideal candidate would have a Master's degree in Theology/Divinity (or equivalent) or above and 10 years of pastoral experience. A focus on expository preaching that also highlights and makes relevant many of the struggles a typical person has in our current culture is preferred as well as the ability to offer wise and godly counsel to those in need. Experience with ministering to younger families and how to increase their attendance and participation in ministry would be welcomed. Musical ability and leadership, though not necessary would also be a plus.
A generous compensation package including salary, housing/car allowance, and employer-paid family health insurance is included.
Email is preferred contact method.

Wildlife Review
Beautifully shot and fairly compelling for a refreshingly simple story, but the entire thing is almost a bit too technical, a bit too controlled. The writing and directing keep you at a distance for far too long, and the entire arc of the story struggles to build emotional resonance. It's almost as if Dano and Kazan, in the name of being understated, didn't particularly develop any aspect of the story and instead relied on sad domestic drama bullet points. I'm also just not as impressed with Oxenbould as everyone else seems to be; the performance isn't interesting enough to have him be the focal point, though I'm a fan of the idea.

Domiciliary Care aims to make it possible for people to remain in the comfort of their homes and close to their loved ones, while having their medical and healthcare needs taken care of. Patients can access TCM clinical services such as consultation, treatments and prescribed medication without the need to leave their homes. It provides patient convenience and helps to preserve patients' dignity and respect.
Our experienced TCM physicians will visit patients at their homes to conduct the consultation using traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic methods. These include observing, listening and smelling, inquiring as well as pulsing. This is followed by prescription of the treatment which is tailored to the patient's condition, stage of ailment and body constitution. Various treatment modalities can be prescribed singly or in combination, such as herbal medication, acupuncture and Tui Na. Which domiciliary care package is suitable for the patient? Patient will be assessed by physician to determine his/her medical needs. Physician will then recommend a suitable package accordingly; else only single home visit charge applies.
Intensive package – Suitable for stroke patients within 2 weeks after the onset of condition*.
Maintenance package – Suitable for palliative care to relieve pain and improve quality of life*.
*Physician will diagnose and advise necessary treatment and if a domiciliary care package will be helpful after the first home-visit consultation. The speed of recovery/improvement is also dependent on the patient's response to the rendered treatment.
