The Safe Streets and Communities Act, S.C. 2012, c. 1 (Bill C-10), has been extremely controversial.
Combining amendments from nine separate bills that had failed to pass in previous sessions of parliament, Bill C-10 makes fundamental changes to almost every component of Canada's criminal justice system:
New criminal offences
New and increased mandatory minimum sentences
The selective elimination of conditional sentences
Increased pretrial detention and new, harsher sentencing principles for young offenders;
Longer waiting times before individuals can apply for pardons
Increased barriers for Canadians detained abroad who wish to serve the remainder of their sentence at home
The Bill also introduces some changes outside the criminal justice system:
Amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act would grant the Minister of Immigration broad discretion to deny work permits to any foreign national who is 'at risk of abuse';
Amendments to various pieces of legislation to allow victims of terrorism to sue certain foreign entities and governments for damages
Justice critic Jack Harris stated "We think it will lead to more punishment but not safer streets, not a deterrence against criminals and in fact there will be more victims, more crimes and less safety on our streets."
The Canadian Bar Association (CBA) has concerns with several aspects of the omnibus crime bill, including mandatory minimum sentences and overreliance on incarceration, constraints on judges' discretion to ensure a fair result in each case, and the Bill's impact on specific, already disadvantaged groups.
"The impact on northern residents, Aboriginal people and people with mental illness will be especially profound," says Dan MacRury, of Sydney, Nova Scotia, chair of the CBA's National Criminal Justice Section. The CBA believes that the Bill will make already serious criminal justice system problems much worse, with huge resource implications.
The CBA Section released a position paper stating that bundling several critical and entirely distinct criminal justice initiatives into one omnibus Bill is inappropriate, and not in the spirit of Canada's democratic process.
"Even more important than our concerns about the process is our concern about the general direction of these initiatives. The CBA is committed to public safety, and there is broad consensus among reputable Canadian criminal justice experts as to what is most effective in achieving a safer society.
In our view, the initiatives in Bill C-10 go in a contrary direction. They adopt a punitive approach to criminal behavior, rather than one concentrated on how to prevent that behavior in the first place, or rehabilitate those who do offend. As most offenders will one day return to their communities, we know that prevention and rehabilitation are most likely to contribute to public safety."
Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said the implementation of the various aspects of legislation will be "spaced out" over a period of time.

•	Tetanus and diphtheria (Td) should be given every ten years. If you have an injury with a rusty nail, an animal bite or a dirty puncture wound, and it has been more than 5 years since your last vaccine you will need a booster sooner.
•	The flu vaccine should be given yearly. Every year the vaccine is put together based on the flu strains that will be most likely to infect the population.
•	The Pneumococcal vaccine is recommended for all adults 65 and over. It is recommended for those adults over 50 who have asthma, diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, HIV or depressed immunity.
•	The varicella or shingles vaccine is recommended for those 60 years and over who have had chicken pox in the past. It can either prevent shingles, or diminish the severity of shingles develops. For those who have never had chicken pox, the chicken pox vaccine is recommended.
•	For those who travel, hepatitis A and B vaccines, and a variety of other vaccines may be recommended, which are determined based on where you go.
If you are behind on your vaccinations, it is time to get caught up! It could save your life.
1.	As a mindful person, you will begin to notice how much better you feel by eating healthy and losing weight. That in and of itself will be motivating.
1.	If you have been sedentary for a while, it is important to start moving slowly. Try little things such as parking your car a little further from wherever it is you want to go. Or, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Start small and gradually increase your activity level.
2.	The key to overall fitness is to incorporate exercise into your life so that it becomes automatic. Maybe it is as simple as walking your dog once or twice a day or taking two 15 minute walks around the block when you have break-time at work.
3.	Walking is one of the easiest ways to get moving. Increase your distance slowly. Make sure you have good shoes, stretch and before you start on an exercise program, make sure your doctor approves.
4.	You don't need to belong to an expensive club to exercise. There are activities you can do at home that can work those calories off. These include: vacuuming, gardening, and house cleaning. If you keep on moving they qualify as exercise and are extremely productive.
5.	An easy way to gauge your progress with exercise is to use a pedometer. You can find inexpensive ones at Target. You wear it on your waist or belt and it counts your steps. You want to aim for 10,000 steps a day, but if you aren't a big exerciser, try for 5000 steps a day.
These are just a few quick tips, but if you follow them you will be amazed at the results!
1.	There is a simple, cheap way to reduce stress. It can be done anywhere at any time and requires little to no equipment. The stress reducer I am referring to is meditation. Some of you fellow boomers learned transcendental meditation in the seventies. If you have never done it, there are great beginner CD's that can give you a short guided meditation to get you started.
2.	There are many pleasant ways to reduce stress. Massage is one of these ways. Many of us feel guilty having a massage, but no need. Regular massages can reduce your stress hormone levels. By reducing your stress hormones, massage can actually help you to lose weight. Try it, you'll like it!
3.	Guided imagery is another great way to reduce stress and thus help us to lose weight or keep us from gaining weight. It will relax you and can help you lose weight.
4.	Find an exercise that you like that can also relieve stress. Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong are just a few that you could check out. If you have pain in your knees aqua tai chi is a great choice and may be available in pools near you.
It is a new year and that means many of us will be resolving to lose weight. Here is the start of a series that may help. The first set of suggestions is to be mindful of what we eat. So many of us eat without thinking about what we are doing.
1. How often are you conscious of what you are eating? Do you taste every bite? Do you chew and swallow one bite at a time. It takes at least ten minutes for your brain to catch up with your stomach and register that you are full. If you stay conscious while eating and can eat and appreciate each bite, you will probably eat a lot less and be satisfied!
2. When you eat with other people you will tend to match the pace of their eating. The faster they eat, the faster you will eat. If there is music playing with a quick beat, you will be shoveling food in to the pace of the music. Being mindful of your surroundings will help you to slow your pace and enjoy every bite.
3. Most of us have been conditioned to finish our food and clear our plates. We eat till our plates are empty regardless of how full we may be. Try leaving half of your food on your plate, especially in restaurants. Then take half of it home for leftovers. You can control your calorie intake and have an extra meal at the same time.
4. Have you noticed that as we have gotten larger, so have our dishes? Plates and bowls are growing in size. Bagels are at least twice the size that they were when we were growing up. If you look at the portion size of pasta you will find that one bowl usually equals four portions of pasta as defined by the National Dietetic Association (a portion is ½ cup)! Portion control is essential in maintaining a healthy weight.
5. Are you eating out of hunger or is it due to boredom, stress, or depression? I have had moments of stress when I will pull out a full bag of chips and suddenly notice that they are empty. Being mindful includes knowing when you are hungry, eating what you need and enjoying each little bite. If you find yourself eating for reasons other than hunger, it is time to take it outside….and walk!
4.	If you have a sweet tooth, satisfy it with fruit. Apples are a great choice. They contain pectin that help you to feel full longer as well as provide great fiber.
3.	Go for a walk someplace you have always wanted to go (to a park you pass on the way to work or a favorite hiking spot.
4.	Find a healthy place to shop and find some new healthy foods that you might want to try.
8.	Start a journal and write whatever comes to mind for 15 minutes a day.
9.	Ask one person for help with one little thing. It could be folding laundry, filing papers, shopping for supplies, whatever you need help with…just one little thing!
10.	Pick one night and do nothing but what you want to do. It could be just sitting listening to music, reading a book, taking a dance class, etc.


Horse racing at Saratoga Springs.
New York's newest commercial casinos have failed to meet their projected revenues, creating uncertainty around the opening of a fourth casino early next year. In an interview with City & State, Alan Woinski, president of Gaming USA Corp., a New Jersey-based gambling consultancy group, weighed in on the future of the state's casinos and racinos. The following is an edited transcript.
C&S: How likely do you think it is that the casino revenue projections will be met for the three casinos that are currently open?
AW: No way. The only way that happens is if you close up a bunch of the racetracks. That's probably the only way they have a shot at making it. The reality is, there's just not enough business to go around. There's a very big problem in the industry, and that is, they seem to think that if you build a bigger casino, you will get all the customers. But when you talk about regional or convenience gambling, the majority of people will just go to the nearest slot machine or table, not the one in the nicest property.
C&S: Do you think that this is part of a larger trend?
AW: Absolutely. Ohio opened – their four casinos were $1 billion below what the revenue was expected to be. The first property opened in Massachusetts, which was a racetrack casino, it was well below expectations. So there's really a few ways of looking at this. The casinos have been very successful in creating jobs. For example, the Rivers Casino and Resort – what they've done in that entire Albany area up there. The problem is the gaming revenue. Now, it's easy for lawmakers to sit there and say, "Well, we're not going to give these new casinos a break" (by providing revenue to struggling casinos). But what they don't realize if they don't give them a break, they're going to have to start laying people off. They're going to wind up eliminating the one thing that they have been doing correctly. That's what the state has to understand. Sometimes you cater to the ones that make the big investment, not the ones that have been there the longest. I said a few years ago that any new casinos that open in the Northeast, it becomes a zero-sum game. And what I meant by that is, what gets taken away from the others kind of offsets whatever benefits you get from the new properties.
C&S: Do you think the planned Resorts World Catskills will meet its revenue projections?
AW: Well, if it does not, then the whole state is sunk. That casino cost more than the other three combined. Resorts World – you're spending over a billion dollars on a market that's probably going to be four months out of the year. It's going to be like Atlantic City. Nobody from northern New Jersey or New York City is driving out to the Catskills in the winter just to gamble. There's no way. With a one-lane highway? There's no way that's going to happen. So, I think everybody in New York has to kind of get a little realistic on what this market is and start making changes based on it. If this new governor here in New Jersey is able to convince lawmakers to put a casino in the Meadowlands, it's all over for New York. They'll be able to drive 100 trucks through the hole in their budget because it will wipe out Resorts World in Queens, Yonkers and Resorts World Catskills all in one shot.
C&S: Why do casinos struggle with competition?
AW: Gambling customers are kind of fickle at times. Some of them will only go where there's marketing and promotions, other ones will just go to the ones closest to you and then other ones will go where they're treated the best. They've kind of got three different customers and everybody's going after the same one. I totally understand the racetracks being concerned. They can't market like the casinos because they pay too much. At this point, what's the sense in keeping them around? Granted, you'd lose a lot of jobs, but you'd have to kind of figure out whether you want jobs, whether you want tax revenue or whether you want both. And to get both these days, from a casino, it's not going to happen because somebody else in the state is going to get hurt. And they'll wait for Resorts World Catskills, but I don't think they're going to be pleasantly surprised by what happens there.
C&S: Do you think that a solution would be to just make more realistic projections?
AW: Here's the problem: The commission subs it out to consultants. And unfortunately, in this business, consultants usually tell either the company or the state what they want to hear. A consultant isn't going to be hired again if they give bad predictions. So, if a consultant comes in and says it's going to make X amount, and the casino comes in with a more realistic amount, they're just not going to get the bid. So what incentive does the casino have to come in with a really realistic number? Because somebody else is going to be coming in with an unrealistic one. And a lot of them don't do it on purpose. I'm sure these three casinos had to base their opinion on the fact that they were going to be in noncompetitive markets, just like the state had promised. Now, if the state really wanted a noncompetitive market, why didn't they pick one in Orange County, New York? That would've been the best location for a casino.
In 2013, voters approved an amendment to the state constitution to allow for full-scale casinos to be built in New York, in addition to existing racinos, which combine racetracks and video lottery games, and casinos on Native American land. However, all three of the new commercial casinos have failed to meet their projected revenues, while a fourth set to open in 2018 that has cost $1.2 billion to build. Here are the locations of casinos, racinos and Native American casinos across the state.


Voice: Why Does My Heart Shiver?
I left my house barefoot with my children after it was demolished on top of our heads; we made it with a miracle and with the grace of God. I moved to another house but the bombing would not stop and no one was left in the neighborhood; it became the town of fear and terror that we heard about when we were young, the one we imagined in the stories told to us by our grandmother. It became the city of death…snow is falling and it covered the ground, it is cold but in my heart is a fire that burns, and a fear that is melting my insides. Whenever I hear a bomb my heart would jump through my ribs. How do I get out, and who will help me get out? Finally God sent us an escape, and I left with my children as they were screaming and holding on to me out of fear. "L" was saying: I want my father…dad…dad, and "N" was screaming: I have stomach ache, and I knew her heart was shaking with every sound of a bullet and a bomb that she hears. "Y" looked like a frozen statue, and my one-year-old curled up in my lap. The speed of the vehicle fastened my heart beats and I could hear them pounding in my ears. We finally arrived at two thirty in the morning to a house outside of Baba Amro, and they received us as if we were family. My children slept but I couldn't sleep with the sound of the bombs, my son and husband had remained in our neighborhood…I shiver, yet I do not know if it is out of cold or fear or maybe both.

Q: How to convert to editable table without losing web connection to query or losing manual date So basically I am having a table with the columns S.No, Name, Lvl, ALvl, No of Creds, Creds Req, Max Creds, ACreds, Rating, Cred Collected. The only things which I get from website are Name, Lvl, Cred Collected (in this particular order). So I need only those to update while the rest I can calculate using Excel Formulas and some through manual updation. The only problem is every time the query updates, I lose all the other column values (goes back query default I kept when creating it). Any idea if that is possible.

A: When you have an outside information association, you can use the connection properties to point to another database table or query. You can even compose your own SQL explanations. SQL (Structured Query Language) is the language that relational database systems (such as Microsoft Access) use to perform various tasks. You can pass instructions right from Excel by using SQL statements. This can give you more power over the information you maneuver into your Excel model.
Albeit a nitty-gritty conversation of SQL is unimaginable, how about we stage somewhat outside our customary range of familiarity and alter our outer information association utilizing a straightforward SQL explanation to pull in an alternate arrangement of information.
Go to the Data tab on the Ribbon and select Connections. This activates the Workbook Connections dialog box shown here.
Choose the connection you want to edit and then click the Properties button.
The Connection Properties dialog box opens. Here, you can click the Definition tab.
Change the Command Type property to SQL and then enter your SQL statement. In this case, you can enter:
SELECT * FROM [Sales_By_Employee]
WHERE ([Market] = ' Tulsa')This statement tells Excel to pull in all records from the Sales_By_Employee table where the Market equals Tulsa.
Click OK to confirm your changes and close the Connection Properties dialog box.
Excel immediately triggers a refresh of your external connection, bringing in your new data.

A: According to my research, this seems to be the default behavior.
When data is taken from the web site, it automatically populates all the data in the current table and is directly empty if the corresponding cell does not have data.
As a workaround, I suggest you create a second table, set the corresponding fields in this table, and then copy the corresponding data to the original table

More than 300 tenants owe a staggering combined total of £284,000.
More than three quarters of Nuneaton and Bedworth council tenants claiming Universal Credit are in debt with their rent – to the tune of more than a quarter of a million pounds.
There are 405 Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council tenants who claim the benefit and, of those, 311 of them owe a staggering combined total of £284,000.
In fact they account for 27 per cent of all the £1,061.070 in rent arrears that are owed to the Town Hall.
Universal Credit went live across the borough on October 25 and councillor Keith Kondakor said the policy is "appalling".
"It seems to have been rushed through, while the principal of Universal Credit seems to be a good one, the details are absolutely dire," Cllr Kondakor added.
"What it is doing to rent arrears and to people's ability to rent a house, obviously a lot of people will not want to rent a house to people who might be in receipt of the Universal Credit because of the difficulties, so we are putting more strain on the borough council .
Cllr Kris Wilson , leader of the Conservatives, brought some balance to the figures, saying: "I don't think anyone is going to pretend, even the government won't pretend, that Universal Credit is going swimmingly because, when you introduce any new system, particularly where there benefit problems, there will be teething problems.
"It is always unfortunate because there is always a person at the end of claim, at the end of a warrant of eviction.
"But looking at some of the details of the report, it states the total arrears accounts for 27 per cent of the arrears outstanding but what the report doesn't state how many of those were in arrears before Universal Credit hit.
Cllr Julie Jackson, leader of the Town Hall , quizzed Cllr Wilson and said: "Do you think the introduction of Universal Credit has had no increase then, no effect on rent arrears?"
Cabinet members agreed to note the report and the steps being made by the council, including employing Financial Inclusion Support Officers (FISO) to help those facing trouble.


What is Endoscopic Carpel Tunnel Release?
Endoscopic carpel tunnel release is a surgical procedure that releases the transverse carpel ligament, releasing pressure on the median nerve, relieving the carpel tunnel syndrome symptoms.
How is Endoscopic Carpel Tunnel Release Performed?
Endoscopic surgery uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached (endoscope). The endoscope is guided through a small incision in the wrist (single-portal technique) or at the wrist and palm (two-portal technique). The endoscope allows Dr. Mohemani to see structures in the wrist, such as the transverse carpal ligament, without opening the area with a large incision.
The cutting tools used in endoscopic surgery are very tiny. The cutting tools are inserted through the small incisions in the wrist or wrist and palm. In the single-portal technique, one small tube contains both the camera and a cutting tool.
During endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery, the transverse carpal ligament is cut, releasing pressure on the median nerve, relieving carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms.

Drive Sleepy
Today I headed out to the theater with my roommate to watch a movie. I had not heard much about the movie beyond Ryan Gosling plays an assassin (which he actually doesn't) and I made the assumption that there was to be some driving in this movie, based mainly on it's title. The movie was Drive, starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Albert Brooks, Ron Perlman, Oscar Isaac, and Christina Hendricks.
Drive is about an unnamed stunt driver (Ryan Gosling) who works in a garage belonging to Shannon (Bryan Cranston) and also moonlights as a getaway driver. He's apparently really good at driving. So good that Shannon goes to mobster Bernie Rose (Albert Brooks) to get financing in order to back the Driver and enter him into NASCAR. Bernie agrees once he's seen the Driver live up to his namesake and parallel park like no other. Bernie's brother, Nino (Ron Perlman), isn't excited about his brother's new business venture, but doesn't pay it much mind. Back at the Driver's apartment (which is super shitty for someone with 3 high paying jobs), he starts getting close with his neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan) and her son Benicio. But then her husband, Standard (Oscar Isaac), comes back from jail to rejoin the family. The Driver comes home to find Standard badly beaten with Benicio looking on. He finds out that Standard owes protection money and was beaten because he refused to take on a job to rob a pawn shop. The Driver agrees to help Standard with the job in order to get him and his family out of the situation for good. The heist turns out to be a set up by Nino to steal a million dollars from the East Coast mob and Standard is killed. Driver takes this opportunity to show off his other skills in killing people, but does not change his name to Killer. I think that movie's already been made.
For a quick version of the differing views between my roommate and I; he loved this movie, I fucking hated it. But I'm the reviewer here, so his opinion can wait. This movie moved so slow that I might have preferred a movie called PaintDry about a painter who moonlights as a painter and is the best there is at what he does. And we watch that paint come to completion of it's drying process. There is a bit of a car chase in the very beginning where nothing really happens, so much so that I hesitate to even call it a car chase. He gets spotted by a helicopter, then hides under a bridge and waits till it leaves. He gets spotted by a cop car, speeds up a little, and hides in a stadium that's just letting a game out. After that, expect no action until about an hour into the movie when Standard gets shot. In between, lots of awkward conversations between the Driver and Irene that move at about a sentence per minute. When the action finally does happen, it's somewhat exciting but usually brief, with a handful of really graphic deaths like stomping a man's head to putty. But this is one of those movies you see with a friend and ask them what they think afterwards and are completely shocked to find out they had the exact opposite reaction. My roommate thought it was amazing.
This movie made a couple of odd decisions that pissed me off too. (SPOILER ALERT) And I say spoiler alert but I'd also feel pretty bad if you sat through this movie because of me anyways, but if you want to see this movie come back and read this after. At one point, when the Driver has decided to take out Ron Perlman, he goes to the trailer of the movie set he was doing stunt driving on and grabs the mask he wears during the scenes; a creepy mask reminiscent of Michael Myers from Halloween. But he didn't use or need this mask! All he does is drive up to the pizza place Nino owns and stands outside. Then he wears the mask as he kills Nino. But if you kill him on a beach away from everyone, why do you need anonymity? And at the very end, the Driver kills Albert Brooks and leaves the million dollars with his corpse. I know this is supposed to say something about the character of the Driver, but to me it says he's a fucking idiot and the screenwriter is as well. (END SPOILER)
The setting of this movie had me very confused throughout. I could see that it seemed to be in LA, or at least somewhere very similar, and based on the cars being driven and the clothes Gosling wore (some really gay silver blazer with a gold scorpion on the back), I thought the movie was happening in the 80s. The movie's strange 80s-like soundtrack kept me thinking the same. It wasn't until about an hour and a half into the movie when I saw a stripper texting on an Android phone or something that I finally figured out this was supposed to be the present. At that point I was probably more interested in the fact that I had managed to stay awake that long. My roommate, however, loved the soundtrack.
The performances were the one good thing to the movie. When Gosling wasn't awkwardly talking with Irene, he was cool and calm in the most dire of situations. The kind of badass character that I'd like to see in an action movie one day, and not so much in a pretentious art student's version of an action movie. Ron Perlman was probably at his least annoying in this movie. Albert Brooks' character was pretty awesome. He was a very bad man that did very bad things to guys we liked. I liked this for Albert Brooks. I've never seen him play a character like this. He was interesting every time he was on and, again, I think I'd like to see this in a good movie. Bryan Cranston was also very good, but he typically is. My roommate tells me that Christina Hendricks is famous from television, but I don't know who she is and she left no impression on me whatsoever. The problem with the performances is that I never gave a shit about any character in this movie. But that's not the fault of the performers, it's the fault of the screenwriter. Probably the director too, but he seemed more interested in throwing in unnecessary glory shots of LA at night than character development. We don't even get to know the name of the main character, for crying out loud.
When I left the theater, I looked on Rotten Tomatoes to find out if I was the only one who hated this movie. I apparently was. This movie received a 93% at the time I'm writing this. I'm not sure if I just went into the movie with bad expectations or if this movie just sucked. But since I'm the only one that hated it as far as I can see, my review is that you should see it and either agree with me or tell me why I should've liked it. I give this movie a "Zzzzzzzzzzzz" out of "Wake up, we're at Grandmas".

2561st birthday of Confucius celebrated in China

BEIJING, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Ceremonies were held across China Tuesday to commemorate the 2561st birthday of China's great philosopher,Confucius.
A ceremony in Confucius' hometown, Qufu City of east China's Shandong Province, gathered officials, descendants of Confucius and experts from home and aboard.
Chen Zhili, vice chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, attended the ceremony in Qufu.
"It's very informative. I hope it can continue in this positive direction," commented Larry W. Hurtado, professor with the University of Edinburgh, at the ceremony.
"Confucianism is very traditional. But there are many positive elements," said Hurtado.
Also Tuesday, more than 150 students and teachers from the central and southern parts of Taiwan joined in commemorations at a Confucius temple in Beijing.
At the ceremony, participants called for more communication and cooperation across the Taiwan Strait.
Commemorations were also held in Jilin, Tianjin, Guangxi and Zhejiang. A group of Confucius' descendants celebrated the day in their family temple in Quzhou in eastern Zhejiang province.
Similar ceremonies in the city of Tainan, Taichung, and the east coast county of Ilan in Taiwan also drew huge crowds, including local officials and residents.
Earlier this week, scholars from China's top universities, including Peking University and Tsinghua University, proposed Sept. 28 be declared Respecting Teacher Day.
Confucius (551-479 BC), an educator and philosopher, founded a school of thought called Confucianism that deeply influenced later generations. He was also the first Chinese to set up private schools and enroll students from all walks of life.

Klein New Media is excited to reveal the new Regenexx website. The site represents what is now an international brand and network of the most sophisticated musculoskeletal experts in the field of interventional orthopedics and regenerative medicine.
We were tasked in the middle of last year to do a refresh on the Regenexx brand, which started with a logo redesign and advanced into a complete overhaul of the brand to better convey the premium brand that Regenexx has become. As world leaders in orthopedic stem cell procedures and research in a rapidly growing field, it was important to set Regenexx apart from the competition in a big way.
The result is a website that inspires visitors more than any medical website we've visited before and encourages visitors to take action in overcoming their conditions to return to activity.
This is just the next step in the evolution of the Regenexx Network. We're proud to work with this client on a daily basis, improving marketing, conversion measurement, and network growth, as well as the success of individual Regenexx clinics nationwide and around the world.


(REUTERS/Dominick Reuter) Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gestures after speaking and taking questions at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, June 17, 2015.
The Federal Election Commission released s 92-page personal-financial-disclosure report filed by Donald Trump as part of his presidential campaign on Wednesday.
Trump's campaign released a statement on July 15, the day he filed the disclosure with the FEC, saying it would reveal that he has a "massive" net worth that is "in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS." The statement indicated the report would not fully detail Trump's fortune as it is "was not designed for a man of Mr. Trump's massive wealth."
"For instance, they have boxes once a certain number is reached that simply state $50 million or more. Many of these boxes have been checked. As an example, if a building owned by Mr. Trump is worth $1.5 billion, the box checked is '$50,000,000 or more," the statement said.
Trump's claims about his wealth have far exceeded other estimates. Forbes currently lists his net worth at $4 billion. Trump has also cited a few different figures since launching his presidential campaign last month.
At his announcement, Trump released a one-page report that described his net worth as being approximately $8.7 billion, but he indicated it would be more than $10 billion after an unspecified "increase." In the statement last week, Trump's campaign said the single page document he unveiled at his campaign launch was actually out of date.
"Mr. Trump's net worth has increased since the more than one year old financial statement produced at his presidential announcement," the statement said. "Real estate values in New York City, San Francisco, Miami and many other places where he owns property have gone up considerably during this period of time. His debt is a very small percentage of value, and at very low interest rates. As of this date, Mr. Trump's net worth is in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS."
Business Insider obtained a copy of Trump's financial disclosure with the FEC. You can read it below. We will provide further updates as we review the document.

These creepy facts will mess with your head, you probably have no idea that these facts existed because you've always tried to avoid them. If you came this far, make sure you read every one of these 50 creepy facts.
1. A Chankiri Tree or Killing Tree is a tree in the Cambodian Killing Fields against which children and infants were smashed because their parents were accused of crimes against the Khmer Rouge. It was so the children "wouldn't grow up and take revenge for their parents' deaths"
2. Mount Everest is covered in frozen corpses because removing them is very unsafe and time-consuming. They are easily viewed from the climbing routes and some are used as trail markers.
3. If you get a blood transfusion and get the wrong type of blood (A, B, O, AB) one of the symptoms is "a sense of impending doom"
4. Cockroaches have been recorded eating human flesh, both living and dead, as well as fingernails, eyelashes, feet, and hands. The American cockroach and German cockroach are more likely to bite humans than other species.
5. Female mummies in Ancient Egypt were always more decomposed than their male counterparts. They discovered that this was because male bodies were embalmed a lot sooner than female bodies. Female bodies were kept at the family home until they started to decompose in order to avoid necrophilia at the embalmers.
6. They used real corpses in the 1982 film Poltergeist, for the ending pool scene. The actress did not know until AFTER the scene was filmed.
7. After raping his blindfolded victims, the Golden State Killer would be super-duper quiet and pretend like he was gone, and right when the poor victims would start to move towards the phone or try to untie themselves he would scare the fucking shit outta them.
8. There is a fungus, Cordyceps, that can actually brain-control insects, forcing them to move to a higher location where they will eventually die and release more Cordyceps spores.
9. Elmer McCurdy was a failed old west "outlaw." His preserved body was put on display in a traveling carnival and years later he was eventually assumed to be a mannequin until he was used on set for the TV show The Six Million Dollar Man. His arm accidentally fell off during the shoot, revealing bone and muscle and that he was a corpse, not a mannequin.
10. One reason that crows and ravens are associated with death is that they would often follow armies as they marched to battle. Being both carrion birds and extremely intelligent, they realized that a large group of armed men marching on one direction meant that there would be a tasty meal of corpses to eat soon afterward.
11. The men of the ship Essex (the true event that inspires the story "Moby Dick") avoided islands after being shipwrecked for fear of cannibals. The islands were settled and landing there would have brought salvation to the survivors. Ironically because of this bypass, the men ran out of food and were forced to eat each other for survival.
Two of the sailors were later rescued by an American ship. They were alone at sea for so long and had to cannibalize their crewmates to survive.
When they saw their rescuers, they immediately stashed bones in their pockets. They didn't seem to care that they were rescued. They were obsessed with the bones of their fallen crewmates, so they can suck on the bone marrows. Even after they were onboard the ship, they refused to depart from the bones and would even attack anyone who would come close.
12. In the Czech Republic, there is a church called The Sedlec Ossuary that has decorations made entirely of human bones. This happened because there were too many people in the cemetery to bury everyone, and the church leaders claimed that if their bones became part of the church, it only made them closer to God.
13. The Colombian serial killer Pedro Alonso Lopez, who is known as the Monster of the Andes, raped and murdered over 300 girls from Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia. However, after he was caught and imprisoned for 18 years, he was put in a psychiatric hospital. There he was reviewed, declared to be sane, and was set free, in spite of his blatant avowal that he fully intends to kill again. Since he was released in 1998, nobody knows where he is or what he's doing. ( He is supposed to be 71 years old at present).He is known for being the most prolific killer ever.
14. There is a genetic disease called "fibrodisplaysia ossificans progresiva". When tissue is damaged, it is replaced with bone. Growths from underneath their skin and their joints lock solid So over time those affected slowly become encased in a prison of bone just beneath their own skin.
They usually have to choose between sitting or standing up for the rest of their life. By the end of their life they have to drink every meal through a straw and can barely move
15. Rosemary Kennedy was JFK's sister. She suffered from oxygen deprivation at birth and that, unfortunately, stunted her mental growth. She had a pretty decent childhood, but as she grew older she began to act out. Afraid that her behavior would risk his political career, her father, Joseph, agreed to have her lobotomized. Her mother, Rose, was against it and forbade him from doing it. So he did it behind her back when she went on a trip.
After the operation, Rosemary's already low IQ was lowered even further, to the point she could no longer walk or communicate. Her family had her locked up in an institution and basically disowned her. They never visited and never publicly acknowledged her anymore. Rosemary died at the age of 86. Her mother never forgave her husband for what he had done.
16. Human eyes don't reflect light at night like animals do. I like to say this fact to my wife at a campfire.
17. Lobsters don't age, their cells don't decompose. They grow so big that they spend more energy to shed than they can reserve and die of exhaustion.
18. Imagine being totally aware of someone performing CPR but you physically can't move or respond. Well, that's what happens when you get bitten by a blue-ringed octopus, you have approx 6minutes between being bitten and someone starting CPR to keep your heart and lungs functioning to ensure you survive, all whilst being totally aware of what is happening to you. Neurotoxins are fun!
19. You should play dead if a bear attacks you unless they start licking your wounds because that means they plan to eat you.
20. Your brain can play tricks on you to make you see monsters in the mirror, called the Troxler Effect. The Troxler Effect is an optical illusion that affects how you perceive things, both visually and mentally.
21. More than 7000 people die annually due to the doctor's bad handwriting.
22. The astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger most likely didn't pass until they hit the water miles below the initial explosion.
'Astronaut and NASA lead accident investigator Robert Overmyer said, "I not only flew with Dick Scobee (STS-51-L Commander), we owned a plane together, and I know Scob did everything he could to save his crew. Scob fought for any and every edge to survive. He flew that ship without wings all the way down … they were alive."'
23. Men who are hanged get a death erection, known as rigor erectus.
24. The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems.
25. According to Abe Lincoln's bodyguard Crook, he said Lincoln had a dream about his own assassination 3 nights in a row before he was killed.
Crook told Lincoln NOT to go on that fateful night, and all Lincoln said was, "Goodbye, Crook," before he went to the play.
This was VERY ODD as Lincoln always said goodnight NOT goodbye.
26. There's a spider that gives you a 3h long boner, before you die from its bit
27. It's quite common after you die to burp a lot as you have more gas build-up. Dead bodies can also sit up on their own sometimes.
28. The interior of the Capela dos Ossos in Portugal is made up entirely of human bones.
29. Xylaria Polymorpha is a saprobic fungus commonly known as dead man's fingers
Xylaria Polymorpha
30. It wasn't until 1987 that the American Academy of Pediatrics declared it unethical to operate on newborns without anesthesia. Until surprisingly recently, the medical community felt it would be dangerous to give infants anesthesia and/or believed that they didn't feel pain.
31. Since 1900, over 13,000 people have been murdered by serial killers in the USA.
32. The bottom of Lake Superior is cold enough that the bodies of dead sailors just…remain. they don't really decompose because it's at freezing temperatures, so they instead get a coating of adipocere(think that's how it's spell) which is liquid body fat, hardened around them.
33. Human brains when they dry out smell like cat piss- that stinky ammonia smell.
34. There's a parasite that enters a fish's mouth, eats the tongue, and replaces itself as the fish's new tongue.
35. Hearing is the last thing to go after you die. You just might hear the paramedics and firefighters call off CPR.
36. After getting stung by a cone snail, you don't feel the sting for a little bit. There is no antivenin and it can be lethal. Treatment is basically keeping the victim alive until the venom wears off.
37. The stonefish, an incredibly venomous fish living in tropical waters mostly off the coast of Australia and parts of the US, can cause pain that only escalates with time. Eventually, the pain will subside but even after the barb is removed, patients have reported increasing pain 12+ hours later. Without antivenom or denaturing the venom with excessive heat, the pain builds and builds until the patients request euthanasia. Its spines hold the venom, hidden in its dorsal fins. Aboriginals living around the Great Barrier reef have "corroborees," large gatherings, and will during these gatherings hold reenactments of people being stung by this monster.
38. CNN has had a pre-recorded broadcast from the 90's which they will premiere during the end of the world.
39. The black mamba is the fastest snake which can slither at a speed of 12.5 miles an hour (20km/hr). They have neurotoxins that are fast-acting. The venom shuts down the nervous system and paralyzes the victim. Its venom is able to kill 10 people and it repeatedly bites. To add to this, there is an almost 100% kill rate and can kill in 20 minutes.
40. Cockroaches have been recorded eating human flesh, both living and dead, as well as fingernails, eyelashes, feet, and hands. The American cockroach and German cockroach are more likely to bite humans than other species.
41. It was once discovered that a fir tree was growing inside a human body. Artyom Sidorkin went to the doctors suspecting something wrong with his lungs. The doctors thought they were dealing with a tumor but turns out he had inhaled a fir tree seed which had sprouted and had begun growing in his lungs.
42. If you stifle a sneeze there's a chance you can damage organs in your head, including eye blood vessels, rupturing your eardrums, and possibly rupture a brain aneurysm. Which means there's a small chance stifling a sneeze can kill you. Better to be the loud ass with the sneeze that can be heard around the world than a dead loud ass cause someone told you to stifle that sneeze
43. An elephant masturbates by slapping it's penis on itself.
44. There was a speech made for Apollo 11 if they were to die on the moon.
Side fact – if it were to happen, people would look up at the moon knowing that, that crew died there, and their bodies would rest there till the end of time. Not forgetting that the ocean is somewhat like this, many people died there too, at the very depths of the sea.
45. Blobfish in its natural habitat looks like a normal fish, but it lives so deep under water that it doesn't use a normal gas bladder to keep itself balanced. Instead, it has a spongy skin that is slightly less dense than water, which becomes damaged and bloated when fishermen bring it up too quickly.
It's not really the ugliest fish. It has just experienced something worse than one of us being thrown into outer space. Between sea level and space, there's one atmospheric pressure of difference. Between sea level and 2000 feet under water, their upper limit, there's 60 atmospheres of difference.
46. Locusts aren't a type of animal, they're a condition some grasshoppers experience. Many species of grasshoppers become locusts when they're too crowded (literally their legs rubbing together triggers the change). Once grasshoppers start to swarm they will join up with others, physically grow larger, change color, and eat basically anything they find.
Most of a swarm will be born as part of the swarm (increased mating is part of swarm behavior). This is why it often seems like locust swarms come out of nowhere.
46. If you begin to display symptoms of rabies you will go crazy and die. There's no cure. Your brain will slowly melt until you're dead. (Once a rabies infection is established, there's no effective treatment. Though a small number of people have survived rabies, the disease usually causes death. For that reason, if you think you've been exposed to rabies, you must get a series of shots to prevent the infection from taking hold.)
47. If you live to age 70 you will have shed around 105 pounds of skin.
48. When creating the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, they couldn't create skeletons that looked "realistic" enough, so they used real human skeletons They've since removed all of them except one.
49. The Nazino Affair – In Stalin's Russia, 6700 people were sent to live in a work camp on an island in a remote part of Russia. They had no supplies, shelter, or tools and if they tried to leave the island they were shot and killed by Russian soldiers.
It took less than 2 months before the people on the island, in their desperation, gave in to a cannibalistic holocaust. Over 4000 people were killed or went "missing" at that time. In the end, only 300 people made it off the island in one piece. It wasn't until the late 80's that a world tribunal even found out the gruesome details of what went on there.
50. Jeffery Dahmer tried to make "sex zombies" out of some of his victims by drilling holes in their heads while they were still alive and pouring acid into the holes.

Discussion in 'Tips/Tricks/Mods' started by eKg, Jun 9, 2006.
This is for postfix only. Restart postfix and your done. This doesn't really have anything to do with ISPConfig, however maybe it should be an option...?
This is a great solution but when i try to send an email using 587 port, no auth is required and the server become an open relay.
Yes, i tried to send a email from my network.
I tried to use this tip from a remote pc with an outside ip but it doesn't work.
When I send an email, i can't authenticate me using port 587.
What's the exact error message? What's in the mail log? Did you enable "Server requires authentication." in your email client?
The problem occurs only when i try to use like smtp port 587.
Using 25 it's all ok.
in /etc/postfix/master.cf and restart Postfix.
Great! Now it's perfect and i can send email using m isp-config server also if another isp block port 25.
I'm having the same problem and getting the same error message, but the fix does not work for me. Any ideas?
thanks to you guys i have the company email working..
as they are so tight on security. i cant use port 25 properly over the vpn so i now have 587 doing the same job.
i bookmark pages incase i become thick one day!!
TLS encryption works on the new port 587. It also works without encryption on this port.
SSL encryption works on port 25.
However, when I try to send an email to my server with SSL on port 587, it just sits in the outbox. Any ideas on what I need to change to make this work?
I appreciate your help and thanks again for ISPconfig!
What's in /etc/postfix/master.cf? Any errors in your mail log?
Thanks for your quick reply. I am actually using port 2525 instead of 587.
it worked for me perfectly, however i want to use my ispconfig server as alternative smtp server for domains that are not hosted on the ispconfig server. I add the domain and create the desired users that should be able to use the ispconfig alternative smtp server, everything works perfect, only 1 thing do not - sending mails from that domain to itself. The ispconfig handles these mails internal. I have set "External Mailserver" for that domain but that didnt helped at all. I also deleted the domain from /etc/postfix/local-host-names but after running /root/ispconfig/php/bin/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php this domain is automaticaly added in /etc/postfix/local-host-names. What can i do to achieve my target?
I have set "External Mailserver" for that domain but that didnt helped at all.
Did you do this only for the main FQDN (e.g. www.example.com), or also for the Co-Domains? Each Co-Domain has its own Options tab where you can select "External Mailserver".


Epigence 145 Cream + Epigence 145 Sleeping Cream + Proteum Serum = A winning formula - Martiderm the brand in cosmetic dermatology.
Just a few days ago we presented two of the latest releases from our Black Diamond range: Epigence 145 Cream and Epigence 145 Sleeping Cream.
What's the big breakthrough with them? They both treat your skin from the inside. How? With innovative technology and a revolutionary science: epigenetics.
Epigenetics has the capacity to repair our cell DNA and also prevent damage caused by external factors like contamination/pollution, stress, poor eating habits, lack of sleep and smoking, which damage and speed up cellular senescence, causing accelerated ageing.
It acts from the surface, penetrating inside the cells with the aid of an extraordinary active ingredient, Drone X50. This not only helps the epigence 145 molecule to penetrate the target cell but also effectively stimulates collagen and elastin fibre production. Together with Hyaluronic Gold, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, it has a pro-collagen action and promotes the formation of endogenous hyaluronic acid to give a much more intense moisturising effect.
The difference between Epigence 145 Cream and the night version Epigence 145 Sleeping Cream is that the former plays an antioxidant role while the night cream soothes and is anti-inflammatory, important for cell repair.
But... why do Epigence 145 and Proteum Serum from the Black Diamond range go together so well?
They can both repair damage at the DNA level, but Proteum Serum does so thanks to a hexapeptide tasked with reinforcing the cell barrier to minimise damage caused inside it and not produce accelerated cell ageing.
In any case, both treatments share our exclusive Proteum 89+ molecule as a common active ingredient. Our third-generation proteoglycan.
This proteoglycan marks a turning point in cosmetics for its power to penetrate, made possible by its 'measurements' - it has a vastly smaller molecular size than any other proteoglycan. This not only ensures a moisturising effect at the deepest layers, the toning and pro-collagen action also stimulates and guarantees firm, supple skin.
Both products contain 5% of our 89+ proteoglycan for intensive firming and moisturising.
Our Proteum 89+ molecule also acts uniquely as a bio sunscreen, preventing damage and repairing the harmful effects of UV radiation.
We can apply Proteum Serum morning and night before Epigence 145. Both products are easily absorbed and suitable for all skin types.
Start using our extraordinary formula and solve one of skin's great mysteries: the passage of time.

Redefining The Business with Chemicals: The Payment for The Utility of Chemicals and Not for The Amount
Let's look at the business of chemicals: the main interest of chemical users is not to buy and possess chemicals products. They are rather interested in the best solutions for their product (performance, quality) and/or processes where chemicals are applied.

One innovative way that chemicals can be produced and used in ways that minimize significant adverse impacts on human health and the environment is through Chemical Leasing. At the heart of the Chemical Leasing model is the idea that economic success no longer depends on the volume of chemicals sold, but on the service that is linked with the chemicals.

Walking in town
Springs of Tokaichiba and Natsugari
The water that feeds these springs originates on the slopes of Mt. Fuji 30 km away, arriving as snow or rain. Filtering through the layers of volcanic ash and pebbles, the water eventually reaches the impenetrable layer of volcanic rock formed from ancient eruptions. It travels along this layer for approximately 60 years before finally resurfacing here. This process produces supremely pure water which has been designated as one of Japan's best spring waters.
The farmers of Tsuru use these springs for agricultural purposes. The wasabi farm located at the base of the springs, for example, uses the constant flow to yield nearly three tons of produce each year. This water is also used to grow a unique local product called mizukakena, a mustard plant harvested in the middle of winter. This off-season harvest is possible because these plants are irrigated with the spring water, which maintains a constant 12°C even at the coldest times of the year, meaning the plants don't freeze.
Along the waterways fed by these springs grows baikamo, a species of ranunculus whose flowers resemble tiny plum blossoms. These beautiful plants prefer constantly flowing cool water, and therefore can only bloom in spring water like that found in the Tokaichiba and Natsugari areas of Tsuru.

Baze v. Rees ist ein Rechtsstreit, der vor dem Obersten Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten verhandelt wurde (Docket-Nr. 07-5439).

Gegenstand waren Todesurteile gegen Ralph Baze und Thomas Bowling (jeweils Kentucky) wegen Mordes. Die Verurteilten waren der Ansicht, dass die sie erwartende Giftspritze eine grausame Bestrafung darstelle und damit gegen den VIII. Verfassungszusatz verstoße. Im Vorfeld des Verfahrens war es bei Hinrichtungen wiederholt zu Komplikationen gekommen, die den Tod der Betroffenen hinauszögerten und unbeabsichtigte Schmerzen verursachten.

Am 11. Juli 2007 stellten die Verteidiger einen Antrag auf Zulassung des Rechtsbehelf der Appellation (petition for writ of certiorari), dem das Gericht am 25. September 2007 stattgab und den Devolutiveffekt anordnete. Daraufhin kam es zu einem bundesweiten Moratorium für Hinrichtungen, um den Ausgang des Verfahrens abzuwarten. Die mündliche Verhandlung fand am 7. Januar 2008 statt. Am 16. April 2008 wurde die in Kentucky praktizierte Hinrichtungsart mit einer Mehrheit von 7:2 für verfassungskonform erklärt; Ruth Bader Ginsburg und David Souter trugen die Entscheidung nicht mit.

The University of Maryland School of Medicine will use a $5 million federal grant to tackle childhood obesity by helping teachers, parents and students come up with ways to practice healthy habits in schools.
The school will announce Wednesday it has received the funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop ways to help implement wellness policies the schools were required by federal law to establish.
"It really helps them feel like they have more buy in when they come up with the ideas," said Dr. Erin Hager, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "Having students involved in the health promoting decisions can be very important."
Nationwide obesity in children has more than doubled in the last 30 years, while obesity among adolescents has more than tripled, according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention.
About 8 percent of Baltimore middle school students described themselves as slightly or very overweight in the 2013 Youth Risk Factor Behavior Survey. In 2015, 34.4 percent of high school students were either obese or overweight in Baltimore City, according to the CDC.


Karen Mathews grew up in Homewood, Alabama and graduated as Valedictorian of Homewood High School in 1981. She began her college career at Auburn University then transferred to The University of Alabama at Birmingham where she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Accounting. Karen learned the meaning of hard work and dedication as she worked full time at her father's commercial HVAC contracting company during the day and went to school at night.
She left the family business after 14 years and worked as an accountant and office manager for 3 very diverse Birmingham area companies including a tire distribution company, a law firm, and a real estate company during the last 18 years. She is extremely excited to again be working in this construction related industry.
Karen is dependable, well organized, detail oriented, and a self-motivated team player who we are extremely happy to have on our team.


This is a patch which implements the use of specific lines when transporting goods between halts.
Within routing the selection of used halts is dependent on the "weight" of tranport between halts.
In that process the weight is calulated is the "minimal number of hops" between two halts.
But when loading goods at a halt, any line that has the destination halt in it's schedule is used -> not only the lines which contributed to the "lowest weight"
This patch saves the lines/lineless convoys of the "lowest weight" in the connection.
When loading goods, then only these lines are used.
In the halt_detail display, for each directly connected halt, the used lines are displayed.
The patch seems to assume that there is a unique line or convoi to realize the best connection. What if there are more?
It takes all lines and/or lineless convoys which have the lowest weight.
In Station A, goods to C will be loaded on both lines 2 and 3.

Q: ubuntu usb wifi driver install I have two different usb wifi adapter, they are using different wifi driver, one is currently using is running rtl88x2bu driver, it works well, another not working on this driver, it is in 802.11ac protocol, so can I install another 802.11 driver like 8812au on the same computer ? just afraid it will effect the 88x2bu driver, anyone knows this, thanks in advance .

A: You can install both drivers. The devices have different USB IDs and should load a proper driver.
Theoretically there may be a problem if some driver is not written very well... But you can always uninstall one or fix it in the code.
As it is written, it is hard to tell more.

Oh, man… details. I'm normally a pretty detail-oriented person, but occasionally I let things slip. It usually happens when I'm tired or have too much on my plate. One week, I missed a flight because I went to the wrong airport and missed a train because I had the stations reversed. It made me take a step back and evaluate how I was letting the details slip through my fingers. Maxie has amazing tips that work for everyone, detail-oriented or (especially) not!
Whether you like it or not, the little things matter, especially when you're working towards big things. From day-to-day, obsessing over the tiny stuff won't do anything but make you crazy. However, sometimes major moments call for equally as intentional attention to detail. And not just paying attention to it but keeping up with it, too.
But what if details don't come easily to you? First, it probably means that you have an entirely different skill set altogether. You're most likely someone that's great at big-picture thinking and seeing the big ole magical forest instead of each tree.
Regardless, magic is often made in the small stuff. So if you've got your eye on the prize and want to ensure you don't miss a beat, the details are where it's at. Everything from college applications to turning in that first project at your internship to simply crushing a presentation for all the big bosses at work – the last thing you want is to miss something silly that reflects poorly on your ability to make sure the small stuff is taken care of.
Details do not come easily to me. It's something I've had to learn to do (the hard way) time and time again. I've screwed up emails, presentations, dates, travel times… the works. And while I've worked to be someone who can keep up with it all, I've also learned a few strategies to be someone who can cross my T's and dot my I's with way less stress – ensuring that the quality of what I'm doing doesn't get a dark cloud over it because of one tiny missed detail.
When you've spent a ton of time on something, that's often when the details that you miss ruffle your feathers the most. How did I not catch that?? Well, because often the best way to perfect something is to leave it alone. Drop it. From your eyes, from your energy, from your mind. Give it hours or even days if you can, and then come back to it. You'll catch most things that way.
Sometimes you just need a second set of eyes and ears to review something you've created, a speech you've prepared, a negotiation you're thinking of having. No matter what it is, bringing a trusted voice into the fold is a strong safeguard for the details. So, think about who's great at catching all the little things and ask them to review or help you. I do this all the time.
Our brains are SO good at autocorrecting – they see what we meant to write. If you're known to mess up details in emails, documents, resumes, or presentations like spelling or grammar, reading what you've put together out loud is something I always, always do.
I know that you probablyyyyy think you can remember it all. But you just can't. And you shouldn't have to! When you remember something small, put it in the notes on your phone. When you remember something you need to do, put it on your list. You'll miss way less that way. And if there are big projects you need to track, ask your best excel-making friend to send you a spreadsheet template for tracking.
Multi-tasking isn't all that it's cracked up to be. And dividing your attention is a great way to be doing a lot of things OK but nothing well. If you've got something important that you want to make sure is fully taken care of, details and all, do just that thing. Put your phone away. Turn the wifi off. Clear out all the tabs. Go away from all the people. And focus.
Details can matter. And mistakes will always happen so learn to let them go when they do. Hopefully, however, these strategies will help you make less forced errors.

Good tips. Leaving and coming back to my work always makes a huge difference, as does reading out loud!
I love this! The details are so important and sometimes the easiest things to get wrong!
YES! These are such great tips! I am usually a pretty detail oriented person but everyone once in a while I get off track and this is a great reminder.
reading out loud and writing it down are key for me!
