BE MY VALENTINE: When you think romance, think…Diefenbunker?
Celebrate love 75 feet underground with a delicious nuclear dinner and a love story bridging the 1960s and 1990s.
The folks at the Diefenbunker, Canada's Cold War history museum, are offering a unique way to celebrate Valentine's Day! Grab your honey and head to Carp for dinner and a movie in the comfort of the Diefenbunker cafeteria!
Balmer says tables will be set for 6 (so that those who are arriving as groups can sit together and to allow for a bit of socializing) and decorated to suit the Valentine's Day theme.
The 3-course dinner will be provided by The Swan at Carp. Guest will be offered appetizers; a choice of chicken roulade, classic pot roast, or a vegetarian pasta; and then a chocolate truffle dessert.
While the cafeteria can accommodate up to 200 people, Balmer says they will be accepting reservations for up to 70 people to keep the atmosphere intimate and ensure everyone can see the movie — A Blast From the Past, starring Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone. It's a romantic comedy about a naive man who comes out into the world after being in a nuclear fallout shelter for 35 years.
Balmer says the romantic revelers can look forward to some other quirky aspects (as if dinner and a movie in a bunker isn't quirky enough), such as a photo booth from Flashpoint Photography, and DJ service.
When: Thursday, Feb. 14, 6 p.m. – 10:30 p.m.
Cost: $55 per person, $100 per couple.

Liberalism in the USA: Decrepit? No different from "conservatives"?
Posted by: adonis49 on: July 25, 2019
In: Book Review | Essays | Events/Cultural/Educational/Arts | social articles
Liberalist in the USA: Decrepit?
Note: I don't mind posting "controversial" articles: a reflective mind should be able to extract valuable positions when the State social media disseminate what the administration wants to be exposed.
Any connections among Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), Citizens United case, political corruption, Common Law doctrine of stare decisis, Chief Justice John Robert?
Note: Common Law doctrine of stare decisis is borrowed from the British legal system: prior cases decisions take precedent. Not fair, since deep pocket defenders generally win cases when the downtrodden are helpless in covering up legal expenses.
ANDREW LEVINE wrote in CounterPunch under "John Roberts: Liberal Hero?":
"In America today, the terms "liberal" and "conservative" describe positions that bear only a vague connection to the meanings of these terms in less benighted times. The connection to philosophical understandings is even more attenuated.
This is a consequence of the accelerating decrepitude of our political culture.
How may we understand one of last month's more remarkable developments: the adulation liberals accorded the previously despised John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States?
John Roberts cast the deciding vote upholding most of the Obama administration's most vaunted legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). On June 28, to the dismay of other right-wing Justices, Robert saved Obamacare's linchpin, the much vilified individual mandate, which requires persons not otherwise insured to buy health insurance or else to pay a fine.
Before the ruling came down, the idea that liberals would make a hero of John Roberts seemed about as likely as that Barack Obama or Eric Holder would heap praise on Bradley Manning or Julian Assange.
Two years ago, it was Roberts who engineered the outcome in the Citizens United case, making political corruption the law of the land, and turning over what "we, the people" have left of a democracy to the plutocrats who own our political class. Roberts can take credit for countless reactionary Supreme Court rulings.
Indeed, as Roberts' position is scrutinized, doubts about his bona fides are reemerging. To be considered a liberal hero (Robert) for a while tells a lot about liberals, and about the state of our political culture.
In retrospect, the liberal response to Roberts' ruling makes sense, at least at a psychological level.
Having been put down for so long by an administration bent on courting the plutocrats, Roberts lives to serve and determined to win the hearts and minds of "moderates," liberals are understandably easy to please.
Obama proved that point when, with a few kind words (only words!) on same-sex marriage, he got the handful of "forward leaners" in the corporate media to wax ecstatic again. And though no American president ever has been worse on immigration issues, an executive order halting the deportation of undocumented immigrants younger than thirty and brought to the United States as children seems to have assured Team Obama that, this time around, they can count on Hispanic voters again too.
No matter that Obama's less than generous motives are transparent: in a Citizens United world, he needs all the gay donors he can bring on board and he needs to keep the constituencies that backed him in 2008 in the fold.
Liberals either don't want to know about this or don't care; they're happy just to accept anything Obama throws their way.
Ever in dread of the greater evil, they have learned to ask for nothing and to be grateful when that's what they get.
The Democratic Party has been counting on this for years and, with Obama at the helm, they are not about to change their ways.
And so we live under a duopoly party system where both parties compete to serve the interests of those we have come to call "the 1%."
The difference is just that one of those parties, the scarier one, is more transparent about its allegiances than the other.
No wonder that, in such a world, the political compass has gone haywire and words like "liberal" and "conservative" have become unhinged.
No wonder too that it was self-identified liberals, not conservatives, who made a hero of John Roberts.
In making a hero of Roberts, liberals were not just grasping at straws: they were also revealing where their deepest sympathies lie. It wasn't always so, but those who identify with liberalism today have become the true conservatives. (You mean the Silent Majority?)
Self-identified conservatives, meanwhile, are just plain reactionaries – except sporadically and for reasons that are not always on the up and up.
To make sense of all this, it is not necessary to dwell on what "liberalism" used to mean or what it means in philosophical circles.
For political philosophers, what liberalism is and what it implies for justice and equality has been Topic A for decades. This work, valuable as it is, is largely dissociated from the real world of politics. It is nearly irrelevant for explaining how self-identified liberals think.
It is relevant to bear in mind the last great liberal settlement in American political history, the one that began with the New Deal and continued through the time when the Vietnam War effectively undid the Great Society.
New Deal-Great Society liberalism aimed to ameliorate conditions of life under capitalism.
Though pale in comparison, it was of a piece with similar ameliorative programs developed in Europe and elsewhere under the aegis of social democratic ideologies.
We have not yet reached the point where self-identified liberals expressly advocate undoing that last great liberal settlement; that is what self-identified conservatives do.
"By their deeds shall ye know them."
Democratic presidents, their party in tow, have done at least as much as Republican presidents to restore pre-New Deal conditions. Awful as Mitt Romney promises to be, if history is a guide, it is far from obvious that Barack Obama, with the election behind him, won't be worse.
In a world where liberals and conservatives are both engaged in the same nefarious project – in the one case, without quite saying so; in the other, with greater honesty — identifying the connection, if any, between actually existing liberalism and the genuine article is complicated at best. But, for our purpose, there is no need.
Obamacare hardly rises to the level of a New Deal or Great Society program and, that feeble connection apart, there is nothing particularly liberal about it.
But it does have a lot to do with venerable understandings of what conservatism is. One strain of conservative thought is especially relevant for making sense of it and also, more importantly, the reaction to it.
Nothing illustrates the idea better than the Common Law doctrine of stare decisis, precedent rules. This is ironic inasmuch as it was a legal judgment, advanced in the Common Law tradition, which turned Roberts into a hero for liberals.
The rationale for deciding legal cases according to this doctrine begins with the assumption that the issues courts decide are relevantly like those they decided in the past.
Those decisions, the argument goes, were good enough in most instances. At the very least, they got us where we are. In the conservative view, that is not a bad place to be.
If we set our minds to improving on past judgments without regard to past decisions, we might do better. But this is unlikely, and it can also be unsettling.
The rule of law works best when there are stable expectations about what the law requires. Stare decisis enhances the likelihood that this will be the case.
Of course, if there are overwhelming considerations of justice that were not taken into account in past rulings, then, the argument goes, precedents should be overridden. But inasmuch as this is usually not the case, precedents should, for the most part, determine outcomes.
This is the accepted view throughout American jurisprudence, honored both in the breach and the observance. Even when the doctrine is not followed, when "activist judges" make laws, they almost always attempt at least to maintain the fiction that they are following the guidance of the past.
Similarly, in the larger political arena, the guiding idea is that if we follow the lead of the past, we will generally end up no worse off than we now are, and that the result will therefore be at least satisfactory. On the other hand, if we break from the past in an effort to make things better, we will likely end up worse off, perhaps disastrously so.
Thus conservatives think that in politics it is always wise to be risk averse. This is why, in their view, traditions of governance trump attempts at fundamental change, and why continuity in institutional arrangements and on-going practices is of paramount importance.
Of course, even dedicated conservatives concede there are activities for which cautious gradualism is inappropriate because they necessarily involve the exercise of untrammeled Reason; this is the case in most fields of mathematics, for example, and in some areas of philosophy. In these and similar domains, it would be foolish to accord priority to received ways of doing things.
But these are the exception, not the rule – because most of life is more like, say, cooking than geometry. The cook relies on instruments, techniques and recipes that embody a collective wisdom accumulated over generations by people facing roughly similar problems to those cooks now confront. There is no need to resort to first principles, not because our cooking is as good as can be, but because it is good enough and because far-reaching changes risk going drastically wrong. There is also no one best way to cook, but many traditions, each continuous with a useable past.
Governance, conservatives think, is, like cooking. A conservative can be agnostic on whether the problem lies with the nature of Reason itself. No doubt, many think it does. But even if it does not, the crucial point is that human beings' rational capacities are not up to the task; for doing politics the way we do geometry, we are, so to speak, insufficient.
The idea behind this conviction all but defines a much older strain of conservative philosophy. In the seventeenth century, Thomas Hobbes, the greatest political philosopher the English-speaking world has produced, argued that, given human nature and the human condition, life would degenerate into a devastating "war of all against all" unless individuals are made unfree to do everything they want to do.
Hobbes argued that, to achieve this end, it is necessary that there be coercive institutions capable of compelling individuals to follow the dictates of political authorities. He argued, in other words, that what individuals cannot achieve voluntarily, given their nature and condition, they can achieve politically — through the use or threat of force.
Hobbes also argued that the only sustainable form of political authority is sovereignty – supreme and, in his view, unlimited authority. Thus he deemed sovereignty necessary for order, the paramount value in his vision of a good society. That vision is idiosyncratic and extreme, and Hobbes' arguments are compelling only within the framework of his other philosophical views. But the preeminence he accorded to order is typical of this strain of conservative thought.
Hobbes' position was secular, but his notion of human insufficiency is of a piece with the distinctively Christian doctrine of Original Sin, the Church Fathers' alternative to pagan (mainly Greek but also Roman) notions of human perfectibility, according to which, as Aristotle famously put it, we are essentially "political animals," beings who must participate in the political communities we comprise in order fully to become all that we (potentially) are.
In the Christian ancestor of Hobbes' position, political institutions are punishments for Original Sin because they block the free expression of our Fallen nature. Ironically, in doing so, they also provide relief from its consequences, allowing Providence to work its way through human affairs. Thus it is not our interests that order serves, but God's. Still, the point remains: by imposing a non-natural order upon us, political institutions save us from ourselves and from each other.
Unlike the kind of conservatism that makes governance out to be an activity more like cooking than geometry, this strain of conservative thought does not directly resonate in John Roberts' apparent defection from the self-identified conservative cause. But it does underscore a point that is often lost in our political culture: that the anti-statist character of our actually existing conservatism is quite atypical. Conservatism is not inherently anti-statist, as American conservatives assume. As Hobbes' example shows, precisely the opposite is usually the case.
As Obamacare slouched towards passage in Congress, it seemed a case of "bipartisanship" gone awry. Not wishing to rattle the cages of private insurers and healthcare profiteers, Democrats enacted a policy not much different from the one conceived in the early 1990s at the right-wing Heritage Foundation as an alternative to the Clintons' efforts at health care reform.
Obamacare, accordingly, is very like the program Republicans promoted until quite recently and that Mitt Romney got enacted in Massachusetts when he was governor there. It was not until Obama took up the cause that Republicans turned on the policy they concocted and fostered.
Assuming it is not reversed in Congress, it remains to be seen how much good Obamacare will do when it finally goes fully into effect. On the plus side, it will lead to more (but not all!) presently uninsured persons gaining coverage, and it puts a number of worthwhile insurance reforms in place. On the other hand, it further entrenches the power and wealth of private insurance companies and health care profiteers.
It will likely also set back the cause of genuine reform, perhaps for another generation, in much the way that the Clintons did. It may also leave many presently insured persons, union workers especially, worse off, as employers seize the opportunity to cut back or eliminate employment related insurance. And it is becoming clear that its funding mechanisms may give rise to additional problems as well.
Even so, it seemed, when the Affordable Care Act passed, that the United States would indeed move forward a tad – not to the level other developed countries long ago achieved, but in that general direction.
Then an "only in America" thing happened. The affair turned into a legal squabble.
The proposed rationale for ruling the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional was that, contrary to what Republican had been saying for years, Congress had no right to require otherwise uninsured persons to buy health insurance or pay a fine if they don't. It plainly did have that right, however, under the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution.
If precedents matter, the issue was about as settled as any Constitutional question could be. Moreover, the state Attorneys General who brought the suit and their allies on the Supreme Court were not about to take on commerce clause jurisprudence altogether; that would be too unsettling – and too patently "unconstitutional" — even for them.
So, not very ingeniously, they split a hair, arguing that while Congress can regulate activities that have commercial impact beyond the borders of individual states, it cannot proscribe inactivity that affects inter-state commerce. In other words, Congress can say what health insurers can and must do, but it cannot require anyone to buy health insurance.
Antonin Scalia, supposedly the smart one, was especially concerned that if this distinction isn't given legal standing, Congress could require individuals to buy broccoli. At least he had the decency not to take his usual tack: asking what the Constitution's authors would do.
We Americans are so used to this level of silliness that few would find it odd if he had.
Indeed, it is one of the oddities of our political culture that we accord an almost scriptural authority to a text composed in the 1780s by leading planters (slave owners), merchants and lawyers.
But that is precisely what we do, and no one does it more than the reactionaries we call "conservatives." This residue of America's Protestant past survives in our jurisprudence and also, to a remarkable extent, in the broader political culture. To buy into it, it is hardly necessary to be culturally, much less religiously, Protestant. Scalia, a right-wing Catholic, is a case in point.
The idea that there is Holy Writ and that it ought to be authoritative took hold on American soil to such an extent that, even as faith waned, it survived outside the theological framework that gave it life. Our founders established secular institutions that implement Enlightenment ideals including the separation of Church and State. Nevertheless, we fetishize the Constitution they wrote, much as the Protestant faithful of old, and evangelicals today, fetishize the Old and New Testaments.
Constitution fetishism can be benign and even beneficial. But because it channels public deliberation into a forensic realm where questions hinge, in part, on the interpretation of words written long ago, it affects how arguments are made, driving a wedge between the positions people hold and the reasons they hold them. One consequence is that citizens or their representatives are often obliged to argue disingenuously, appealing to reasons they don't embrace to defend positions they do.
Arguably, there is no harm in this when the governing jurisprudential practice acknowledges the evolving character of Constitutional interpretation. Then, at least in theory, our style of jurisprudence would constrain how arguments are made, but not materially affect their substance. On the other hand, there can be considerable harm if "originalist" styles of interpretation prevail. Then the content, not just the form, of public argument is affected – in almost all cases for the worse.
Needless to say, it is not clear how the intentions of long dead Constitution writers can be ascertained. But the pretense can be useful for turning back progress because originalism ties judges to the prejudices of earlier times. Its proponents praise it as an antidote to "judicial activism." In fact, the opposite it is true; it is a rationale for enlisting the judiciary in the service of the most retrograde forces in our society.
That used to be what John Roberts was about and maybe it still is. But then the so-called conservative Justice had a genuine conservative moment.
Only in retrospect and as more information emerges will what happened become clear. Perhaps he honestly thought the situation through and this is where his thinking led. More likely, he sided with the "liberals" for reasons that are more strategic than principled. There are times, after all, when it is well to take one step back, the better to move forward – that is, to move the country backward — later.
There are liberals who touted his heroism who are coming around to this view. They are starting to worry that when issues bearing on affirmative action and voting rights come before the Court next year, he'll be better positioned to promote reaction than he would have been had not decided to keep the Affordable Care Act in place.
They are worried too that his hair splitting on the commerce clause will have bad consequences in the years to come. Some are realizing as well that the "conservative" Justices, Roberts included, who ruled that states cannot be threatened with the loss of all Medicare money if they fail to go along with the Affordable Care Act's efforts to extend Medicare coverage will make it harder from now on to implement federal regulations and rules at the state level.
In short, whether Roberts was a liberal hero, even if only on June 28, or rather an exceptionally clever snake in the grass remains to be seen. Were this just a question about him, it would be of little interest. But since he heads what is, in effect, a super-legislature with vast powers, it is a question of the utmost importance. No doubt, in time, the answer will become clear.
But it is not too soon to see what their reaction to Roberts' (temporary?) defection from the "conservative" juggernaut says about liberals. It shows that if they are not the last true conservatives in our political culture today, they are the closest approximation we've got.
Of course, this may just be a defensive posture on their part; an understandable one too in a world where the reactionaries who have appropriated the conservative label are still on the offensive. But it is hard to deny that in this Age of Obama the causes liberals enthuse about – same-sex marriage is another example – have a profoundly conservative cast.
For helping to bring about this state of affairs – and for stifling the impulse to seek out anything better, more experimental and bold — the Democratic Party of the Clinton and post-Clinton years has much to answer for. Will Obama's legacy be even worse?
Note: As far as the Middle East people are concerned, Obama and Hilary were the worst administration for this region. They purposely funded and facilitated the creation of ISIS and the occupation of Mosul. Any why this decision? Because Iraq turned down Obama demand to have permanent military bases in Iraq.

A year and a half ago, I wrote about my experiences and how working in the tech industry can be death by a thousand paper cuts. I doubt I was the first person to make this observation. I know I am not the last. I have seen so many posts from people commenting on their own death by a thousand cuts. It's both reassuring and demoralizing to know so many share this feeling. It's nice to know I'm not alone. It's devastating to realize how many of us are in this hole together.
I think about the death by a thousand paper cuts more often than I like. I want to reflect on what I wrote and what has happened in the time since then. I started out trying to write a single post, but I had way too much to say and was worried I would never finish. Instead, I am going to write a series of smaller posts about being a tech feminist killjoy.
As far as I know, the term "feminist killjoy" comes from Sara Ahmed. Her excellent work at feministkilljoys.com is a huge inspiration for these posts. The term "tech feminist" is half joke and half serious these days. It was a term lobbed at many of us as a negative, but I like the idea of reclaiming it. This isn't about some special type of feminist, but about being involved in and passionate about feminism and tech. I often feel like I live on the fault line between the two. The tech feminist killjoy.
I suspect these disclaimers gets old, but I think it is important, especially for this series. I am a white, cis, currently able-bodied woman (i.e. I have a lot of privilege). Despite the issues I will talk about, I still have it relatively easy.
My outlook on these topics is not indicative of all "minorities in tech" (a term that often ignores more underrepresented groups and focuses mostly on my demographic). My writing on this topic doesn't even represent all white, cis women. These pieces are about me wanting to put some of my experiences into words and share because maybe it will be helpful in some way. It is not about wanting to speak for others. I strongly recommend reading about the experiences of a wide variety of people.
Below is a current list of posts in the series.


Should I Enter Into A Scottish Trust Deed?
A Scottish Trust Deed offers a good way for you to manage your debts and avoid filing for sequestration. When you sign u for a deed, all your debts will be consolidated into one and their interest rates will be waived. You will then have to pay back the consolidated debt in monthly instalments. The amount of instalments you will pay will vary depending on your financial situation. When your income is high, you will pay more and when it reduces, so will the payments.
An STD is created based on the amount of debt that you owe and how much you can afford over a few years. In most cases, deeds are entered for three years. However, a deed agent, also known as an Insolvency Practitioner (IP), can increase the time to four years. The more your debt is, the higher the chances of the deed being lengthened to four years.
When you enter into such an agreement, creditors will stop harassing you with phone calls. Moreover, you will not have to make payments to the different creditors. Instead, you will be making payments to the IP who will prioritise how payments will reach the creditors.
In a Scottish Trust Deed, your payments will not include any interest rates. Therefore, you will be paying back the amount you were given by creditors at their basic principle value. Since there is no interest charged on your debt, you can finish making payments faster than would be the case if you were paying the debt outside a deed.
A deed will help you to rebuild your credit score. The deed is set up by IPs working with companies that are registered members of the Scottish Insolvency Board. When you make your payments on time, your credit score will steadily improve and within a few years, you may be eligible to take credit again.
Signing up for an STD will write off 90% of your debt. This makes it easy for you to manage the amount that you owe. To qualify for one you are not required to have good credit. Moreover, you can negotiate the payments that you will make. The trust company will only require you to make payments using your disposable income. Therefore, you will still be able to afford your usual monthly expenses such as electricity, rent, and food.
STD's come with a number of disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that you will be restricted on applying credit. You will need three more years after the completion of your deed to qualify for credit.
When you apply for a Scottish deed, your name will be published on the Edinburgh Gazette. Entering into a deed usually means that you are facing financial challenges and when you name is published, your social standing may be affected negatively.
If you do not honour the agreement that you make with the Trust Deed Scotland Company, your assets can be seized and you may be declared bankrupt. In addition, your creditors can take legal action to compel you to honour your payments.
A deed also affects your credit rating negatively. Your credit score will reduce when you sign for a deed. You will therefore have a task of rebuilding it. With poor credit score, you may not be allowed to make huge financial decisions without the knowledge of your trust agent. The Insolvency Practitioner will keep watch of your income and will adjust your monthly payments accordingly to reflect increase or decrease of your income.
Are You Eligible for a Scotland Deed?
Only residents of Scotland can qualify for deeds. If you live in England or Wales, you can pursue other debt management options such an IVA, which come with their own pros and cons. To enter into a deed, look for a company that has been certified by the Scottish Insolvency Board.
When you apply for a deed, the Insolvency Practitioners (IPs) will consider your financial situation and look for a relevant solution for you. When a Scotland deed has been signed, part for the payment that you will make will be used to cover the cost of the services provided by the IP.


Work And Study Abroad From Nigeria - Remote Job Opportunities In USA - Software Programming, Marketing, Management, Design, & System Admin For Graduates.
Finding a high-paying job in Nigeria is not an easy task - not because you do not have necessary skills to secure a juicy position in a fast growing blue chip company - banking, Telecom, FMCG etc - but the power of demand and supply would not allow your real value to suffix. A country where the supply of top-level graduates far outweighs the demand, there is no doubt that employers, who are also keen to save staff cost, will find employees, who are willing to accept lower pay and offer similar value, cheaper.
Sometimes, the issue of high-paying job might not be depended on demand and supply curve, but how exchange rate affects the real value of your take-home pay, a Nigerian graduate earning N200k per month might not enjoy the economic value of this salary when the exchange rate of Naira against foreign currency take a south turn.
What is the solution then? The best alternative is to sort for remote jobs outside the country, one that allows you to work and study abroad from Nigeria. The advantages of applying for this international freelance opportunities are numerous - from exposure to global workplace environment, learning from colleagues with diverse skills and knowledge, you can also enjoy high-pay (exchange rate) arising from USD appreciation against the Naira - for instance, let's say you earn $5,000 per month as a programmer in a US-based FMCG startup, that is N2,000,000 (at N400/$). A slight change in forex rate to N500/$ automatically adds N500,000 to your purse - This is just an assumption that's based on a long-term trend, there is also an accompanying risk of currency fluctuation - to the downside.
Here is a review of We Work Remotely, an online job platform that lists opportunities not restricted to a particular geographical area. The website lets recruiters, who want a result, not activities, find the most qualified talents in the most unexpected places or country.
The site is open to applicants from around the world - no registration required, just email address of the employers to indicate your interest and pitch your skills.
These are few of the daily job opportunities in the USA and are open for applicants outside the country - They don't require your physical presence but your ability to prove your skill, experience and convince the employer that you can deliver from home.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - The Virginia Division of Capitol Police has a new addition to their vehicle fleet.
The department purchased a six-seat electric vehicle using grant fund from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Officials said the plan is to use the vehicle to help support large events at Capitol Square and other state locations.
Capitol police said the electric vehicle will cost less to operate than a traditional police vehicle and have less of an impact on the environment.
"Especially important is that in good weather our officers can operate the GEM without its doors," Pike said, "bringing them closer to the public we serve," Capitol Police Chief Col. Anthony S. "Steve" Pike said.

Cell Tower Sublease-What Is The True Value to Your Tenant?
A cell tower sublease is when a cell tower company allows another company to lease space on the tower for the placement of their equipment.
Many cell tower leases simply require the cell tower company to "notify" the landowner that they're going to sublet the site.
However, you will find that most leases allow a cell tower company to sublease a property without getting written consent from the landowner.
Even when a property owner has the right to consent to a sublet of their property, a cell tower company will usually not provide a property owner the option to share in the sublease rents being received.
Vertical Consultants has never encountered a situation where a cell tower company approaches a property owner to give them additional sublease revenue, even though the cell tower company may be receiving upwards of $3,000.00 a month in rent from its subtenant.
Be cautious of any letter you receive from a cell tower company regarding the sublet of your property. If you're not careful you may not only be giving up your right to additional rent today but in the future as well.
Remember, the cell tower companies have experts working for them shouldn't you?

Statistics : Your CEO wants to review the benchmarking data used to compare Choice Hospital with other hospitals in the same geographic region. The Board of Directors is looking at expanding the Emergency Department or adding more in-patient beds. The CEO needs to know how Choice Hospital compares with other hospitals in the region to be part of the discussion and inform decisions on expansion in these areas. As you assume the role of a hospital administrator at Choice Hospital, provide the data and analysis requested by your CEO as described below. In this exercise, assume that Choice Hospital is located in Colorado, and use these data provided by the Colorado Hospital Association for Colorado hospitals. If you wish to find data for your own state of residence, you may do that and start your search at your states Department of Health Web site. For comparison of Choice Hospital to others in the state of Colorado of comparable size, you will use the specific data points requested, perform the calculations, and prepare the presentation of the data as follows: You will first review the data available and summarize the data points as specified for this presentation by placing them in an Excel spreadsheet. Calculate descriptive statistics for the data, as specified below. Prepare an Excel spreadsheet of the data. Review the data in the spreadsheet, and prepare a discussion of the data for Colorado hospitals compared to the data for Choice Hospital. The table below includes the data for Choice Hospital: HospitalLicensed BedsTotal DischargesTotal Patient DaysInpatient SurgeriesBirthsInpatient Admissions for Emergency DepartmentsEmergency Department VisitsTotal Outpatient Visits Choice Hospital300 15,279 70,283 4,012 256 4,781 13,342 98,993 From these data, calculate the average length of stay (ALOS) for Choice Hospital. Now look at the data for Colorado Hospitals at the link provided. Because Choice Hospital is a 300-bed facility, identify the hospitals that have between 200 and 400 licensed beds. Those are the hospitals that you will use for your comparison to Choice Hospital. In your Excel spreadsheet, do the following: List the hospitals that have 200400 licensed beds in the first column, with 1 hospital listed per row. Next, for each of those hospitals, enter the data in separate columns for Total Patient Days and Total Discharges. In the next column, enter your calculation for ALOS using the data for Total Patient Days and Total Discharges. At the bottom of the column for ALOS, calculate the mean and standard deviation for the average length of stay for all of the hospitals. Enter the mean and standard deviation in the cells below in that column, and be sure to identify which value is the mean and which is the standard deviation. You will submit your Excel spreadsheet along with your paper. Now that you have the data on ALOS for your comparison hospitals, write a paper of 23 pages, not including the title page or reference page, and discuss the following: Consider the average length of stay for Choice Hospital that you calculated using the data for Choice Hospital. How does that compare to the ALOS on average for the hospitals in Colorado with similar numbers of licensed beds from your calculation? Identify the range of ALOS for the hospitals, and consider the standard deviation value. Did you calculate the standard deviation of a sample or of the entire population? What is the difference? Explain why you chose the one that you did. Research the ALOS for the United States, and find a statistic that is within the last 5 years. The ALOS may be an overall average or based on the number of beds. State the ALOS for the United States that you found in your research, and be sure to cite the reference source. How does the ALOS for Choice Hospital compare to the national average? Health care organizations track their ALOS and compare it to other facilities of similar size, patient population, or services provided. This is referred to as a benchmark. Why do health care organizations track ALOS? Why do they use a benchmark? Why would they track ALOS, and what could they do to improve their ALOS relative to a benchmark?

Help! My ZoneAlarm Pro just completed a scan and reported a trojan in CCleaner.exe . The name listed in my ZoneAlarmPro associated with the trojan is "Win32.Backdoor.Delf.cir". I quarantines it, which removed CCleaner.exe and my desktop icon for CCleaner. Has anyone else had a problem? I haven't looked at the Zone Alarm forums to see if there's information about it there.
Location:Belleville, Il. (St. Louis metro area) U.S.A.
It's 99.99% chance that you've just witnessed a "false positive". Make sure you download the CCleaner program from a known good site like Major Geeks and reinstall it. If ZoneAlarm sees it as a trojan again then you need to tell the program that it is safe and to ignore it in the future scans.
It is like unclebic said in his reply.Follow his suggestion.
Also to get this resolved with Zone Alarm please provide this info.
When did you last update ZoneAlarmPro?
When did you last install CCleaner?
Other data you think might be relevant?
I had the exact same issue. Been using CCleaner and Zonealarm for months without issue, so why would this trojan be flagged now if it's a false positive?
Updated CCleaner from filehippo a few days ago. Not 100% sure of details as I have deleted CCleaner as a precaution for now, but it was latest version.
Did you get the same message or something different?
When did you get it?
Have you checked Zone Alarm forum?
Was the exact same trojan(Win32.Backdoor.Delf.cir) that was flagged.
I have ZAP anti-spy set to update and scan daily, so was flagged on my system this morning.
Have checked the ZA forum and there is one post entered today with same issue, but no replys as yet.
IIRC it was only in past 7-10 days that I updated to latest CCleaner version.
Now, it looks like there are 3 people anyway that have encountered this.
I would expect a lot more if it was a standard false positive as how many people out there are running CCleaner and ZAP with same definition updates?
Better go do some work now.
I posted to the ZoneAlarm forum, so that was probably mine.
I had originally downloaded it from FileHippo perhaps 6 months ago. About a week ago I accepted an update from within CCleaner.
I also use AVG Free edition, AVG Anti-Rootkit, Secunia, Spy Sweeper, Primary Response SafeConnect, and Spybot Search and Destroy.
Using a Gateway XP Media Center.
Zone Alarm found a trojan in CCleaner.
Hi, i have also had exactly the same trojan flagged up by Z A Pro. I downloaded CCleaner from file Hippo about a week ago and have run it 3/4 times. Z A Pro and CCleaner are both the latest versions. Upon deleting the trojan i then noticed that the CCleaner icon had just disappeared from the desktop screen, so decided to check this forum for any info about the problem before i reinstall CCleaner again. Since the original download of of CCleaner a week ago i have probably run the Z A pro scanner (full scan) a dozen or so times before it flagged the trojan up today.
Thank you for the great report.You provided some good info about this recent history.
I am not familiar with ZAP. Does it do background running real-time or stand alone scanning.
Are any other security programs running at the same time.
Thanks again to everybody sending us reports.Keep us filled in.
See Broadband Reports Security forum topic at this link.
and Zone Alarm forum topic at this link.
Thanks for filling us in.
So now we know CCleaner will be removed by Microsoft Malicious Malware Tool.
FOR NOW DO NOT USE Microsoft Malicious Malware Tool OR YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-INSTALL CCleaner.
FOR NOW DO NOT request that CCleaner be deleted by ZoneAlarmPro OR YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-INSTALL CCleaner.
Good to hear from what I would call a Founding Member.
I don't normally respond to posts like this very much once I've had my say, but in this case I have to. I work on a lot of different computers with different setups all the time. I've worked with a lot of antivirus programs and security software in general. All that being said, trusting ANY program to never have false positives, is just silly. THEY ALL DO! It may not happen often, and some are better than others, but there just isn't any perfect software, even CCleaner. However in this case the best bet after seeing it come up on several systems with ZoneAlarm, when we know CCleaner isn't being reported as infected by any other antivirus, then the conclusion is simple, your software is the one that's on the wrong side in this case. You're concluding that every other antivirus vender in the world is missing that CCleaner is infected. That's just not likely.
Mark the CCleaner files that have been found by ZoneAlarm as safe, or ignore, whatever is needed and be done with it.
I have the same problem as you have. I uninstalled the latest version of CCleaner and a few days later during a zonealarm scan it reported the backdoor trojan that you have mentioned. I uninstalled and installed it several times but it reported the same trojan. Then I installed the previous version of CCleaner which is version 2.04.543 and then did another scan with zone alarm and surprisingly it did not report any trojan and came out clean. I uninstalled the 2.04.543 version and installed it again and then did another scan and it came up with a clean report. then I uninstalled version 2.04.543 and installed the latest version again 2.05.555 and ran a scan. It showed the same trojan again. So it looks like the latest version has this problem and it has to be taken care of. Right now I think I will use version 2.04.543 until further notice.
Glad to shed some light on the scope of the situation - I am not a programmer, but could it be that something that was changed in the updater/version checker code might have triggered the FP? Usually a "backdoor" FP alerts on some call-home capabilities or functions of legitimate applications. If the updated code in 2.04.543 was modified as part of the update, that might be someplace to look.
I just encountered the same trojan and i use ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite- most updated recent version. I must say that i loved both programs. Since i switched from Norton my computer has been so much better protected. Norton would find the viruses and such but after they had done their damage, Zonealarm catches them as they enter. It has saved me over and over. It is quite slow, but it doesnt miss much if anything. I truly have %100 percent faith in it. Im not saying that it cant make mistakes though.
"This program enables a remote user to control your computer. It runs in the background and opens a back door on your computer. The back door allows an unauthorized remote user to connect to and access your computer, circumventing your computer's security. When you connect to the internet, this program notifies the remote user that your computer is vulnerable. This program may also have built-in tools used to manage your files, run executables on your computer, control your mouse and CD tray, screens, and retrieve passwords, keystroke, and screen shots.
This trojan is frequently disguised as a useful program, or hidden inside other programs to get you to install them."
That is scary if you ask me, especially because i do think its a greatly useful program. What better way to gain access? The way the world is today, you can never be too careful.
I will only redownload CCleaner when its assured this trojan problem is gone. Im going to try the previous version as the other commenter stated its free of this problem.
For all you nervous Nellie users, who haven't figured out that this a a false positive.
Quickly unplug your computer from then Internet, turn off the power and box up that computer. Then as fast as you can go uncover the doors to that bomb shelter in your backyard and hide until I call you and give you the secret password that the all-clear is given.
OK so that's being a bit sarcastic, but do you really think that out of the MILLIONS of other users who have had no sign of infection, or the other programs that are hosted on the the same servers as CCleaner, and out of all of those you'd think there would be a serious call to arms. But there isn't, so don't you think you could just tell your antivirus program to ignore the CCleaner files and have it clean your system better than you could do it yourself? Stop worrying about a program that you really know in your heart is safe.
And just for a little run down about me and of what I use. I'm a computer tech who works on other people's computers at their location or back here at my home/shop. About 80% of the time the first thing I look at, regardless of what the call is about, is the security. I use the latest versions of - CCleaner, AVG AntiVirus, SpySweeper (AntiSpyware only), Spyware Doctor (free with the Google Pack), SUPER AntiSpyware, ClamAV, and just for good measure, sometimes Trend Micro House Calls, and my network is run by a SmoothWall 3.0. NONE of the security programs have flagged CCleaner.
The following is from Computer Associates (they're the ones who make the antivirus for Zone Alarm).
These terms derive from their use in statistics. If it is claimed that a file or boot sector is infected by a virus when in reality it is clean, a false positive (or Type-I) error is said to have occurred. Conversely, if a file or boot sector that is infected is claimed to not be infected, a false negative (or Type-II) error has been made. From an antivirus perspective, false negatives probably seem more serious than false positives, but both are undesirable. False positives can cause a great deal of down-time and lost productivity because proving a program cannot replicate under some condition or other is generally much more time consuming than discovering the conditions under which a viral program will replicate.
With good known-virus scanners, false positives are rare. However, they can arise if the scan string for a virus is poorly chosen, say because it is also present in some benign programs. False negatives are a more common problem with virus scanners because known-virus scanners tend to miss completely new or heavily modified viruses. False positives have, historically, been quite a problem for scanners that make heavy use of heuristic detection mechanisms.
Another related, serious problem is the situation where a scanner detects a virus, but incorrectly identifies which. Such misdiagnosed positives can lead to terrible problems if the scanner, or its user, then engages in a virus-specific disinfection routine based on detailed knowledge of the 'detected' virus' characteristics. 'Generic disinfection' procedures are not entirely immune from such problems either.
School is out, now run along and play.
Lol, the average computer user depends on their anti-virus and spyware programs to detect just that, viruses and spyware. We are not computer savvy enough to find the things on our own or even know what false negatives or false positives are. When we run into a situation where a trusted AV program tells us that an item is bad, we take heed and even take the time to discuss the problem- if only for assurance- before we delete it permanently, or find out its a false positive. That is what this forum is here for. Being condensending is never a good thing and it most definetly doesnt solve problems. In fact it can only lead to people being reluctant to post future questions or concerns. With that in mind, id like to add this question. I hope the answer doesnt make me feel more stupid.
Do false positives and negatives apply to trojans and/or spyware as well as viruses? The reason i ask is that my AV said that it is a trojan, not a virus as others have implied. And does that make a difference?
I was thinking that if it isnt quite as bad, i maybe can just go to my basement instead of the whole way out to the shelter.
Do false positives and negatives apply to trojans and/or spyware as well as viruses?
Anti-malware programs, i.e.; anti-virus and anti-spyware can give a false positive. For instance some anti-spyware programs may detect perfectly valid entries in the Windows HOSTS file and in Internet Explorer's Restricted Sites as a hijack when in fact they aren't which results into a false positive.
Yes same thing here, over, and over. tried to download it from majorgeeks.com and downloads.com but it always comes with the trojan. At first I quarantied it but then deleeted and yes it shuts down CCleaner but the setup is still left in and just nowwent to add/remove and got rid of it....Too bad because I have used CCleaner for about 3 yrs. I did the deep zonealarm scan on it 4 times with the same result, so I wont be downloading it again.
Once again, the smart thing to do is submit the file to ZoneAlarm so that they can finally FIX this false positive, which they ought to do in a hurry, at least if they care about their reputation.
As Andavari already said, you can upload the installer at Virtustotal, where it will be scanned simultaneously by over 30 different antiviruses, including ALL the top brands, and you'll find that none of them will find anything wrong with it.
I'm running Zone Alarm's Internet Security Suite and I also have been getting a Win32.Backdoor.Delf.cir virus notice. There is no way to go in and exclude this in ZA.
Previous versions of CCleaner run fine, it's just this latest version.
I'd be happy to submit this to ZA if I knew how, but since it's just this last CC version and other AV programs are showing it as a virus also, shouldn't Piriform do an update to fix the problem?
I love CCleaner and don't want to give it up!

The question whether universities should have links with firms that are involved in the manufacture of armaments is topical. Since 2007, the policy of the University of Sheffield Students' Union has been to end all connections with such companies. Earlier this year however it was reported in the Forge Press (12 February) that in the previous five years the University received almost thirty million pounds, mainly from Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems and Boeing, three firms prominent in arms production.
However, a look at the University's history shows that these modern controversies are nothing new to Sheffield. In fact, the University has long had financially beneficial links with the arms trade. In 1879 Firth College, which was to become a constituent part of the University, was financed by Mark Firth, the industrialist whose firm specialised in the production of armaments. The arms manufacturer Vickers, which also had large premises in the city, was a substantial donor to the fund set up to help gain university status in 1905. Douglas Vickers, a director of the company, which has been described as perhaps the nearest English equivalent to the Krupp steelmaking dynasty, was the University's treasurer between 1917 and 1926.
In return, arms companies (in common with a wide range of other commercial undertakings) have benefited from the University's expertise. A striking example of this occurred a hundred years ago when William Ripper, the professor of engineering, became closely involved in the local munitions trade. (Ripper's biography is being added to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography today).
Ripper arrived in Sheffield, aged 21, in 1874 as a newly qualified teacher at Carbrook board school. A year later he became head teacher at Walkley school, subsequently advancing to the posts of science master at Sheffield Central Higher School (1880) and professor of mechanical engineering at Firth College (1889). He remained professor of engineering until 1920 and also acted as the University's vice chancellor from 1917 to 1919. His books included Practical Chemistry (1883) and Steam Engine Theory and Practice (1899).
By the spring of 1915 there was unease both locally and nationally about the conduct of the First World War. The tactic of using heavy guns to bombard enemy lines had not led to a breakthrough on the western front. On 14 May The Times carried an influential report that the recently fought battle of Aubers Ridge had been lost because of a shortage of shells. The recriminations that followed led to a political crisis and the formation of a coalition government, with Lloyd George as minister of munitions.
Ripper was already well known locally. For some thirty years he had promoted technical education through lectures and evening classes. He was a member of the city's education committee. The munitions committee, which met on an almost daily basis, set out to identify firms in the city and surrounding areas that could adapt their machinery and workers for war production. Silversmiths, Ripper later wrote, became expert manufacturers of steel helmets. The workshops of his own department trained hundreds of men in shell turning. The University's engineering laboratories also tested carbon steel tools and made thousands of precision gauges.
King George V attended a meeting of the committee and inspected local workshops in September 1915, and other distinguished visitors included General Smuts and Lord Jellicoe. In August 1917 Ripper's work received further official recognition when he was created a Companion of Honour.
The controversy over the ethics of universities collaborating with arms firms is unlikely to burn out. In Sheffield the Students' Union policy of opposing any involvement with arms companies seems firmly in place. But so embedded are the links, and so mutually advantageous to those in a position to take decisions, that it seems probable they will continue for some time yet.
