Safety is a value proposition that has provided ASK-EHS an opportunity to provide and supply leading global organizations the reassurance and resilience that drives their operation. Foundation day celebrates our past, and the stakeholders engage in the company's year completion with the employees' in an unparalleled elation and joy.
ASK-EHS celebrated its 12th Foundation day on the 4th of March 2019 – coinciding with the National Safety Week. The journey of providing 'safety' business values that can be readily imbibed by organizations, still continues. This was a special occasion not only from an organizational viewpoint but also goes on to show how ASK-EHS has been growing year by year and helping reinforce the culture of safety, health and environment, globally. This also celebrated the individual contributions of the team at Surat headquarters and spread around the globe.
ASK-EHS witnessed a splendid celebration in-house, wherein fun-driven activities, speeches, quizzes were the eye-catch for the event. The day initiated with addressing by the Directors of ASK-EHS, and they emphasized the essence of safety in organizations and in the day-to-day routine, followed by the contributions of ASK-EHS in the past 12 years in the safety domain.
A fire-safety training was undertaken for a general safety awareness which was influenced by the safety oath-taking ceremony organized by the creative minds of ASK-EHS. The day infused in some fun and humor, as the employees chose an innovative path to express their talent with poster-makings, safety slogans, safety poems and light-hearted jokes. A quiz was organized for the staff and the intellects furthered the competition with their safety and general knowledge.
The foundation day marked the gracious presence of Joint Director of Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health,(DISH) Gujarat. An asset to the organization DISH, his added value to the event, made it a success.
Apart from the local celebration here at Surat, our partner sites also celebrated national safety week and foundation day. An online quiz show, Kaun Banega EHS Expert, garnered a tremendous response with over one hundred individuals winning several prizes.
These contributions added, stitched together via the thread of discipline makes what ASK-EHS stands for today – an exceptional integrated EHS services' provider.

A10 Networks Expands Security Portfolio Capabilities to Bolster Zero Trust Architectures
Growing Threat Landscape Requires Modern Defenses to Mitigate Infiltration from Malware, Ransomware and Other Emerging Threats
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Sept. 7, 2021 – Since the beginning of the pandemic, the nature of and targets for cyberattacks have rapidly shifted from mere data and applications to critical infrastructure such as gas pipelines and food suppliers. Additionally, organizations that have been greatly impacted by the pandemic, including healthcare and educational institutions, have become more specifically targeted by threat actors. As this new threat environment spans both the digital and physical worlds, employing a Zero Trust security strategy is now more critical than ever. In fact, after the latest string of attacks during the first half of 2021, President Biden issued an executive order aimed at improving cybersecurity for both public and private organizations. The order emphasized the importance of a Zero Trust approach.
A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN) has enhanced its solutions to help customers meet and accelerate their Zero Trust strategies. Zero Trust eliminates implicit trust from information technology systems, and is embodied by the maxim 'never trust, always verify.' It recognizes that internal and external threats are pervasive, and the de facto elimination of the traditional network perimeter requires a different security approach. Every device, user, network, and application flow should be checked to remove excessive access privileges and other potential threat vectors. Multi-layered protection should incorporate controls, from i) foundational visibility into encrypted traffic streams to stop infiltration from ransomware, malware, and other common attacks, ii) application workload protection through segmentation and advanced user authorization and verification, and iii) sustainable user training in best practices to minimize risky behaviors.
Zero Trust has become a major initiative for many organizations. Gartner® observes, "the term "zero trust" has value as a shorthand way of describing a paradigm where implicit trust is removed from all of our computing infrastructure. Implicit trust is replaced with explicitly calculated, real-time adaptive trust levels for just- in-time, just-enough access to enterprise resources."[1]
Modernize Network Security for Zero Trust
A10 has made enhancements to its security and infrastructure solutions to strengthen Zero Trust architectures for digital resiliency.
Infiltration visibility and protection – network and end-point infiltration visibility and prevention are foundational in protecting against encrypted ransomware, malware, and other malicious activities. Augmented TLS/SSL inspection management and deployment capabilities are available to aid in operationalizing visibility.
Automated DDoS protection – application workload and infrastructure protection from escalating IoT, botnet and amplification threats with Zero-day Attack Pattern Recognition, using artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) technologies and new packet watermarking effectively mitigate malicious and unauthorized access.
Granular operational micro-segmentation – network and infrastructure segmentation isolates flows and processes to reduce the attack surface and lateral movement. The A10 Thunder® Multi-tenant Virtual Platform (MVP) on Dell Technologies provides strongly isolated instances, in addition to application delivery partitions (ADPs), efficient containerized instances, and other options to achieve operational isolation.
Advanced user authorization and verification – user workload access protection prevents unauthorized and bot access with stronger identity access management (IAM) via multi-factor authentication (MFA) and new CAPTCHA capabilities now common on consumer websites. Organizations can use application delivery capabilities as a bastion host, for external and internal users, to provide identity-based and context-based Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) policies with specific enforced access rather than full network or tunnel VPN access.
Real-time observability and central management – oversight into operational status and the ability to apply policy across multiple environments, including public, private and hybrid cloud infrastructures, reduce incident response times, human error, and complexity. Centralized analytics and management enhancements in A10 Harmony® Controller apps include new IP tracing, granular access controls (RBAC), and more application usage views.
A10's solutions, as part of a strong Zero Trust architecture, help security teams eliminate unnecessary risk and become more efficient. Default configurations, encrypted traffic, excessive privileges, lack of micro-segmentation and emerging attack vectors lead to exploitation by threat actors and need to be addressed. These A10 solutions are being adopted by our customers in service provider and enterprise markets.
"Customers are facing unprecedented increases in both threats and vulnerabilities along with a critical shortage of cybersecurity professionals. Now with threats crossing over into the physical domain, it is more critical than ever before to ensure safety, security and compliance. Service providers and enterprises are modernizing their security approaches as recommended by the Zero Trust security model to ensure digital resilience and successful business outcomes," said Dhrupad Trivedi, president and CEO of A10 Networks.

#RacingsBackbone: Supporting Horse Racing On ALL Levels
Huckleberry Hill at Indiana Grand, a small racetrack in Shelbyville, IN. Photo by Champions of the Track.
There is much more to the sport of horse racing than the Triple Crown and The Breeders' Cup. Thousands of horses never even make it to the graded stakes level. Despite this, these thousands of horses are loved by the hundreds of thousands of people who work with them.
Though racing on a small stage, these horses are not talentless. Many of them show supreme dominance over their foes on a regular basis. Others display courage that never falters every time they line up with other horses in the stretch. Watching these athletes perform in allowance races is no less exciting than watching a Grade 1 race. The love given to these horses by the hundreds and thousands of people who work for them is contagious. On the backside of every racetrack from Churchill Downs to Thistledown, you will see a love like no other coming from the grooms and hot walkers. It is not uncommon to see an exercise rider leaning over the neck of their mount, giving them pats and words of encouragement. You can regularly see jockeys giving their horses a kiss on the nose or a scratch behind the ears. And, the trainers have endless amounts of love and respect for the horses that are their livelihood.

There are countless individuals who wake up long before the sun rises with a smile on their face to prepare their beloved horses for an optional claiming race at Belterra, Indiana Grand, or Turfway Park. Jockeys smile during the post parade and celebrate in the winner's circle, even if no one is in the grandstands to witness their abilities. For these people, this is a labor of love, not money or fame.
The lesser known racetracks, regional studs, local racehorses, and the people on the backside are the true backbone of the sport of horse racing. They keep this sport alive and accessible to all. Unfortunately, these places, people, and horses receive little to no recognition. Small racetracks are closing their doors. People are losing their jobs and are struggling to support their families. It is sad to see, as these places are so full of magic, love, and fun. The small tracks are where fans are made and careers in the industry begin. If they fall apart, horse racing does too.

Photographer Nicole Meiner and Champions of the Track have formed a partnership called #RacingsBackbone to help support and save the local levels of horse racing. Champions of the Track will regularly be featuring articles about the small tracks, breeding farms, local horses, and the people who work on the backsides of racetracks across the United States. We will also be showing the love for these places, people, and horses through photography and videography. We encourage the entire horse racing community to share your pictures and videos of your favorite small racetracks and low-level horses with the hashtag #RacingsBackbone. Help us create a movement that brings these horses, places, and people into the public eye.
Together, we can save horse racing.

How does your life flow — like a faucet? Like a fire hose?
No, I'm not talking about your rapping skills; I'm talking about your money. Have you ever noticed how much we talk about money as if it were water? Think about it: we say things like "cash flow," "liquid assets" and "frozen accounts." When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Money is like water in a bunch of ways, and understanding the way that water works can help us figure out the best way to control our money (instead of letting money control us).
Like water, money flows into and out of our lives. Rarely does a big chunk of money ever fall into our laps (outside of inheritance, legal settlements and other very special cases). Instead, we get our money bit by bit, paycheck by paycheck, often on a regular and somewhat predictable basis. Money flows from the people that pay us, through the "plumbing" of the banking system, and into our control. And money flows out from our lives, too, whenever we buy things. Cash comes in, cash goes out. It's rare that your checking account balance will look the same next week as it does today. Money, like water, is always moving.
Money and water have this important characteristic in common as well: They both help us to grow things in our lives. Without water, a farmer can't raise crops, and a gardener won't ever see her roses bloom. It's the same with money — our funding grows things in a literal sense (we buy food to feed our physical bodies), and also in a financial sense (income and investing grows wealth and independence). We can use this life-giving property of money to help grow things that are important to us, like our churches or ministries that we support. It's impossible to live without water, and the same is true for money — without it, nothing grows.
The fact that finances flow like water can be a great thing, but it also makes money notoriously hard to control. Imagine trying to drink from your kitchen sink using only your hands. Sure, you'll capture plenty of water, and get some of it into your mouth. But along the way, you're going to loose a lot to the cracks between your fingers. Sadly, many of us live our lives that way, nourishing ourselves with money, but also losing a lot of it along the way. How many times have you opened your checking account statement and sat bewildered, asking yourself "Where did all the money go?" It's an age-old problem that the Bible addresses, albeit with a different metaphor. (Proverbs 23:5).
So, how do we keep our money from trickling out of our hands? Well, a savvy farmer learns to capture, channel and distribute his money in wise and strategic ways. With the proper systems and strategies in place, we can make our money go where we want it, when we want it to. Great planning keeps us from losing money in times of flooding (abundance), or withering up and dying in times of drought (lack).
So regardless of whether your flow is the size of a faucet or a fire hose, you can make it work a lot better if you build the right plumbing to channel it. And that means just one thing….
It's time to make a budget.
← God has a wonderful plan… for your money?


Summer's winding down, but that's no reason you can't keep working to make your waistline stay trim and chiseled! Getting into a great routine this fall will ensure your sexiest look as you prepare for the upcoming season: fall weddings, Halloween parties and other festive gatherings.
For a jumpstart to slim down, we've got a killer 30-day waist-trimming challenge that you can start right away. This program incorporates daily waist training with core-strengthening exercises to produce results that you'll love seeing in the mirror. Be sure to take progress photos and share them with us on Instagram #bethehourglass.
Waist training: start out with the challenge by gradually incorporating waist training into your lifestyle. If you're brand new to this, only do it for a couple of hours for the first couple of days.
Aim to wear your waist trainer for 5 days this week. By the end of the week, you should be able to wear it 4–6 hours a day.
Fitness: start your core exercises and up the intensity little by little. On the first day, start with 15 crunches*, 6 leg raises and holding a plank for 10 seconds. Feel free to add your own cardio and additional strength training to this routine if you're up for it.
Each day, do the same routine but add 5 more crunches, 2 more leg raises, and 5 seconds to your plank. By day 7 you should be doing 45 crunches, 18 leg raises, and holding a plank for 40 seconds. You're doing great – don't give up!
See here for the infographic on this fitness challenge from Fitness Republic.
*Note: if you're wearing a workout band as part of your waist training, be sure to remove it when you're doing crunches.
Waist training: aim for 5 days a week again wearing your waist trainer. You should work up to wearing it for 6–8 hours a day. You can break it up into smaller sessions of 3-4 hours each.
Fitness: continue with the same core exercises, adding 5 crunches, 2 leg raises and 5 seconds to your planks each day. By day 14 you should be doing 80 crunches, 32 leg raises, and holding a plank for 1 minute, 15 seconds. Keep going!
Waist training: your goal should be to do 5–7 days of waist training this week, at least 8 hours a day. Try to do each session uninterrupted. You can do it!
Fitness: you might be pushing the limits more on your fitness level now! Keep it up as you continue to add 5 crunches, 2 leg raises and 5 seconds to your planks each day. By day 21 you should be doing 115 crunches, 46 leg raises, and holding a plank for 1 minute, 50 seconds. Feeling the burn? Good! That means it's working.
Waist training: wear your waist trainer for all 7 days this week for 10 hours a day. We'll bet you can really start seeing the difference!
Fitness: if your abs weren't on fire before, they will be now! Keep adding add 5 crunches, 2 leg raises and 5 seconds to your planks each day. By day 30 you should be doing 160 crunches, 64 leg raises, and holding a plank for 2 minutes, 35 seconds.
Have fun and good luck! We can't wait to see the results.

Q: Clone certain branch of SVN repository from Google Code The question title is self-explanatory.
I need a way to clone(I'm a git user, so I've gotten used to that terminology) the branch box2d_2.0 from the svn repo - https://code.google.com/p/pybox2d/source/checkout
How do I do that? Googling didn't give me anything ...

A: You just need to construct the path in the URL correctly, following the example for trunk, like this:
svn checkout http://pybox2d.googlecode.com/svn/branches/box2d_2.0 pybox2d-read-only

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! Your support is appreciated as I participate in Hustle Chicago. I'll be leading my team, Speedy Delivery, and racing up 94 floors to the top of the Hancock Building. All donations will support the mission of Respiratory Health Association to prevent lung disease, promote clean air and help people live better through education, research, and policy change.
My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in May 2018 - so the mission of the Hustle and Respiratory Health Association has taken on personal importance. My mom has never smoked and has always taken great care of herself so this was a huge shock to all of us. I think we're all still in the process of understanding exactly what her diagnosis means for her and our family. All things considered, she's been really fortunate. She's had a couple rounds of radiation but is able to do targeted therapy - a pill a day instead of general chemotherapy - which is less harsh on her body. While she deals with pain, fatigue and other side-effects, we're all really thankful for the care she's receiving and how she's responding to treatment. My dad is an amazing partner to her - going to doctor appointments, taking care of household responsibilities when she doesn't have the energy and encouraging her to be positive.
Lung cancer is surprisingly common in women and among non-smokers. Recent advancements in treatment have been a positive step but more needs to be done. Supporting organizations like RHA is a great place to start. Please consider donating; no amount is too small.
Great job with your fundraising!
Best of luck, Kevin, and big hugs to you & your mom.


There are a lot of smartphones on the market, and Taiwanese manufacturer HTC makes some of the best ones. They'd be awfully better if its users install a VPN on their HTC device. Which is the best? You have to read on to find out.
To make most out of your HTC device, users should use a VPN. A Virtual Private Networks provide its users with privacy and security while they're browsing the internet. They achieve that by encrypting all data transmitted or received using strong protocols that make it hard to decipher. Installing a VPN on an HTC smartphone is pretty easy. Follow the guide below to learn how to install a VPN on your HTC smartphone.
Download and install the VPN application from Google Play Store on your HTC smartphone.
HTC is one of the most popular smartphones around. It is not a surprise then, that its users are keen to get extra security and online freedom using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The challenging part here is finding a suitable provider that would satisfy users' needs. With that being said, here are some of the best four VPN providers that we've found for HTC mobile devices.
ExpressVPN is by the far the most perfect VPN for an HTC smartphone. This provider has over 1,000 servers, which makes connecting to one of its servers real easy. All you need to do is download the app, and with a few taps, you get to connect to ExpressVPN's many servers.
There's plenty of geo-restricted content you can access with over 94 countries that you can connect up to. ExpressVPN offers you a 30-day money back guarantee and 24/7 customer service. For more information on ExpressVPN, check out this review.
IPVanish is a VPN that promises to hide your online identity and keep you completely anonymous. This provider follows a strict no-logging policy and keeps zero logs of its users. IPVanish keeps you absolutely protected with its 256-bit AES encryption and SHA512 authentication.
IPVanish's team is not wrong to declare that this provider is the world's fastest VPN. IPVanish doesn't offer a free trial only a seven-day money back guarantee. It would be a great choice for HTC smartphone users. Read more about IPVanish in this article.
NordVPN would make a great VPN for an HTC smartphone. They have more than 4,000 servers spread across sixty different countries. The number of servers in their network helps this provider maintain its speed.
With NordVPN, you can access all the content you want without any restrictions. It keeps you protected with its unique security features, and it offers customers a 30-day money back guarantee. Read more on NordVPN in this review.
BulletVPN would also make a good option for HTC smartphones. This provider's aim is to ensure that both security and privacy are maintained. BulletVPN enables you to set up multiple connections under one subscription so that all the data on your HTC smartphone remains intact.
Furthermore, BulletVPN has the ability to bypass geo-restrictions from all around the world. BulletVPN keeps zero logs and offers a 30-day money back guarantee. More on BulletVPN in this article.
The main reason behind getting Virtual Private Networks is gaining online privacy and security. VPNs provide super strong encryption levels that make your data almost impossible to track or trace. If you so happen to come across any kind of restrictions, a VPN will help you bypass them. This way, you get to access all the content you want from anywhere across the globe. Furthermore, you will also be granted protection from government surveillance, third parties, and ISPs.
We understand that choosing a VPN can be difficult. There are plenty to choose from. However, in this article, we provided you with the best options on the market. After making use of a VPN, you'll realize that your HTC has never been so good! Which VPN would you choose for your HTC smartphone? Let us know in the comment section below.


I don't know about you, but I am always in the mood for a chocolate chip cookie. Honestly, is there anything better? If you feel this way too, then today I've got the perfect recipe for you. A gooey, soft, and delicious chocolate chip cookie.
Mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder.
In an electric mixer (separate from the first bowl), combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and eggs.
Gradually begin pouring the first mixture (flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder) into the electric mixer. Allow the two mixes to combine.
Form dough into round 1-inch balls and place them on an un-greased cookie sheet.
Bake cookies in the oven for 11-12 minutes.
Thank you! And haha I know what you mean!
Love Chocolate cookies. They look delicious.
Yum! I could definitely go for one of these cookies today.
Thanks! They definitely were delicious!
They're pretty good! I would definitely recommend it!
Thank you! And crunchy cookies are so good!
Thank you for sharing! I have to watch myself around chocolate chip cookies or I'll eat the whole batch with a glass of milk!💜 I have a blog tea party on the 3rd and I'm encouraging my blog readers to drop their link off on my posts. Would you care to share your world with us?
Oh my 😍 I like brownies, cookies, and ice cream!
Those are all great desserts!


Psionicsts are not limited to attacking single targets. One method of attack that can affect more then one target is a psychic 'shout.' This involves the caster, creating with his mind, a large burst of mental energy that is released into surroundings. This mental energy attacks the mind of anyone who happens to be in the target area. This spell is refered to as a 'shout,' due to the loud verbal command needed to execute this spell. Once the command is uttered, the effects are instantaneous, making it seem like the verbal command, or shout, is the cause of the damage to the targets, not the mental portion of the spell.

Peter T. Daniels (born December 11, 1951, currently living in New Jersey) is a scholar of writing systems, specializing in typology. He was co-editor (with William Bright) of the book The World's Writing Systems (1996), and he introduced the terms abjad (an "alphabet" with no vowel letters) and abugida (a system partly alphabetic, partly syllabic) as modern linguistic terms for categories of scripts. (These terms had been used previously in a more restricted sense by specialists in the fields of the Arabic alphabet and Ge'ez script, from which languages they were borrowed respectively.)

If federal stimulus funding comes through, trucks at selected West Coast ports may become cleaner still, according to Cascade Sierra Solutions, a non-profit that plans to work with such partners as the Washington State Dept. of Ecology; Washington's Ports of Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia, and the Portland, OR port to replace the oldest trucks serving the seaports with newer, cleaner vehicles.
According to Sandor Lau, development director for Cascade Sierra Solutions, which seeks to reduce fuel consumption and curb emissions from heavy-duty diesel trucks via idle-reduction equipment and other efficiency-enhancing components, a retrofit program called "Bridge to a Better Future" is ready to roll later this year-- if federal funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) comes through.
The Bridge to a Better Future program aims to replace approximately 500 of the oldest trucks hauling in and out of some West Coast ports with trucks that are model year 2003 or newer by providing truck operators with ultra-low cost vehicle leases—leases that have monthly payments of just $450.
What's more, $100 of each payment would go into a special savings account to create a fund for use toward the purchase of a new or cleaner used truck at the end of the six to seven year lease period. "One of the best things about this program is that it includes the opportunity to automatically save for a down payment on the purchase of a newer, cleaner truck," said Lau.
Like many ports around the country, the West Coast ports are already working to clean up their operations. According to a recent Cunningham Report, for example, three-fourths of all trucks calling at the Port of Seattle are model year 1994 or newer, and nearly a third of the vessels that call frequently at the port use lower-sulfur fuels.
Those results were recently presented to Seattle's Port Commission as part of the first-year progress report on efforts to reduce diesel and greenhouse gas emissions. The goals for emission reductions were identified in the 2007 Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy. All cruise vessels calling in Seattle have already met the 2010 goals by using either shore power or 1.5 % sulfur fuel in their main engines while in port.

Derry and Donegal is anyone's game, according to legendary McGuirk
Kieran Cunningham
Ulster GAA Football Senior Championship Quarter-Final, MacCumhaill Park, Ballybofey, Donegal
Johnny McGuirk was born in October 2016.
It makes sense, trust us on that one. The explanation will come in time, but who is he?
There is no more celebrated family in Derry GAA than the McGurks.
Johnny is one of 13 children born to Hugh and Catherine — and GAA became their life.
They had a passion for both codes and, on the football field, Anthony won All Stars in 1973 and 1975, Hugh Martin captained Derry in the 1980s, and Johnny and Collie lifted Sam Maguire in 1993.
That year will always be seen as the high water mark for Derry and McGurk's fingerprints were all over the 1993 season.
It was McGurk who came forward from wing-back to kick the winning point in the semi-final win over Dublin.
It was McGurk who picked up the man-of-the-match award after the final victory against Cork.
His finest moment, though, was captaining Lavey to the club All-Ireland in 1991.
Remarkably, seven McGurk brothers were involved in the final — four starters and three on the bench.
Now Derry are looking to the McGurks again.
Johnny has been a selector with the Derry Under-20s this season. His son, James, is on the team. Another son, Patrick, is full-back with the Derry minors.
McGurk cut his teeth on ferocious battles with Donegal — and Derry usually had the edge.
But Derry go to Ballybofey tomorrow chasing a first Ulster Championship win in six years. They dropped hard and fast.
"Derry had a decent team in the noughties. The Bradley brothers, Kevin McCloy was about, Enda Muldoon was there — but they didn't get an Ulster title," he said.
"They were very much in the throes of trying to win things, though. Since about 2009, Derry have slipped off the radar in terms of winning Ulsters.
"Our last Ulster title was in 1998 but we were competitive in the noughties. We slipped away then. Reasons? A dearth of talent — especially in the forwards.
"Derry don't seem to produce the amount of quality forwards as teams like Donegal and Tyrone — I don't know why that is."
The McGurk family made their mark way beyond football and hurling.
McGurk's grandfather, Anthony, was interned in Frongoch in Wales alongside Michael Collins after the 1916 Rising.
He took the opposite side to Collins in the Civil War but saw no action as he was interned for nearly two years on the prison ship Argenta in Belfast Lough.
Two of Anthony's brothers had emigrated to Canada, joined the Royal Mounted Police and fought for Britain in World War One.
The attack on a civil rights march at Burntollet Bridge by loyalists and off-duty B Specials in January 1969 has been described as the spark that lit the fire of the Troubles.
Three of McGurk's siblings — Anthony, Aileen and Joe — were on that march. Their father pulled them out of it when they came to Lavey. It was a lucky break.
Johnny embellished the family name but, just over five years ago, he walked into prison.
On May 12, 2016, McGurk was sentenced to 10-and-a-half months behind bars for stealing £572,206 from the construction firm where he worked as an accountant.
The money disappeared quickly — he embezzled the funds to feed his gambling addiction.
McGurk placed his first bet while still in school. The bug took over when he was in university, and things quickly accelerated.
He had a joint account with his then wife that contained £50,000. He cleaned it out.
They lost their house too.
And there was one Saturday that he'll never forget.
McGurk would place bets on soccer leagues all over Europe — even lower division games.
On that Saturday morning, he had £68,000 in his online betting account. That evening, he didn't have a penny left.
"It takes you over and you don't have a clue... you end up with no concept of money," he said.
"I lost 68 grand that day but, if I was able to get my hands on half a million, I'd have lost the half a million.
"It was that bad. You need to win what you've lost straightaway. It's absolutely foolish."
There is an argument that public humiliation — when you're widely respected — is far worse than any prison sentence.
It's something McGurk has to live with — as big a part of his story now as Lavey in 1991 and Derry in 1993.
"It really doesn't leave you, to be honest. I manage with it and I manage well with it but there will be a certain bit of shame there," he said.
"You wake up in the morning and it's nearly the first thing that comes into your head.
"I've learned to live with it as best I can, but I wouldn't say that it's not still there — the shame, especially."
In October 2016, McGurk was released from prison — a couple of weeks before his 51st birthday.
He was given a second chance. It's almost like a rebirth, but he knows the future holds no guarantees.
"Now, it's very easy for me to say it's only figures, but I could very easily find myself doing that again," he said.
"If I let myself go, I could easily do it. That's how I understand that it is an addiction, because I could see how I could fall back into it."
So what stops him from slipping again? Is it counselling or group therapy?
"My family. I was lucky that my family gave me a chance. They were so strong for me.
"I've got a second chance. If I did it again, I know that I'd lose everything that I have.
"I've children that I don't want to let down again. I've a partner that I don't want to let down.
"If I went back to gambling in any form, that would be the end of it."
McGurk is working again – in quality assurance with a kitchen company.
He is coaching with club and county. His kids and partner are the apples of his eye.
For all that he's gone through, he feels blessed.
"I feel very lucky. My partner, Helen, is fantastic and is so strong for me. The boys forgave me immediately, and they were quite young then.
"That meant a huge amount. We have a little daughter now as well. They're all great fun.
"My family have got over it better than I ever will."
He credits Lavey with playing a big part in supporting him, and McGurk is still in thrall to the GAA, his club and Derry.
"Derry aren't without hope. They are probably one of the fittest teams in the Championship but Donegal are a great side.
"Losing Michael Murphy was a blow to them. He's one of the best players I've ever seen and he's going to be a miss.
"Derry won't be going with the attitude of previous years that it's a foregone conclusion.
"I think Derry will have a pep to their step and go for the win. Donegal should win but Derry will have a cut."

Some controllers offer a method of calibration, once you set the limits on the motor itself you run a calibration with the controller and the shade runs down/up and determines total travel so the controller learns the travel time for up and down.


Writing about local history brings together three of my passions: place, story, and language. So I was more than delighted at the Council for Wisconsin Writers awards banquet on Saturday to see Milwaukee historian John Gurda receive this year's CWW Major Achievement award.
"I believe in the power of shared stories to shape communities," Gurda said. "What I've always loved about history is how it explains how we got here." Since 1972, he has written twenty-one books about Milwaukee and has no plans to stop. Milwaukee Public Television based a five-hour documentary on his The Making of Milwaukee.
Someone once asked him if being a writer ever felt lonely. "A large part of me wants to be left alone," he said. Most writing is solitary work. It was a rare treat on Saturday to be in a room full of people brought together by their love of writing.
Other Wisconsin writers recognized at the CWW banquet for outstanding work published in 2016 include Catherine Jague, David Southward, Carolyn Kott Washburne, Liz Wyckoff, Rachel Davidson Leigh, Particia Skalka, and Paula Dáil.
John Gurda's words are so true, Sarah. I hope a certain mutual friend of ours will finish the comprehensive book on the history of the furniture factories in Rockford (a topic close to my heart), and I've heard Janesville people speak in worshipful tones about Amy Goldstein's new book, Janesville: An American Story.
Great examples, thank you, Lisa!
I suspect the ways we think of our personal and family stories shape us individually as well.

UTMSU has won the case between them and UTMSFL.
UTMSU wins UTMSFL lawsuit
A judge ruled in favour of UTMSU's choice to deny club status.
Fatima Alvi
Mahmoud Sarouji
A judge has ruled in favour of UTMSU following their lawsuit with pro-life group UTM Students for Life. The lawsuit, which was filed in 2016 after UTMSFL was denied club status on campus, alleged violations to freedom of speech on part of the UTMSU.
Speaking in an email to The Medium, UTMSFL's president Chad Hagal expressed disappointment at the final judgement. "While we are disappointed at the outcome of the decision, we will continue to try and raise awareness among our fellow students about the value of human life. We aren't mad or angry at anyone, and recognize that our group's experience is part of the overall pattern across Canadian campuses of silencing marginalized views, including pro-life expression," Hagal stated.
"We agree with the stated commitment in UTMSU's Constitution and bylaws to uphold student rights regardless of their personal or political beliefs, and believe it is important that students' opportunities to engage with their peers in sharing information and perspective should not be limited based on their beliefs," he added. Currently, the group is determining whether or not they will be filing for an appeal.
UTMSU's president Salma Fakhry did not respond to The Medium's request for comment, as of press time.
During the proceedings of the lawsuit, UTMSFL maintained their presence on the UTM campus by tabling in buildings and stopping students to discuss Canada's current abortion laws.

THE GOD PARTICLE
It was a routine job. They'd just tested a 7 TeV event, the beams had circulated already, but a component needed to be replaced. Overheated likely. It was a common occurrence at the LHC. Billions of dollars, and still the thing was as vulnerable to minor malfunctions as your average coffee maker. But that's what Dmitry was there for. He was a tinkerer, and so he plied his trade in any way possible. It just so happened that the machine he was currently tinkering with was responsible for the discovery of the mythical God Particle.
He hated the name. He didn't want to be a pain in the ass, but he corrected anyone whenever the term was used in his presence. "Higgs Boson," he'd say, like some stern schoolteacher. "The other term is more of a media construction, not entirely representative of what it is…" By then, whoever he'd corrected was already zoning out, a combination of annoyance at being corrected and disinterest in Dmitry's attempts at being pedantic. But he wasn't really. Being pedantic, that is. He felt as deeply about the proper use of terms in public life as he did about his nonbelief in God or any sort of spiritual deity. He wasn't an antitheist, didn't feel it necessary to convince anyone else of anything they didn't already believe (he recognized the irony of atheists who complained about religious fundamentalists espousing their views while simultaneously trying to push their own beliefs on others), he just refused to take anything on faith. He was an empiricist of the highest degree. You could have a gun pointed at his head and tell him that you were going to kill him, and he'd refuse to even accept the fact that a bullet would come out of the gun until it actually entered his brain.
But anyway, Dmitry was replacing the component. Simple, he'd done it a thousand times before. The machine was delicate despite its enormity, but Dmitry was a consummate surgeon tending to his patient, each movement precise and handled with the utmost restraint. He really cared about his work, it was tangible. Out of nowhere, an alarm sounded. Blaring, seemingly coming from every direction. Dmitry's stomach dropped out, like it had just decided that being a part of his body was no longer in its interest. Before Dmitry even had the chance to conceptualize the fact that this was a nightmare scenario, that the particle accelerator had been activated while he was still tending to it, before he could panic or pray to a God he didn't believe in or rationalize his impending death, a beam of pure white nothingness escaped from around the bend of the LHC, heading his way. The last image Dmitry had in this mortal world was of Jon Osterman, his favorite character in Watchmen (and perhaps his favorite character from any fictional work) as his intrinsic field was torn from him, fating him to become Doctor Manhattan.
Th-re was a w-rm, m-lky swe-tness. A sp-ce had op-ned in his m-nd. The pi-ces were sc-ttered in the w-nd, and he had to p-ck them all up, like l-tters m-ssing from a Scr-bble bo-rd. He used his bra-n feroc-ously, the only th-ng he ever f-lly tr-sted. Sl-wly, l-ttle by l-ttle, his id-ntity came back to him.
He was Dmitry. He was a tinkerer. He had been fixing a component on the LHC at CERN, and there'd been an accident. He had died. But no, that was impossible. If he'd died, there'd be no consciousness, no mind to think these thoughts. He was alive. But he looked down, and there was no body. Rather, he thought he looked down. He had no eyes to look with, but he was seeing. No mind to think with, but he was thinking.
He was surrounded by the most brilliant colors he'd ever seen. They had an ethereal glow to them, full and rich beyond conception. Dmitry felt as though he could swim in them, taste them. They filled him up as he explored this new plane, like pure sustaining manna. He hadn't a care in the world. The words "Higgs" and "God" meant nothing to him. He didn't need them, or any other words for that matter. This was an all-consuming bliss, permeating his every fiber of being. He felt as though he was being held in the arms of an inconceivably massive giant, a creature whose every wish was to keep him warm and comfortable. He could lie here forever. And so he wanted to, just like that.
But it wasn't to be. It all flooded back, Dmitry's consciousness filling up his flesh-and-blood body like a bucket pouring haphazard into a dirty aquarium. The vessel muddied up the pure water, that spirit of light and love that Dmitry had been a part of for the briefest of moments. He coughed up, his lungs fighting to provide oxygen to his brain. His body didn't want to let go of that spirit just yet, like some child desperately clinging to his favorite blanket. Dmitry laid there, flat against the cold ground in CERN, his eyes peering up at the ceiling. In the periphery, the LHC itself. The sound of footfalls as others rushed to Dmitry's aid. But he wasn't worried. On the contrary, he was excited. He knew what was waiting for him now.

U.S. Veterans and the criminal justice system
New Orleans-area Criminal Courts Trying to Help Troubled Veterans During the recent Veterans Day holiday, like most people in America, I was thinking about the plight of former soldiers. A large number of veterans are plagued by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression and other mental-health issues. They are dealing with substance abuse, financial problems, homelessness, criminal charges, civil disputes, lack of family or marital support – the list goes on. The conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq that began early in the first presidential term of President George W. Bush were extremely costly in terms of the loss [...]

Secret Injections and Messy Justice!
On Tuesday, April 29, 2014 two convicted murderers were set to be given lethal injections for their crimes in Oklahoma. Clayton D. Lockett and Charles F. Warner were to be Oklahoma's latest executions. As the clock drew down on Mr. Lockett he was supposed to be given his last meal, marched down to the execution chamber, strapped down, injected with a cocktail of lethal drugs and peacefully pass away….or so the authorities thought! Normally, and in the recent past in the U.S., the practice of injecting a person with a fatal dose of drugs was pretty straight-forward and [...]

Crack Cocaine — Fair Sentencing Act 2010 Amendment
Federal Criminal Defense Attorney What Is the Crack Cocaine Amendment to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines? Historically, federal law treated those convicted of crack cocaine offenses much more harshly than those convicted of offenses involving cocaine. This is despite the fact that chemically the substances are very similar and physiologically they react with the body in the same way. The sentencing disparity between crack cocaine and cocaine offenses was originally 100 to 1. This means that if a conviction for 100 grams of cocaine would result in a 30 year sentence, it would only take 1 [...]

Phenazepam is now listed as a Schedule I in Louisiana — New Orleans Drug Crime Attorney
NEW ORLEANS DRUG CRIME DEFENSE ATTORNEY Elizabeth B. Carpenter, Esq. -- New Orleans Criminal Defense Attorney Governor Bobby Jindal has signed Act 346 of the Louisiana 2012 Legislative Session. This act adds phenazepam to the list of Schedule I controlled dangerous substances. Phenazepam is a benzodiazepine drug, which was developed in the Soviet Union and now produced in Russia and some CIS countries. Phenazepam is used in the treatment of neurological disorders such as epilepsy, alcohol withdrawal syndrome and insomnia. It can be used as a premedication before surgery as it augments the effects of anesthetics and reduces anxiety.

Challenging New Moon
By Julia Griffin
Image by Eric Hansen
October's New Moon appears on Sunday, October 27 at 11:38 pm ET. New Moons create a period of the void–a lack of motion and a time for reflection. (This summer, I planted a few seeds and plants on the New Moon and watched in dismay for 2 months until they finally overcame the "lull".)
Obviously, it's a time to move inward, and this vibration is intensified by two factors. The Sun (life) and Moon (emotions) are placed in Scorpio, an intense water sign that amplifies the emotions and interest in the unknown. Both Sun and Moon oppose Uranus, ruler of the new age and bringer of sudden change. Mercury (communications) will move into retrograde on October 31, and both Mercury and Uranus rule electronics.
Sun and Moon in opposition to Uranus may bring feelings of rebellion or irritability. Uranus sends energy in waves that can lift us into realization; it's equally capable of making us feel stubborn and upset. It's important to move quietly and gently, nurture the inner self, and take life at a slower pace for a week or two. The energy can feel tiring, upsetting, or energizing–and it can come in phases as uplifting on one day and exhausting on the next.
Mercury (communications) and Venus (love, relationships) are conjunct (close to) in Scorpio, giving insight into emotions and discernment about the cause of uncomfortable feelings. The mind (Mercury) and the heart (Venus) are closely linked, and it's possible to use the connection to explore habitual emotions to find desirable insights and solutions. Mercury and Venus also trine (harmonious) Chiron, the wounded healer, which increases the ability of the mind and heart to heal together.
Venus trines (harmonious) Neptune (mysticism, illusion), illuminating the beauty in life, increasing awareness of help from the invisible world, and adding a dimension of spirituality to the mix.
Mars (male, assertion) in Libra seeks beauty and balance, but it squares Saturn (time, limitation), asking for examination of difficulties and limitations in the past. By clearing these blocks and understanding their meaning, we can begin creating new forms of balance between the sides of the self.
Jupiter (expansion, good fortune) remains square Neptune (mysticism, illusion), reducing self confidence and enthusiasm about life. Saturn (limitation, time) squares Pluto (underworld, transmutation.) We continue to task of seeing who we truly are, finding strength and courage within ourselves, and transforming our inner world.
We're likely to experience bursts of energy and tiredness.We may feel confused and/or move between 2 directions. (Oppositions are 180 degrees apart – or 2 opposites.) However, we have the beauty and intelligence of love (Venus) and Mercury (mind). Uranus in Taurus encourages connection with the earth.
Julia Griffin, intuitive healer and owner of One True Self, began her work fifteen years ago under the tutelage of real wolves. Following their direction, Julia sees and reads energy, including animals, plants and people. She works with people in session to find their resonance with the soul, clearing patterns and alignment with their inner path.

Her mother is one of Sweden's most popular artists. But Dina Isæus-Berlin is dead cool and relaxed. Her confidence shows that she is ready to unveil her graduation show at Konstfack and enter the professional art scene.
Except for the café by the entrance of Konstfack at Telefonplan in Stockholm we are also greeted by a large exhibition space called the White Sea. Right now, this space is occupied by 8 dazzling abstract artworks by the artist Dina Isæus-Berlin. It's her BFA exhibition at which she is searching within the act of painting for something she calls the Event.
Dina Isæus-Berlin grew up around art but it was as late as in her early twenties before she started to paint. And it was not until art history class that she realised that she had to practice art herself to fully understand it.
I'm an artist born and raised in in Stockholm, where I currently do degree in fine art at Konstfack's - graduating this spring.
Tell us about your show at Konstfack?
In "Morning Dew on the Field of Surrender" I'm showing seven large-scale oil paintings and one sculpture. In my recent work I have pushed myself to gestural freedom, in search for something I call the Event. A painting can look however, as long as an Event has occurred.
These painting have been done in two different steps or ways of working - first I paint fast and intuitive until the Event take place- if it does. Then more a slow, analytic way of painting takes over. How can I care for or maybe comment this particular Event?
But what is "the Event"?
The Event is a feeling of a sudden refresh, a sense of surprise, an exhale. When it happens it feels like the world is new again. It's an unexpected jump in the doing and responding which is the act of painting.
How did you get into the art world? Was there a pivotal moment when you decided to follow your path as an artist?
Naturally, the art world has always been present to me because of my mother. I decided to give it a go whilst studying art history in Uppsala. I felt it would be impossible for me to fully understand art if I didn't practice it myself. I couldn't just read about it, I had to do it!
My daily routine is quite varied. If I don't feel like painting I don't do it, instead I write, visit an exhibition or do something completely different. I try to paint only in the right moments.
I have moments when I wonder how it will work out, but I've never regretted the decision to become an artist.
Your mother is a famous artist. Is it only positive or negative?
It's both of course! But honestly most positive. She showed me that it's possible to become an artist. And its such a luxury to be able to have a studio talk with you mum.
First of all, getting a studio! Then I'm going to travel around Japan for some months. I've been interested in Japanese religion and philosophy for a long time and its time to really pursue those interests.
It's the decision to become an artist!
I try to see a lot of exhibitions, but I think other, more unexpected things can also be rewarding for your art. Practicing aikido for example, have actually been a way for me to understand art-making.

Who am I and why the particular interest in cancer and nutrition?
I am not a nutritional expert and I am not a health fanatic. I am someone with a real interest in nutrition, love food and try to see through all the complex & confusing information in order to make sensible choices regarding what myself and my family eat. I have very good reason for doing so.
There are currently more than 2 million people in the UK living with, or having had treatment for, cancer. I am one of them, being a long term survivor of childhood cancer. I have been surrounded by cancer for most of my life having been diagnosed at the age of 11 years with late stage Hodgkin's disease, and having worked as a children & adolescent cancer nurse for almost 30 years. Now aged 55 years, I still have to manage on a daily basis, the incapacitating chronic late effects and consequent challenges that being a childhood cancer survivor has brought.
Year on Year increases in people surviving cancer long term. Macmillan projects that within the next 5 years, almost 40% of cancer sufferers will not die from the disease. It is estimated that by 2030, there could be 4 million cancer survivors in the UK alone.
Increasing numbers of new cases of cancer, with every individual born after 1960 now having a 1 in 2 lifetime chance of developing cancer ( CRUK ).
In addition to my own personal health issues, at aged 49yrs, my husband underwent heart bypass surgery following a heart attack. This made me even more acutely aware of the importance of making sensible dietary choices.
As a result of my life experiences, I have, over many years, developed a great interest in nutrition, in particular, the nutritional connections to cancer (more info on our cancer page) & have always taken nutrition quite seriously (my husband calls it nagging!). However, after been named the fun police on a number of occasions, I came to realise that it is equally important to enjoy our food, including the treats we love.
The result is the development of menusforlife which I have decided to share with others as I believe that both living & working with cancer for most of my life has given me a unique perspective to offer.
I hope you find my website & simple approach to daily meal planning useful. I hope it demonstrates that the best way to lose & maintain weight loss is not to go on & off diets, but to make some key adjustments to your thinking, reshape some of your habits & make the right food choices most of the time. I also hope that you will use & enjoy my collection of recipes which aim to do just that.


In the early 70's, network operations began to increase and many companies started using Man-Machine Language (MML), a protocol readable by both humans and machines, to control equipment elements both locally and remotely. In 1984, Bellcore, an equipment manufacturer and research institute for the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) and the de facto standards organization throughout the 80's, specified Transaction Language 1 (TL1) as the standard protocol.
Bellcore changed its specification in 1988 to Common Management Interface Protocol (CMIP), another ASCII-based human readable language. However, perhaps because of its perceived complexity, CMIP was never widely implemented and TL1 continues to be the dominant network management protocol.

Sun Lakes Rotary Hosts Friendship Exchange
The S un Lakes Rotary Club recently participated in a Friendship Exchange with Rotarians and friends from District 9640 in Australia.
The eight Friendship Exchange Australians from D-9640, New South Wales/Queensland, gave a presentation, highlighting its 51 clubs with over 1,200 members. The District's main effort this year is focused on its malaria vaccine project. The Commonwealth of Australia was formed on January 1, 1901, with the signing of their Constitution and the federation of colonies joining, six British colonies of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia. The Australia flag has the Union Jack in the canton of a blue field, displaying five white stars in the form of the Southern Cross and a 7-point Commonwealth Star, representing the six Australian states and the Northern Territory. The name Australia was derived from the Latin Terra Australis, a name used for a hypothetical continent in the Southern Hemisphere since ancient times.
Team Leader Chris Wheelahan of the Grafton Club started it off and shared info on his family,
Grafton, and its Jacaranda Festival. Then Graeme Hargreaves of the Lismore West Club imparted to us his retiring from a government job and coming back to Australia and buying a macadamia nut farm. Spouse Helen is involved with the Australian Girl Guides ("Scouts"). Lismore West has donated more than $75,000 to various charities over the past three years. Eau Claire, WI, is its sister city. Janette Glynn of the Banora Tweed Club related to us about her hometown, Murwillumbah, population 9,245. The club's main project is the assembling and distribution of birthing kits to those in need. They also emphasize youth-focused projects. Rod (incoming President) and Jeannette Fry of the Banora Tweed Club live in Kingscliff, population of about 10,000. Also incoming President Ian Roberson of the Currumbin Club highlighted his club's monthly car booth sale project. Lastly the Australians gave a heartfelt thanks to us for our hospitality and to Frank Wiley who led our club's efforts.
