Caught on video: Male daycare worker allegedly slams tot-girl to ground, then wipes away the blood
by Kelly Hartog
A day care worker in Spring, Texas, has been charged with injury to a child after allegedly slamming a 4-year-old girl to the ground.
Gregory Diglin was charged on March 26, four days after the incident, after a parent contacted police saying her daughter had been injured at the Children's Lighthouse of Spring Harmony Daycare Center, reports ABC 7 Chicago.
According to the Daily Mail, the mother alerted police when she found that her daughter had a split lip.
Surveillance video footage from the daycare center shows Diglin grabbing the girl by the arm and slamming her face to the ground. The child immediately starts screaming and Diglin takes her off camera to the other side of the room. Police said Diglin then attempted to wipe the blood off her face.
Chief Matthew Rodrigue of the Montgomery County Constables Office told Click2Houston, "The child has sustained injuries to the face and mouth area, busted lips, damage to the gums, featured dental damage as well."
Police said the child is expected to make a full recovery but may have long-term dental trauma.
Diglin is currently being held at the Montgomery County Jail on a $200,000 bond.
On March 26, Children's Lighthouse released a statement to ABC 7 Chicago about the incident, that read in part:
The video that has been made public is extremely disturbing. Our concern is with the child and her well being, which is of ultimate importance.
A teacher who is now no longer employed at Children's Lighthouse of Spring Harmony acted in a manner that neither we nor our franchisee accept or condone. The owners of Children's Lighthouse of Spring Harmony terminated the teacher's employment immediately. Children's Lighthouse Franchise Company and the owners of Children's Lighthouse of Spring Harmony are cooperating with local authorities to ensure that the situation is handled properly.

The process of taking photographs is therapeutic for me. I love going on photo walks by myself and these walks make me realize how much beauty there is in simplicity. This is just a random collection of pictures. I have clicked mundane things like my breakfast or the flowers that were blooming but those things transformed into such beautiful photographs. Also I tried septum ring and went click click with my new lens. I plan to do one of the next series of pictures on wild flowers and hopefully make a theme out of it.

I believe everybody appreciates a green and an attractive lawn even though some of us think that they are difficult to create and maintain. I also used to believe so until I came across an informative tutorial about lawn care that changed my perspective completely.
Today, I've been able to maintain a beautiful garden because of the excellent info I was able to get from the internet. As such, it is important that I share some of the valuable lessons that I've learned over the years about caring for a green lawn.
Even though some of the guiding tips are applicable to specific settings, I have tried to focus on solutions to the main challenges that hinder most homeowners from developing a desirable lawn.
You will agree with me that weeds are a significant problem for anyone who wants a beautiful lawn. I discovered that weeds are best dealt with when they are sprouting. The simplest and probably one of the most efficient ways to remove weed is by uprooting them with your hands. I still do this even today.
Other than removing weeds by hand, I use quality pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weeds from sprouting. However, I realized that some weeds are resistant to conventional herbicides and these require hand picking. If you opt for herbicides and lawn treatment products, you should spray the lawn early in the morning, since most of them need moisture to stick on the weeds.
Over the years, I noticed that lawns are more beautiful when I perform high mowing more frequently. Most people who care for lawns think that cutting the grass short reduces the need for frequent mowing. However, from experience, I can tell you that mowing lawn short encourages weeds and alters the overall aesthetics. My general rule is to retain at least one-third of the grass height and cut it using sharp blades to prevent shredding, and tearing of the lawn.
Nothing can replace regular feeding and watering. Since I discovered this, I water my lawn every morning to prevent the sun from drying the soil and vegetation.
Though night watering can be a suitable option for many people, all the expert advice that I've read say that at night watering often result in excessive moisture that encourages diseases.
Besides, I realized that lawn grass grows well when I soak it up with clean water and apply nitrogen-rich fertilizer at least once every three months.
Animal urine contains nitrogen, and too much of it tends to kill plants. Since I love training my dog and spending time on the lawn, I have set aside a training space to prevent the dog from ruining the entire lawn. When I keep shifting the animal, the area is not so much affected.
If you apply these valuable tips, attaining a good lawn will be quite easy. Though you will have to sacrifice some time for the additional task, I can assure you that the benefits are worth it.


Bowling Green has enjoyed a solid ATS run against Akron in recent years, which makes it a dangerous road underdog when looking over the NCAA football odds Tuesday.
Bowling Green's 16-day break in between games is the longest regular season break in school history, which can't be ignored when making your Week 11 College Football picks, especially since they played eight games during the first eight weeks of the 2014 campaign.
Falcons first-year head coach Dino Babers has been focusing on fundamentals in practice over the last couple weeks, as he's capable of getting this squad prepared—winning a conference title in his first two years as head coach at Eastern Illinois before this stop.
Over the last two-plus seasons, the program is 6-1 SUATS in November, with the UNDER going 4-2-1 in that situation.
Akron returns home after dropping back-to-back road games against Ohio and Ball State, which is important to consider when looking over the College Football odds, as it has lost the statistical battle in three consecutive affairs.
The Zips have impressed in numerous categories under third-year head coach Terry Bowden, as they rank 20th in scoring defense and behind just 29 teams in defending the red zone.
Since the start of the 2012 campaign, the squad is 7-13 SUATS versus Mid-American Conference foes, with the UNDER cashing in 14 of those 20 opportunities.
The Falcons are one of four teams in the country to have five wide receivers with at least 20 receptions this year, with Roger Lewis being the main target with 53 grabs for 706 yards and three touchdowns.
He's trying to become the first freshmen in school history to surpass 1,000 yards receiving in a season, while he'd become just the seventh overall to hit that mark within the program.
The Zips have been without the services of No. 1 signal-caller Kyle Pohl the last two games, as he's been suffering from concussion symptoms, but he's listed as probable for this important midweek matchup at InfoCision Stadium.
Redshirt freshmen Thomas Woodson has played a part in eight games this year under center—completing 72-of-137 passes for 773 yards and five touchdowns.
I'm going to recommend that readers back the Falcons as one of their top football picks, as the Zips are 4-7 ATS as favorites the last two-plus seasons.


Juan Carlos Amat is what we might call a guitar aficionado today. He was a doctor by trade and earned his medical degree from the University of Valencia around 1595. Amat was born in Monistrol de Montserrat, Spain, and was named municipal physician for the town in 1618. He also held several other government positions, and even started a period as mayor when he died in 1642.
Today, Juan Carlos Amat's treatist, Guitarra española, survives him. Interestingly, the only extant edition of the treatise is a reprint from 1626. A letter of dedication at the beginning of the treatise is dated 1596, which is presumably the date of the original publication. Amat's book did not include any real pieces. Instead, it's a 9 chapter work that describes stringing, tuning, and playing all the major and minor chords on the five-course guitar.

OK people, not going to write much. Just showing all the trucks at Truck Stop and a couple of nosh pics I remembered to take before stuffing my face!
The crowd, all well behaved.
Yum Buns, we actually had 2 yum buns, a chicken and a pork but Junk forgot to take a picture. £3.50 each or 2 for £6. Highly recommended.
Baba G, Indian food. I was tempted by the Bhaji Box which at £4 is a good option for sharing.
Healthy Yummies, they were selling pan fried scallops in the shell. A colleague of mine tried it and she said it was good. Long queues though, be warned!
Spit and Roast, the Tweet got the Poutin here. For £3.50, you get a big tray of fries topped with cheese curd and rich, full of umami roast chicken gravy. We were not expecting the gravy to be filled with shredded chicken, good thing though! The Tweet wolfed the whole tray down in a couple of minutes. Spudcaterian!
Cheeky Italian, I think they were serving arancini balls and calzone.
That's Bleeker St Burger! They won the Young and Foodish burger bash but I didn't feel like burger today.
Mama's Jerk Station – Pretty self explanatory.
I got this from Mother Clucker. Wanted whole pieces of chook but apparently it takes to long to cook. So settled for cup of cluck. Nice!
Anyway, time to get sloshed, over and out!
Do buy tickets in advance to get tokens for 2 drinks!

Q: MasterPageFile in AutoHosted App's ASPX page I am trying to create SharePoint 2013 AutoHosted App. In that I have a Default.aspx page. I want this page to be a Master Page child. Or something like that.
I create a SharePoint Hosted App and copy the content that were written on the page. and then Added to my Default.aspx page which were necessary.
I have added bellow line to my page.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="AccordionDisplayAppWeb.Pages.Default" MasterPageFile="~masterurl/default.master" %>

I mean I just add MasterPageFile attribute in that.
But it is giving me error like follows.
Server Error in '/' Application.
Parser Error
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: The file '/Pages/~masterurl/default.master' does not exist.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.17929

But it is not working.
Can anyone help me to solve this.

A: When you create an AutoHosted App, the remote web is an ordinary ASP.Net web site, not a SharePoint site.
This means that the SharePoint "extensions" to MasterPageFile like the special token "~masterurl/default.master" isn't working.
You can/should still use a master page on the remote web if you have more than one page, but it'll have no connection to the one used at the SharePoint site. You need to add your own MyMasterPage.Master to the project and then use that in the MasterPageFile attribute like:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="AccordionDisplayAppWeb.Pages.Default" MasterPageFile="MyMasterPage.master" %>

While your autohosted app may not use the masterpage of from the SharePoint site it may use the styling through the client chrome control see: How to: Use the client chrome control in apps for SharePoint

Anyone who has sold very few stories professionally and/or hasn't been at it long.
Unlike neofan, which is rarely a term of opprobrium, neopro is often used to designate annoying professional newbies -- new professionals who aren't full of themselves tend simply to be called pros, while fuggheaded authors may merit the label long after they've been published.
This is well illustrated by a story told about a new writer in the 1960s who was visiting Boston and dropped in on a NESFA meeting at Tony Lewis' house. At the meeting, club members happened to be collating Instant Message, the clubzine. One of the club members said "Welcome! Will you help collate?" The writer replied, "No, I'm a professional now, so I don't do things like that anymore." Whereupon Ben Bova came in from the other room and said "Isaac (Asimov) and I are out of page 6 -- can you give me some more?"

Is your ductwork beginning to show its age? That often happens much sooner than homeowners expect, since price often takes priority over quality in builders' minds when it comes to air ducts. Since a deteriorating air duct system can reduce your home's energy efficiency, it will increase your energy bills, and can cost you in terms of home comfort and indoor air quality as well. So how do you know whether your ductwork needs replacement?
There are a lot of suggestions for saving household energy these days, especially as utility costs increase. Some of these work better than others do for your Fresno area home. One common suggestion is to close off registers in unused parts of your home. This used to be true, but with modern HVAC systems, it can actually create more problems, and end up making your utility bills go up instead of down.
If the storage-tank water heater in your Fresno area home is 10 years or older, it's probably getting near the end of its useful service life. This is especially true if your conventional storage-tank heater has received minimal preventative maintenance, or if your water supply is full of minerals. While looking at suitable replacement units, or as a first-time installation in a new house, you may want to consider a tankless water heater. Although upfront cost for a tankless water heater is greater than for a conventional storage-tank type, the benefits, including reduced energy use, will last the lifetime of the unit. This should more than make up for the initial price difference.

Q: Cocos2d v3 CCButton with label using CCLabelBMFont I am trying to create a CCButton named "Start" in cocos2d v3 using CCLableBMFont label as the button image. But I can't seem to get the label to be in the CCButton in v3.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.

A: I don't think you can apply a CCLableBMFont to a CCButton. Looking at the documentation, the only options available are:
+ (id)buttonWithTitle:(NSString *)title fontName:(NSString *)fontName fontSize:(float)size

or
+ (id)buttonWithTitle:(NSString *)title spriteFrame:(CCSpriteFrame *)spriteFrame

and a couple variations of these two. So I think you will have to settle with a sprite or a label with a TTF font as the button background.

A: Here's a utility function I added to my current project that does just that:
+(CCButton *)smallButtonWithLabel:(NSString *)button_label;

And the implementation:
+(CCButton *)smallButtonWithLabel:(NSString *)button_label
{
        CCButton *button = [CCButton buttonWithTitle:nil spriteFrame:[CCSpriteFrame frameWithImageNamed:@"dlg-sml-btn-bg-s.png"] highlightedSpriteFrame:[CCSpriteFrame frameWithImageNamed:@"dlg-sml-btn-bg-t.png"] disabledSpriteFrame:[CCSpriteFrame frameWithImageNamed:@"dlg-sml-btn-bg-s.png"]];
        [button setBackgroundOpacity:0.5 forState:CCControlStateDisabled];

        CCLabelBMFont *label = [CCLabelBMFont labelWithString:button_label fntFile:SS_FONT_48_24_MULTI width:button.contentSize.width alignment:CCTextAlignmentCenter];
        label.position = ccp(0.5, 0.5);
        label.positionType = CCPositionTypeNormalized;
        [button addChild:label];

        return button;
    }

You can modify it a little bit to fit your needs.
Hope this helps.

Before we had all of our gadgets, even television and radio, we had to amuse ourselves with books; we learned by tutors unless there was an established school, but for the rich, we turned to mostly tutors, learned men of the day. Different subjects for different sexes, too. There were subjects considered too manly for ladies. I'm not talking about the 20th or 21st century, but earlier when wit was the way we entertained ourselves in society; it was how we conducted business, and, of course, it was how we demonstrated our ability to lead others with our sophistication. People were admired and respected for their ability to use their wit and charm.
An odd way to start a training blog, but it seemed apropos, considering the topic. Today is filled with opportunities to reach a lot of people quickly through such obvious sources as twitter and other social/professional media. Some bloggers are quite witty. Some trainers, speakers and writers make a living using their wit. Stand-up comics and actors, it would seem to be a logical extension of those marked abilities–if they were particularly well known.
We do it all the time. We have moved away from the formal in many ways of doing business or conducting training. Tutoring is coaching, and you could assume a good tutor must also be able to charm as well as educate. We know the value of engaging an audience and generally this is one of the ways, probably the most used way of ingratiating ourselves with a client.
I wonder if we are doing ourselves any favors by focusing on the wit, rather than substance. Better yet, should we grow the "wit" to extend into longer expressions and discussions. We do it some. Substitute wit and charm to engage our audience and it's there. Some bloggers do it. Short blogs don't have much opportunity for a lot or wit or information; while longer ones can become short essays or commentary. There are advantages and disadvantages to each. I hope I fit into the latter category, or else my blogs are just too long for no purpose.
As a teacher, I am concerned we are creating a society that will be able to engage in short bursts of wit as we are bound to use in Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn so important is it to get out message in. Or, is message volume and repetition more important than information focused on our target market? Are other people–just because they are in the same circle as us really customers. There's nothing I hate more than an e-mail from a "friend" I've never met because we have this special connection that is nothing more than a sales pitch. Had this person asked for advice or suggested a connection, I might have listened instead of hitting the delete key. I expect I'll hear from social marketers on this one, but I'd rather hear what they have to say before they try to sell me on the advantages of what they know, which I don't, and waste my time and theirs. So, for me volume and repetition causes me to ignore or dislike intensely the product being offered–maybe even the entire range of product or services to include all other vendors.
So, what's the answer. Maybe it is time for subtle. That's what was so charming and engaging about wit: it was subtle. Maybe we do more of the living, more of the being who we say we are in so many characters (140 in Twitter), write things that do more than market. Sell yourself through your wit, sell your product or service in a more subtle way by being charming and helpful to others less successful, rather than a full market press. Could this be the new, unthinkable road to success in this world of sound bytes and flash cards like twitter?
You tell me. Your comments are appreciated and posted if subtle and appropriate. They don't have to be witty. My website is also yours to peruse should you have any curiosity about other subjects I take on. My background as a professional actor, trainer, speaker, and performance critic give me an unusual perspective sometimes. My Cave Man Guide to Training and Development, available through most eBook retailers, especially Smashwords, I'm practically giving it away. Smashwords is one of the many sites where you can write and publish your wit easily and with minimal cost. Now available through Amazon: my novel, Harry's Reality, is about what happens when the world stops talking to one another and allows the devices take over to make "acceptable and positive" connections.

Thomas Peter Lurz (født 28. november 1979 i Würzburg) er en tysk tidligere langdistance- og [[åbent vand-svømning|åbent vand-svømmer], der har været verdensmester og deltaget i tre olympiske lege.

Han opnåede sine første store internationale resultater i 2002, da han først vandt EM-sølv i 5 km svømning og senere VM-bronze i samme disciplin.

Han kom derpå med til OL 2004 i Athen, hvor han svømmede 1500 m fri (den længste distance) og endte på en 22. plads.

I 2005 opnåede han sin første topplacering ved et internationalt mesterskab, da han vandt VM-guld på 5 km; han vandt også VM-sølv på 10 km. Året efter vandt han VM-guld på både 5 og 10 km i åbent vand, og i 2007 gentog han bedriften fra 2005 med VM-guld på 5 km og -sølv på 10 km i bassin. I 2008 vandt han VM-guld på 5 km og -bronze på 10 km i åbent vand.

Dermed var han blandt favoritterne, da 10 km åbent vand-svømning kom på det olympiske program i 2008 i Beijing, og han kom da også på medaljeskamlen, da han hentede bronze, ganske tæt på briten Dave Davies på andenpladsen, mens hollænderen Maarten van der Weijden vandt guld med et par sekunders forspring.

I 2009 blev han verdensmester på både 5 og 10 km i bassin. Han blev desuden samlet vinder af FINAs 10 km World Cup i åbent vand i 2009, hvor han vandt otte ud af ti afdelinger. Han deltog ikke i den første afdeling, og blev nummer to ved finalearrangementet. I 2010 vandt han EM-guld i 10 km bassin samt VM-guld i 5 km åbent vand, og han vandt en guld- og to sølvmedaljer ved VM i bassin 2011.

Ved OL 2012 i London var han igen med i favoritfeltet, men det blev tuneseren Oussama Mellouli, der vandt, mens Lurz blev nummer to, tre sekunder efter, og canadieren Richard Weinberger nummer tre, yderligere et par sekunder efter.

Ved VM i bassin i 2013 vandt Lurz to guldmedaljer, blandt andet i 25 km, samt en sølv og en bronze, og ved EM i 2014 blev det til en sølv- og to bronzemedaljer. Han indstillede sin aktive karriere i maj 2015.

Efter stoppet i svømning har Lurz arbejdet i HR-afdelingen i et modefirma, og han har endvidere engageret sig ledelsen af SV 05 i Würzburg. I 2013 fik han udgivet bogen Auf der Erfoldswelle schwimmen rettet mod unge svømmere.

Abby Wambach Apologizes For DUI Arrest, Vows It Won't Happen Again
Abby Wambach has taken full responsibility for her DUI arrest.
The retired U.S. soccer star was arrested in Portland, Ore., at 2:20 a.m. local time Sunday and charged with misdemeanor DUI after having dinner at a friend's house, Wambach said on Facebook. The 35-year-old former forward apologized to her fan later that day and said she would never make the mistake again.
With two Olympic gold medals, four World Cup appearances and a World Cup win in 2015, Wambach is one of the most decorated soccer players in U.S. history. Wambach's 184 international goals are the most of any player, male or female.

Close your eyes with me. ( I know, I know, you're reading so not literally) Now… Close your eyes with me. Picture large rusted buildings. See the colorful Broadway type signs. Imagine tall polls wrapped haphazardly with hundreds of electrical wires. Now look at the street. It's dirty. Newspapers and magazines everywhere. You can't take a step without walking past a sleeping doggy and the cars… The cars are everywhere, vans and taxis and Toyota style vehicles w weird names.. THAT ONE HAS LIGHTS AND Music and there are tons of tourists stuck in the back… Where there aren't cars there are scooters. Watch them as they dart through carrying business women, children and look an entire family. WATCH OUT! There's no stop sign anywhere! You have to be careful. Let's go into 7 eleven and grab some dim sum and watermelon flavored milk to relax.
Could you see all of that. Ladies and gentlemen I introduce you to Bangkok Thailand.
Arriving to the city was like no other I've seen. These were people with someplace to go! They were all bright faced and loud. Laughs rang through the airport and I knew I was in for a great time!
We stayed at A ONE BOUTIQUE HOTEL – near the hospital. It was important to say that for the location. You found this place down a long dark street… We call them alleys. Bangkok was full of them. Alley upon alley of darkness, doggies and people!
After a quick thought about a nap, we dressed and headed out. We learned that we could get a driver for 1500 baht (40 bucks) and he'd stay with us the whole day. By stay we mean drop us off at a touristy trap. The trap then slides him some schmoney for bringing us before he dips away and pick us up when we were ready.
This is where we first experienced the beauty of haggling! The price was 1500 per person and I don't remember what we paid but it was less than that! We hopped into a long canoe type boat with an engine and navigated through canals lined w… huts..
Yes, guys! We were at the famed floating market!
When something caught our eyes the driver would pull up. The people at the huts had poles so when we caught their eyes they'd hook on to us and pull us in!
There were hats and scarves and Gucci bags! Shoes and paintings and more! Fight me here but… I'm pretty sure we could've gotten most if this on the WISH app… Maybe from these same people but this was a way more fun way of acquiring things that we didn't need. We became pretty good at the haggle and more aggressive with our NO's. At one point we even teamed up. A male traveler w us acted as my husbaaaaaand so if they offered me 2500 baht he'd say "you can pay no more than 1000" and he wouldn't budge any higher and you know what… Every time it worked!
There is a small section I called the food court. They had Mango and sticky rice. Let's stop there… THE MANGOS WERE FROM GOD! The insides were dark and the strings were almost nonexistent. The flavor was sweet and texture was smooth. As a Mango connoisseur I can tell you that these were the best I've tasted throughout the world!
We visited a temple with sitting buddah maybe… #FunFact buddah is not just the fat man in the nail shop! He comes in many forms, standing, sitting, laughing etc. and each of them represent a different type of blessing!
Now let's talk about the mall! MBK Mall is one of their larger ones… You say mall.. I say flea market but with everything you wanted! Our first stop was fish pedicures!
Yummy Yummy yummy those fish had foot in the tummy! I can't explain the feeling. You definitely could feel the nibble. Sometimes it overwhelmed you like a tickle. We giggled made some friends from Romania as the fish made the tops of our feet smooth as… They already were! Lol! Still.. You have to do this. And don't feel rushed. These things are everywhere. You WON'T miss out!
We explored the mall and found many cool finds like a personal karaoke mic – machine and a dessert that tasted like smores. Sorry that's the best I got to explain because there were no interpreters! It looked like tacos and cheese and tasted like… Smores!
Also what is the fascination with hot dogs! They call them sausages. You know what didn't go in my mouth.. These hot dog sausages lol! I was able to subside my hunger with a quick stop at Burger King where I got a curry bowl, yup CURRY BOWL! Thailand is pretty delicious!

We offer a competitive compensation and benefit plans to all our qualified employees.
We take pride in providing our team members with a rewarding career.

WASHINGTON (CN) – President Obama has created the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues to advise him on issues in the emerging field of biomedicine and related areas of science and technology.
The executive order was published on Nov. 30, making it official. The commission is to identify and promote policies and practices that ensure scientific research, healthcare delivery and technological innovation are conducted in an ethically responsible manner.
The commission, which will be part of the Department of Health and Human Services, is to examine issues linked to specific technologies, including the creation of stem cells; intellectual property issues involving genetic sequencing, biomarkers, and other screening tests used for risk assessment; and the application of neuroscience- and robotic science to human patients.
Obama also has asked the commission to research broader areas, such as the protection of human research participants, and cooperation between scientists and corporations with regard to scientific integrity and conflicts of interest in research.
The commission is not responsible for the review and approval of specific projects proposed by the HHS or any other government agency. It is authorized to conduct original research, produce commission papers and studies, hold hearings, and develop reports or other materials.


Discussion in 'iOS 7' started by Arron924, Aug 26, 2014.
My sister has her iPhone stolen last night I am just wondering if the thief wipes the phone thinking it will bypass the lost mode but then connects to the wifi before being presented with activation lock will screen will I still be able to locate the phone via iCloud?
If she has Find my iPhone turned on, they won't be able to erase it anyways as it will require them to turn Find my iPhone off. At least, that's as far as I understand.
If that's the case, then no, I don't believe it can be located then. It will still be locked by Activation Lock, so they won't be able to use it, but I don't believe you'll be able to track it any longer.
Mostly you should be if the do with dfu , not sure.. Never tried.. But the phone will be unusable as there is activation lock..
Yes, you will still be able to track the iPhone on iCloud.com. Be sure to place your iPhone in lost mode so you can track it, and it will show you any changes in location on the map. Whatever you do, don't remove your iPhone from your iCloud account, or you won't be able to track it anymore!
Even if they do restore the device, it will still ask for the Apple ID and password that it's activation locked to.

Denis Dutton's Biography(Books)(Photos)
To Pickup Artists And Authors Index
?>>?Denis Dutton is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. He edits the Johns Hopkins University Press journal, Philosophy and Literature and the website Arts And Letters Daily.Denis Dutton is also a co-founder and co-editor of the websites Arts And Letters Daily, ClimateDebateDaily.com and cybereditions.com.
Denis Dutton (born February 9, 1944) is an academic, web entrepreneur and libertarian media commentator/activist.
Dutton is from Los Angeles, California and was educated at the University of California Santa Barbara. He taught at several US universities before emigrating to New Zealand: the University of California, Santa Barbara and the University of Michigan??"Dearborn. As of 2008 he is acting head of the Philosophy school at Canterbury
Dutton is a passionate supporter of public radio. In the early 1990s he founded the lobby group The New Zealand Friends of Public Broadcasting in response to proposals to devolve New Zealand's two non-commercial public radio station.
In 1995 he was appointed to the board of directors of Radio New Zealand, where he served for seven years. After concluding his term as a director, Dr Dutton and Dr John Isles issued a report criticising Radio New Zealand for loss of neutrality in news and current affairs, failure to adhere to charter and opposed to contestable funding of broadcasting.
Dutton used his editorship of the journal Philosophy and Literature to criticise the prose styles of many literary and cultural theorists. In 1995, Bad Writing Contest criticised the prose of Homi K. Bhabha and Fredric Jameson. In 1998, the contest awarded first place to University of California-Berkeley Professor Judith Butler, for a sentence which appeared in the journal diacritics:
The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power.
Dutton said, "To ask what this means is to miss the point. This sentence beats readers into submission and instructs them that they are in the presence of a great and deep mind. Actual communication has nothing to do with it."
Butler challenged the charges of academic pedantry and obscurantism in the pages of the New York Times and the affair briefly became a cause c?(C)l??bre in the world of academic theorists. Dutton then ended the contest.

Country profile Kenya
Number of Dutch companies active: 150
Population: 53 million
Area: 580,367 km² (14 times the size of the Netherlands)
GDP growth: 5.4% (2019)
Head of state: President William Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto
NABC and Kenya
NABC organised a webinar about doing business in Kenya on May 12th, 2020. The recording is available via our YouTube channel.
NABC has had various projects and activities in and with Kenya over the past 10 years. For instance, in March 2014 the 'Trade & Investment Mission to Kenya and Ethiopia' took place. The mission was a joint EU initiative, together with the The Eastern Africa Association (EAA). The focus was primarily on investment in both countries and the main aim was to inform participants about the business opportunities available, and for them to establish and expand their network in the region.
Another mission took place in 2013, under the Dutch Dairy Development Partners Programme. Members of the Eldoret Dairy Farmers Association and farmers linked to Agriterra and SNV joined this trade mission to the Netherlands. There was a specific interest in feed and fodder production and getting to know the Dutch dairy sector. We visited several dairy farms in Friesland and went to the Dairy Training Centre.
In 2017, Kenyan and Ghanaian entrepreneurs attended a large matchmaking session in Zoetermeer. Over 60 businesspeople from the agricultural sector attended the event at the headquarters of FME, the umbrella organization for Dutch companies in the technological sector.
Kenya has a positive investment climate that has made it attractive to international firms seeking a location for regional or pan-African operations. In the World Bank's 2019 Doing Business report, Kenya moved up 19 places, ranking 61 of 190 economies reviewed. In the last three years, it has jumped 47 places on this index. Year-on-year, Kenya continues to improve its regulatory framework and its attractiveness as a destination for foreign direct investment. Kenya has a strong telecommunications infrastructure, a robust financial sector, and extensive aviation connections throughout Africa, Europe and Asia. In 2018, Kenya Airways initiated direct flights to New York City in the United States. Mombasa Port is the gateway for the majority of East African trade and Kenya's membership in the East African Community (EAC), as well as other regional trade blocs, provides growing access to larger regional markets. Meanwhile a new port project, much larger than Mombasa, is being developed near the island of Lamu.
In 2018, Kenya took steps to improve its business environment, including passage of the Tax Laws (amended) Bill (2018) and the Finance Act (2018), establishing new procedures and provisions relating to income taxes, value-added taxes and excise duties. In 2017, Kenya instituted broad business reforms: simplifying registration procedures for small businesses; improving access to credit information; reducing the cost of construction permits; enhancing electricity reliability; easing the payment of taxes through the iTax platform; and establishing a single window system to speed movement of goods across borders.
Kenya's macroeconomic fundamentals remain among the strongest in Africa, with five to six percent GDP growth over the past five years, six to eight percent inflation, improving infrastructure, and strong consumer demand from a growing middle class. President Kenyatta has remained focused on his second term "Big Four" development agenda, seeking to provide universal healthcare coverage; establish national food security; build 500,000 affordable new homes; and increase employment by doubling the manufacturing sector's share of the economy.
The World Bank's annual Kenya Economic Update, released in April 2019, cited some short-term economic risks to Kenya's continued growth such as the interest rate cap inhibiting monetary policy and continuing drought conditions, but noted positive developments including the Government of Kenya (GOK) enhancing agricultural financing programs. At the same time, Kenya's medium-term economic outlook appears strong especially in the agricultural sector. Sectors offering the most opportunities for investors include: agro-processing, financial services, energy, extractives, transportation, infrastructure, retail, restaurants, technology, health care, and mobile banking.
Challenges and opportunities in Kenya
Opportunities lie in the agro/food/horticulture, life/health and sciences, and in ICT and water. Also in climate-adaptation, energy-efficiency and circular economy. Challenges lie in the procurement of work permits, border and tax procedures. Import-regulations are complex. A local agent or representative is a 'must'. More often, government is starting to ask foreign businesses to employ Kenyans.
Kenya and the Netherlands have maintained warm and cordial relations with both countries having resident Ambassador in each other's capital. Over the years the Netherlands extended development assistance to Kenya.
The Netherlands is represented in Kenya by Ambassador Mr. Maarten Brouwer.
More information is available on the embassy's website.
Kenya is represented in The Hague by Ambassador Ms. Margaret Wambui Ngugi Shava.
More information: www.kenyaembassy.nl
Presence of Dutch companies
Around 150 Dutch companies are present in Kenya.

There are a couple of choices available, and there are some significant differences between them. The two choices most commonly seen in plumbing today are PEX tubing and Copper piping. Each has pros and cons, so it all comes down to personal choice. To help in your decision making process, the advantages and drawbacks of each are listed below.
PEX tubing has some major advantages. PEX is often much less expensive then copper tubing, and due to this it is growing in popularity. PEX can easily be used in nearly any plumbing system, and it can be combined with both metal and PVC. Since PEX is highly flexible, it can be installed very quickly and uses less fittings.
PEX tubing cannot be exposed to UV lighting.
Copper Piping is a more expensive plumbing choice and has been around the longest. Copper can be recycled, unlike PEX. Copper can also be used both inside and outdoors.
Copper's expense is one of the big drawbacks, since it can be twice as costly as PEX. Another drawback is that copper plumbing can sometimes give a metallic twang to water. Freezing weather is the enemy of copper piping, because it can freeze and break, so longevity is not always guaranteed.
Both PEX and Copper have some important advantages, so it is best to give careful consideration to each before choosing the right one for your home. Your plumbing is something you will be using for many years, possibly a lifetime, so take your time making your selection.
One of the most frustrating things in the world for homeowners seems like a little thing on the surface. Plumbing problems happen now and then, and when they do it can cause some real headaches. Whether we are talking about a clogged drain in your home or a leaky faucet, these are things that cause your water bill to rise and your blood pressure to skyrocket.
So what should you do when these things happen?
If you are not a plumber, then perhaps you will want to know some plumbing repair tips for your home.
While technicians at White Knight Plumbing can do repairs to any type of existing plumbing system, we use Pex piping and fittings to do most repairs and in all of our new construction projects.
Unlike metal piping pex is immune to corrosion and mineral build-up, also, it uses no glue's, solders or solvents to assemble which keeps potentially dangerous chemicals out of plumbing systems.
Pex plumbing systems retain more heat in hot water lines and resist condensation on cold water lines. It will not burst in freezing conditions like metal piping will, which causes costly repairs. It is not affected by electrolysis which can cause small pin hole leaks in copper piping.
It is quiet and reliable!
Pex piping dampens rushing water noise making a quieter plumbing system so no more pipes that sing, whistle or make clunking noises in the wall or under the floor.
It is proven and guaranteed!
#1 Trickle water from a sink or two to keep water moving in your plumbing system, moving water takes longer to freeze than water that is not moving, this will help keep pipes from freezing.
Dripping faucets are more than annoying…they are also expensive. It is estimated that a faucet that is dripping 30 drips per minute will waste 1041 gallons per year. Even small leaks can waste a significant amounts of water. If your leak is on the hot side of your faucet it is not only a waste of water but also the energy used to heat the water.
Leaks inside the toilet can waste up to 200+ gallons of water a day. Toilet leaks can be detected by adding a few drops of food coloring or a leak detector tablet into the water in the toilet tank. If the colored water appears in the bowl, the toilet is leaking.
Did you know that you can save a lot of money if you switch to a tankless water heater?
A tankless water heater is more energy efficient than most of the conventional water heaters on the market. Read on to learn more specifics as to how tankless water heaters can work more efficiently for you, as well as learn how they can save you a considerable amount of money.
Unlike conventional tank water heaters that have to continually heat up the water stored in its tank, a tankless water heater heats up water as it goes through the unit and only when it is necessary to do so.
Have you ever had to wait for the water to heat up after someone else in the house has taken a hot shower?
This is because the water heater must work to heat up more water so it becomes available again – otherwise, the "hot" water will come out cold.
You may also encounter this if you take a shower too early after doing laundry and dishes the water will become more cool as the hot water runs out.

Our youngest cut her own hair when she was 3 years-old (the only one of our four to ever do that, by the way), because being the youngest can be really hard, you know? Unless you have (and know how to rock) a pair of pink cowgirl boots, of course!
Garth (not his real name) and I have always tried really hard to help our kids cultivate their own sense of style (i.e., point them toward the clearance racks and just get out of their way), however, Hope had fully-grasped her sense of...um...uniqueness at a very young age.
Still, it's hard to be the youngest, feeling like you're constantly following along in someone else's footsteps can be a bit lonely, even in a houseful, sometimes. Our baby girl has gone through many transformations in her 15 years of being...ummmm...Hope.
Her Goth stage was the most...errrrr...interesting...and don't EVEN think about bringing up her shockingly pink hair...because, well, it's just not shocking enough, anymore, DANGIT!
"LORT?!? Why did you EVER let me wear my hair like that?!?"
As if I ever had a choice. Hope has always been a free spirit = she is my hippy-child. Still, it's real difficult for her to NOT allow her free-thinking to feed into all the draaaah-maaaah and, well, YOU COULDN'T PAY ME ENOUGH TO BE FIFTEEN, AGAIN or GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL, am I right?!?!
After 20+ years of parenting, I feel it safe to say that self-esteem issues are best cultivated when you try to look like everyone else. And I may have mentioned this to my kids, once or twenty times, every day, especially to my girls.
Still, behind all the selfies and Snapchat filters, you can't hide the fact that growing up female is complicated enough (why IS this STILL happening?!?), especially when you're a Mom.
On the one hand, we preach self-esteem to our children, and on the other hand, our own confidence eludes us, the moment we see it in someone else. Why IS that?!?
On the OTHER other hand, intellectually, most of us already understand it to be a defense mechanism...LORT!!!...how we women compare ourselves to each other...eh?
"And I am in desperate need of a haircut!"
Hope aspires to be a hair and makeup artist and, well, somehow she doesn't believe that my husband and I think it's a worthy-enough profession, because teenagers tend to put words into their parents' mouths and they really do think the silliest thoughts, sometimes.
And that's why I let my kid cut my hair.
P.S. It's actually "shred" not "cut" and I stand (I mean, sit) corrected, yo!

The 72-year-old man responded by saying "I will do it again!" — then saying to the 70-year-old man, "You're a jerk," police reported.
The 72-year-old then hit the 70-year-old in the right side of his head and caused his hat and glasses to get knocked off, according to the incident report.
Though the 72-year-old had left the Costco by the time police officers arrived, they tracked him down. When an officer reached him on the phone, the 72-year-old admitted he was involved in an altercation at Costco, according to the incident report.
Greenville Police Department Public Affairs Manager Donald Porter told The State that no arrests have been made in the incident.
Police are attempting to get surveillance footage from Costco to help in the investigation, and the responding officer said further investigation was needed because the men's stories are inconsistent and "the witness did not have much to say," per the incident report.
Doors officially open today at the Midlands's first Costco.
Columbia Police are investigating an assault that took place on the Saluda River bank. Three young women were arrested two weeks ago after teaming up for the attack. This video was submitted by the victim.
Cellphone video catches two men in a heated brawl on a night out in Five Points. Some residents point to examples like drunken fights for why Five Points' reputation is on the line.

Munk School professor turns local classroom global
In the wake of COVID-19, the landscape of university education has undergone a dramatic shift. Although studying abroad and international trips might be off for the time being, one group of students at the Munk School is going global with their learning from home. Munk One students and fourth-year undergraduate students at the Universidad Católica de La Plata came together to collaborate in a global classroom led by Professor Teresa Kramarz, director of the Munk One program and co-director of the Munk School's Environmental Governance Lab, and Professor Sebastian Baglioni at the Universidad Católica de La Plata. Together, students joined forces virtually to research the impacts of COVID-19 on Toronto and La Plata.
"The question for me was how to internationalize the domestic classroom," says Kramarz. "The pandemic is a great opportunity to experiment with this kind of global classrooms pedagogy. It's an opportunity for virtual classes and technology to enhance, not detract from, learning."
Virtual field trips, digital labs and global colleagues: U of T students to explore the world this fall
Virtual field trips that take geology students from the Bonnechere Caves to Potholes Provincial Park, Niagara Falls and Halfway Log Dump Bay. Digital labs that allow biomedical engineering students to observe their experiments at a nano-level. And partnerships with students in Mexico that explore the impact of COVID-19 on food security and trust in government.
These are just a few of the ways University of Toronto professors are planning for a fall semester unlike any other. About 90 per cent of undergraduate courses give students the option of studying online and most of these courses will be offered online only.
It's a big – though temporary – shift in the way the university typically operates, but many U of T faculty members already have considerable experience teaching online. In fact, some say there are clear advantages to the medium.

A global approach to sustainable cities engineering
Tokyo is currently the largest city in the world but by 2050 it may drop to seventh place, surpassed by fast-growing cities such as Kinshasa and Lagos. For Murray Metcalfe (MIE) this explosive growth presents both a challenge and an opportunity for engineers.
"We were inspired by a study published by our collaborator Dan Hoornweg, which predicts that by 2100, 13 of the largest 20 cities in the world will be in sub-Saharan Africa," he says. "The challenge is: how do you build enough infrastructure to support cities of this size? The opportunity is: can that infrastructure be sustainable?"
Metcalfe is the project director of the Engineering Education for Sustainable Cities in Africa (EESC-A) project, which began in 2016. The goal of EESC-A is to explore U of T Engineering's role in helping to train future "sustainable cities engineers" who will shape the direction of African megacities of the future.
The project involves both community building and the creation of flexible, adaptable course materials that can be delivered online.
Innovations in teaching: Teresa Kramarz wants to bring the world to the classroom
"I have a thousand ideas," says Teresa Kramarz. "And thanks to this fellowship, I now have the time to pursue one of them."
Kramarz is an assistant professor and director of the Munk One program at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs. The idea she'll be pursuing – thanks to her 2016-17 University of Toronto Teaching Fellowship – is to develop a toolkit that will allow instructors to bring the world into their classrooms by collaborating with classes at other institutions around the world. She's been seconded to U of T's Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation for 50 percent of her time over the coming academic year to turn that idea into reality.

With cyber security threats at an all-time high, it's time to consider a whole of business approach rather than just sticking to it being an 'IT issue'.
Twenty years ago, the main components of cyber security were an anti-virus package and a good backup system. Both were generally seen as 'the IT guy's job', or, in small organisations, the office administrators'.
Fast forward to 2018. The rate and volume of change that the internet has brought about is truly the next level of human evolution. And just as the possibilities created by this online revolution are vast and powerful, so too are the threats.
There is no way cyber security can still be seen as solely an IT issue. It is shocking how many business owners, managers and executive teams have their heads in the sand about this. Cyber threats are proliferating and every Australian business – small, medium or large – is at risk. But so few have an integrated approach or whole of business policy and that is alarming.
Let's take a look at what's happening and why you need to take action. Now.
The internet touches every aspect of our lives. Every workplace and every home. Most individuals have a range of internet-enabled devices. We heavily rely on them, and frankly, can't do much without them. This reality multiplies the threat of a cyber-attack. With ever increasing entry points and methods.
Businesses need an approach that covers all bases, including looking at their whole business framework, policies, standards and training. Employees need to be trained to deal with cyber security and educated about the latest threats.
There is an increasing variety in the types of cyber-attacks. They can come via websites, via email or any open communication point. With the increase in remote workplaces, and the culture of BYOD, organisations are increasingly vulnerable.
The forms of attack keep shifting and evolving. From malware to phishing, social engineering to DDoS attacks, threats exist on multiple fronts. And many can go undetected while serious damage is being done.
191 days is the average length of time it takes for organisations to identify a data breach.
With more data and more devices connected to the network, businesses need to be equipped with the right tools, processes and procedures to mitigate the risk of a potential threat.
So what's actually at risk?
Technology is involved in nearly every aspect of day-to-day business. It's not just the IT systems themselves that are at risk. It's every process touched by them including communications, customer data, banking, purchasing, R&D – the list goes on.
This can include making fraudulent payments, being blackmailed by cyber attackers and the massive losses of time and increased labour that can come in the wake of a breach.
The ACSC Threat Report 2017 found 'losses of over $20 million due to business email compromise.' This was an increase of more than 230% since 2015-16 and the report also suggests the figure is conservative as organisations tend to underreport incidents.
The World Economic Forum Global Risk Report 2018 estimated that the cost of cyber crime to businesses will be about US$8 trillion over the next five years.
This can include identity theft, IP theft or leakage and other information compromise.
A report released by US organisation Equifax in 2017 found that the PII of around 143 million customers had been accessed via a cyber attack (ACSC Threat Report 2017).
This is, in some ways, less tangible and quantifiable. But as it's difficult to track and measure it can have both immediate and long term impacts that are equally difficult to reverse.
How do you win back the trust of customers or employees whose privacy has been breached or who have lost money by being associated with your business?
Events such as the WannaCry ransomware attack of 2017 showed how vulnerable businesses, government and society more broadly really are. WannaCry is estimated to have affected more than 300,000 computers across 150 countries.
In the face of that level of attack it is tempting to revert to the head in sand approach – how can a single business compete with an attack like that?
But better to have some strategy in place than none. Better to know what you are dealing with and take every reasonable step to manage risk. The flip side of reputation damage is reputation surety. Businesses who can demonstrate high levels of cyber security and low rates of incidence will become more attractive to customers and business partners.
The ACSC Threat Report 2017 rates the risk of cyber compromise for Australian organisations as high.
So how do you ensure that you can detect, protect and prevent vulnerabilities? Stay tuned for part 2 of this blog series where we go into detail about HOW you can continuously assess your cyber security and threat landscape.

So I am back in Montreal for a bit and decided to head down to the Atwater market to see what was in season. Most of the stalls were teaming with every type of vegetable and fruit imaginable so when I enquired about what was local the response was a chuckle and "are you kidding? not much!" I did finally discover that fiddlehead ferns, asparagus and strawberries were the flavor of the day.
I decided that since the growing season for fiddleheads is so short and that they are not common in South Africa, I should give them a try. After a bit of research, I decided to create an Italian inspired recipe with roasted tomatoes, garlic and basil.
5. Their name was created because they resemble the carved wood at the end of a fiddle.
8. To wash and prepare, you need to cut off the ends and also rub off the paper thin skin on the outside.
9. They can have a slightly bitter taste so it is best to parboil them prior to using them in a dish.
Soak fiddleheads in a bowl of water. Be sure to do the process a few times over an hour.
Pour in fiddleheads and cook at a rolling boil for 10 mins. You will notice that the water will turn a brackish brown colour. Do not panic!
In an oven proof dish, roast baby tomatoes with salt and 1 tbsp of oil at 350F (180 C) for 20 mins or until slightly browned and bursting.
Once fiddleheads are cooked, remove from water with a slotted spoon and place in an oven-proof dish. Discard water.
Heat up 1 tbsp of oil, cook bacon (if using) and add garlic at end to soften. Add fiddlehead ferns and then tomatoes with juices to pan.
Transfer mixture back into fiddlehead dish, add salt and pepper and warm in oven.
Just before serving, add chiffonade of basil, a squeeze of lemon and some parmesan chards.
