I made the man watch Blue Planet The Deep the other night (my all time FAVORITE) and we kept joking that Tessa looked like the barreleye fish. She kind of really does, but then again, I think Tessa looks like everyone and everything.
How about now? Man, I'd be terrified of seeing this thing if it existed. Poor Tessa. Oh perhaps poor barreleye fish.
Tessa totally spooned me yesterday and yes, she was the big spoon.
Please notice the arm around me. My baby baby.
In the midst of cleaning the apartment, getting ready for the Outer Banks, and inhaling WAY too many cleaning chemicals, my creative juices forced me (yes, forced) to do another stop motion animation (perhaps another half-assed one). This is an ode to love, loneliness, and mutualism: symbiosis that is beneficial to both organisms involved. Perhaps my fail at the first garden plays a role in this creation. And I mean, come on, outdoor plant that cannot grow meets indoor plant, falls in love, and grows -- what's better than that?!?
Okay, off to Outer Banks for a week. Lots of things to come when I get back. Don't miss me too much people.


I'm a 27-year-old professional who works long hours at a hospital. Dating isn't easy for me, so I decided to try an online service. My first time online I recognized a co-worker I see on a regular basis and have always exchanged smiles with, but don't know personally. I wrote him a message just to say hi. I didn't say I was interested in him. I never heard back from him.
Since I sent that message he has checked my profile several times. But when he sees me in the hallways, he turns red and now just gives me half-smiles. I was waiting at the elevator with him the other day, but he was so embarrassed by the silence that I bailed and took the stairs.
Your co-worker may not be particularly adept socially, or he may be reluctant to become involved with someone where he works. Please don't take his not responding to your email so personally. The next time you run into him in the hall, just say hello. If he has any manners at all, he'll return your greeting and it may melt the ice.
1. If at all possible, leave the kids at home. At the very least, don't allow them to run around the office. We have sensitive equipment and paperwork that is not there to keep your kids entertained.
2. This is our busiest time of year. Lines can be long and clients are impatient, so please don't hand us a bag of receipts to add up. Plan ahead and do the addition yourself.
3. Before your appointment, ask what's needed to make the process as efficient as possible. There are many resources online to help you get organized.
4. If you have business expenses and mileage, have that information organized and ready.
5. Be certain you have received all your tax-related paperwork (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) before coming in. Being in a hurry will result in your owing the IRS or the state because the income wasn't completely reported. This small step can avoid many problems.
6. And, please don't be angry if you have been waiting and your preparer needs to step away for a short time. It's not unusual for us to work 10 to 12 hours a day helping customers. Like everyone else we occasionally need a break to take our eyes off the computer screen for a little bit, so be understanding.
I hope readers will pay attention to your suggestions. Tax season is stressful for everyone involved, but particularly for tax preparation professionals. Being courteous, considerate and as organized as possible will relieve some of the strain not only for the person crunching the numbers, but also for the customer.

Football.Bookworm.Cinematic Music. "The greatest contribution from Africans will be to give the world a more human face" Bantu S. Biko,
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf Of Liberia
By Khaya Sibeko on October 1, 2009 African History and Biographies, Biographies, Notable Leaders' Biographies
From: africanhistory.about.com/
Date of birth: 29 October 1938, Monrovia, Liberia.
Ellen Johnson was born in Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, amongst the descendents of original colonists of Liberia (ex-African slaves from America, who promptly on arrival set about enslaving the indigenous people using the social system of their old American masters as a basis for their new society). These descendents are known in Liberia as Americo-Liberians.
Causes of Liberia's Civil Conflict
The social inequalities between indigenous Liberians and the Americo-Liberians has lead to much of the political and social strife in the country, as leadership bounced between dictators representing opposing groups (Samuel Doe replacing William Tolbert, Charles Taylor replacing Samuel Doe). Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf rejects the suggestion that she is one of the elite: "If such a class existed, it has been obliterated over the last few years from intermarriages and social integration."
Gaining an Education
From 1948 to 55 Ellen Johnson studied accounts and economics at the College of West Africa in Monrovia. After marriage at the age of 17 to James Sirleaf, she travelled to America (in 1961) and continued her studies, achieving a degree from the University of Colorado. From 1969 to 71 she read economics at Harvard, gaining a masters degree in public administration. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf then returned to Liberia and began working in William Tolbert's (True Whig Party) government.
A Start in Politics
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf served as Minister of Finance from 1972 to 73, but left after a disagreement over public spending. As the 70s progressed, life under Liberia's one-party state became more polarised – to the benefit of the Americo-Liberian elite. On 12 April 1980 Master Sergeant Samuel Kayon Doe, a member of the indigenous Krahn ethnic group, seized power in a military coup and President William Tolbert was executed along with several members of his cabinet by firing squad.
Life under Samuel Doe
With the People's Redemption Council now in power, Samuel Doe began a purge of government. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf narrowly escaped – choosing exile in Kenya. From 1983 to 85 she served as Director of Citibank in Nairobi, but when Samuel Doe declared himself president of the Republic in 1984 and unbanned political parties, she decided to return. During the 1985 elections Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf campaigned against Doe, and was placed under house arrest.
An Economist's Life in Exile
Sentenced to ten years in prison, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf spent just a short time incarcerated, before being allowed to leave the country once again as an exile. During the 1980s she served as Vice President of both the African Regional Office of Citibank, in Nairobi, and of (HSCB) Equator Bank, in Washington. Back in Liberia civil unrest erupted once more. On 9 September 1990, Samuel Doe was killed by a splinter group from Charles Taylor's National Patriotic Front of Liberia.
A New Regime
From 1992 to 97 Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf worked as Assistant Administrator, and then Director, of the UN Development Program Regional Bureau for Africa (essentially an Assistant Secretary-General of the UN). Meanwhile in Liberia an interim government was put in power, lead by a succession of four un-elected officials (the last of whom, Ruth Sando Perry, was Africa's first female leader). By 1996 the presence of West African peacekeepers created a lull in the civil war, and elections were held.
A First Attempt at the Presidency
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf returned to Liberia in 1997 to contest the election. She came second to Charles Taylor (gaining 10% of the vote compared to his 75%) out of a field of 14 candidates. The election was declared free and fair by international observers. (Johnson-Sirleaf campaigned against Taylor and was charged with treason.) By 1999 civil war had returned to Liberia, and Taylor was accused of interfering with his neighbours, fomenting unrest and rebellion.
A New Hope from Liberia
On 11 August 2003, after much persuasion, Charles Taylor handed power over to his deputy Moses Blah. The new interim government and rebel groups signed an historic peace accord and set about installing a new head of state. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was proposed as a possible candidate, but in the end the diverse groups selected Charles Gyude Bryant, a political neutral. Johnson-Sirleaf served as head of the Governance Reform Commission.
Liberia's 2005 Election
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf played an active role in the transitional government as the country prepared for the 2005 elections, and eventually stood for president against her rival the ex-international footballer, George Manneh Weah. Despite the elections being called fair and orderly, Weah repudiated the result, which gave a majority to Johnson-Sirleaf, and the announcement of Liberia's new president was postponed, pending an investigation. On 23 November 2005, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was declared the winner of the Liberian election and confirmed as the country's next president. Her inauguration, attended by the likes of US First Lady Laura Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, took place on Monday 16 January, 2006.
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, divorced mother of four boys and grandmother to six children is Liberia's first elected female president, as well as the first elected female leader on the continent.

Wynonna Earp, Season 2, Episode 6: Whiskey Lullaby
Time to return to the big bads - the veiled ghostly women who have possessed Mercedes and her sister and got Tucker The Worst to run around and do their bidding in exchange for "a girl"
These are known as "the Widows" and they want to break those seals and unleash evilness.
The problem for them is finding the last seals which aren't where they should be any more since Bobo moved them (one goes into a church and ends up killing a priest looking for it) and they're working to a time line: they've only got so long to find the seals. They also reference their husband (one man) who gives them gifts, Constance the Stone Witch (who Doc killed) and Juan Carlo so ALL THE STORYLINES
Ultimately they need more time. To that end they send Tucker with a gun and a magic-immunity charm to an old man called Hypnose who is being tended by his daughter Poppy
To the main gang!
Wynonna is pregnant as we found out last episode. And Waverley and her are pegging Doc as the father which is a bit of an issue with Dolls coming back and the big romance brewing there. Wynonna and Doc had a great friends-with-benefits-maybe-more thing going on but she and Dolls had the love-you-hate-you-drama-will-they-won't-they which is Tvlandia's ULTIMATE ROMANCE.
Waverley hovers around fluffing and fussing about not drinking caffein and generally threatening to reveal the secret to all and complaining that it's not fair to Doc and Dolls not to tell them to which Wynonna has this line:
"Tough shit. It's my decision who to tell and when and it's my situation and no-one gets to decide how to handle it by me. Stop pushing me and stop judging me."
ALL HAIL WYNONNA
Waverley backs off, acknowledging her issues. SHe has issues with Nicole anyway as Nicole is unsure how much of their relationship was tentacle demon and not - Waverley reinforces them and they have make up sex. And while they don't show sex, this tv series is increasingly not flinching away from Waverley and Nicole's affection
Dolls and Doc catch up with Dolls' ex boss to figure out what has happened to Black Badge- apparently Black badge was never a government agency, doesn't want to spend resources on a fight they can't win, has utterly written off the ghost river triangle and is pulling out. They do give Dolls a picture of one of the Widows so he knows what he's facing
Ok, I don't know how far the writers have followed this through, but this implies that we're not facing a world ending threat or a major country devastating threat or clearly more widespread: if there was then the idea of "not being worth the investment" would be ridiculous.
They return to explain this to everyone and everyone questions what this means. I'm here for Jeremy asking "wait, are we fired, do I get a reference, who pays us" sadly no-one answers this question but it's a point. Who is paying the bills? Money and livelihood matter guys!
Wynonna shuts down speculation with "hey I have a gun and kill monsters, so let's do this!"
So world building addressed, we have a Widow kill a priest and a blood stained nun come to the police station to say
"My boss was killed"
To which Wynonna replies without missing a beat:
"God really is dead".
If you didn't laugh you're… probably a better person than me.
Anyway this leads the gang to realise that the seal is on consecrated ground so Jeremy does the research thing. While he does that Wynonna goes to a coffee shop with Dolls on a sortadate and Dolls is clearly trying to take their relationship to the next level and she's all awkward because of the pregnancy
And then everyone faints and falls asleep. Originally I thought it was Wynonna and the pregnancy, but when the Peacemaker wakes her up it turns out it's everyone. She wakes up Dolls and they head to wake up Waverley and Nicole, all downing energy drinks to try and fight the supernatural sleep and using illegal pharmaceuticals (which is AWKWARD for Wynonna because pregnancy)
They've als been pregnant for some time because Wynonna is now visibly showing an advanced pregnancy. Brainstorming they decide to leave everyone asleep so they can search the town and see what is behind it - since it must take a lot of energy. Waverley goes to the inn to wake Doc (naked in bed with Rosita: she says she's too young for him. He points out he's older than the state of Colorado - everyone's too young for him. Point).
At team, evil the Widows are still threatening Poppy to make Hypnose co-operate (so they can search the town uninterfered with) but he doesn't have much left in him and he can't put the heir to sleep because she's too powerful. Seems the Widows have done no research on the heir - oopsie. He advises they run. Of course they don't
They do attack Wynonna and steal Jeremy's book to find where the second seal is - under the bar.
Wynonna isn't hurt but Dolls does find out she's pregnant -he tries an initial "wrap in bubble-wrap" tactic which she isn't having. She's pregnant but still demon killer
She and Dolls go to Hypnose (who Dolls realises is a sandman) and recognise his woo-woo - he tells them he's working under duress, the Widows have his daughter - also that there are three seals total so destroying one won't do a lot. He demands they save Poppy and if they kill him everyone currently asleep will die. Thankfully for them Nicole has been illegally tracking Tucker's phone because he's the creepiest person ever and they catch him trying to make Poppy dress up like Waverley so he can molest her. This guy literally cannot get creepier. When he holds Poppy at kniftpoint Nicole shoots him and he jumps out a window rather than face the Widows. Bye Tucker, you will not be missed
At the bar, Jeremy, Doc and Waverley face the Widows coming for the seal… and fail kind of badly. For a second it looks like Jeremy is going to achieve something but, nope, not happening, the widows go to town on the seal - I'm not sure if they succeed.
Wynonna, after sharing a passionate kiss with Dolls, arrives and saves the day, wounding one of the Widows. And revealing to Doc she's pregnant
At which point everyone wakes up - and no time has moved. Apparently Hypnose puts people in a dreamscape but no time passes - except for Wynonna because she has a woo-woo baby
Wynonna is willing to let Hypnose live as he acted under duress - but Dolls screams at her to kill him because he's a powerful demon and can be used against them. She does - and they have more of a screaming match. Tellingly Dolls says "I'm being the boss" basically because there's a barrier to them having a relationship (apparently) he decides to pout and be hard-arse dictatorial boss instead.
This is not going to be fun
What is fun is Waverley ensuring both Dolls and Doc give Wynonna space to make her own decisions and deal with this on her own without input she doesn't want
Wynonna is just feeling cursed - she uses 2 kinds of birth control yet still got pregnant. She puts this down to the Earp curse, forcing her again to be something she doesn't want to be
I also note that the time shifting episode has likely circumvented any possibility of an abortion storyline which is typical of convenient TVlandia - they will do ANYTHING to avoid an awkward abortion storyline
To the Widows - Mercedes is injured, Tucker is gone and someone delivers the Bone Witch's head to their door. It isn't looking great for them.

This article by the Washington Post identifies that payday lenders charge up to 400% interest. On top of that, most borrowers come back pay period after pay period.
Nearly 59 million loans totaling more than $20 billion fit this pattern, accounting for three-quarters of all payday loan volume, the study found. The loans resulted in $3.5 billion worth of fees each year.
So out of $20 billion in paychecks for these repeat borrowers, $3.5 billion goes to fees. That's 17.5% out of all money borrowed. Consider that this is after taxes and this is just lost money to people that likely have little disposable income to begin with.
A key to fixing this problem is to educate payday loan patrons about managing finances and banking in general. Last summer, Alexandria agreed not to raise the tax on Payday lenders in exchange for a voluntary $20K donation (see pg 8-9 of this pdf) towards financial education. Based on the linked document, $7,500 should have gone towards education initially with $10,000 due to the city over the following year for additional programs, pending the city coming up with an educational program and working with LoanMax. The additional $2,500 was to go to a 501(c)(3) organization of the city's choosing by December 31, 2008.
Here's the only city planned financial educational event that I could find, and it was back in January. Contact the Mayor and City Council to make sure the city is planning future financial education programs and not just letting these funds rot on the vine.

Q: Customizing angularjs bootstrap calendar I am using angular bootstrap calendar for my application.I am getting events from database and displaying on calendar.Now after clicking on any cell it opens a popup modal for adding events.But what i am trying to do is i have placed a glyphicon "+" for every cell.After clicking on "+" i want to call modal popup for adding events.Now after clicking on cell the modal is displayed.
Here is my html
    <mwl-calendar
    events="events"
    view="calendarView"
    current-day="viewDate"
    view-title="calendarTitle"
    custom-template-urls="{calendarMonthCell: 'customMonthCell.html'}"
    ng-model="eventSources"
    cell-is-open="cellIsOpen"
    day-view-start="06:00"
    day-view-end="22:59"
    day-view-split="30"
    cell-modifier="modifyCell(calendarCell)"
    cell-auto-open-disabled="true"
    on-timespan-click="timespanClicked(calendarDate)">
    </mwl-calendar>

Here is the css where i am adding "+" for every cell.
angular-bootstrap-calendar.css
    .cal-cell:hover:before{
    font-family: FontAwesome;
    display: inline-block;
    padding-right: 6px;
    vertical-align: middle;
    content: "\f055";
    float:right;

}
Here is the controller.js
    $scope.timespanClicked = function(notifyDate) {
    $scope.notifyDate = notifyDate;
    UserProfileService.getAllUsers().then(function(response2){
        $scope.users = response2.data;
    });
    $(".addnotify").modal("show");
    };

As you can see on date 17th there is a small + icon at right top.After clicking the + i need to display the modal popup.I have used hover.Therefore after hovering on particular cell + appears.

Q: Missing secret key base for production environment My situation is very much like SemiFixed: Missing `secret_key_base` for 'production' environment :
my config/secrets.yml
production:
  secret_key_base: <%= ENV["SECRET_KEY_BASE"] %>

I have added an entry in /etc/environment so that when I log in and type
echo $SECRET_KEY_BASE

I get the long string I created with rake secret.  But still I get 500 error for Missing secret_key_base for 'production' environment, set this value in config/secrets.yml, even after I reset the entire computer.  So what else can go wrong?

A: Found out that /etc/environment is ignored by apache2.  Add the following to /etc/apache2/envvars solved my problem:
export SECRET_KEY_BASE=<the long string>

The importance of scientific and technological innovation for meeting many sustainable development challenges and for accelerating human progress is widely noted throughout the 2030 Agenda. CEB and its subsidiary machinery have been monitoring a selection of "frontier issues" to ensure the that United Nations system is positioned to provide timely and informed support and advice to Member States in today's quickly evolving technological context. Notably, a June 2017 survey provided insight into the nature and scale of some of the more progressive activities UN organizations are pursuing to both help manage the opportunities and risks of emerging technologies and direct them towards mandate delivery and more broadly to the achievement of the SDGs.
Rising inequalities across the world have become one of the defining challenges of our time, putting sustainable development at risk, stirring social unrest, undermining social process, threatening economic and political stability, and undercutting human rights. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development - in large part an agenda for equality – seeks to counter this force.

Ta Nehisi Coates is an American author of historical fiction books best known for his standalone debut novel, The Water Dancer. He's also the author of the number-one New York Times bestselling book Between the World and Me that was also a finalist for the National Magazine Award. Additionally, he has won the Hillman Prize for Analysis Journalism, National Magazine Award and George Polk Award for his story The Case of Reparations. He lives in New York with his family- wife, and son.
The Water Dancer
From its beautifully crafted cover art to its intricate yet simple plot steeped in tragedy, Coates's book feels like a relinquishing of life and soul as the pages are infused with the breath of its creator with words dancing to form the human shape of those who paid the ultimate price. The Water Dancer is one of the most influential books you'll ever read about slavery.
The author nails down the tribulations of slavery when he concentrates on the emotions of Hiram Walker, a girl who is separated from his mother Rose when she is sold to slavery. Hiram is only nine years old. Then Coates shifts his focus on an older woman known as Thena, whose five of her kids are sent Natchez away; she transforms into the meanest and hard to crack shell of a woman until one day when the gaze breaks that shell of boy who has no mother. How much can your body take?
Hiram's Caucasian father is the Howell is the master of the plantation called Lockless. When riding through the Street, his son calls attention to himself by imitating his elders in response song and a call. Howell flips him a coin, and Hiram thinks that the coin is a way out from slave life. But it's not long before Hiram is called to the big house to take lessons alongside his brother, Maynard, and serve as Maynard's protector. It's quite a task because Maynard is slow, dull and has been spoiled by superficial living while Hiram is smart. Hiram thinks that his white father is ashamed to have such intelligence show up in his black son while his white son struggles with schoolwork and everyday life.
Hiram has several gifts. The first is the gift of memorization. He can recreate a drawing from his memory or tell a whole story word by word. He can tell each card from a deck of cards and even remember all the symbols in a carved box of disc. His other gift is where Coates introduces the element of magical realism. During the entire story, Hiram will learn how to bring this gift forward and how to utilize it. When the author writes about Hiram's gifts, he's able to evoke a storm of emotions in the main character.
Most power structures incorporate violence as a means to bring balance. The powerless person learns how to use a gun, grows muscles, or enlists the service of a Mob. In an interview published online, Ta-Nehisi Coates says that he wanted to write something different and attributes part of his work to Isabel Wilkerson's novel The Warmth of the Other Suns, which much helped him understand the positive side of resistance. Therefore, Coates uses mythology and writes something bigger than violence, something that surpasses violence. But it's vital always to remember that we can never forget the tragedies and sufferings that have already been inflicted so that they are never repeated.
We need books like Water Dancer because humans tend to forget too soon. One of the most significant impacts of this novel was how it gave a glimpse of how the white masters operated the plantation system. How they degenerated the soil until nothing would grow and how they undermined themselves. When the plantations could no longer sustain them, they began to sell their slaves and migrated westward, looking for new land and people rob.
Hats off to Ta-Nehisi Coates for creating a cast of complex characters, from Thena the meanest woman to Sophia the subject to Nathaniel Walker, who becomes Hiram's love interest but makes it clear from the start that she belongs to no man. Coates writes as though he knows everything about the emotional life of both men and women and through this he's woven one of the best books about slavery.

AltaGas Plans Canadian IPO in Shift to U.S. After WGL Deal
Kevin Orland
Sep 13 2018, 7:00 PM Sep 14 2018, 3:15 PM September 13 2018, 7:00 PM September 14 2018, 3:15 PM
(Bloomberg) -- AltaGas Ltd. is intensifying its shift toward the U.S., following up its $4.6 billion takeover of Washington utility WGL Holdings Inc. with a plan to spin off its Canadian assets through an initial public offering.
The IPO and a debt repayment from the new company would deliver C$1 billion ($770 million) in cash proceeds to AltaGas, which plans to use the money to repay a loan it took on to fund the WGL acquisition, according to a statement Thursday. The transaction would leave AltaGas focused on natural gas and U.S. utilities, while AltaGas Canada Inc. would own Canadian gas distribution and wind power assets.
Canadian utilities have taken aim south of the border in recent years, with AltaGas, Hydro One Ltd. and Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. striking deals for U.S. assets to spur growth. AltaGas plans to hold about 37 percent to 45 percent of AltaGas Canada following the IPO.
The planned offering follows AltaGas's sale of some midstream and power assets announced earlier this week, and the sale of a 35 percent interest in the Northwest Hydro Facilities in British Columbia.
Combined, the moves are expected to raise about C$2.5 billion, resulting in "significant repayment" of a bridge facility used to finance the WGL acquisition.
The IPO, which is expected to close in late October or early November, is being jointly led by RBC Capital Markets LLC, TD Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Canada.
AltaGas sank 3.9 percent to C$23.48 at the close in Toronto, where it also plans to list shares of the Canadian unit. The stock has declined 18 percent this year.

APRICOT DULY LAUNCHES INTO THE MULTIMEDIA MARKET FOR CHRISTMAS
As anticipated, Apricot Computers Ltd, the personal computer business of Mitsubishi Electric Corp, has launched its assualt on the home consumer market with a range of 37 models, which also includes machines aimed at the corporate and small business markets (CI No 2,723). The home consumer range, called the MS series, will be on sale in Dixons Plc's 300 high street stores by November 1, the company promised. All the ranges will be launched in the UK initially by November, and in other European markets at the start of next year. There are no plans to launch them in the US or Japan, said Chris Buckham, Apricot's marketing director. Birmingham-based Apricot is an unusual beast. Although it is owned by Mitsubishi, all its desktop machines are manufactured in Glenrothes, Scotland, and the Japanese parent maintains the Western-style name in its domestic market. Managing director Peter Horne claimed the company had the largest research and development department of any UK computer company. However, Buckham insisted that Apricot was also a fully-fledged marketing company. The MS540 range starts with a 75MHz Pentium model with 8Mb RAM and a 840Mb hard disk for ú1,400 rising to a 133MHz Pentium with 16Mb RAM, and a 1.2Gb hard disk for ú2,300. All the MS machines are Pentium-based and all come with a Sony Corp quad-speed CD-ROM drive, a Creative Technology Ltd SoundBlaster board and 20 Watt external speakers as standard. They also come with Microsoft Corp's Windows95, Novell Inc's WordPerfect HomeWorks, IBM Corp's Lotus Organiser and a range of games and education software pre-installed. Dixon's employees will be on incentives to sell Apricot, IBM and Compaq Computer Corp machines above its other brands. The LS550 series is Apricot's pitch for the corporate market, with a more sober box design and without the multimedia add-ons, starting with a 75MHz Pentium model with 8Mb RAM, 640Mb disk and 100Mbps Ethernet board from 3Com Corp for ú1,420. Apricot's existing XEN-PC and LS Pro desktop ranges are intended to fit into the LS series. For what Apricot dubs the cost-conscious business customer it is offering the VS550 desktop and VS660 mini-tower ranges. The VS550 starts at ú1,350 and the VS660 ú1,399 with very similar specifications as the LS550s. Both the LS and VS machines come with Windows95. The business machines will still be sold through Apricot's usual channels, rather than Dixons.

Posted in incredibly strange, instrumental, pop, reissue, review, vinyl By Bill Kopp On June 26, 2017
Album Review: Jean Jacques Perrey — Moog Indigo
Perhaps Jean Jacques Perrey shouldn't be thought of in the same context as Jean-Michel Jarre, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and other early pioneers of the synthesizer-as-musical-instrument. His work wasn't as edgy and experimental as that of those other guys. But here's the thing: a half-century on, spinning a Perrey album is far more likely to bring a smile to the listener's lips than most anything by those other, more "serious" artists.
On one level, Moog Indigo is a demonstration record. It's a document of just what can be done with Moog analog synthesizers in 1970. But it's also a collection of impossibly catchy tunes, delivered in the most playful manner imaginable. Perrey was no dour experimentalist; he made records that were fun, full stop.
The sound textures brought forth on Moog Indigo are so dated, so frozen-in-time, that it's difficult to listen without chuckling. Wah-wah guitars about. Churchy organ lines find their way into pop tunes. Bloops and bleeps of every imaginable texture flit in and out of the mix.
Most of the dozen tracks on Moog Indigo – now lovingly reissued on 180-gram vinyl in an extra-sturdy reproduction sleeve – are originals composed specifically for the record. Perrey himself had a hand in composing about half of them. Gilbert Sigrist's "The Rose and the Cross" is one of the few "serious" tunes on the set, so it feels a bit out of context. Yet it's still lovely. "Cat in the Night" sounds very much like Emerson, Lake and Palmer in a particularly goofy moment; the lead synth sweeps have a distinctly Emersonian texture to them.
"Flight of the Bumblebee" has a synthesizer tone that – while inevitably annoying – exquisitely suits the song. It's pretty clear that Perrey and his unnamed musical associates took these sessions very seriously, but also manage to have a lot of fun in the process. Listeners open to this kind of thing should appreciate their efforts. "Gossipo Perpetuo" is the strangest cut on the disc; it sounds uncannily like someone's playing sampled male and female voices. But such technology simply didn't exist in 1970, so it's up to the listener to sort out what might be happening. In any case, it's delightfully weird.
If you've ever seen the old comedy/variety television show Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, then you might recall those bits in which the entire cast was dancing to some way-out instrumental music, punctuated every few seconds by some freeze-frame and comedic one-liners. Well, leave the jokes out and keep the dancing going, and Moog Indigo would make a perfect soundtrack. Try it for your next party, too.

Big news from conditioning work-outs!!!!
Well, the Terriers had thier first winter work-outs in preparation for the 2006 season, and my sources tell me Kevious Johnson showed up and worked out. It's great for the program, and for Kevious, as he gets a second chance at being a Terrier.
Even the thought that this may be true has vastly improved what has been a boring and unproductive day. It would be great to see KJ back in uniform next fall and even better to see him overcome his troubles and succeed academically. If true, congrats to KJ for taking responsibility and congrats to Wofford's coaching staff for hanging with him.
Hey there TerrierTIme- let us know if there is anything exciting going on in camp. running running and lifting a given. Is everyone back and ready to work? Have all the SocCon teams started working out?
The Terriers are so focused o 06 even the radio crew is running 3 miles a day.
That's great that KJ is back...He should help, but I think Michael Hobbs is going to run things this coming year. He's just as great as Kevious was.
Will they move Kevious back to half back? I see Thunder and Lighting in Gibbs Stadium!

Multi-JUNO Award and Polaris Music Prize winner Feist is set to take the stage to perform a moving arrangement of one of Cohen's classic songs honouring the esteemed late musician. Co-hosted by iconic rocker Bryan Adams and megastar comedian Russell Peters, Canada's most exciting night in music airs live in 4K from the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa on CTV and CTV GO on Sunday, April 2 at 6:30 p.m. ET (visit CTV.ca to confirm local broadcast times).

With a musical career that spanned nearly five decades, Cohen has been hailed by critics and fellow musicians alike as one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century. A poet in his early career, the native Montréaler released his first of 14 studio albums, Songs of Leonard Cohen, in 1967 at the age of 33. His signature gravelly baritone, married with the succinctness of his sage, bohemian language, quickly identified him as a master lyricist. Widely admired, his new and old masterpieces include timeless and enigmatic hits such as "Suzanne", "Bird on a Wire", "Everybody Knows", "First We Take Manhattan", "Closing Time", and "Hallelujah". More than 2,000 recordings of Leonard Cohen's songs have been made by artists that range from Elton John, U2, Jeff Buckley, to Aretha Franklin. And from Bob Dylan to Justin Timberlake, more than 200 artists have sung or recorded the now iconic "Hallelujah" since Cohen's original recording in 1984, including breathtaking performances by k.d. lang at THE 2005 JUNO AWARDS in Winnipeg, and the Opening Ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Games. A Companion of the Order of Canada, Cohen was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, the U.S. Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Folk Music Walk of Fame. In addition to his six JUNO Awards, and numerous other honours across his prolific career, Cohen was also awarded the Glenn Gould Prize, the Principe de Asturias Prize, a PEN New England/Lyrics Award, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award at The Grammys. His final studio album, You Want It Darker, was released in October, before his death the following month. With more than 27 million albums sold worldwide and 12 published books, Cohen's stunning body of original work remains an inspirational legacy to generations of artists and fans around the world. Performers taking the stage at THE 2017 JUNO AWARDS on CTV include Arkells, A Tribe Called Red, Alessia Cara, Billy Talent, Dallas Smith, July Talk, Ruth B, Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Mendes, and The Strumbellas.

Colombia: Arcesio Bermúdez, The Man Killed by a UFO
Source: Planeta UFO and Radio Blu (Colombia)
Arcesio Bermudez was a 54-year-old Colombian who apparently succumbed to the powers of the mysterious UFOs, creatures whose existence is unknown, but who are nonetheless real, according to experts.
Ufologist William Chavez claims that the event took place on the evening of July 4, 1969 in the town of Anolaima, municipality of Cundinamarca, when Arcesio's family climbed a hill to do some star gazing, and managed to see a small light that increased its size substantially.
"Mister Arcesio went out to see what was going on. He stared at it and decided to point his flashlight at the unknown entity at that moment," says the specialist.
Chavez claims that the peasant received a magnetic blast, causing him to feel sick hours later, developing signs of hypothermia shortly after. He was sent to a clinic in Bogotá.
After being hospitalized for several days, experiencing intense fever, the Colombian died under circumstances that medical experts could not explain.
The national police and the army conducted an investigation into the death of the man who seemingly came into contact with an unidentified flying object. However, the authorities were never able to clarify the events.

Addendum by Scott Corrales:
This small piece of information by Colombia's Radio Blu does not mention the fact that the case received considerable attention at the time, and not just within Colombian borders. An issue of the TIEMPO newspaper dated 18 July 1969 shows members of the APRO research organization, under the direction of Jim and Coral Lorenzen, along with local authorities and eyewitnesses. The text reads: "They do exist because I saw them," replied Marina Isabel Franco, a young witness to the phenomenon. Scientific evidence corroborates that the strange object was indeed seen by many people. There is interest in this exclusive by EL TIEMPO."
The photo caption adds: At the Tocarema Hacienda un Anolaima, where on the evening of 4 July, more than twelve people saw a strange luminous object identified as a "UFO". Members of the scientific delegation of APRO, reporters for EL TIEMPO, some eyewitnesses to the event and their relatives, inspect the site up to which Arcesio Bermudez ran with a flashlight, trying to see the vehicle as close as possible. It flew quickly over the trees, and it has not yet been possible to determine whether it touched the ground, since there are no visible signs that suggest this. The only person who followed it to that site, Mr. Bermudez, died days later. (Photo credit: Alfonso Angel, for EL TIEMPO)."
More details emerged about Mr. Bermudez's sudden illness after his alleged CE-3. Feeling ill within hours of the event, his malady extended for three days until a relative came to collect him and take him to Bogotá for treatment by car. According to his family, Bermúdez was cold to the touch, and that he leaned against his sister's side in the vehicle. Creepier still is the detail that the side of the sister's body "remained cold until the day she died." Bermudez's preternatural chill was such that the nurses at the Bogotá health center were unable to draw blood samples, as his vital fluid had "crystallized"."
Arcesio Bermudez was treated by César Emerald, Secretary of Health in Bogotá at the time. This distinguished physician would recall that his patient was in a state of hypothermia, with no temperature readings. Dr. Emerald was never able to ascertain the root cause of this chill.
The group of APRO investigators seemed to think that Bermudez had died from a massive dose of gamma rays, and requested that the hapless man's cadaver be exhumed - something the family refused to do. Years later, when the remains were about to be transferred, the Bermúdez family discovered to their horror that the body had been spirited away by unknown hands.
A more detailed medical report can be found in the 17 July issue of the "El Espectador" newspaper. Dr. Emerald is quoted as saying: "The patient was very ill. He presented a cardiac condition, third-degree dehydration brought about by vomiting and diarrhea, and it was impossible for me to control his sickness. Nothing could be done for him. It struck me that the patient should be hypothermic, that is to say, that he should have no temperature whatsoever. All I can tell you is that according to his sickness, the patient should've had a temperature reading, but in fact did not have one. I am speaking from a medical standpoint; therefore I cannot associate his death with the presence of the object [UFO] you are telling me about."

CAF approves Usd 94.8 million for San Jose Hydroelectric Power Plant Project
The project will boost Bolivian electricity supply and will ensure the stability and reliability of the national electricity system.
The hydroelectric plant will support the country's National Interconnected System 2011-2021 Optimal Expansion Plan by complementing generation capacity at the existing Corani-Santa Isabel power complex.
(Jan. 10, 2014)CAF-development bank of Latin America-and the Ministry of Planning and Development of the Plurinational State of Bolivia signed an accord opening up USD94.8 million in CAF-arranged financing to develop the San Jose hydroelectric power generator in the Cochabamba Department. CAF's representative director in Bolivia, Emilio Uquillas, and Planning and Development Minister, Viviana Caro, signed the agreement.
The project aims to add 123.5 MW in generating capacity to the National Interconnected System (SIN) via the installation of two hydroelectric power producers (San Jose I and San Jose II at 54.9 MW and 68.6 MW, respectively), with the goal to ensure normal electricity supply in the country.
The country's National Interconnected System 2011-2021 Optimal Expansion Plan deems the San Jose hydroelectric project as the most beneficial to the country's wellbeing by making good use of waters flowing through existing plants at Corani and Santa Isabel.
The total cost of the project, scheduled for a 2016 startup, comes to USD244.83 million, of which CAF financing will represent 38.7 percent. Bolivian counterparties will finance the remaining amount.
San Jose will increase the country's power reserves and will improve the stability and reliability of the national grid. The project will also save the country 7.8 billion of cubic feet of gas by replacing thermal generation with hydroelectric production, thus increasing capacity for natural gas exports and generatinge over USD52 million a year in fresh revenues based on 2011 prices.
The project will also help diversify the Bolivian energy grid by increasing the use of renewable energy supply and will hike capacity to provide sound electricity coverage at the national level by increasing SIN energy reserves.
San Jose will account for roughly 9 percent of the country's current generating capacity and 25 percent of Bolivia's hydroelectric power production, making the broader Corani-Santa Isabel-San Jose power complex the largest in Bolivia once the expansion is complete, accounting for 20 percent of the country's current generating capacity.

Nashuan accused of sexual assault
Dean Shalhoup

Nashua police photo Jason Warren, 18, of 26A Cedar St., Nashua
NASHUA – An 18-year-old Nashua man scheduled to begin his senior year of high school next week is instead in jail on $10,000 cash or surety bail, the result of allegations that he attempted to sexually assault a young teen during a sleepover at her home.
Jason Warren, of 26A Cedar St., faces one count of attempted aggravated felonious sexual assault, on which he was arrested Saturday night following a several-hour police investigation into a report by a relative of the 13-year-old alleged victim, according to police and court documents.
Warren, during his arraignment and bail hearing Monday in Hillsborough County Superior Court-South, entered a not guilty plea to the charge. Through his attorney, public defender Sarah Amorin, Warren asked Judge Jacalyn Colburn to modify his original $50,000 cash bail to personal recognizance.
Colburn, after hearing from Amorin and First Assistant County Attorney Kent Smith, modified Warren's bail to $10,000 cash or surety. He is next due in court at 9 a.m. Oct. 31 for a dispositional conference.
Amorin on Monday cited Warren's lack of an adult criminal record or, to her knowledge, any pending juvenile matters, in asking for PR bail.
"It's the first time he's been in jail … he spent the weekend there," she said. "It's an experience he never wants to repeat," she said.
If granted personal recognizance bail, Warren would continue to live with his father, would agree to a nightly curfew and would agree to have no unsupervised contact with anyone under 18, Amorin told Colburn.
Smith, however, argued that Warren's bail should remain the same, in part given the "troubling" nature of the alleged crime.
Also, "crimes of this nature very rarely have a witness," Smith told Colburn. "But this one has a witness, who corroborates the (alleged) victim's account."
Meanwhile, the relative, who is the alleged victim's legal guardian, reported the allegations to police shortly after noon Saturday, police said in their reports.
She told detectives that the girl's mother, at whose Nashua home the sleepover took place, said when she walked into the living room to check on the four sleeping teens, she allegedly saw Warren kneeling next to the couch on which the alleged victim was sleeping.
The mother, who said she noticed the girl's underwear and shorts had been pulled down, said she yelled at Warren, describing him as "frantic." He immediately covered himself with a blanket, she told police, according to the reports.
The girl, meanwhile, told police she awoke to her mother "screaming at Jason to get away" from her. She then noticed her pants and shorts were pulled down, but told police she didn't know if Warren pulled them down because she was asleep at the time.

BBNaija 2019: Again, Gedoni And Khafi Share Passionate Kiss (Video)
Army Colonel Faces Dismissal, 7 Years In Jail Over Fraud
by niyi
For swindling Bayelsa State Government of N150 million by impersonating his boss, late Gen. Andrew Azazi, the aide de camp (ADC) to the late National Security Adviser, who is a serving colonel in the Nigerian Army, Lt-Col Robert Ahangba, faces a possible loss of his commission, dismissal from the service and could spend the next seven years in jail if the Nigerian Army sanctions the guilty sentence passed on him earlier in the week by a court martial.
Ahangba had allegedly obtained the said money fraudulently from the Bayelsa State Government under the guise that he was sent by the former NSA whom he said needed the money for some community projects and also to help the government swing votes for the former Bayelsa State Governor, Timipre Sylva during the 2011 gubernatorial elections.
The General Court Martial (GCM) of the Nigerian Army, on Tuesday, August 6, 2013, however, found Ahangba with service number N9827, guilty and sentenced him to seven years imprisonment but subject to confirmation by the Nigerian Army headquarters.
The officer who was initially charged on a four-count-charge including conduct of prejudice of service duty, obtaining money under false pretence, disobedience to standing order and conduct of prejudice to service discipline, was sentenced by the court martial on two count charges including obtaining under false pretences and and conduct of prejudice to service discipline after the court concluded sitting at the Nigerian Army Auditorium, Victoria Island, Lagos.
President of the GCM, Brigadier-General Edward Nze and the Judge Advocate, Captain Chukwudi Okonkwo, at the end of he 10-hour sitting, said that the officer serving the sentence automatically means he is dismissed from service.
According to the president, the officer's dismissal was in line with the Armed Forces Act which stipulates that ex-convicts don't serve in the armed forces.
The court also ruled that the accused should return the N142,345,654 he fraudulently obtained for some phony community projects in accordance with sub-section 2 of section 174 of the Armed Forces Act and laws of the Federation of Nigeria.
The court directed the military police in conjunction with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to track the entire sum and return it to the Bayelsa State Government.
"This court after thorough evaluation of evidence before it, the service record of the convict and alocutus of the defence also considered the grave effect of the serving officer which is an act of indiscipline in the NA and came to the certain conclusions.
"But the court frowns afresh at the convict's conduct as the serving officer had the golden opportunity to work with one of the finest generals this country has ever had but instead of taking the advantage he decided to embrace the disgraceful get-rich-quick syndrome.
"Worse still, he had abandoned his earlier line of defence because during investigation, he was painting the general black after his death. The court therefore sentences the convict to seven years imprisonment for obtaining money under false pretence subject to confirmation from superior authorities," the GCM president said.

Machine Vision Looks to 2017 as Transition Year
by Winn Hardin, Contributing Editor - AIA Posted 01/19/2017
Coming off of a tough year in 2016, machine vision insiders are looking to 2017 with high hopes — and a pinch of trepidation — as several key industries enter what many call transition phases.
In the first three months of 2016, sales of machine vision systems and components fell 11% year-over-year. By Q3, sales had rebounded by 7%, reducing overall contraction to 3%. With projected overall sales of $2.3 billion in 2016, the market is expected to contract by 1% — still a 10% improvement over the start of the year.
Alex Shikany, AIA's Director of Market Analysis, says the downturn in the first half of 2016 was mostly cyclical, influenced by tightening capex budgets, a soft global semiconductor market, and a slower manufacturing industry.
Some suppliers, however, reported weak performance throughout the entire year. "We heard from many people that had a lot of variability month to month, and a lot of bad months," says John Merva, Vice President, North America at Gardasoft LLC (Weare, New Hampshire). "That will bleed into the first-quarter, but we expect things will start to improve through the year. Everything happens slow in this market, but we will see growth in general."
While 2017 is the "Year of the Rooster" according to the Chinese calendar, the machine vision industry might view it as the year of the transition. For example, semiconductor is transitioning from traditional processors and memory 18-month cycles to a new focus on embedded, low-power processing elements that could "flatten" some of the semiconductor industry's wild cycles. Automotive is shifting to autonomous, while machine vision migrates from the plant floor to nonmanufacturing markets such as security and transportation.
Association Membership Climbs
By many accounts, the transitional nature of machine vision in the new year indicates a positive outlook. One sign of the industry's optimism for 2017 is record-setting membership for the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the umbrella group for AIA, Robotic Industries Association (RIA), and Motion Control & Motor Association (MCMA). More than 1,000 global automation companies are members of the three associations. As of December 31, AIA had 356 members.
"It shows the value of trade associations during a period when more and more companies are looking to automate," says Jeff Burnstein, President of A3. "The supplier community realizes they can connect with users and potential users by being part of the association, participating in key activities, and establishing their web presence at Vision Online, Robotics Online, or Motion Control Online."
A3 also has noticed big demand for its webinar series on how to successfully apply vision, robotics, or motion control. "Attendance has been great because of the need for education," Burnstein says. "It's the same thing for events. Conference attendance has been growing because many companies are just starting to automate."
The New United States President: Good or Bad for Industry?
Even with a generally upbeat mood going into 2017, some vision companies say that with a new presidential administration in the U.S. comes questions about its impact on industry. "We don't know what to expect, but one thing we know about the market is that extended uncertainty can create volatility/bearishness," says Greg Hollows, Director of Machine Vision Solutions at Edmund Optics (Barrington, New Jersey). "You can see this going to into any presidential election."
"We need to wait three to six months to see what Donald Trump starts doing in office to determine if there's certainty in one direction or another." Hollows continues.
"The U.S. could increase reshoring and boost manufacturing in general if the tax breaks promised by the Trump administration occur and leaves money in the pockets of businesses and will give us an uptick in the automation sector, including vision robotics" Merva says.
IoT Readies for Primetime
A handful of applications and technological trends are expected to influence the vision industry in this coming year of transition. Ghislain Beaupré, Vice President of R&D and Operations at Teledyne DALSA (Waterloo, Ontario) points to continued and increased focus on robotics, 3D imaging, and machine learning, along with growing emphasis on software to power artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial neural networks (ANN). Additionally, Beaupré foresees continued expansion of applications for non-visible imaging, including multispectral and thermal.
One trend that vision could capitalize on in 2017 and beyond is the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). "Machine vision is becoming more ubiquitous as the IIoT becomes more of a reality," says Marc Marini, Director of Vision R&D at National Instruments (Austin, Texas). He cites the example of infrared cameras for asset monitoring.
With spending on the IIoT expected to reach $500 billion by 2020, enterprises have high expectations to boost productivity and revenues. "They want connectivity from the top down to all the machinery and controls so they can guarantee a product change and download the correct parameters to all individual components," Merva says. "This interconnectivity will continue to proliferate, enabled by the GigE Vision and GenICam standards, which will continue to develop and become more useful to end users, integrators, and OEMs alike."
Even with the promised gains of the IIoT, the market might not yet be ripe for picking. "The leading edge would likely happen on the production of these IoT devices," says Wallace Latimer, Sales Director, Customized Optical Systems, at FISBA LLC (Tucson, Arizona). "The use of them in our space to update or change the industry is still to be determined."
Buckle Up for Autonomous Vehicles
Demand for machine vision applications outside the factory is expected to climb as well in verticals such as intelligent transportation systems, surveillance, and autonomous vehicles. For self-driving cars, machine vision could offer distinctive solutions to an industry on the cusp of deployment.
"Deep learning or artificial intelligence (AI) platforms and penetration, as leveraged by great investment for autonomous driving, should continue to drive interest and expectation in solving challenges in the decision-making space of automation," says FISBA'S Latimer.
Machine vision's place in the autonomous vehicle market has yet to solidify, according to Edmund Optics' Hollows. "These cars have had cameras for a long time, but very few machine vision companies sell into that market because of the commoditization of the product," Hollows says. "And when you're integrating things in the automotive industry, it's difficult."
He points to the cell phone market as an example. "Machine vision companies sell all kinds of things into inspection systems within the industry, but how many people are integrating components on device?" Hollows asks. "Is the autonomous vehicle market going to create a boom of new technologies that need to be inspected and machine vision grows? Do we have the resources and capability, or is it the adjacent industries like lift trucks, semis, and public transportation trains and buses where the volumes are lower and parts are integrated with higher margins?"
If the answer to these questions is "yes," another question arises: Are vision OEMs and suppliers equipped for the task at hand? "2017 marks the beginning of the transition point because in five to six years we're going to be seeing new players in the market and companies that will change radically," Hollows says.
The last time such a sea change occurred was between 2007 and 2009 when the recession hit. Says Hollows: "We went from expensive smart and regular cameras to low-cost GigE Vision cameras, and it changed the industry."
Adapting to Customer Demand
Although opportunities in non-manufacturing market segments for vision and imaging are abundant, machine vision manufacturers confront several challenges. According to AIA's Shikany, these industries "typically demand cameras with the ability to change focus and aperture while operating in differing ambient conditions."
On the other hand, traditional manufacturing markets generally prefer camera systems with a fixed focus, distance, and lighting. By overcoming camera limitations, vision solution providers continue to penetrate non-manufacturing industries such as life sciences, agriculture, traffic, security, and surveillance.
Regardless of the markets they target, vision companies face another key challenge: satiating customers' appetite for higher-bandwidth applications. Most often that requires cameras with increased resolution and speed. "Customers expect more functionality for a lower price," says Shikany. "This mandate puts more pressure on vision manufacturers, distributors, and integrators to deliver feature-rich solutions at a modest cost."
With a number of irons in the fire, the machine vision industry is poised for growth through the rest of the decade. "Between a healthy manufacturing sector and mounting interest in automation, North America will continue to be an appealing business environment for machine vision sales in the next three to five years," Shikany says.

Q: Range of values of x for the sum to be valid.
Given the series:
   $$\frac{1}{x+1}+\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}+\frac{1}{(x+1)^3}+...$$

Find the sum to infinity for the series and state the range(s) of values of $x$ for the sum to be valid.
I solved the first part of question but I've no idea for the 'range' part. Hope someone can point it out. Thanks in advance.

A: It's a geometric series
For $-1<\frac{1}{x+1}<1$ it converges to $\frac{\frac{1}{x+1}}{1-\frac{1}{x+1}}=\frac{1}{x}.$
The range of $x$ is $$(-\infty,-2)\cup(0,+\infty)$$
because $\frac{1}{x+1}<1$ it's
$$\frac{1}{x+1}-1<0$$ or
$$\frac{x}{x+1}>0,$$
which gives $x>0$ or $x<-1$;
$$\frac{1}{x+1}>-1$$ it's
$$\frac{1}{x+1}+1>0$$ or
$$\frac{x+2}{x+1}>0,$$
which gives $x<-2$ or $x>-1$ and which the previous result we get:
$x<-2$ or $x>0$.

If you know a storm is coming and you have time, make a risk assessment in and around your home. It's so important that you take a look around and make sure there are no accidents waiting to happen. For instance, a big tree with loose branches could cause a problem in high winds. Do your best to clean up any risks so that you and your home can remain as safe as possible.
If you have garden furniture and toys, don't risk leaving them in the garden. Store them safely away in a garage or shed. If you don't, you could end up with your child's toys all over the street, or worse, coming through your window!
Find ways to strengthen your home, garage, shed, and any other area that could become damaged in the storm. Make sure you use special products to protect them regularly, and that they are securely locked and sturdy. The roof is the most exposed area on the home, and can easily become damaged in a storm. Make sure it's safe. Make sure there are no gaps where water or wind can get in either, as you could leave yourself susceptible to a flood. The only thing you can do then is find a reliable flood cleanup place to help you minimize the damage.
In serious storm instances, windows can become broken by things flying into them due to the high winds. It's a good idea to stay away from your windows and keep your curtains closed to protect you from any glass that might break.
A good insurance policy that will cover you for this kind of thing is essential. Make sure it's suitable for your needs, and that you contact them ASAP should you experience problems.
If you have children, chances are they don't like storms all that much. You can minimize their fears when you explain to them the science of a storm, so they understand it better and feel they have more control over the situation. Talk to them about their fears and make sure you validate their feelings. Don't tell them that they are being silly! You can also comfort them and ask them what they want to do to feel better. This might be listening to their music, or making a fort where they feel safe.
Stay calm next time a storm comes and use this advice as soon as possible!
