The Americans Season 5 Trailer: Gonna Need a Training Montage
The Americans returns for season 5 next month and somehow things look tenser than ever before. I don't know how they manage this every year, but the threat levels look higher and also there is some training to be done.
After seeing her mother take out two dudes – including killing one of them – at the end of last season Paige has even more questions about what her parents do and she's ready to help with the family business. This includes her relationship with Matthew Beeman in The Americans version of Romeo and Juliet and getting self-defense lessons from her mother.
The net continues to close in around Philip and Elizabeth and there is concern that their position is more precarious than ever. Here is the trailer and the ticking clock does a very good job of setting my frayed Americans nerves on fire. Great music timing with the punches too.
Prepare for the all new season of TV's most acclaimed drama. #TheAmericans returns March 7 on @fxnetworks.
A post shared by The Americans (@theamericansfx) on Feb 7, 2017 at 10:53am PST
And here is my breakdown of some notable moments. Henry is still excluded from all important family conversations for obvious reasons. Costume wise Elizabeth is back to silk blouses and not worrying about hiding Keri Russell's IRL pregnancy. Philip still does dad sweaters better than anyone. Disguise cave! It is always fun to take a sneak look at their getting ready process and even more so when they're discussion domestic issues. Philip has concerns with regards to Paige and I don't blame him tbh. Maybe all Stan needs is some red string to connect the dots. Or the Carrie Mathison color coding method. Mischa Jr. is coming! His voyage to the US is far from first class with the trunk of a car providing the non-luxury conditions. I had to double check this wasn't Matthew Rhys so good casting guys! Philip and Elizabeth tend to have their most intimate conversations in the bathroom (for anyone who has read my teen TV pieces they will know how happy this makes me) and Philip is also great at miming the clusterfuck they are now in. Getting every Buffy/Alias training montage vibe. If this was 2017 Paige would probably be wearing an Ivy Park hoodie. As it is 1984 she is in ESprit. And it is also worth noting her cross necklace is still on display. A very proud mama. Stan has very strong concerns about Oleg's safety as he is still giving the FBI information and this is probably wrapped up in the fact that he already got one informant killed. Oleg looks every level stressed. This is a tad on the blurry side as this shot is very quick, but here are two new disguises. The last time Philip wore a hat like that it did not go well. A gentle stroll in the park or really a difference in opinion about Philip and Elizabeth; Claudia thinks that nothing scares them, Gabriel believes the opposite.
Considering how broken they were at the midpoint last season I am definitely inclined to side with Gabriel on this one. They definitely just did something bad. Bonus points for the eerie mist and pensive stares. A brief look at the new flight themed disguises which debuted in Entertainment Weekly at the end of last year. And I am always thrilled to see Elizabeth in huge frames.
The Americans returns Tuesday, March 7 on FX.

The Rise of Sansa Stark: A New Cape and Purpose for Season 5 of Game of Thrones
The Game of Thrones season 5 promotional juggernaut switched gears from teasers to a full blown trailer and a whole batch of promo photos. There is a lot to unpack from the two minutes of new footage and 19 brand new shots, but I want to focus on one character who appears very briefly and that is Sansa Stark.
First a disclaimer – I haven't read the books so everything that follows is pure speculation as I have no idea where the story is going to take this character. And now some background with my feelings towards this character; when Sansa is first introduced she is a social climbing brat who at the first glimpse of Joffrey's proclivity to picking the harshest punishment possible doesn't run in the opposite direction. This seems dumb and therefore everything that follows could be seen as Sansa's fault for wanting to marry the boy who would become king. But hold up, as age is a factor that should be considered and despite how fresh faced Sophie Turner looks during the first season it is easy to forget how young Sansa is meant to be. Later on when Tyrion asks how old she is, her reply of "fourteen" is incredibly shocking.
In any other show her actions would result in the usual teen punishments and the consequences would be less severe; in this world she has to witness the very brutal death of her father and then she is subject to various emotional and physical torments all at the hands of the boy she naively thought would be 'the one.' This is no fairy tale and the would-be queen sure doesn't get her happy ending.
Cut to the last time we saw Sansa in "The Mountain and the Viper" and while this character has cried plenty in the past (and I'm sure there will be tears in the future) she responds to her current situation with all the knowledge and lessons from the women she has been surrounded by. Sansa has spent time with those who have all learned how to use what strength and skills they have to survive in a world where women don't tend to have a lot of power; Catelyn, Cersei and Margaery are all very different of course but each has imbued valuable lessons. Margaery is on the surface the kindest of the three, but she is also using manipulation to stay ahead and this will be an important tool when it comes to Sansa's current companion, Littlefinger. To me Sansa is the Blair Waldorf of Westeros (a theory I will expand upon one day) and I'm hoping season 5 will see her reaching the levels of scheming that would make Blair proud.
Littlefinger was in love with Sansa's mother and there is definitely an element of transference here. What happens when the master manipulator is confronted by a vision of the woman he loved? And Sansa's new steely darker look makes her resemblance to her mother even more uncanny giving her an advantage over Littlefinger. He really doesn't have a lot of weak points but the Stark women – remember he didn't sell Arya out to Tywin – have a way of reaching into the dark depths of Littlefinger and finding what little compassion he possesses.
Okay let's talk about one of the costuming highlights of season four as Sansa switched up her floral muted pastel color frocks for the Goth feathered approach, complete with new pointy jewelry (to mirror her sister's sword). Most teens have a moment where they dramatically change their look but this is not a moment of rebellion, instead it is a visual battle cry to show Sansa as far more than a victim. This is her taking charge of her fate and if she has to align herself with the super slimy Littlefinger then so be it. The way he looks at her with thirst in his eyes is of course incredibly creepy and I am hoping she doesn't have to compromise herself too much to stay in favor.
A new cape and a style that mirrors Littlefinger's dark attire keeps up the appearance that they are in this together; maybe Sansa will go all Stockholm Syndrome on us and Littlefinger's hold over her will go from necessary survival tactic to something deeper. This is a scenario I want Sansa to avoid and if she can keep a piece of herself free from his clutches then this will be a small victory. In the promo (which you can see below) he puts his hands on her face imploring her to "avenge them" in the promo and he should add his name to the long list of Stark wrongdoers as he kick-started the whole thing; there is so much blood on Littlefinger's hands you can't even see his actual fingers.
The Stark children keep missing each other for reasons which include death and other missions they are taking part in; one of the most heartbreaking is how close Arya and Sansa were to seeing each other again. Now there is a sea between them and my hopes for an Arya/Sansa team-up have been dashed. So much has happened to both of them and if they could put aside previous grievances I think they would be a formidable team. Alas, now they have to go it alone and while they are better equipped to deal with the harsh realities of this world it would be much better if they were together.
And here is the very exciting and action packed season 5 trailer with plenty of conflict and a very beardy Tyrion.

New Breaking Bad Poster: "It Was All in the Chemistry"
There are just two episodes left of Breaking Bad and AMC has released a poster that celebrates both the show and the fans. The image is a simple one of where it all started; we got to see the RV once again in the last episode as part of a flashback that showed Walt's first meth related lie to Skyler. A lot has happened since then and the second part of season 5 has been firing on all cylinders; I watched "Ozymandias" a few days ago and it's left a big impression. If babies could get nominated for things then the kid(s) playing baby Holly deserves something for "Mama" improv and for breaking my already smooshed heart in the fire truck at the end of the episode.
AMC has also announced that the last two installments will be slightly longer than normal and will run at 75-minutes with commercials; plan for extra snacks/drinks (the latter will definitely be needed) because the tension is sure to be high.
The last episode airs on AMC Sunday, September 29 (good luck all other shows that are premiering that night) and will be available on Netflix on Monday 30 in the UK.

Breaking Bad Season 5 Photos: New Alliances?
There is less than a month to go until the final 8 episodes of Breaking Bad and AMC has released another batch of promo photos; first they reminded us that "All Bad Things Must Come to an End" followed by the recent shot of Walt looking menacing with the words "Remember My Name" emblazoned across his figure. The teasers have done a great job of well, teasing by telling us the show is ending, a fact I was trying to ignore and telling us that Walter White means business (or wants to join a Fame revival). It's time to see the rest of the cast and theorize about what these pairings could mean for the end of this journey.
The partnership that started it all has been through its fair share of triumphs, disasters and deception. The last episode saw a petrified Jesse receiving a bag full of money from Walt and their relationship has been severed in what appears to be an amicable fashion (at least a lot more amicable than it was for Mike). That isn't to say that Jesse isn't broken by his experience with his former chemistry teacher or that he won't get sucked back into the business once again. Jesse is the heart of Breaking Bad and so it has become increasingly difficult watching him get torn apart by the things he has done and if he does manage to break free from Walt he will always be looking over his shoulder as the shot above suggests. Nothing would make me happier if Jesse gets to drive away from all of this.
The episode that ended the first half of this final season had Hank finding out that Walter White is really Heisenberg (his discovery was made in the most innocuous place – the bathroom, thanks to Walt's toilet reading material) and so it's not outside the realm of possibility that Hank will attempt to team up with Jesse to bring Walt down. There is bad blood between Hank and Jesse as Hank beat the living crap out of Jesse back in season 3. This led to one of the many amazing Aaron Paul moments as he delivered a speech full of hate about Hank from his hospital bed. Will they be able to put this behind them? This photo has them both looking at each other with suspicion, with Jesse looking over his shoulder once again and if they do work together trust will be an issue. I'd really like to see a happy ending for both Jesse and Hank, but knowing this show and how far Walt is willing to go I fear that one of them won't make it to the end of the show alive.
A note on Jesse's wardrobe; gone are the hoodies and this look is more adult than we have seen before, the double plaid works together and his appearance is more rugged. This weathered look reflects the toll that his time with Walt has had on him both mentally and physically.
Jesse isn't the only one who has been broken by his relationship with Walt as Walt's family has been destroyed by his work in the crystal meth business. While Walt Jr. and Holly have been shielded from this to some extent, Skyler has not been so fortunate. After becoming involved in the money laundering side Skyler has become a shell of her former self and suffered a breakdown. Skyler did manage to convince Walt to end the business after she took him to a storage unit and showed him how much money he has accumulated and asked him how much their family is worth. That's the reason Walt started all of this, but because his cancer didn't kill him like he thought it would he went a lot further than he ever intended.
While the family scene at the end of the last episode suggested closure, thanks to the opening scene of season 5 we know that things have escalated and this is probably thanks to Hank's discovery. What role will Skyler play in all of this? Will she remain the dutiful wife and help Walt bury more secrets as the photo above hints at? Or will she stand tall against the man who is no longer anything like the one she married?
Answers will be forthcoming when Breaking Bad returns Sunday, August 11 on AMC.

Music's biggest day of the year is "The Grammys" We put together a few Unforgettable Grammy Award Moments of all time!
In 2001 Eminem and Elton John teamed up to perform "Stan" off of his third studio album "The Marshall Mathers LP,".
If you had the opportunity to play this game of life, you need to appreciate every moment.
In 2011 Lady Gaga Arrived in an Egg on the Red Carpet, only to hatch on stage for her BIG performance on stage for "Born This Way"!
At the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards in 2011 Justin Bieber performed a MASHUP of his hit songs "Baby" and "Never Say Never." and shared the stage with Usher and Jaden Smith!
In 2014 at the 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards Lorde performed her HIT "Royals" from her debut album "Pure Heroine" where she WON Song of the year.
In 2015 Taylor Swift gave her Acceptance Speech for "Album of the Year" "1989"
I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.
At the 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney teamed up to perform their song "FourFiveSeconds". The performance was Legendary!
In 2017 at the 59th Annual GRAMMY Awards Beyoncé gave a INSPIRATIONAL speech after accepting The Best Urban Ceontemporary Album for "Lemonade".
We all experience pain and loss, and often we become inaudible. My intention for the film and album was to create a body of work that would give a voice to our pain, our struggles, our darkness and our history. To confront issues that make us uncomfortable. It's important to me to show images to my children that reflect their beauty so they can grow up in a world where they look in the mirror — first through their own families, as well as the news, the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the White House and the Grammys — and see themselves. And have no doubt that they're beautiful, intelligent and capable. This is something I want for every child of every race, and I feel it's vital that we learn from the past and recognize our tendencies to repeat our mistakes.

Quality of Life and Associated Factors among Adults with Epilepsy in Nigeria
Mosaku, Kolawole S ; Fatoye, Femi O. ; Komolafe, Morenikeji ; Lawal, Musiliu ; Ola, Bola A. (2006)
Objective: Epilepsy is a common condition worldwide and has been observed to affect quality of life (QOL). Though, much has been written on this subject among western populations, little research has been done in developing countries of Africa including Nigeria. The study aims to identify factors associated with quality of life among adult epilepsy patients in this environment. Method: Respondents were evaluated using the 10-itcm Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory (QOLIE-10). The 30-item General Health Questionnaire (GI-IQ-30), the modified Mini Mental State Examination (mMMSE), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Diagnosis of epilepsy was based on clinical and electroencephalographic findings. Results: The mean age of the 51 respondents was 27.7 years (SD = 9.7). Thirteen (25.5%) had an average of 2 seizure episodes in the month preceding the interview, while 37 (72.5%) have had the condition for more than 5 years. Factors that were significantly associated with overall quality of life included being female (p < 0.05), seizure frequency (p < 0.01), using more than 1 anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) (p < 0.01), GHQ-30 score (p < 0.01), high anxiety score (p < 0.001), and high depression score (p < 0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that depressive symptoms were the single most important factor explaining low QOL. Other factors were GHQ-30 score, seizure frequency, and being a woman. Conclusion: Controlling seizures and paying attention to the psychological needs of adult epileptics will have a positive effect on the QOL among Nigerian epileptics.

Q: Areas not showing in TFS sprint burndown report Using TFS 2010 & Visual Studio 2013 team explorer.
I've created a new TFS project and I've set up a couple Iterations and Areas.
The iterations are as follows:

Current
   Sprint 1
Sprint 2
Sprint 3
Sprint 4
Backlog

The active sprint will always be under Current so we don't have to modify 'current sprint' queries.
The Areas are as follows:

Project 1
Project 2

There are a bunch of Product Backlog Items (PBIs) that are committed under Sprint 1. Each of these have some child tasks.
From what I can tell everything seems to be set up correctly e.g. most PBIs have an assigned effort, Area, & Iteration. The Tasks have been assigned Remaining work & Area...
When I go to look at the sprint burndown SSRS report; I select an Iteration from the Iteration combo-box (which is populated correctly), however, when I go to select an Area from the Area combo-box, there are no items to select. I can't run the report unless I've specified both an Iteration and an Area.
How do I get the Areas that I've defined to appear?
Please help.

A: It sounds like the cube has not been processing correctly. You may need to give it a kick.
If you log onto the TFS server and you to the reporting tab in the TFS admin console you can reprocess it.
Note: Do that in off hours as it can take some time.

Most of us are only familiar with two living options, either living in an apartment which you can live in alone or co-share with roommates, or having a house in the suburbs with the white picket fence. Both of these living situations are supposed to represent different lifestyles to people. We usually end up perceiving living in apartments as something young adults choose to do while they are struggling to earn, and, we consider a house in the suburbs to be something that can only be afforded by adults who have finally settled down and have a stable enough income to have a permanent place of their own.
However, this is not exactly the case. A lot of people voluntarily choose to stay in apartments in the city even when they can afford a house. Plus, even if they want to opt for permanent property ownership, they buy condos instead. This is more of a generational shift in trends because a lot of young people no longer understand the point of staying in the suburbs when they can live a more convenient and comfortable lifestyle in the city.
This is why Toronto new condos are growing more and more popular, because a lot of adults today consider them to be the best option in terms of convenience, and they are right because condos to check off a lot of important boxes. Firstly, they are permanent property ownership, so you will have a place to your name, secondly, they are located in the city, so everything is a lot closer to you, saving you a lot of travelling time. Thirdly, because you do not have to travel as much, you end up saving a lot of money on fuel. So, really, it is not really surprising that more and more people are now moving towards condos.


Here are some pointers you can use for your stories. In case you were wondering, I do not claim to be perfect, I make mistakes in my writings and am not always following my own tips. But they can be handy none-the-less!
Make sure you correct your grammar and spelling. It's very annoying reading simple spelling errors.
Send your story to a beta reader. You can learn a lot from someone who can give you pointers what she/he liked or didn't like. Also a beta reader can see mistakes you've overlooked.
Research is always important. If you write a story about a disease and it's not realistic readers will often stop reading.
As a writer know your character, make sure you know how you want your character to develop over time. A good idea is to write a short profile of every characters you've created so you always have their backgroud to fall back to.
Don't rush your story. It's very important that you work some scenes out (some scenes you can rush but not everything).

Q: Do while loop in SQL Server 2008 Is there any method for implement do while loop in SQL server 2008?

A: If you are not very offended by the GOTO keyword, it can be used to simulate a DO / WHILE in T-SQL. Consider the following rather nonsensical example written in pseudocode:
SET I=1
DO
 PRINT I
 SET I=I+1
WHILE I<=10

Here is the equivalent T-SQL code using goto:
DECLARE @I INT=1;
START:                -- DO
  PRINT @I;
  SET @I+=1;
IF @I<=10 GOTO START; -- WHILE @I<=10

Notice the one to one mapping between the GOTO enabled solution and the original DO / WHILE pseudocode. A similar implementation using a WHILE loop would look like:
DECLARE @I INT=1;
WHILE (1=1)              -- DO
 BEGIN
  PRINT @I;
  SET @I+=1;
  IF NOT (@I<=10) BREAK; -- WHILE @I<=10
 END

Now, you could of course rewrite this particular example as a simple WHILE loop, since this is not such a good candidate for a DO / WHILE construct. The emphasis was on example brevity rather than applicability, since legitimate cases requiring a DO / WHILE are rare.

REPEAT / UNTIL, anyone (does NOT work in T-SQL)?
SET I=1
REPEAT
  PRINT I
  SET I=I+1
UNTIL I>10

... and the GOTO based solution in T-SQL:
DECLARE @I INT=1;
START:                    -- REPEAT
  PRINT @I;
  SET @I+=1;
IF NOT(@I>10) GOTO START; -- UNTIL @I>10

Through creative use of GOTO and logic inversion via the NOT keyword, there is a very close relationship between the original pseudocode and the GOTO based solution. A similar solution using a WHILE loop looks like:
DECLARE @I INT=1;
WHILE (1=1)       -- REPEAT
 BEGIN
  PRINT @I;
  SET @I+=1;
  IF @I>10 BREAK; -- UNTIL @I>10
 END

An argument can be made that for the case of the REPEAT / UNTIL, the WHILE based solution is simpler, because the if condition is not inverted. On the other hand it is also more verbose.
If it wasn't for all of the disdain around the use of GOTO, these might even be idiomatic solutions for those few times when these particular (evil) looping constructs are necessary in T-SQL code for the sake of clarity.
Use these at your own discretion, trying not to suffer the wrath of your fellow developers when they catch you using the much maligned GOTO.

A: You can also use an exit variable if you want your code to be a bit more readable:
DECLARE @Flag int = 0
DECLARE @Done bit = 0

WHILE @Done = 0 BEGIN
    SET @Flag = @Flag + 1
    PRINT @Flag
    IF @Flag >= 5 SET @Done = 1
END

This would probably be more relevant when you have a more complicated loop and are trying to keep track of the logic. As stated loops are expensive so try and use other methods if you can.

A: I seem to recall reading this article more than once, and the answer is only close to what I need.
Usually when I think I'm going to need a DO WHILE in T-SQL it's because I'm iterating a cursor, and I'm looking largely for optimal clarity (vs. optimal speed). In T-SQL that seems to fit a WHILE TRUE / IF BREAK.
If that's the scenario that brought you here, this snippet may save you a moment. Otherwise, welcome back, me. Now I can be certain I've been here more than once. :)
DECLARE Id INT, @Title VARCHAR(50)
DECLARE Iterator CURSOR FORWARD_ONLY FOR
SELECT Id, Title FROM dbo.SourceTable
OPEN Iterator
WHILE 1=1 BEGIN
    FETCH NEXT FROM @InputTable INTO @Id, @Title
    IF @@FETCH_STATUS < 0 BREAK
    PRINT 'Do something with ' + @Title
END
CLOSE Iterator
DEALLOCATE Iterator

Unfortunately, T-SQL doesn't seem to offer a cleaner way to singly-define the loop operation, than this infinite loop.

A: I am not sure about DO-WHILE IN MS SQL Server 2008 but you can change your WHILE loop logic, so as to USE like DO-WHILE loop.
Examples are taken from here: http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2007/10/24/sql-server-simple-example-of-while-loop-with-continue-and-break-keywords/

*

*Example of WHILE Loop
DECLARE @intFlag INT

*Example of WHILE Loop with BREAK keyword

SET @intFlag = 1
WHILE (@intFlag <=5)
BEGIN
    PRINT @intFlag
    SET @intFlag = @intFlag + 1
    IF @intFlag = 4
        BREAK;
END

    PRINT @intFlag

    CONTINUE;
    IF @intFlag = 4 -- This will never executed
        BREAK;
END

But try to avoid loops at database level.
Reference.

A: Only While Loop is officially supported by SQL server. Already there is answer for DO while loop. I am detailing answer on ways to achieve different types of loops in SQL server.
If you know, you need to complete first iteration of loop anyway, then you can try DO..WHILE or REPEAT..UNTIL version of SQL server.
DO..WHILE Loop
DECLARE @X INT=1;

WAY:  --> Here the  DO statement

  PRINT @X;

  SET @X += 1;

IF @X<=10 GOTO WAY;

REPEAT..UNTIL Loop
DECLARE @X INT = 1;

WAY:  -- Here the REPEAT statement

  PRINT @X;

  SET @X += 1;

IFNOT(@X > 10) GOTO WAY;

FOR Loop
DECLARE @cnt INT = 0;

Rosie Williams died the way she'd lived: ugly.
It starts with a prostitute, stripped naked and beaten to death in the heart of Aberdeen's red light district. For DS Logan McRae it's a bad start to another bad day; no longer the golden boy of Grampian Police he's been palmed off on a DI everyone knows is a jinx, waiting for the axe to fall with all the other rejects in the 'Screw-Up Squad'.
Summertime in the Granite City, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the morgue is getting crowded: burnt bodies, murdered junkies, dismembered Labradors, and battered prostitutes. And as if that wasn't enough to worry about, there's a PC lying in Accident and Emergency with a bullet in him, and it's all Logan's fault.
Half of Grampian Police aren't talking to him, Inspector Napier from 'Professional Standards' is hell-bent on getting him fired, and DI Steel takes the credit for anything he does right. It's going to be one of those weeks.

Fall Colors - Show us what you got?
Fall is easily my favorite season, so I am outside as much as possible, sometimes with "the good camera." We went to Door County WI a few weeks ago when (by chance) Fall colors were well underway, and this was my favorite Fall pic this year (though undoubtedly better a week later). I assume peak colors are moving south about now, so coming soon to a location near you for most!
Here's a picture I just took a moment ago after walking out the front door.
The weather we have today is amazing...76 degrees, but in the sun it feels even warmer.
Fall? What fall? Temperature here has been in the 90s. And then, it is difficult to get foliage color out of saguaros in the low desert, and evergreens in the high country.
So, recently I had to go to the Canadian Maritimes and New England to get the following photos. They do not do the scenery justice as I am not a photographer, nor have more than my pocket camera, but I think they are good to refresh my memory of the trip in later years.
Gorgeous pics! The next to last reminds me of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park ME, my personal favorite. I hope this is a pleasant, colorful thread!
In our RV trek, we saw much spectacular scenery, but with a lumbering motorhome there was no way we could stop to take a shot. When the lighting was just right, the trees would appear to be aflame with brilliant gold, orange, and red.
I was able to take the above photos when touring with the towed car, but was not happy with the results. The colors though the eyes looked so much better.
PS. Yes, the middle photo was taken from Mt. Cadillac. The place was swarmed with tourists taking photos.
PPS. A real photographer would have so much fun. Even the fern on the ground and the lichen on the rocks turned color!
Some from previous years, they are not so good this year for some reason.
The park next door... colors not so great this year.
This was taken by a friend during our weekly men's tour golf outing a month ago at the Mount Washington (NH) Resort golf course. What a beautiful day we had!
Excellent pictures! No fall foliage in sight in my area as trees are mostly evergreens.
Great pics. Color hasn't been that great here this year either, and sometimes it seems to come and go faster than other years (it goes from green to withered brown in a matter of days some years). A function of temp (rate of change), rain & humidity, wind, other I'm told?
Fall foliage? Yesterday's high was 90F, and it is 85F out there right now.
Fall foliage here was beautiful, but the wind came through the other night and now the trees are bare and we have a sea of leaves on the ground. I'll just sit back now and freeze enjoy all the photos and posts.
Time to sing "All the leaves are brown..." ?
Well, make that "All the leaves are gone...".
My back yard a couple of years ago.
Yes, we call it "stick" season - between fall and winter. It's the inverse of mud season that we have in the spring.
This is one of my favorite photos of fall foliage...sumac trees that look like inverse flames. Photos taken on Route 26 somewhere east of the middle of nowhere in upstate NY.

Acts 5:20 go speak to the people the whole "rhema" of this life. In other words, declare what I've revealed to you. You can't speak "rhema" without the Holy Spirit accompanying you.
If the truest form of expression comes when the Holy Spirit inspires and accompanies it, then some of the worst forms of corruption of that come in the form of contracts concerning "worship music" and sermons. If we contractually obligate Christians to produce albums and teachings, then they are motivated by money and job security to fill space. The Holy Spirit can certainly transcend these human limitations, but why would we not reorient ourselves to work fully in communion with Him?
Godly creative exrpession is to art what Rhema is to Logos. People can learn the skills of art, and be really good at it. But doing those things in communion with the Holy Spirit connect to something deeper. Our relationship with God can inspire others to engage a relationship with God.
We emphasize communicating testimonies in creative expression. We have done this (Mark, Mark, and Jason are musicians), and we encourage it in others. Testimonies are authentic; they are a weapon; and the tell of what God has done. Testimonies declare that God is who He says He is, and that He is their Lord.
Psalm 66:5,16 Come and see the works of God, who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men…come and hear all who fear God and I will tell of what He's done for my soul.
People were moved by what Jesus preached because He taught with authority. It wasn't just His conviction (which some preachers do not have), but that He did what He taught. He was passionate about what He taught – things that He knew, did, and had a deep conviction of. He lived what He taught. Deep conviction backed up with a steadfast walk shakes people.
People desire authenticity because it is a connection to something that can be known. It is proof that truth and love are attainable, that loneliness is not the only option. Authenticity in expression means that the expression is not just a product or filler, but that it bridges the gap between our experiences. This desire for authenticity puts a wedge within our religious experience. The modern church strives to be "authentic", but kills that effort by its striving. Authentic followers are living sacrifices.
To be authentic, we need to find our identity, and we can only find that in Christ.
Godly creative expression is done with authority – it is done as an outpouring of what we know and do, it is done in communion with the Holy Spirit.
Why are you creating? Is it just to fill space? Is it to attract people to your self? Are you just adding bible words to chords? What inspires it? What is the motivation? What power is there in something contrived? Our creations have more power when they come from a place of authority – of an outpouring of our experience.
What is the vision of Godly creative expression? God's vision for creative expression will depend on what His vision is for the church in a certain place at a certain time. He will be expressing what He is doing through mankind's expression. If this is the case, then the church is missing out by programming and recycling "worship music." The bible speaks of EVERYONE bringing a psalm, hymn, or spiritual song, for the purposes of teaching and edifying. This means that God can move corporately in a church BODY and express Himself at that time through new and old expressions. "Worship music", or any artistic function within the church, should not be seen as entertaining, but in some way prophetic, in that it is expressing who God is and what He is doing.
If the creative expression of who God is and what He is doing is limited, stifled, etc., then its power is greatly decreased. The praises cannot be heard, the rebukes are not received, the encouragements are silenced. He cheapen the arts to "oh, that's pretty" or "oh, that's cool" or "i really like this song".
So…how are urban renewal, reformation of the church, and reformation of creative expression all the same thing? Because they are all concerned with God's patterns, having a relationship with God, being filled with His Spirit, walking in His ways. When we are in line with God's ways, we are declaring His glory, we are expressing His diving attributes. When we do that, we will be ministering. You will be living out Isaiah 61. When we do this, our hearts are full of the good things of God, and they overflow in our various abilities. We do that together, corporately, as a body. Within this context, the only reason any art exists is because we have encountered our Lord and we can't help but to express it, or we so desire to encounter Him that we call out in lament.
As the church has become corrupted in America, and Americanized the Gospel, it brought its arts right along with it and turned ministry into an industry. If we leave the world and allign our hearts with God's, then we will find ourselves in the trenches of spiritual warfare, and shoulder to shoulder not only with our brothers and sisters, but with Jesus Himself, and that results in the restoration of dark places, including inner cities. As we live among those who need love and need the Lord, and humble ourselves, instead of exalting ourselves like the builders of Babel, then what we do create, express, and build will communicate who God is and what He does.
When we return to God's patterns, we will be loving, we will be expressing, and we will be living the church the way that He designed.
Creative expression includes most things people think of when they think about art. We are going to start by reviewing some of the big picture ideas we got to in parts 1 and 2 of this discussion.
Jubal the first musician, Tubal-Cain working with metal. We see records of people desiring to express creatively after the fall. Prior to the fall, man and God have perfect communion. After the fall, communication is impaired.
In the Garden, we had perfect communion. We were fully known, and we knew God in a very intimate way. So will there be creative expressions in Heaven? We will sing, we know that much. And God is creative, and we are created in His image. Are there parallels between creative expressions and spiritual gifts? Obviously spiritual gifts come from God and express who He is. But there will be a day when some pass away, and they won't be necessary, at least not in our current comprehension of them. They are for ministry and to build us up into the fullness of Christ. What purpose would they serve once we are in that fullness, together with the Father?
So instead of looking at creative expression as a compensation for lack of communion, is it something that is fully realized in unison with God? Is it something that we do WITH God, and in doing it with God, it becomes its true form, and works toward the will of God?
Is redeemed creative expression meant to EXPRESS God or EXPLAIN God? Likely, both.
Is creative expression out of union with God inherently corrupt? While they can be very honest, essentially yes. We had mentioned the urge to build and control related to the urge to create. These are parts of our image of God and part of His purpose for us, that we should be little creators who rule the world on God's behalf, and with Him. When those are corrupt, we end up building Babels. When we exercise our own creative energies apart from God, it can exalt our pride.
While there is much to be said for all humanity's creative efforts, the kind that will build us up will in some way point towards the Creator of all. Can our communion with God, our longing for Him, our desolation apart from Him, our questions and doubts, our pains and loss, inspire expressions that bridge the gap created at the Fall?
So after looking at all the ways music specifically was used in Scripture, for godly and ungodly purposes, and exploring lots of modern corruptions, how do we get back to God's design for creative expression? How do we reform it?
The Bible displays a spiritual connection to expression, and servants, especially Paul, desiring to communicate in God's ways.
Martin Luther believed that the Gospel was Jesus – essentially anything that communicated Jesus was Good News. If everything that could be expressed about God in human form was Jesus, then there is some merit to this idea. There are some who believe God's expression of Himself has ceased, and is contained entirely in Scripture. Some believe God is always communicated Jesus in some way. Not writing a new Bible, or replacing the Bible, or negating the Bible, but that God expresses Himself and communicates the Good News of the Kingdom always in many ways.
Logos and Rhema are two greek words that get translated as "word". However, the represent two slightly different ideas, both of which relate to creative expression.
Logos is most famously used in John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Here, he is clearly referring to Jesus.
While their literal definitions are very similar, their uses in Scripture show a difference.
Logos is the word, it is declaration. Rhema is revelation. Logos is concrete and clear and trustworthy. Rhema is expressive and fluid, yet still never contradicts the Logos. Rhema is not simply allegorical interpretations of Scripture. It is revelation of God. Sometimes it involves reading scripture. Sometimes it simply happens in ministry, no where near a Bible.
How does art relate to rhema? As God redeems His people, He fills them with His Spirit, grants them rhema (revelation of the truth), and inspires them to express it in way similar to how He expresses. This could be seen as taking what Scripture says, and creatively expressing what it means.
God supernatually revealed the design of the Tabernacle, then He sent His Spirit to empower craftsmen to accomplish the design.
When we are faithful and obedient, we are declaring the character of God. God reveals Himself to people in certain ways at certain times. Sometimes as a burning bush, sometimes as thunder, sometimes as a pillar of cloud, etc. Why? Why does He choose different forms, different expressions? Even in Scripture, there are many literary forms. Why does He choose poems in place, and geneologies in another? Why did Jesus come in human, tangible, physical form to live an observable, historical, concrete life, and yet also grant confounding visions to John? Because He is expressing in forms that express Him, to the recipient, and to others to come after. Because He is the creative Creator. Because there is so much of Him to express.

CTS News
Center for the Transformation of Schools > State of Crisis: Dismantling Student Homelessness in California > Introduction
Structure of the Report
The goal of this report is to explore the types of educational and social supports that 269,000 students experiencing homelessness in California in K-12 may require to be successful in school and life[1]. We also document the unique needs of children and students experiencing homelessness in early learning settings for grades 0-5 through college, including 1 in 5 community college, 1 in 10 California State University (CSU) and 1 in 20 University of California (UC) students. Section I establishes the underlying challenges impacting educational success for students experiencing homelessness. The parameters for state and federal policies to address student homelessness in California are summarized in Section II. Section III of the report captures key findings based on focus groups and interviews with over 150 stakeholders from across the state including service providers, community-based organizations, Local Education Agencies (LEAs), and higher education institutions in the state of California (see Appendix B for research methods). In Section IV, we highlight the perspectives of students who have experienced homelessness, exploring how homelessness has affected their capacity to participate and succeed in school. In Section V of the report, we analyze patterns in state data from the 2018-2019 academic school year for school districts and counties. Specifically, we analyze key indicators that influence student academic success, including 1) suspension rates, 2) chronic absenteeism rates, 3) graduation rates, and 4) UC/CSU readiness rates. Implications for lawmakers at all levels of government to address the student homelessness crisis are presented in Section VI. Lastly, Section VII discusses the connections between our findings in this report, and some of the practices, policies, and priorities that can improve services for the growing number of young people living in poverty and experiencing homelessness in the state of California.
Because of the complexity and scale of the challenges facing students experiencing homelessness in California, policymakers and educators need more accurate methods and greater capacity to identify affected students so that they can develop a strategy for deploying resources and implementing effective support systems. Both focus group participants and individual interviewees overwhelmingly called for an aggressive response to address the growing needs of students experiencing homelessness.
COVID-19 & Inequality
Poverty and inequality had profoundly shaped the California education landscape long before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost two-thirds of the 6.3 million K-12 students in California are economically disadvantaged. The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to bring about additional hardships for students and families experiencing homelessness.
COVID-19 stay-at-home orders have led to a surge in job loss and employment rates, at its peak (15.5%) reaching the highest it's been in 50 years (Bohn et al., 2020). Unemployment numbers in Los Angeles County, the state's most populous, reveal that 599,000 residents have filed for unemployment, which could result in significant consequences for 558,000 children who live in households unlikely to be able to pay the rent (Blasi, 2020). Substantial increases in unemployment and other adverse economic repercussions of the virus will likely cause an increase in the number of students who will fit the definition of homelessness under federal laws and thus qualify for homeless educational services.
Across California, school locations closed in March and transitioned to distance learning in an attempt to prevent the spread of the virus. While closing schools was necessary to protect public health, school closures pose real challenges for students experiencing homelessness because many of them depend on support services provided by their local schools. These include a safe space to be and learn during the day for 6-8 hours, school meals, dedicated and caring staff, developmental support for early learning, and expanded learning through before/after school services. For our college-level students, the closing of postsecondary institutions has placed additional stress on young people who have no housing off-campus.
Districts throughout the state have modified services for students experiencing homelessness to adapt to the challenges of coping with COVID-19, both in terms of helping students meet basic needs, and through providing distance learning services. Nevertheless, some of the underlying learning challenges that existed before COVID have only created more stark differences between students experiencing homelessness and those who have a stable living environment. One county official shared her perspective on this issue.
"Most of our families end up in places like motels, because there is very limited housing for them. So they may be in motels for months or years because the permanent housing market is just not there…and that's tough to be in situations where you're in a hotel and trying to learn. That's not optimal learning. If you've got a family of seven living in a one-room apartment for months on end and trying to do online learning, that right there alone, it's very, very difficult, and it's discouraging for a lot of our students. We're pushing education because we know it can be a cycle breaker, but it's discouraging for them."
Some of the modified services that school systems have prioritized in response to COVID-19 include transportation assistance, "home" delivery of learning materials (or other appropriate options), and providing meals and hygienic supplies. Los Angeles County has established 60 'Grab and Go' centers to allow students and families to access two meals each day. Across the state, school districts have modified their nutrition services programs to provide weekly and weekend meals in bulk for entire families. Meal distribution has also provided an effective mechanism for local educational agencies (LEAs) to communicate with families and supply additional educational resources, materials, and pertinent information. In Fresno County, for example, districts are working together with teachers to help develop systems for identifying students who might be experiencing homelessness through 'virtual' indicators presented within distance learning settings. Some districts in the Central Valley are exploring ways to improve instruction for students who lack access to quiet, dedicated spaces for learning and class participation. A county office of education representative explained further.
"For students, let's say, in a motel room, these kids are trying to learn and focus. Quite a few districts are getting headphones so that it cancels out [distractions]. Also, some are actually ordering microphones. So they're really anticipating what students might need."
The abrupt shift to distance learning has presented real challenges for students experiencing homelessness. Challenges for students experiencing homelessness include not only finding safe, stable spaces for them to learn, but also having adequate technology and internet access to participate in class discussions. One Southern California non-profit shared how it has shifted its focus under COVID-19 to distributing hot spots to families, shelters, and motels or hotels, to help students.
We've made getting hot spots a top priority for our organization to support distance education. Recently we delivered a hotspot to a family, and their little girl started crying. She was just so happy, because she loved doing her homework and that hotspot would allow her to do homework.
There was a hotel owner that worked so well with the county homeless liaison that a partnership was developed between them and a non-profit educational services agency that the hotel owner designated one entire room typically used to rent for students to set up digital devices and virtually meet with teachers and tutors.
As one interviewee shared, these types of collaborations are more likely to be possible when homeless liaisons have served in their positions for several years, are fully and continuously funded, and become familiar enough with the communities they serve to build relationships with students and families. In some instances, because of the dislocation challenges associated with homelessness, teachers and school sites have difficulty communicating with students outside of school, making it difficult to effectively communicate with students outside of school to assess their living situations or educational needs. The cumulative effects of these both known and unknown COVID-19-related opportunity gaps may further exacerbate disparities in achievement between students experiencing homelessness and their non-homeless peers.
In response to COVID, the California Department of Education continues to work closely with county homeless liaisons to ensure that students experiencing homelessness and youth within their county have access to technology and internet access to support distance learning. This report highlights the urgency of responding effectively to the changing needs of students experiencing homelessness during the pandemic, documenting prevailing educational conditions that existed before COVID.

Givaudan targets growth through new acquisitions
The global leader in the creation of fragrances and flavours has unveiled its financial ambitions and roadmap for the next five years. The company seeks to ensure responsible growth by decoupling growth and environmental impact through ambitious new eco-efficiency targets. On the financial side, Givaudan aims to outperform the market and deliver an average organic sales growth of 4 - 5 per cent.
"We intend to create further shareholder value through profitable growth and acquisitions. In order to create long-term value, we will capitalise on our market leadership, and most importantly, continue to build close partnerships with our customers," said Givaudan Chief Executive Officer Gilles Andrier.
In order to achieve these goals, the company will further expand in Asia, in particular in China and India. The company also intends to capture growth from consumer preferred products, especially in categories and markets where evolving preferences present further opportunities in a context where the global population is growing older and obesity rates are on the rise. Beyond its core flavours and fragrances, Givaudan will invest in integrated solutions that enhance its value proposition to customers and create new avenues for growth, in particular with, solutions that address the consumer demand for health and well-being products to target signs of ageing and support a more active, healthier and balanced lifestyle.
Givaudan thus targets to create incremental value through acquisitions in the areas of integrated solutions for food and beverages, as well as health and well-being, which also includes active cosmetic ingredients.
As far as environment is concerned, Givaudan is strengthening its 2020 eco-efficiency targets and will implement initiatives that aim to reduce its annual CO2 footprint by at least 4 per cent of the absolute CO2 footprint of the previous year. In addition, the company wants to reduce its waste production and energy consumption per tonne of product by 4 per cent each year as compared to the previous year. Finally, Givaudan reiterates its commitment to reducing water usage by 15 per cent per tonne of product between 2010 and 2020.

This module provide some method of PSI(Private Set Intersection)

## RSA Intersection

This mode implements algorithm based on [RSA
Intersection](https://books.google.com.hk/books?id=zfvf37_YS8cC&pg=PA73&lpg=PA73&dq=rsa+commutative+encryption&source=bl&ots=LbOiyIlr3E&sig=IIWlTGeoU0C8dRiN10uH2OAwobQ&hl=zh-CN&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiLoozC1tbXAhVDnJQKHbP7DvAQ6AEIdTAJ#v=onepage&q&f=false).
This work is built on FATE, eggroll and federation API that construct
the secure, distributed and parallel infrastructure.

Our Intersection module tries to solve Privacy-Preserving Entity Match
problem. This module helps two and more parties to find common entry ids
without leaking non-overlapping ids. The process is illustrated below in
figure 1.

![Figure 1 (RSA Intersection between party A and party
B)](../images/rsa_intersection.png)

In figure 1 ,Party A has user id
u1,u2,u3,u4, while Party B has u1,u2,u3,u5. After Intersection, party A
and party B both learn their common user ids, which are u1,u2,u3, while
neither party A nor B could decrypt each other's non-overlapping user
ids. Transmission parties' processed id to the other party, like \(Y-A\)
and \(Z-B\), will not reveal raw ids. Processed \(Z-B\) is safe due to
the privacy key of party B. Each \(Y-A\) includes different random value
which binds to each value in \(X-A\) and will be safe as well.

Introduced in FATE version 1.6,
split\_calculation option is available
for improved efficiency. Different from unified process described above,
split\_calculation process first splits
hash-processed ids into even and odd groups; each group then runs
through the RSA intersection process with either host or guest as the
joining role. Note than with
split\_calculation, host(s) always know
about their common even ids with guest since they are responsible for
finding common even ids.

With RSA intersection, participants can get their intersection ids
securely and efficiently.

## RAW Intersection

This mode implements the simple intersection method in which a
participant sends all its ids to another participant, and the other
participant finds their common ids. Finally, the joining role will send
the intersection ids to the sender.

## DH Intersection

This mode implements secure intersection based on symmetric encryption
with Pohlig–Hellman commutative cipher. DH Intersection is also used in
[Secure Information Retrieval(SIR)
module](sir.md).

Below is an illustration of single-host-guest DH intersection.

![Figure 2 (DH
Intersection)](../images/dh_intersection.png)

Here is an illustration of DH intersection with multiple hosts.

![Figure 3 (Multi-host DH
Intersection)](../images/multi_host_dh_intersection.png)

## ECDH Intersection

This mode implements secure intersection
based on [elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman scheme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic-curve_Diffie–Hellman).
ECDH mode currently uses [Curve25519](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve25519),
which offers 128 bits of security with key size of 256 bits.

Below is an illustration of ECDH intersection. Note that currently ECDH method only supports single-host scenario.

![Figure 4 (ECDH
Intersection)](../images/ecdh_intersection.png)

For details on how to hash value to given curve,
please refer [here](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-hash-to-curve-10#section-6.7.1).

## Intersection With Cache

Intersection may be conducted as online/offline phases. Both RSA and DH
Intersection support cache.

## Multi-Host Intersection

RSA, RAW, and DH intersection support multi-host scenario. It means a
guest can perform intersection with more than one host simultaneously
and get the common ids among all participants.

![Figure 5 (multi-hosts
Intersection)](../images/multi_host_intersect.png)

Refer to figure 2 for a demonstration of
one guest running intersection with two hosts; the same process applies
to cases with more than two hosts. First, guest will run intersection
with each host and get respective overlapping ids. Then, guest will find
common IDs from all intersection results. Optionally, guest will send
common IDs to every host.

## Match ID(Repeated ID) intersection

Starting at ver 1.7, it is recommended to assign random sid to uploaded
data. Intersection module then automatically checks for and process data
with instance ID.

Note that parameters for original repeated ID process such as
``repeated_id_process`` are deprecated in
ver 1.7. Specify ``sample_id_generator`` to the
role whose sid to be kept. For instances, when
``sample_id_generator`` is set to Guest(default),
Guest's data is

    sid, id, value
    123, alice, 2
    125, alice, 3
    130, bob, 4

In Host, you data is

    sid, id, value
    210, alice, 5
    232, alice, 5
    212, bob, 4

After intersection, guest will get the intersection results:

    sid, id, value
    123, alice, 2
    125, alice, 3
    130, bob, 4

And for Host:

    sid, id, value
    123, alice, 5
    125, alice, 5
    130, bob, 4

All four methods support:

1.  Automatically match ID intersection using ID expanding (when data contains instance id).
2.  Configurable hashing methods, including sha256, md5, and sm3; hash
    operators of RSA intersection can be configured separately, please
    refer [here](../../python/federatedml/param/intersect_param.py)
    for more details.
3.  Preprocessing step to pre-filter Host's data for faster PSI

RSA, RAW, and DH intersection methods support:

1.  Multi-host PSI task. The detailed configuration for multi-host task
    can be found
    [here](../tutorial/dsl_conf/dsl_conf_v2_setting_guide.md#multi-host-configuration).

RSA, DH, ECDH intersection methods also support:

1.  PSI with cache

RAW intersection supports the following extra feature:

1.  base64 encoding may be used for all hashing methods.

Cardinality Computation:

1. Set `cardinality_method` to `rsa` will produce estimated intersection cardinality;

2. Set `cardinality_method` to `dh` will compute exact intersection cardinality


The Love Island winner said she loves the pen salesman and claimed they had had an argument when she said they had split in a post on her Instagram story.
Writing again on Instagram, she said: "Just want to put all comments to bed. All I can say is I'm still 22 trying to get my s**t together and grow into a woman, but doing it in the public eye is sometimes hard and scary, but arguments are arguments and I love him.
The couple have been together for six months, having become an item early on in the ITV2 dating series.
They recently filmed a reality show about their relationship after moving in together.
Dyer's father Danny previously said the couple had not split and she was "immediately regretting" declaring their separation.
"You know what women are like ... I'm just saying she got a little bit irate, screaming and shouting, the ultimate way to punish him, maybe.
He added: "They've had a little argument, as we all do, we all have tear-ups.
In her earlier post, Dani wrote: "Jack and I have sadly decided to part ways. It's been an incredible six months and we will always have a place in our hearts for each other, but we've sadly come to the realisation that it's not meant to be long term.


Changes to OpenInsight 10.0.4 affect "child" process launching in OpenInsight. They can be configured so that they do not consume additional license seats. In particular, CTO, AREV64, BRW, and O4W calls (using the engine server's built-in web server) made from a copy of OpenInsight will not count against the licensed count of users.
This will allow a single user copy of OpenInsight to run the IDE, a CTO session, and generate a BRW report at the same time. Note that this enhancement requires both OpenInsight 10.0.4, and the Universal Driver 5.2.
OpenInsight 10.0.4 will work with the Universal Driver 5.1, but it will not exhibit these license enhancements until it is "paired" with a UD 5.2.
To take advantage of this license enhancement for O4W and engine server tasks, users/developers must update their eserver.cfg file (either directly or through the Settings dialogs). In particular, any passwords that are currently explicitly embedded in the eserver.cfg can be replaced with an asterisk ("*"); this indicates that the specific connection should use the enhanced licensing.
This also has the additional advantage of no longer requiring manual updates to the eserver.cfg file when passwords are changed for the applications or users defined in the connection string. (As an additional enhancement, the username can also be replaced with "*" if you wish to use the 'default user' created for an application).


Place your mail and newspapers on hold....don't let mail and papers piling up announce to would be theives that you aren't home.
If you don't have a home security system at least get some timers to place on your lights and possibly on a radio to give the appearance that someone is there.
Keep shrubs and bushes around your windows and doors trimmed so that there is no place for a would be burglar to hide from sight while attempting to gain access to your house.
Make sure all doors and windows are securely locked.
Disconnect the garage door opener so that would be intruders can't use an opener utilizing the same code as yours to open the door.
Alert a "trusted" neighbor that you will be gone and ask them to keep an eye on your place plus give them your contact phone number in case there is a problem at your home while you are away.
Consider notifying your local police department that you will be out of town as many departments will have the officer in your precinct drive by your home to do a check during your absence.
Think about turning the water off inside of your house in case a supply line or pipe begins to leak while you are gone. Also, this prevents someone maliciously turning on an outside water spigot and leaving it run, or even worse turning the spigot on and placing a garden hose in a window well to flood your basement.
When you load your car to leave, try to load your luggage into the car while its parked inside of the garage. No need to announce to the entire neighborhood that you are leaving.
One of the most important tips.......DO NOT POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA (FaceBook, Twitter, Linked In, etc) THAT YOU ARE GOING OR THAT YOU ARE ON VACATION!!!!!!!!!!! Wait to post those awesome vacation photos and details about your location AFTER you have returned home.
posting all of those fantastic family memories for all to see!
Great tips!!! I never thought about not posting my pics on FB when I was away. That makes great sense. Duh!!! Thanks for the super security tips!
I never thought about turning the water off. There's some kids in my neighborhood that I could see turning the water on and running up a huge bill for me. Thanks man for the info!
Josh, We are glad that our advice could be of some assistance to you.
Thank you Kay, Glad you found some of our tips to be useful.
Hi Doug, We are always pleased to hear when we can save people in our communities money on damages taking preventative steps in securing their homes, and property.
David, you are very welcome! We are always glad to be of assistance. Thank you for those kind words Sir.
No problem Skyla. Glad we could help!
Interesting tips. I'll pass them along.
I always fb & tweet before & during my vacay. I need to stop that!
Hi Ron, I like your Email Handle. I hope they were helpful tips for you.
Hello Deb. Don't be upset with yourself, you would be surprised how common doing that is for Americans. We would like to think those whom we know would never burglarize our home while we were gone, while a good majority of the time this is true, Crime Stats from nearly every state show that most of the time if you are burglarized, often time it is by someone you know or have had in your home.
Hi Susan. Thank you for reading our Blog, I hope that you can find some of the tips offered here of some use to you.
Thank you all for your inquires!

Rita Wilson Diagnosed With Breast Cancer, Has Double Mastectomy

Rita Wilson has revealed she has breast cancer, news she hopes will encourage other women to get a second opinion when it comes to their health.
"No one ever thinks to get [a second opinion on pathology]. That's what saved me," she told The Huffington Post. "I am on my way to full recovery. Feeling stronger every day."
Wilson, who is Huff/Post50's editor-at-large, initially shared the news in a statement to People magazine Tuesday.
The 58-year-old producer, actress and singer told People: "I have taken a leave from the play 'Fish in the Dark' to deal with a personal health issue. Last week, with my husband (Tom Hanks) by my side, and with the love and support of family and friends, I underwent a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction for breast cancer after a diagnosis of invasive lobular carcinoma. I am recovering and most importantly, expected to make a full recovery. Why? Because I caught this early, have excellent doctors and because I got a second opinion."
She explained her condition in detail: "I have had an underlying condition of LCIS, (lobular carcinoma in situ) which has been vigilantly monitored through yearly mammograms and breast MRIs."
She said that, initially, she was told cancer had not been detected. But then a friend convinced her to seek a second opinion.
"Recently, after two surgical breast biopsies, PLCIS (pleomorphic carcinoma in situ) was discovered. I mention this because there is much unknown about PLCIS and it is often found alongside DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). I was relieved when the pathology showed no cancer," she said.
"However, a friend who had had breast cancer suggested I get a second opinion on my pathology and my gut told me that was the thing to do. A different pathologist found invasive lobular carcinoma. His diagnosis of cancer was confirmed by, yet, another pathologist," she said. "I share this to educate others that a second opinion is critical to your health. You have nothing to lose if both opinions match up for the good, and everything to gain if something that was missed is found, which does happen. Early diagnosis is key."
"I hope this will encourage others to get a second opinion and to trust their instincts if something doesn't 'feel' right," she said.
Since helping launch Huff/Post50 in 2011, Wilson has been an outspoken advocate of living life to the fullest after 50.
Just last month, she released a new song and video, "Girls Night In."
"I wanted to capture the joy and glee I experience when I have my girlfriends over and there is complete abandon in our time together," she said at the time. "It's like the circle of love just gets bigger and grows."

The Incident
In May 2013, a prestigious golf/hotel complex caught fire after a cigarette butt was blown between the patio and the timber building. Having witnessed this incident on camera, the insurer wanted to make a claim for their outlay against the individual smoker, who had been standing in the designated area but had failed to dispose of the butt in the metal container provided.
We were able to show that accusing the individual of negligence would not benefit any party, and to start normal negotiations. However, upon examining the policy, it soon became apparent to our experts that the sums insured had inexplicably decreased from the previous year. Although the insurer had provided a renewal letter, there was no indication that the terms surrounding the main items should have been altered.
We were able to commence complaint procedures against the insurer's agent, which led to a settlement mediation rather than an agreement based on the terms of the policy. The client received full reinstatement with an agreed indemnity period, all of which was paid up front and without any of the usual penalties.
