Two gamma- and UVC-resistant bacterial strains, designated JSH3-1T and 9-2-2, were isolated from garden soil in South Korea. Cells were Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile and spherical. A polyphasic approach was used to study the taxonomic properties of strains JSH3-1T and 9-2-2. Phylogenetic analysis based on nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains JSH3-1T and 9-2-2 indicated highest similarity with Deinococcus radiomollis PO-04-20-132T (94.7 and 94.9 %, respectively); levels of sequence similarity with the type strains of other Deinococcus species were less than 94.0 %. Strains JSH3-1T and 9-2-2 shared relatively high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.7 %) and had a high DNA reassociation value of 81±0.5 %. Meanwhile, they showed low levels of DNA reassociation (<25 %) with other closely related species of the genus Deinococcus . The two strains showed chemotaxonomic features typical of the genus Deinococcus , with the presence of menaquinone 8 as the respiratory quinone. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C17 : 0, iso-C13 : 0 and anteiso-C13 : 0. The polar lipids comprised phosphoglycolipid, aminophospholipid, glycolipid and unknown aminolipids. The DNA G+C contents of strains JSH3-1T and 9-2-2 were 62.0 and 61.9 mol%, respectively. On the basis of their phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, and phylogenetic distinction, strains JSH3-1T (=KCTC 33790T=JCM 31311T) and 9-2-2 (=KCTC 33789=JCM 31310) should be classified within a novel species of the genus Deinococcus , for which the name Deinococcus ruber sp. nov. is proposed.

Wen-Ming Chen, Pei-Bei Xie, Chiu-Chung Young and Shih-Yi Sheu
Strain AHQ-12T, isolated from a freshwater lake in Taiwan, was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. Cells of strain AHQ-12T were Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, non-motile, non-spore forming, straight rods and formed translucent white-coloured colonies. Optimal growth occurred at 20 °C, pH 6.0 and with 0 % NaCl. The predominant fatty acids were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and C16 : 0. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8, and the DNA G+C content was 50.4 mol%. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and several uncharacterized aminophospholipids and lipids. The major polyamine was cadaverine. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that this isolate was unique, showing less than 91 % sequence similarity to its closest relatives, including members of the genera Ralstonia (89.7–90.8 %), Cupriavidus (88.8–90.3 %), Polynucleobacter (88.2–89.5 %), Burkholderia (86.6–90.3 %) and Pandoraea (89.2–90.1 %). Phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that strain AHQ-12T formed a distinct clade closely related to species of the family Burkholderiaceae . On the basis of the phylogenetic inference and phenotypic data, strain AHQ-12T should be classified as a novel species of a new genus in the family Burkholderiaceae , for which the name Formosimonas limnophila gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AHQ-12T (=BCRC 80690T=LMG 27847T=KCTC 32501T).

Sooyeon Park, Min-Ji Ha, Sun Young Yoon, Yong-Taek Jung and Jung-Hoon Yoon
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, aerobic and coccoid, ovoid or rod-shaped bacterium, designated GHTF-24T, was isolated from a tidal flat on the South Sea, South Korea, and subjected to polyphasic taxonomic study. The novel strain grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 2.0–3.0 % (w/v) NaCl. In the neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain GHTF-24T fell within the clade comprising the type strains of species of the genus Roseovarius . Strain GHTF-24T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.0 % to each of Roseovarius halotolerans HJ50T and Roseovarius pacificus 81-2T and of 91.6–96.5 % to the type strains of the other species of the genus Roseovarius . Strain GHTF-24T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c as the major fatty acid. The major polar lipids of strain GHTF-24T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content of strain GHTF-24T was 62.3 mol%, and its mean DNA–DNA relatedness values with the type strains of R. halotolerans and R. pacificus were 13–16 %. The differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain GHTF-24T is separated from other recognized species of the genus Roseovarius . On the basis of the data presented, strain GHTF-24T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Roseovarius , for which the name Roseovarius aestuariivivens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GHTF-24T (=KCTC 52454T=NBRC 112420T).

Young-Ok Kim, In-Suk Park, Sooyeon Park, Bo-Hye Nam, Yong-Taek Jung, Dong-Gyun Kim and Jung-Hoon Yoon
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated RA2-7T, was isolated from a mussel (Mytilus edulis) collected from the South Sea, South Korea, and subjected to a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. Strain RA2-7T grew optimally at 20 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 2.0–3.0 % (w/v) NaCl. The phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain RA2-7T belonged to the genus Colwellia . Strain RA2-7T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 98.3, 98.0 and 97.5 % to the type strains of Colwellia sediminilitoris , Colwellia aestuarii and Colwellia polaris , respectively, and of 94.5–96.5 % to the type strains of the other species of the genus Colwellia . Strain RA2-7T contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c) and C16 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids detected in strain RA2-7T were phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content of strain RA2-7T was 39.0±0.04 mol% and its DNA–DNA relatedness values with the type strains of C . sediminilitoris , C. aestuarii and C. polaris were 14–19 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together with its phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain RA2-7T is separated from recognized species of the genus Colwellia . On the basis of the data presented, strain RA2-7T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Colwellia , for which the name Colwellia mytili sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RA2-7T (=KCTC 52417T=NBRC 112381T).
Achromobacter aloeverae sp. nov., isolated from the root of Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f.
Nattakorn Kuncharoen, Yuki Muramatsu, Chiyo Shibata, Yuki Kamakura, Yasuyoshi Nakagawa and Somboon Tanasupawat
Two Gram-staining-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria, designated strains AVA-1T and AVA-2, were isolated from the root of Aloe vera (L.) Brum.f. derived from Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. The strains contained cytochrome oxidase and catalase activities. They grew in 4 % (w/v) NaCl, at a pH range of 6.0–9.0 (optimally at pH 7) and at 20–42 °C (optimally at 30–37 °C). The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone with eight isoprene units (Q-8). The major fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C17 : 0 cyclo. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strains represent a species belonging to the genus Achromobacter and are closely related to Achromobacter xylosoxidans NBRC 15126T (98.80 %), Achromobacter insolitus LMG 6003T (98.64 %), Achromobacter aminicus LMG 26690T (98.59 %), Achromobacter pulmonis LMG 26696T (98.58 %) and Achromobacter insuavis LMG 26845T (98.58 %). The DNA G+C content of strain AVA-1T was 66.5 mol%. The novel strains had low DNA–DNA relatedness values with related type strains. On the basis of the phenotypic and genotypic data obtained, the strains clearly represent a novel species, for which the name Achromobacter aloeverae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain AVA-1T (=LMG 29108T=NBRC 111463T=PCU 352T=TISTR 2383T).
Halodesulfovibrio spirochaetisodalis gen. nov. sp. nov. and reclassification of four Desulfovibrio spp.
Y. Shivani, Y. Subhash, Ch. Sasikala and Ch. V. Ramana
An antibiotic-producing, obligate anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-negative strain (JC271T) was isolated from a marine habitat and identified, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, as a novel member of the family Desulfovibrionaceae . The closest phylogenetic relatives of strain JC271T were found to be Desulfovibrio marinisediminis C/L2T (99.2 %), Desulfovibrio acrylicus W218T (98.7 %), Desulfovibrio desulfuricans subsp. aestuarii (98.6 %), Desulfovibrio oceani subsp. oceani (98.0 %), Desulfovibrio oceani subsp. galatae (98.0 %) and other members of the genus Desulfovibrio (≤91.9 %). To resolve its full taxonomic position, the genomic sequence of strain JC271T was compared to available genomes of the most closely related phylogenetic members. Average Nucleotide Identity scores and DNA–DNA hybridization values confirmed that strain JC271T represents a novel genomic species. Iso-C17 : 0, iso-C17 : 1ω9c, and iso-C15 : 0 were found to be the major (comprising >10 % of the total present) fatty acids of strain JC271T. Phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and unidentified lipids (L1-8) were the polar lipids identified. The G+C content of strain JC271T was 46.2 mol%. Integrated genomic and phenotypic data supported the classification of strain JC271T as a representative of a novel genus, for which the name Halodesulfovibrio spirochaetisodalis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC271T (=KCTC 15474T=DSM 100016T). It is also proposed that Desulfovibrio acrylicus W218T is the latter heterotypic synonym of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans subsp. aestuarii Sylt 3T. Desulfovibrio desulfuricans subsp. aestuarii Sylt 3T should also be elevated as Halodesulfovibrio aestuarii comb. nov. and Desulfovibrio marinisediminis reclassified as Halodesulfovibrio marinisediminis comb. nov. Desulfovibrio oceani subsp. oceani should be reclassified as Halodesulfovibrio oceani subsp. oceani comb. nov. and Desulfovibrio oceani subsp. galateae as Halodesulfovibrio oceani subsp. galateae comb. nov.

Vera I. Safronova, Irina G. Kuznetsova, Anna L. Sazanova, Andrey A. Belimov, Evgeny E. Andronov, Elizaveta R. Chirak, Yuri S. Osledkin, Olga P. Onishchuk, Oksana N. Kurchak, Alexander I. Shaposhnikov, Anne Willems and Igor A. Tikhonovich
Gram-stain-negative strains V5/3MT, V5/5K, V5/5M and V5/13 were isolated from root nodules of Vicia alpestris plants growing in the North Ossetia region (Caucasus). Sequencing of the partial 16S rRNA gene (rrs) and four housekeeping genes (dnaK, gyrB, recA and rpoB) showed that the isolates from V. alpestris were most closely related to the species Microvirga zambiensis (order Rhizobiales , family Methylobacteriaceae ) which was described for the single isolate from root nodule of Listia angolensis growing in Zambia. Sequence similarities between the Microvirga -related isolates and M. zambiensis WSM3693T ranged from 98.5 to 98.7 % for rrs and from 79.7 to 95.8 % for housekeeping genes. Cellular fatty acids of the isolates V5/3MT, V5/5K, V5/5M and V5/13 included important amounts of C18 : 1ω7c (54.0–67.2 %), C16 : 0 (6.0–7.8 %), C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (3.1–10.2 %), summed feature 2 (comprising one or more of iso-C16 : 1 I, C14 : 0 3-OH and unknown ECL 10.938, 5.8–22.5 %) and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 02-OH, 2.9–4.0 %). DNA–DNA hybridization between the isolate V5/3MT and M. zambiensis WSM3693T revealed DNA–DNA relatedness of 35.3 %. Analysis of morphological and physiological features of the novel isolates demonstrated their unique phenotypic profile in comparison with reference strains from closely related species of the genus Microvirga . On the basis of genotypic and phenotypic analysis, a novel species named Microvirga ossetica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is V5/3MT (=LMG 29787T=RCAM 02728T). Three additional strains of the species are V5/5K, V5/5M and V5/13.
Marimonas arenosa gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from sea sand
Chutimon Thongphrom, Jong-Hwa Kim, Jung-Hoon Yoon, Nagamani Bora and Wonyong Kim
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, aerobic and short rod-shaped bacterial strain, CAU 1311T, was isolated from sea sand in the Republic of Korea. Strain CAU 1311T grew at temperatures from 20–37 °C, in the range of pH 6.5–10.0, and under various NaCl concentrations from 0–6 % (w/v). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence of CAU 1311T showed that it formed a distinct lineage within the family Rhodobacteraceae as a separate deep branch, with 96.2 % or lower sequence identity to representatives of the genera Marivita , Aestuariivita , Mameliella , Sulfitobacter and Maritimibacter . The major fatty acid was C18 : 1 ω7c and the predominant respiratory quinone was Q-10. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified aminolipid and an unidentified glycolipid. The DNA G+C content was 60.7 mol%. On the basis of genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxanomic findings, strain CAU 1311T could be classified as representing a novel species of a new genus of the family Rhodobacteraceae , for which the name Marimonas arenosa gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is CAU 1311T (=KCTC 52189T=NBRC 111988T).

Ram Hari Dahal and Jaisoo Kim
An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, pink-pigmented bacterium designated strain R491T was isolated from soil. Flexirubin-type pigments were absent. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain R491T formed a lineage within the family Methylobacteriaceae of the phylum Proteobacteria that was distinct from various species of the genus Microvirga , including Microvirgaaerilata 5420S-16T (97.83 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Microvirga zambiensis WSM3693T (97.76 %), Microvirga flocculans ATCC BAA-817T (97.41 %), and Microvirga lupini Lut6T, Microvirga subterranea DSM 14364T, Microvirga vignae BR3299T, and Microvirga guangxiensis 25BT (96.99 %). The major polar lipids of strain R491T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c; 71.2 %), C16 : 0 (12.0 %), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c; 4.7 %), and C18 : 0 (4.2 %). The DNA G+C content of strain R491T was 61.8 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain R491T and other members of the genus Microvirga ranged from 27 to 57 %. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses, strain R491T represents a novel species of the genus Microvirga , for which the name Microvirga soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R491T (=KEMB 9005-408T=KACC 18969T=NBRC 112417T).
Citrobacter europaeus sp. nov., isolated from water and human faecal samples
Teresa G. Ribeiro, Dominique Clermont, Raquel Branquinho, Elisabete Machado, Luísa Peixe and Sylvain Brisse
Strains 97/79T and A121, recovered respectively from human faeces and well water, were compared to currently known species of the genus Citrobacter using genotypic and phenotypic approaches. Multilocus sequence analysis based on housekeeping genes fusA, leuS, pyrG, rpoB and recN, showed that the two strains formed a distinct phylogenetic lineage within the genus Citrobacter . Average nucleotide identity (ANI) between strains 97/79T and A121 was 99.2 %, whereas ANI values of strain 97/79T with the type strains of closely related species of the genus Citrobacter , C. werkmanii , C. braakii , C. freundii , C. youngae and C. pasteurii , were all below 93.0 %. The ability to metabolize different compounds also discriminated strains 97/79T and A121 from other species of the genus Citrobacter . Based on these results, strains 97/79T and A121 represent a novel species of the genus Citrobacter , for which the name Citrobacter europaeus sp. nov. is proposed, with strain 97/79T (=CIP 106467T=DSM 103031T) as the type strain. The DNA G+C content of strain 97/79T is 52.0 %.
Evolution, Phylogeny and Biodiversity
Multigenetic characterization of 'Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis'
Francesco Cicala, James D. Moore, Jorge Cáceres-Martínez, Miguel A. Del Río-Portilla, Mónica Hernández-Rodríguez, Rebeca Vásquez-Yeomans and Axayácatl Rocha-Olivares
'Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis' (or Ca.Xc) is the aetiological agent of withering syndrome, a chronic wasting disease affecting most if not all North American species of abalone, and has been described as a Rickettsiales -like prokaryote. Genetic data regarding this species are limited to the 16S rRNA gene. The inability to grow it axenically has hindered its genetic and genomic characterization and, in consequence, a thorough analysis of its systematics. Here, we amplified and sequenced five genes (16S rRNA, 23S rRNA, ftsZ, virD4 and virB11) of Ca.Xc from infected abalone to analyse its phylogenetic position. Phylogenies from concatenated DNA and amino acid sequences with representative genera of most Rickettsiales unequivocally place Ca.Xc in the family Anaplasmataceae . Furthermore, the family has two reciprocally monophyletic lineages: one leading to ( Neorickettsia , Ca.Xc) and the other to (( Ehrlichia , Anaplasma ), Wolbachia )). A molecular-clock Bayesian reconstruction places Ca.Xc as the most basal lineage in Anaplasmataceae . These phylogenetic hypotheses shed light on patterns of host evolution and of ecological transitions. Specifically, Neorickettsia and Ca.Xc inhabit aquatic hosts whereas the remaining Anaplasmataceae are found in terrestrial hosts. Additionally, our evolutionary timeline places the directly transmitted marine Ca.Xc as the basal Anaplasmataceae , ancestral to both freshwater and terrestrial species with adaptations leading to more complex life cycles involving intermediate vectors or reservoir species; this supports the hypothesis of a marine origin for this bacterial family.

The consequences of Bacillus axarquiensis Ruiz-García et al. 2005, Bacillus malacitensis Ruiz-García et al. 2005 and Brevibacterium halotolerans Delaporte and Sasson 1967 (Approved Lists 1980) being treated as heterotypic synonyms
B. J. Tindall
In a recent publication, data was presented supporting Bacillus axarquiensis Ruiz-García et al. 2005, Bacillus malacitensis Ruiz-García et al. 2005 and Brevibacterium halotolerans Delaporte and Sasson 1967 (Approved Lists 1980) being treated as heterotypic synonyms. The nomenclatural consequences proposed were that under these circumstances the correct name to be used is Bacillus axarquiensis Ruiz-García et al. 2005, but this is not consistent with the wording of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes and it is, therefore, it is necessary to establish the correct name to be used.

This is one of my all time favorite VeggieTales songs, and it's appropriate this time of year.
If you didn't find this on your Gideon DVD, check it out here. Big Idea went to a local high school to find help to play some of the music for Gideon, Tuba Warrior. This clip shows the drum corps playing louder and in synch with the action on the DVD. I like hearing this just to hear how talented the musicians are!
I don't know how many times I've heard this CD. Or at least heard a couple of songs from this CD. This is by far one of the more entertaining of the early CDs. It features both the running commentary (where Bob talks about how every time Larry reads the map they end up at the roller rink, how many Veggies it takes to screw in a light bulb and how many people can fit in a mini-van) as well as the duplicate tracks that can be split so that you can sing the songs without the Veggies singing.
Any of your veggie lovers get this CD? What did you think?

Q: "Invalid cookie path" with Zend\Session when setting cookie_path I'm trying to set the cookie path to my local domain:
$config = new \Zend\Session\Config\StandardConfig();
$config->setOptions(array(
    'cookie_path' => '.jt.martyndev',
));
$sessionManager = new \Zend\Session\SessionManager($config);
\Zend\Session\Container::setDefaultManager($manager);
return new \Zend\Session\Container('jt_sso');

However, I'm getting the following exception:
Type: Zend\Session\Exception\InvalidArgumentException
Message: Invalid cookie path
File: /var/www/jt_sso/vendor/zendframework/zend-session/src/Config/StandardConfig.php
Line: 439

Why is my cookie domain not valid? It's fine. I've used it perfectly well in other apps.

A: I think you are confusing cookie_path and cookie_domain. cookie_path should be set to a path below which the cookie should be valid, e.g. / (the default) or something like /questions/. cookie_domain is the one you set to a hostname.

-> Looking for "How to remove duplicate PHOTOS from your computer"?
With the amount of time we spend using computers today, and the number of files used, it is surprising just how many duplicated files are made over time. This can be bad for a number of reasons - the biggest of which being that these duplicates are taking up valuable space on your computer! It can be a pain trawling through files and folders looking for duplicate files that you don't need, so that is where a duplicate file finder like Duplicate Sweeper comes in!
Using Duplicate Sweeper you can quickly identify and remove duplicate files on your computer. You'll be surprised just how much disk space Duplicate Sweeper can save you! It's fast, easy to use and safe. Duplicate Sweeper is a duplicate file finder for Mac and Windows PC.
Duplicate Sweeper is available as a free demo download for Windows and Mac OSX. The free download version will scan your computer for duplicate photos and other file types completely free of charge.
Duplicate File Finder- The first step is to select which folders you want Duplicate Sweeper to search for duplicates in. You can add any folder you like but Duplicate Sweeper helpfully provides you with check boxes to automatically select popular folders like Documents, Pictures, Contacts and more.
Duplicate Sweeper can find duplicates photos, word documents, Photoshop files - just about any files you can think of!
Duplicate Sweeper will display all the duplicate files found in your selected folders. The duplicates are ordered by total file size - so you can see what is taking up the most disk space on your computer.
For each set of duplicate files, Duplicate Sweeper shows the number of files duplicated and how many files you have selected to delete. In the example here, the file "New Building.jpg" has been found twice. One of these files has been selected to be deleted (shown in red).
For each duplicate set, you can automatically select to keep the newest or oldest file. This selection can be made on individual groups of files, for file types or for all the duplicate groups found.
If you're not sure which file to keep, you can preview files content in Duplicate Sweepers preview panel. Of course all the files in a duplicate group should be the same!
Duplicate File Remover- Click 'Remove Selected Duplicates'.
Duplicate Sweeper will list all the files you have selected to remove.
Once you are happy with your removal selections, clicking the "Recycle Duplicates" button will move all the chosen files to your Recycle Bin (or Trash Can on Mac), so that if needs be, you can easily recover them. Note that the full version of Duplicate Sweeper is required for the software to remove the duplicates based on your preferences.
Final Note: At the moment, the files are still stored on your computer, so disk space has not been saved. To clear the space that the files were taking up on your computer, you'll need to clear them from your Recycle Bin on your desktop (or Trash Can on Mac). Make sure that you are confident that you don't need these files again, as once they are removed from the recycle bin, you will not be able to restore them to your computer.

Why Warren Buffett Is a World-Class Con Man
By geverett
Originally posted December 1, 2015
Updated on July 25 at 8:46 pm
A Note from Alexander Green: When we introduce a new columnist in Investment U, it doesn't usually come with a warning. This one does. I'd like for you to meet my old friend George Everett, a retired money manager. I've known George for many years. He's smart, funny, insightful and way, way beyond "politically incorrect." As you'll see, he doesn't pull any punches. Let us know if you agree with him… or not!
Polls regularly show that investor Warren Buffett is one of the most trusted men in America.
What a crock. The man is an imposter, a four-flusher and a humbug. And I can prove it.
If you're skeptical, maybe that's because – like mushrooms – you've been kept in the dark and fed a lot of horse manure.
Too many people believe what they hear in the mainstream media. They listen to the lying politicians – that's 98% of them – in both parties. And they swallow a lot of nonsense from self-styled investment "experts."
(I'll have a lot more to say on that subject in future columns.)
You might be one of them. In fact, here's a quick test: Who is the bigger louse, Warren Buffett or Tiger Woods?
If you said Woods, get serious.
Yeah, Buffett is sitting on a pile of dough, about $67 billion at last count.
But having a lot of money doesn't make you great. I'm a one-percenter myself. So what? Money isn't the measure of a man. You can never be so rich that somebody can't call you a jackass. And be dead right about it.
Buffett has a great track record. There's no denying that. But he's also a hypocrite. He believes successful business people should pay a lot more in taxes.
Just not him personally.
[iu-adbox]
For example, his holding company Berkshire Hathaway just reported its biggest-ever quarterly profit. A big part of it came from Berkshire's $6.8 billion pre-tax gain in Kraft Heinz.
It might interest you to know that Buffett's $6.8 billion pre-tax gain was also his post-tax gain. Using a complicated accounting trick that I won't bore you with here, he got the cash to show up on the company's balance sheet and income statement but not its tax return.
Now, if I were a shareholder, that's exactly what I'd want Buffett to do: Maximize my profits and minimize my taxes.
But as someone who believes that if you talk the talk you oughta walk the walk, I wish he'd shut his trap about higher taxes. Especially since Buffett also made sure that when Burger King took over Canada's Tim Hortons, it deserted the U.S. and became a subsidiary of a Canadian company.
Nice dodge, Warren.
The truth is Buffett is one of the world's richest men precisely because his fortune is almost entirely untaxed. Berkshire pays no dividends, so Buffett has paid no dividend taxes. He has sold very few shares of Berkshire in his lifetime, so he has paid little capital gains tax.
He's worth tens of billions, but he pays himself only a $100,000 annual salary. So he isn't paying much income tax either.
Yet he swears the rest of us aren't bleeding into enough bottles for the IRS. For that, Warren, I send you my middle-finger salute.
As for Tiger Woods, I don't claim the guy is an angel. But – while his swing is in the tall grass at the moment – he's one of the greatest ever to play the infernal game.
Those of you who are up in arms about his off-course behavior should grow up. Were you married to the guy? If not, what business is it of yours?
And guys, please don't tell me you keep your pants on when you're out so he should too. You've never walked into a room and been introduced as the reigning Masters, PGA, U.S. Open and British Open champion.
If you did, you'd find beautiful women all over the world throwing themselves at you. And since you've never dealt with that before, you can't honestly say what you'd do now, can you?
You girls can stop tut-tutting too. Most women I know couldn't pass up a plate of fresh-baked chocolate-chip cookies if their lives depended on it. So save me the lecture about Tiger's lack of self-control.
In short, Buffett is rich. But he's a phony and – in case you didn't know – he's also for Hillary. So how smart can he be, really?
Tiger, on the other hand, pays his taxes. (He lives in Florida, which doesn't have a state income tax – but then he doesn't argue that it should.) More to the point, when he was running around on his wife he wasn't telling everybody that what this country really needs is more monogamy.
You can have Warren. I'll take Tiger. He's one of the undisputed greats in the history of sports.
Even if there's one club in his bag he still hasn't mastered.
Good investing,
George Everett

As the Peanut Vendor, it's well known that I love peanuts. Some people say I'm "obsessed" with them and that I should "get help." But I have great news—there's someone who loves peanuts even more than me! And that's former professional football player Charles "Peanut" Tillman.
Tillman is partnering with the National Peanut Board for the launch of an exciting new campaign. Some people might call him a sell out for doing something like this, but we all know better. He's not a sell out—he's a Shell Out! And he's helping us share all the different ways you, a peanut-loving American, can #ShellOut for peanuts.
Now, what exactly does that mean? This is something you might be saying to your own reflection right now, and that's understandable. Shelling Out is simple—it just means you do something, anything, to celebrate your love for peanuts. You can do this in private if you want, alone, in front of your reflection, but it's way more fun if you take a photo or video and post it online with the hashtag #ShellOut.
Eat peanut butter for breakfast every day. That's right—every day!
Adopt a rescue dog and name it Peanut. That's heroic...and adorable!
Cover your entire body in peanut butter and take a selfie. Even better, do it with a group of friends. Now that's a spicy Shell Out!
If you're still not getting it, don't worry—simply watch the new video starring Charles "Peanut" Tillman and watch him Shell Out in a variety of nut-crackingly hilarious ways.
You can check out Tillman showing his love for the perfectly powerful peanut on Twitter and Instagram at @PeanutsHere.

This 4-night cruise provides a fascinating taster of Assam, with visits to villages and to the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, where you will drive out on safari in search of the Great Indian One Horned Rhinoceros. It is also available as a 3-night one-way cruise up to Pobitora with road transfer onwards to Kaziranga.
Day 1.Met at Guwahati airport and embark on ABN Charaidew mid-afternoon close to the great Saraighat Bridge. Cruise downstream to an overnight stop close to the south bank village of Viajynagar.
Day 2. After breakfast, disembark and explore a riverside village on foot. Cruise upstream to the little town of Sualkuchi, loud with the clatter of looms, and visit on foot its silk weaving workshops. We shall see the whole process of silk manufacture, from cocoon to spinning to dyeing and finally to handweaving into exquisite saris and dress lengths. We then drive on to Hajo, a place sacred to Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists. We visit a hilltop Muslim shrine with far-reaching views over the surrounding rural landscape, as well as the simple Hindu temple with its frieze of elephants and its sacred tank full of great carp, catfish and turtles. Later we reboard and cruise to an overnight mooring near the Saraighat War Memorial.
Day 3. Cruising upstream, we disembark at Pandu docks and are taken on a short sightseeing tour of the city of Guwahati. Drive up Nilachal Hill to see the holy Kamakhya temple. With its tantric rites and animal sacrifice, the more squeamish may prefer to content themselves with the exterior. Visit the poignant Commonwealth War Graves cemetery as well as a high-class shop selling local crafts. Cross by country boat to the mid-stream Peacock Island with its population of Golden Langur monkeys before re-embarking and cruising for about an hour and a half upstream to Kurua on the north bank.
Day 4. Cruise upstream past jungle-covered hills, and turn into the Mayong River. We cruise up in our country boat for a kilometre or two to the roadhead from where we drive to the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary. This small park has a dense population of the Asian One-Horned Rhinoceros, and we shall be unlucky if we do not spot some of these amazing armoured beasts on a jeep safari around the park. Those departing today are picked up from the park and driven c.4 ½ hrs to Kaziranga National Park. Alternatively, returning to the ship in the afternoon we cruise to a riverside village which we explore on foot before sailing down to spend the last night close to the picturesque Aswaklanta Temple on the North bank opposite Guwahati.
Day 5. Cruise down to the Saraighat Bridge. Disembark after breakfast and transfer to Guwahati airport for final departure.

On adaptivelearnin I have featured Five Minute Friday bits as examples to help you (teachers) incorporate free writing practice. Students often struggle with writing anxiety. Five Minute Friday is a way to help students learn how to write freely without stress and restrictions. I'm excited to start this feature again.
Here's what you need to know to participate in Five Minute Friday. Join in this "writing flash mob" with your students. It's a simple and quick free writing exercise. Read my post introducing Five Minute Friday for details on how to participate. Also, check out how to incorporate Five Minute Friday with creating interactive posters for the "Writing Process".
Set aside five minutes of free writing time to join me on writing about "Write", today's topic. Remember I'm applying my Five Minute Friday posts toward education and work, but you can write about anything about "Write" that sparks your interest.
I find today's topic perfect for restarting the Five Minute Friday feature on adaptivelearnin. I'm excited to join with Lisa-Jo Baker in this great free writing flash mob. I believe Five Minute Friday is a great way for teaching free writing to students. As an ESL teacher, I have too often seen students extensively struggle with writing. Regular practice is key for development.
The great thing I love about Five Minute Friday is that it now only all allows students to practice free writing in five minutes, but it also allows people to comment on each other's posts. Students can comment on each other's writing assignment which is an excellent teachable moment. Teachers can use the comment stream to teach literary forms, verse, writing execution, expressing creativity and the like.
Writing shouldn't be an anxious thing. As a student I always loved writing. As a teacher, I love writing. It saddens me when students struggle. I feel it's our job as teachers to provide them with chances and experiences to help them learn that writing doesn't have to be stressful. Through Five Minute Friday free writing, students can learn to use their mind's to expand their creative voice. Best of all, those students who don't like writing because it makes them so anxious, may even fall in love with writing.
Note: During Five Minute Friday, you are not supposed to stop to make any edits. Free writing without stopping is the purpose. Notice there are errors in my Five Minute Friday writing above. These errors will not be edited because editing them would defeat the purpose of Five Minute Friday. Part of the reason I'm featuring Five Minute Friday on adaptivelearnin is to teach students how to write without anxiety. I want them to see the errors to show them that errors are okay to make during free writing. I want this to be an educational experience for them. Feel free to use this or my other FMF posts as examples in lessons if you wish. You can also follow the Five Minute Friday posts on Twitter with hashtag #FMF. Happy Friday!

What a generous heart you have. You are such a gift to these students who are learning to write–and maybe even to love to write 😉 Bravo, my friend.
Thanks so much. My mission is to inspire a love for writing.

CTF151 Conducts Key Leadership Engagement in Seychelles
Rear Admiral Emre Sezenler, Turkish Navy, Commander of Combined Task Force 151 (CTF 151), visited the Seychelles on 11th September to conduct a series of Key Leadership Engagement (KLE) meetings with the leaders of military and civilian organisations involved in maritime security operations.
The KLE commenced with a courtesy call to the Chief of Seychelles People Defense Forces, Brigadier Leopold Payet, where Admiral Sezenler reaffirmed CMF's continued commitment and maritime support in the region. Admiral Sezenler also expressed his appreciation for Seychelles' support to maritime security and the free flow of commerce. This call was followed by meeting with Acting Attorney General, Mr.David Esparon, during which the legal aspects of piracy were discussed.

The visit also gave Admiral Senzeler an opportunity to discuss the work of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia (CGPCS), currently chaired by the Seychelles Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Barry Faure. CGPCS was created in January 2009 in response to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1851 to facilitate the discussion and coordination of actions among states and organizations to suppress Somali piracy. During this meeting Seychelles authorities were informed about recently promulgated Maritime Security Transit Corrdior (MSTC). The KLE concluded with the visit to the Superintendent of Montagne Posee Prison, which currently detains a number of convicted pirates.

Asked about his visit, Admiral Sezenler said: "Key leadership engagement is an important role for commanders of Combined Task Forces in CMF, allowing us to meet both civilian and military leaders. These visits have enabled us to demonstrate to the Seychelles how much CMF values its ongoing contribution and to discuss further cooperation and capacity building in the region."

The long-term viability of sanitation producers in Bangladesh depends on their ability to meet the demands of consumers who intend to construct, improve or replace their toilets; providing flexible design and price options while also diversifying their business portfolios. Strengthening the supply chain for sanitation products and services in rural Bangladesh requires: working with potentially viable rural sanitation producers, tailored capacity building, business diversification, quality assurance, access to financing, guidance on sanitation options and fair prices. Many people, including the poor, are willing to pay for good sanitation that will satisfy their needs and desires if these products and services are affordable, packaged and marketed appropriately, and if they are easily accessible. To understand current and potential demand and supply for sanitation in rural Bangladesh, iDE and BRAC with support from IRC undertook a rapid assessment in eight upazilas in Bangladesh. These included flood prone, water scarce, high water table, hilly and coastal areas and differed in terms of poverty levels, accessibility and programme interventions (WASH I and WASH II areas). The rapid assessment combined consumer (demand) and market (supply) research based on the 'marketing mix': Price, Product, Promotion and Place. The results of the research were visualized with aid of a 'traffic light dashboard' to visualize the match and/ or mismatch between supply and demand. This section summarizes the main findings from the assessment.

This is a Complaint / Review about Ulta Beauty Gaylord MI.
WARNING TO ULTA CUSTOMERS ABOUT GIFT CARDS & HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!
Think before you purchase a gift card for someone. Be 100% positive that they enjoy buying high end, high priced beauty items.
Once you purchase a %u201CGift Card%u201D for someone, you can not change your mind and get a refund for it. That is STEALING, ISN'T IT? Even though it is unused, and unwanted.
I received an Ulta Gift Card for Christmas.
I went to Ulta Beauty of Gaylord, MI with the unused gift card, and receipt of purchase.
They refused to refund the cash or credit the purchase back to the method of payment.
I then tried emailing the company via the website, and received an automated response stating they would respond within 24 hours.
After 48 hours, I responded to their customer service email, and found that they had %u201CBLOCKED%u201D my email address.
I%u2019ve tried calling, but all you get is %u201Cyour call can not be transferred at this time, please call back at another time%u201D.
They are holding my money for ransom, and trying to force me to buy at least $50.00 in products that I don%u2019t want. ISN'T THIS STEALING??? (TAKING MONEY FROM YOU, AND NOT GETTING ANYTHING IN RETURN) I THINK THAT IS STEALING!!!
I have used the same line of beauty care products for 42 years and don%u2019t intend on changing brands now.
They don%u2019t carry my choice of beauty care products. Not over priced enough for them to carry, I guess.
ALL I WANT IS A REFUND FOR A GIFT CARD THAT I'M NEVER GOING TO USE. NOT AN UNREASONABLE REQUEST!
WHEN THEY SELL A GIFT CARD, THEY SHOULD ADVISE THE CUSTOMER THAT IT IS A NON-REFUNABLE GIFT, BUT THEY DO NOT DO THAT!!!! THEY JUST TAKE YOUR MONEY, AND CARE LESS IF YOU BUY ANYTHING OR NOT.
Thank You for reading of this Complaint / Review. For viewing of other complaints, reviews or scam reports about Ulta Beauty Gaylord MI, press here.


Hosting Site Limit on Memory and Time - Now What?
This is likely the problem. Is there a workaround to this? If not, I will need to ask for a refund.
P.S. Since the "free" script works great, why not modify that software/approach to return the full sitemap report to a customer? You could still charge a fee (for an account or per run). Thanks. I really like your products, just wish they would work.
Re: Hosting Site Limit on Memory and Time - Now What?
please try to set Memory limit and Max execution in sitemap generator settings. If it doesn't work, please PM me your generator URl so that I can check that further.
