A cloud service provider maintains multiple replicas for each piece of data on geographically distributed servers. In Existing system ,there occurs conflict in shared files,if one member in the group opens the file and editing or do some operations,if another member in the group opens and modifies the same file which is being used by another one then there occurs a conflict. In existing the algorithm used is HAS,heuristic auditing strategy but in proposed we are following Read-after-write consistency allows you to build distributed systems with less latency. As touched on above, without read-after-write consistency you'll need to incorporate some kind of delay to ensure that the data you just wrote will be visible to the other parts of your system.
Cloud computing is a computing term or metaphor that evolved in the late 2000s, based on utility and consumption of computing resources. Cloud computing involves deploying groups of remote servers and software networks that allow centralized data storage and online access to computer services or resources. Clouds can be classified as public, private or hybrid. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network.At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the cloud", also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users. For example, a cloud computer facility that serves European users during European business hours with a specific application (e.g., email) may reallocate the same resources to serve North American users during North America's business hours with a different application (e.g., a web server). This approach should maximize the use of computing power thus reducing environmental damage as well since less power, air conditioning, rack space, etc. are required for a variety of functions. With cloud computing, multiple users can access a single server to retrieve and update their data without purchasing licenses for different applications.
In our paper we are going to develop a model which avoids theconflict in the group where files are shared betweenthe group members.This is achieved by passing the alert message in the group so that the second user must wait until the file is closed by the first user.Secondly the modified part in the file will be immediately visible after the updation achieved by read after write consistency. In our paper we use local consistency auditing.
We propose read after write auditing structure, which only requires a loosely synchronized clock for ordering operations in an audit cloud.In proposed system ,we are going to overcome the conflict . In a way if a file in the share is opened by particular member and if someone in the group tries to opens the same file ,the alert message will sent to the user and then others can see the updation made to file immediately. This provides consistency to the end users in cloud. This will avoid duplicate files in the cloud storage and conflict between the users.
In this section we are going to see the detailed working and the modules used in the paper. In this paper we are going to implement three algorithms.
The RSA scheme is a block cipher. Each plaintext block is an integer between 0 and n − 1 for some n, which leads to a block size ≤ log2(n).The typical size for n is 1024 bits.
The Rabin–Karp algorithm or Karp–Rabin algorithm is a string searching algorithm created by Richard M. Karp and Michael O. Rabin (1987) that uses hashing to find any one of a set of pattern strings in a text.
Read after write is a technique that is used in our paper to provide consistency. In this technique , when a particular user is viewing or editing a file and if suppose other user wants to access the same file, alert message that a particular file cannot be accessed message will be displayed to the user. This means that write operation can be done only after the read operation.
In this auditing, all the user in the cloud is a auditor and everyone will be having the UOT (User Operation Table). All the read and write values of all the user in the cloud will be saved in the UOT.
In our proposed system, database is allocated for the users who can store their files. If a user is a registered user he can go to the login page and access the files. If the user is not registerd he has to go to the admin page and register the details.
A user has to initially login to the cloud to get access to the files. For that the user has to give the username and the password that he has registered for the first time. Or if the user is a new user then he has to go the admin page and register and get the access.
When the user logins he can upload his file in the cloud database from his personal database. This provides replication of files. These replicas allows us to access the file from nearby geographical locations.
When a user uploads a file he can share those files with the other user in the cloud. This is enabled by file sharing. A particular user can share those files with user to whom he wants to. And the other users in the cloud cannot access the file.
When a user wants to edit a file, editor is provided in the cloud and he can edit a file there. A file that is being uploaded may be uploaded anytime and it might needupload. This can be done in the editor that is provided in the cloud.
When a user tries to edit and if a particular user in that cloud who is a shared user tries to access those files then conflict occurs. Proper data will not be saved in the cloud that is the file may be incorrect. To provide consistency, this technique is used. An alert message will be sent to the other user who tries to access that file.
In this paper, we presented a consistency as a service (CaaS) model and read after write technique to help users verify whether the cloud service provider (CSP) is providing the promised consistency, and to quantify the severity of the violations, if any. With the CaaS model, the users can assess the quality of cloud services and choose a right CSP among various candidates, and to quantify the severity of and to quantify the severity of the violations, an do make data visible immediately after modification. This provides the consistency that is needed by the users in the cloud.

The forefront research facilities of high energy physics are colliding beam accelerators. These machines provide the highest achievable interaction energies. Professor Lankford's prior research has exploited colliders at CERN, SLAC, Fermilab, and in Beijing. His UCI collider physics group presently has an experiment at SLAC and is actively involved in developing a new experiment at CERN. An exciting aspect of participation in these large experiments is their international character.
At SLAC, Prof. Lankford's group is part of the BaBar Collaboration, which studies the origins of the non-conservation of charge-parity quantum numbers. This investigation is based upon high-statistics studies of the properties of bottom quarks in electron-positron collisions at the B-factory PEP-II.
At CERN, Prof. Lankford's group is part of the large international ATLAS Collaboration, which is developing an apparatus to study proton-proton collisions using a new facility, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which will provide energies higher than those yet achieved, 14TeV. Starting in 2007, experimentation at the LHC will afford the opportunity to explore physics at mass scales more than an order of magnitude higher than are currently accessible, with the promise to bring exciting new discoveries, even if the precise nature of the discoveries cannot be foreseen.
Professor Lankford's research at colliders has largely focused on studies of the properties of heavy quarks and leptons and on electroweak physics. His studies utilize the detection of leptons as harbingers of rare and interesting physics processes. In addition, he develops new particle detection techniques and electronics systems for his experiments.

Suburban Dirt
Not that kind of dirt. Real dirt, like the stuff pansies (not real pansies) can't stand to get under their expensively-manicured fingernails. That kind of dirt. Or: a diary of Zone 6 gardening in an old-stylee Ohio 'burb.
« Some general information on Suburban Dirt, and phase I of the whole mess... | Main | Mulch -- of the verbal kind. »
Not much to tell, right now...
I'm still looking for somewhere to order a non-climbing Cecile Brunner rose. Who knows why, but apparently the climbing cultivar is very popular and the bush-style one isn't. Weird, especially since the Cecile Brunner bush is as carefree as any old garden rose, and on top of that, fairly compact -- you have to keep pruning it regularly or it gets kind of hairy, but it's mostly a four-by-four bush you could fit in just about anywhere. The climbing version makes thirty feet, according to the description on the gardening sites I've seen. That's lovely, but I don't have anywhere to put thirty feet of climbing rose -- the house isn't that tall, and I'm double damned if I'm getting up on a ladder to prune and tie up a rose that wants to grow up the side of the house and down a chimney or something.
I've found a couple of places that appear to have it in stock, and probably will just go ahead and try ordering on Friday -- one of the places, Antique Rose Emporium, is in Austin, Texas. They say they only take orders November through April (I think), but they'll ship later if you live in a northern zone so you don't plant it just to have it freeze.
That would be nice. The Brunner is supposed to be hardy to Zone 5, but even here in Zone 6 you can't count on the last frost falling any earlier than the end of April. Ideally, you'd plant a new rosebush somewhere around the second week of May. I've seen snow as late as Mother's Day here. It's a rarity, but it did happen here about twenty years ago, and even if it hadn't, or if I didn't remember it, I could hardly forget we had a major snowstorm that dumped a foot and a half on March 13th in 2004, so ...
I called and got an estimate from a local arborist to come and remove the stumps -- they'll be here Friday. We've learned our lesson about impatience, and letting just anybody with a mag-sign on their truck perform quasi-professional services in our yard. We're probably lucky none of the knuckle-draggers who came out and took the trees down in the first place fell out of a tree -- they said they were 'on the clock' and that their employer's insurance would cover them, but I guess it was a little chancy to bet on that, in retrospect.
So a professional, educated tree guy is going to come out and finish the job these yokels screwed up so badly we don't even want their asses on our property to grind down the stumps. I may ask him, if I'm here and he's amenable, if he knows what's wrong with the Atlas cedar. Looking at it, and the browning pattern, I think it may just be frost or wind burn -- the brown needles are all on one side of the plant, and even on the stems that have the browned needles, the wood itself is still flexible. It could be something the thing will 'snap out of,' I don't know. I hope so -- not that you don't pretty much take it on faith that anything you put in the yard can be overwhelmed by diseases, especially here -- because I really like it. I knew when we bought it, it was a gamble. Cedars probably don't like our climate, though I'd seen plenty of them on the web in places like Connecticut and New Hampshire. Usually, they were planted close to or even on buildings or structures, and likely were protected from things like cold wind, ice and other weather conditions that can affect them. The crappy soil could be a problem, too. Up to four inches, it's pretty decent; past that, it's largely clay and rocks.
I don't know -- with the damp weather this year, and the state of the soil here, it could be some fungus or root rot that's hit it, in which case not only will we have to take it out, but I probably ought to consider not planting another one. Root rot is caused by a fungus -- apparently, it's in the soil most places, but the conditions have to be just right for it to take hold, and if they are, it'll do the same thing every time. We've taken out a lot of woody plants since we moved in -- and the state of the yard where we planted the cedar would indicate there was something big and woody growing there, removed before we bought the house.
I don't know, our troglodyte-in-hot-pants, camper parking neighbors took all the trees out on their lot within six months of moving in, except for one mangy-looking maple right in front of their place, so the roots could come from anywhere. As much clay as there is in the soil here, nothing seems to root very deeply and everything seems to send out a lot of surface roots.
We may lose the cedar, and I'll consider it a lesson learned and not plant anything like it away from the house in the future. I'd have had to dig something up to put it near the house when we bought it, though and at the time we weren't really looking to remove and replace anything. As I noted, we didn't so much buy as adopt the thing -- they're kind of sad-looking things, and we both like the way sport-growing things like weeping and curly ornamentals look, especially when you combine them. It's probably more me than my husband, but he was the one who broke, finally, and said, "let's buy the cedar" when we saw it a few years ago. He was the one who made the call on the last cat, too.
The stuff out front is all in decent shape, unless the monkeys who took out the maples managed to kill the corkscrew hazelnut, too (they snapped a few branches on it, but it seems okay, and frankly it's lost branches when the dog's leash got tangled up in it with no lasting effects, so I doubt anything short of completely flattening it would kill it).
Hazel bushes are indigenous to what's left of wild woodlots in Ohio, from what I can gather -- they're common enough in this climate, in other words, though the corkscrew version isn't. It's a not-uncommon genetic sport, though, it's not like it's some exotic variant from a completely different climate that became popular in this zone because somebody on HGTV showed it in an episode or something. It should survive, as should the hollies and the weeping cherry. In fact, with the warmer winter and more sun, the cherry should really kick it out this spring.
So I'll post some pictures after they remove the stumps, and I'll make sure I have the guy's number -- if I ever have to have anything else done in this yard, even if it's more expensive, it's going to be done by somebody who knows what the hell he's doing. If one of us had, say, slid a car over the flowering almond in bad weather, it would be one thing -- when you're paying somebody for a service and they wreck the hell out of your yard, it's entirely another.
Guess I'll have to get out and rustle up a couple more flowering almond bushes, too. I decided instead of replacing that one where it is, I'd rather plant one on each side of the driveway, on the high side of the sidewalk. They're in the "under fifty dollar" range, so the hub doesn't squirm about it (until the Atlas cedar, everything was, including the weeping cherry and the corkscrew hazelnut). They seem to do well enough in the yard, too -- that one was really doing well, growing and blooming every year. Dammit.
C'est la vie -- I feel better knowing somebody else killed it. I've always had a black thumb for indoor plants, but I seem to do okay outside. Theoretically, it's because it's easier to do 'out of sight, out of mind' on outdoor plants. I think I've killed most of the indoor ones with kindness, overwatering them. It's just as well, really -- having four cats in the house, and a small dog, it's difficult to maintain any indoor plants in a visible or prominent spot, because they eat them or knock them over or dig in the dirt anyway. About half the plants you grow indoors are poisonous to animals, besides. Good thing I never had much luck with them -- I don't need the stress of feeling like I should have plants in the house and constantly worrying about whether the cats will destroy them or poison themselves.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A motion to suppress hearing continued Tuesday in the Reno County District Court involving a murder case from 2015.
Brennan Trass is accused of murder for the shooting death of 24-year-old Jose Morales. Morales was found on the floor of his residence back on Aug. 17, 2015.
In court, Trass took the stand in his own defense where he says he felt threatened for his life from former Hutchinson Police Detective Jamie Schoenhoff while being interrogated after the shooting. He claims his statements were coerced.
He's attempting to get those statements suppressed, claiming he was in fear of his life. He even reportedly told his mother to check on him to make sure he was alive. He at one point broke down on the stand.
The state again showed the interrogation video of Trass over the shooting trying to show that all of the statements were made voluntarily.
District Judge Trish Rose denied the motion to suppress and also denied a motion to continue the trial, which is scheduled to begin next Monday.

Can anyone suggest to me places I can legally download tv shows (spongebob, disney cartoons, etc.) and/or recent children's movies to my daughter's fuze? I like how Itunes provides this service for their products, but of couse I can't get the videos on her Fuze.
Nice! I am so in love with online websites where we can watch movies and shows. There is no fixed time for anything and it is possible to watch the shows at any point of time and from anywhere. I am watching Andy Yeatman shows on Netflix now days and having a good time.

A week after I got married in 2016, I had my first day of school at Wharton to pursue my MBA. So many changes in what seemed like a millisecond -- I was a wife, I was now a Philadelphian, and I was in an environment about 10 hours a day where I literally knew NO ONE. Then, I met the queens.
Even though it sounds like a clique (cue Mean Girls,) "the queens" was the title of the GroupMe where I added all the women in my cohort who I vibed with instantly -- I was literally describing each of these people to my husband as "a queen," then decided I wasn't going to be friends with them individually, oh no, we'd all be friends with each other. These women were all bosses in their own right: a branding expert who moved to rural India to help female business owners, a consultant who plays hockey & whose company thinks so highly of her that they are paying for her education, a hilarious chemical engineer who routinely had the only curls at her refinery, a Teach for America fellow who moved abroad to a politically unstable area of the world to teach English, and a ten-year corporate lawyer who, when Hillary lost the election, took a leave of absence from the next quarter of classes to offer her legal mind to the national recount effort. I mean, HELLO. There seriously aren't enough fire emoji's in the world.
Long story short, these women are my core support system at Wharton. They've uplifted me through hard times and celebrated me during good times. I'm forever thankful for them. In fact, they were the early supporters of Broomstick & paid the registration to go to conferences just to be in the audience when I pitched. So it's not a surprise that when they found out I never had a bachelorette party, they took it into their own hands. Yes, more than a year after getting married, I had a fully planned out bachelorette party weekend in Atlantic City, NJ, and I want to share with you all what I learned from it. I don't want to sound complain'y in any way, but I hope everyone reading it can take away something from it.
I love my husband dearly, and lord knows he chipped in ALOT in our wedding planning process. (The ridiculous attitude that men should be hands off with their wedding planning will be saved for another post.) However, over the course of our engagement, my husband had not one, but TWO bachelor parties. So how did I have none?
At the time, a bachelorette party with bridesmaids all over the country living busy lives was completely out of the question for me, especially with all the stress and a never-ending to-do list on my end. I didn't even think a bachelorette was worth the ask or even the thought. But as the wedding drew closer and closer (and stress got higher and higher, and money got lower and lower,) I longed for the opportunity to be formally appreciated and heck, celebrated.
Disclaimer: Austin & I had a phenomenal engagement party brunch in DC planned by my bridesmaid Katy at the beginning of our engagement. We felt celebrated, but I realize now that it's perfectly ok to want all the bells & whistles that come from being a bride with your girlfriends!
Bottom line: people cannot help you if you don't say what you want. It's so easy to keep quiet on what seems like at the time to be a ridiculous request, especially when there are more "serious" tasks to be done. And you also don't want to be seen as high maintenance or as a "bridezilla." However, there is a 100% chance you will not get what you want inside by keeping it inside. My husband had two bachelor parties but was just as busy as me. Maybe he spoke up.
I'm currently reading a book called You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero. (Seriously -- read it NOW! It has single handedly changed my 2017.) In it she talks about a variety of things, but one of my favorite chapters deals with the necessity of gratitude to reach a higher level in life -- not just financially or physically, but emotionally. In order to rise, you have to be grateful for what you already have. Great things are drawn to ALREADY grateful minds who will appreciate their arrival. What a concept!
In the stressful time of wedding planning, sometimes it can get really easy to pity party or be in the dumps about who is SUPPOSED to do things instead of the other people who did them instead. You may be upset that your mom didn't do something everyone (on Pinterest) knows is very mother of the bride-like (but again, referring to my earlier point, did you ask or communicate this was important to you?) or that your sister didn't get with the program that one Saturday, or that your bridesmaids had other things to do the moment you put an update in the Groupme. It's a very emotional time, but know that that can make little, totally normal things other people do seem really big. Check yourself.
Bottom Line: Ask for what you want. Be grateful for who gives you love, no matter who "should have." Be grateful for who you wish stepped up, because they also love you and this entire time could not read your mind.
Somewhere over a cocktail in Caesar's Palace, I realized I'm not used to being celebrated. I had been wondering why when the adrenaline of being picked up in Philadelphia with all my friends in the backseat and being given a pink sash had worn off, I actually felt a weird sense of discomfort. As what usually happens when I'm in a group of my friends, we spent a lot of time talking about things we all were going through. Looking back I realized I probably was doing it as a deflection. Sitting at that bar sipping a cocktail with my best friends, it hit me like a sack of bricks: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LET GO AND LET OTHER PEOPLE CELEBRATE ME. NOT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. NOT A GPA. NOT A GRADUATION. NOT A DATE IN THE CALENDAR. NOT AN AWARD THAT I HAD WON. BUT JUST ME, AS A PERSON. I AM WORTH OTHER PEOPLE'S EFFORT. And I smiled, choosing to emotionally rejoin the party.
Sometimes as very ambitious women, we are used to taking things into our own hands, so this creates an incredibly awkward feeling whenever there's an event (like a bachelorette) that literally relies on other people putting forth very dedicated effort for you. Some of us may even have events in our past that have made us internalize that the only people we can trust is ourselves. This makes bachelorette parties or saying out loud that you want to go to the club for your birthday instead of having a modest dinner at your house hard -- it leaves you wide open to the possibility that people won't come through. Telling yourself you wanted to "keep it small" cancels the possibility that other people notice only 3 people showed up to your birthday. Saying a bachelorette isn't important in the midst of all the things that are stressing you out cancels the embarrassment that maybe, your wedding party or girlfriends won't organize one or fly in for it. So that's the route you take, so other people don't get the chance.
But what I can tell you is this: you need to create the mental space to let others show they love you. When you let go, and enjoy the present, you give yourself the space to internalize something new: that you are worth it, and when given the chance, people will show you.
So yea, having a bachelorette party a year into my marriage was an interesting experience for the books. I learned to be grateful, let go, and ask for what I want, letting others who want to show me love the full reign to do so. And it taught me A LOT about myself. I had a complete blast, and my friends did too!
It's not when you do something, it's how you do it.
Lean into the moment, and you'll have an absolute blast.
If something is important to you, don't convince yourself that it's silly.

Brace yourselves, "Friends." And "Will & Grace." And "ER. " CBS will air the "Survivor" finale from 8 to 10 p.m. May 3, with a one-hour live reunion show hosted by Bryant Gumbel immediately afterward. But this time, no one knows who will walk away with the million.
The votes cast during the last tribal council "have been kept under lock and key so that the outcome can be unveiled live during the final show," the network says. That should juice interest in the series, which has lost some of its more intriguing characters -- the survivor we all loved to hate and, alas, the one with the Beaver County roots.
AMBER AWAY: Amber Brkich was booted from the Outback after failing to crack established alliances. Tina and Keith are joined at the hip, and so are Rodger and Elisabeth. That left Amber and ironman Colby, whose own days seem numbered but who is favored to win by http://www.Intertops.com.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN: Elisabeth suggested at the opening of Thursday's show that the game had become "drastically primal." It was all about the food. Or lack thereof. It also was about the rain that ravaged the Barramundi camp, the muck and the retrieval of a rice can that was as foolhardy as it was necessary.
Perhaps to spare us lingering shots of lethargic, starving players, the episode quickly introduced a ropes-course reward challenge won by Colby. He earned a night at a ranch, a dinner of beef stew, the chance to share a beer with increasingly smarmy host Jeff Probst and a hearty breakfast.
In the TMI (Too Much Information) category, Colby reminded us what happens when a stomach accustomed to teeny amounts of bland rice suddenly encounters real food. Doesn't sound pretty. Later, Colby won immunity by proving himself a slingshot sharpshooter.
That opened the door for Amber's exit. She had struck a deal with Mitchell and Jerri, now long gone. Tina criticized Amber for acting like a spy plane -- in other words, flying under the radar.
CLASSY CLOSE: Say what you will about Amber's friendship with Jerri. When her time came, she went out on a high note. "I'm going to be thinking about you guys a lot. You're going to be in my prayers and thoughts, and I just hope you guys stay warm and keep your spirits up," she said.
BACK AT HOME: The Web site http://thesmokinggun.com/ reports that Keith ran up debts close to $275,000 and filed for bankruptcy in June 1998. ... Elisabeth is engaged to her Boston College quarterback boyfriend, Tim Hasselbeck.

"Find entire parts of your campus … that don't need to be there," Bevin said in a speech to a higher education conference. "Either physically as programs, degrees that you're offering, buildings that … shouldn't be there because you're maintaining something that's not an asset of any value, that's not helping to produce that 21st century educated workforce."
Bevin acknowledged such comments would be seen as "sacrilege" by some.
It's not the first time Bevin has urged the state's colleges and universities to refine course offerings to create more graduates moving on to jobs "that matter" and are in demand.
"If you're studying interpretive dance, God bless you, but there's not a lot of jobs right now in America looking for people with that as a skill set," he said Tuesday.
In comments that echoed an earlier snipe at French literature students, Bevin said educators from middle school on up need to do a better job of steering students toward high-demand jobs. They need to stop perpetuating "this idea that simply going to college is enough," Bevin said. A college degree isn't sufficient if students "aren't studying the right things," he said.
"There's a whole lot of kids sitting in their parents' basements and competing with people for jobs that are minimum wage or a bit better who have four-year degrees, some of them graduate-level degrees," he said. "Some from the very universities that you all represent."
Bevin has made workforce development a priority of his tenure as governor. He said Tuesday he wants Kentucky to become the nation's engineering and manufacturing epicenter, and urged the state's engineering programs to embrace the challenge.
"I challenge you to say to yourselves, 'If we're graduating 250 people out of our engineering school … why is it 250 and not 1,000? And what are we going to do between now and 2030 and a whole lot sooner to make sure it's 1,000?' " Bevin said.
The University of Louisville's interim president, Greg Postel, said the school's engineering program has been growing, and continuing on that trajectory would be a "natural fit."
"Universities have to be aware of where the jobs are, and that has to advise us as to which programs we choose to grow and put resources in," he said in an interview after Bevin's speech.
Asked about Bevin's suggestion that universities look for academic programs to eliminate, Postel said: "That requires an awful lot of thought before one would do something that dramatic."
Bevin and the state legislature approved cuts of 4.5 percent, or about $40 million, from the state's public colleges and universities in 2016. The institutions have responded by raising tuition.
Since 2008, state officials have cut state funding for colleges and universities by more than $200 million. Public colleges and universities get most of their money from other sources, including tuition, fees and grants.
During a Facebook Live Q&A session, Gov. Matt Bevin answers a question about the potential for a mass exodus of Kentucky teachers if major changes are made to their pension plan. "If you happen to be a teacher who would walk out on your classroom,

February 6, a very important day for the Chaplaincy of Saints Peter and Paul in Torrevieja
By Linda Hall • 06 February 2022 • 23:06
CELEBRATORY LUNCH: The Chaplaincy of Ss Peter and Paul in Torrevieja commemorates the Queen's accession to the throne Photo credit. Chaplaincy of Ss Peter and Paul, Torrevieja
HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II celebrated the 70th anniversary of her Accession to the Throne on February 6.
The Church of England in the Torrevieja area held a special service at 11.30 am in La Siesta Church which included prayers, a reflection and hymns to celebrate the special day.
"It is a most important day not only for the United Kingdom but for all who look to Queen Elizabeth as head of the Commonwealth," Fr Richard Seabrook, the priest for the English-speaking Chaplaincy of Ss Peter and Paul in Torrevieja, said.
"It is right that we should give thanks to Almighty God for this," Father Seabrook maintained.
"Not only does the Queen play an important part in the Church of England, she exemplifies Christian service and her faith is at the heart of her life," he said. "We also give thanks for her steadfastness and devotion, commitment and example over 70 years. It is an historic day and it is right to proclaim, with jubilation, God save the Queen," Fr Seabrook declared.
The service concluded with the National Anthem in its three-verse version, and all those who were in the area were invited to participate in Accession Day with a lunch at a local restaurant.

Long Weekend - Ramblings of Mad Shutterbug & the Border Collie Bros.
Wrapped up the work week by circulating for Ortho, and then some other service. All in all, an OK week.
Herself is off to TMT (SCA event) this weekend. I've got Ranch Watch, feeding the Triple Bellas. Went OK yesterday evening for late feeds; we've been getting them used to me yet I've not been actually providing the feeds. Proved not to be a problem.

Woke this morning with lower back spasms. Ever since Mr. Stone I'm somewhat paranoid/hyper-aware of where/which muscle group is spasming. There is an old, old injury on x-ray, and in the same anatomical vicinity as the kidneys. Still a recurrence of Mr. Stone is possible. Back feels better now, after sitting for a bit. Not happy, yet better.
Today is going to be Feed Ranch, Feed Run, Feed Triple Bellas, and in between all that fit in some Photo Work. Two things to work on, the post production and some items for Camera Club. Theme is Texture.
Hope whatever is brewing in your back eases off and stays away. Either one is painful!
Isn't staying hydrated on teh Ranch (in or out of heat) which is problem. Is staying hydrated in OR at Hospital.

Women want same rights as guns... Knock Knock - Off Topic

If women were regulated like guns
by Tom Knighton
It's inevitable.
Anytime a woman on the left seeks to make a point about abortion or anything else or take a shot at the Second Amendment, if not both, she makes a comment about how she wishes she had as many rights as a gun.
Of course, anyone who understands the gun laws in this country knows how idiotic a statement like this actually is.
Well, over at National Review, Charles Hilu paints a picture of what it would be like if guns and women were treated similarly.
Men would need a permit to bring women outside the home.
While Bruen made it unconstitutional for the government to require people to demonstrate a need to carry guns beyond their doorstep, most states in the union require gun-owners to possess concealed-carry permits. The requirements for these permits vary from state to state, but most require applicants to be a minimum age (usually 18 or 21) and take a class on firearm safety. Putting such regulations on women going beyond their doorstep would seem more fitting for a country like Afghanistan than for the United States.
Women would not be allowed to attend school.
We often hear about gun-free zones after school shootings. The Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 criminalizes the possession or discharge of a firearm in a school zone. If we were to treat women like guns, K–12 schools would become "woman-free zones." Similarly there are many college campuses that do not allow students to carry on campus. There were times in our country's history when men and women were not allowed to attend school together, and those were not good times. Progressives describe the decision in Dobbs as "going backwards," but that would be more apt if we treated women the same as guns.
Hilu also notes that women could be bought or sold, since guns are treated as property and if women truly wanted to be treated like guns, they, too, would be property as well.
The truth is that women really don't want any such thing. No one should. It's awful.
Now, Hilu is making a case about abortion, which I'm not interested in discussing here. What I am interested in, however, is trying to dispel the myth that leads to these kinds of inane comments.
You see, when people make this claim, it's because they've been told that guns are easy to access and virtually unregulated in the United States.
Now, compared to most of the world, that certainly seems to be the case, but only comparatively. There's plenty of regulation of firearms in this country, as noted previously. Women and their uteruses — another version of this involves comparing their reproductive organs to guns — aren't regulated in any such way.
If you want to make a case about abortion, then do it. But don't do so by pretending that the Second Amendment provides a non-sentient tool with rights far, far greater than you, as women, actually possess.
Second Amendment rights are already heavily regulated, far beyond where most seem to think. I refuse to allow the misconception to exist unchallenged.
Guns Have More RIGHTS than Vaginas!?!...America's Great Shame!?!

Gandhinagar Smart City's citizen complaints remain unresolved due to limited purview
GMC launched a toll-free helpline for citizen grievances redress service in December, and so far received 1,555 complaints of which 1,247 or 80% of the total are yet to be resolved.
Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation (GMC), which launched a toll-free helpline for citizen grievances redress service in December, has so far received 1,555 complaints of which 1,247 or 80% of the total are yet to be resolved. According to GMC officials, the delay is caused because the kind of the complaints it has received does not fall under its limited purview as a civic body.
"We have received 1,555 complaints related to civic issues so far after the toll-free number 1800-108-1818 was launched on December 2 last year. We have resolved 281 of these complaints while we are in the process of resolving 27 complaints. The remaining 1,247 are yet to be resolved," a senior officer in GMC said.
He said that the delay is because the highest number of complaints are related to issues like drainage and water-supply. "Water supply and drainage do not fall under GMC purview. They are under the purview of the capital development project of the state urban housing department," the official said. Prior to the creation of GMC in 2010, the state government had formed the capital development project department to carry out development works and to address civic issues of the capital city. This department is a part of the state urban housing department.
The helpline was launched under Gandhinagar Smart City Development Limited's (GSCDL) project of Integrated Control and Command Center (ICCC). GSCDL — a special purpose vehicle — has been entrusted with various area-based development projects like laying of stormwater drainage, construction of community toilets, underpasses, smart roads, four-laning, revamping of anganwadi and amusement parks and also creation of the ICCC, a part of the capital development project.
"So we have to forward complaints related to drainage and water supply to the capital development project where it keeps piling," the official said and added that the 281 complaints disposed of were related to garbage collection which have been quickly resolved as it falls under the GMC.

Advice for Attending a Soccer Game in El Salvador
Last night I went to see the El Salvador National Soccer team play against Haiti. Now I have been to other soccer games, here in El Salvador and in Costa Rica, but they were nothing compared to last night in Vietnam, as they call the section where we sat. I went with a group of people from church, mostly pastors, and we paid $3.00 a ticket to watch two games. The first game was the Sub 20 National teams of El Salvador and Mexico. So here is my advice if you are going to watch a game in El Salvador and sit in general admission.
1.) Wear an EL Salvador Selecta Shirt
You might think that wearing a shirt that is the same color as the team is good enough, it is not. We arrived early enough that, thankfully, we were only yelled at. However, as more people came the 500+ people in general admission would all stand up and start yelling all kinds of things and throwing everything under the son until the person is soaking wet and removes their shirt, whether you are a women or man. The guys would take the shirts off but the none of the girls did however they were drenched with beer and water as they tried to get a seat.
2.) Sit as close to the top as possible
The closer to the top the less chance of being hit with something or soaked in water or beer.
3.) Don't let hundreds of police dressed in riot gear give you a sense of security
You would think that having that many police would make you feel secure; wrong. We sat and watched a huge fight start and we jumped behind a police for protection and he said, "We aren't going to do anything until they start hitting one another." That did eventually happen and the police did arrest some people. I was shocked at how far the Police allowed things to get.
4.) Do every single cheer/dance/ect.
If you don't do the cheers, the wave, or all the other crazy things that they do you, in turn will be the bad guy and have stuff thrown at you.
5.) Don't sit in general admission if you look like you could be a supporter of the opposing team.
This one group of Salvadorans came in but a black guy was with them. He was hispanic but not from El Salvador. Of course because they were playing Haiti you can imagine the things they said to that poor guy. They yelled at him until he took his shirt off, soaked him down, and hit him as the police watched and did nothing. One of the men sitting near to us told me if I come to see USA play against El Salvador I should spend more money and buy a ticket on the other side for my safety. That is some good advice but I think it would be better to stay home and watch that one.
Besides all the craziness it was a cultural experience that I will never forget. Even though I felt my life was in danger, at times, I had a blast and El Salvador won 1-0.

If you want to attract and retain top quality staff - and who doesn't? - maybe it's time to consider some different approaches. For instance, is the best way to get things done really via a routine of nine-to-five every day in a single place of work? And is there more you could do to get the very best out of your people by helping them create a happy and healthy work-life balance?
The option to work flexibly is consistently shown in research as one of the most prized benefits. It's also the one that's most likely to retain and motivate existing staff. Gradually, the focus is beginning to shift away from traditional working patterns, in response to UK population trends like the rising number of working mothers in the UK, the increase in pension age, the rapidly ageing population – and the emergence of the so-called 'sandwich generation' where individuals are called upon to care for both their children and elderly relatives. Modern service-based jobs are significantly different to the manufacturing jobs of the past, technology has improved and become widely available and people work differently.
• 53% of employees would rather have flexible working over a 5% salary increase.
a new role is particularly true amongst parents of young children and with adult dependants.
• 63% wanted flexible start and finish times.
Interestingly, the most significant benefit for businesses embracing flexible working is greater productivity. In a recent study 92% of employers believed that those who work flexibly are just as, if not more, productive than those who work regular hours.
The other benefits cited were attracting and retaining top talent, a better work-life balance and happier employees. A report by Vodafone showed profits increased thanks to the practice, while Inc. reported that stress increased without flexible working, which in turn reduces profitability.
Flexible working has a wide number of permutations: flexi-hours, term-time working, annual hour working, job-sharing, 9-day fortnight, 4.5-day weeks, on-call working, zero-hours contracts.
For any of them to work, the business will need to trust its employees to take accountability of their own workload and time management to get things done, whether this is at 9am in the office or 9pm at home.
For expert advice on creating flexible working arrangements that work for both your business and your employees, and staying within the law if you have a flexible working request, contact The Human Resource today on 07884 475303.

Gli ptolemaiidi (Ptolemaiida) sono un ordine di mammiferi estinti, poco conosciuto e dalle incerte affinità, che annovera alcune specie fossili rinvenute in terreni dell'Eocene e dell'Oligocene dell'Egitto (38-33 milioni di anni fa) e del Miocene del Kenya (23-12 milioni di anni fa).

Dentature bizzarre, corpo sconosciuto
Da quel poco che si conosce (soprattutto grazie a recenti ritrovamenti), gli ptolemaiidi dovrebbero essere stati animali della taglia di uno sciacallo ma più robusti, pesanti forse una quindicina di chilogrammi. Il genere Kelba, l'ultimo a scomparire, possedeva un cranio massiccio dotato di una dentatura bizzarra, che fa pensare a una dieta insettivora. Il forte rivestimento sui molari, però, fa supporre anche che si cibasse di materiale notevolmente abrasivo, forse piante graminacee. La forma del corpo di questi animali, tuttavia, è pressoché sconosciuta.

Le prime scoperte e classificazione incerta
Questi strani animali, noti principalmente per materiale cranico, combinano caratteristiche molto diverse tra loro, come una dentatura primitiva di tipo tribosfenico e alcune specializzazioni mai viste in altri gruppi di mammiferi. I primi resti fossili di questi animali furono descritti nei primi del '900 da Henry Fairfield Osborn, che battezzò Ptolemaia lyonsi una mascella proveniente da El Fayum e risalente all'Eocene superiore.

Lo stesso Osborn rimase perplesso di fronte al miscuglio di caratteristiche, e ritenne che Ptolemaia potesse rappresentare un ordine di mammiferi precedentemente sconosciuto alla scienza. Da allora, altri resti attribuiti agli ptolemaiidi sono stati rinvenuti nella stessa zona, e sono stati ascritti ai generi Ptolemaia, Qarunavus e Cleopatrodon. In ogni caso, la sistematica e la classificazione di questo strano gruppo è sempre rimasta misteriosa: alcuni li hanno inclusi tra gli insettivori, altri nel primitivo gruppo dei pantolesti, altri li hanno ritenuti un ordine a parte.

Nuovi ritrovamenti
Negli anni '60 vennero scoperti tre denti simili a quelli degli ptolemaiidi negli strati del Miocene inferiore del Kenya, che vennero descritti come Kelba quadeemae. La scarsità di questi resti non permise una precisa classificazione, almeno fino al 2006, quando vennero rinvenuti altri resti più completi del misterioso animale. Il cranio di Kelba, in effetti, era molto simile a quello degli ptolemaiidi vissuti milioni di anni prima in Egitto. La distribuzione temporale di questo strano gruppo di animali, quindi, è stata spostata in avanti di oltre 20 milioni di anni.

Possibili parentele
Nonostante non siano note le affinità degli ptolemaiidi, la loro unica morfologia e distribuzione in una grande area dell'Africa porta a pensare che questo gruppo abbia avuto un'origine africana. Alcuni scienziati pensano che gli ptolemaiidi possano far parte degli afroteri (Afrotheria), un grande gruppo di mammiferi che include anche gli ordini Proboscidea (elefanti), Hyracoidea (procavie o iraci), Sirenia (manati e lamantini), Macroscelidea (toporagni-elefante), Tubulidentata (oritteropo), Tenrecidae (tenrec e potamogale) e Chrysochloridae (talpe dorate), più i due ordini estinti Desmostylia (tra cui Palaeoparadoxia) ed Embrithopoda (tra cui Arsinoitherium).

First of all, this was my 10th visit to Las Vegas. For most people visiting a place ten times means they really love it, and I do. For this trip I did something different. I stayed off the strip at Green Valley Ranch Resort & Spa. And guess what? It felt like Paradise!
Now don't get me wrong, I love Las Vegas and the strip, because if I didn't, I would not have gone back 9 additional times. Green Valley Ranch Resort is bringing something different to Vegas visitors – the property is providing that luxury resort component while still being in the Las Vegas area. Located just 8 miles from McCarran International Airport, Green Valley is going to blow you away with their amenities, activities and gaming space while also giving privacy to you while staying at the hotel.
The property here is Mediterranean inspired and the architecture exudes those qualities. From the moment you pull into the circle drive, you are greeted with gorgeous landscaping, warm smiles and perfect customer service. You almost feel like you walked into paradise, an urban one. Walking into the lobby you'll find chic colors of black and white with arched columns throughout. The presentation of the lobby and staff upon arrival sets the mood for the rest of your stay – and guess what? It is going to be fabulous!
During my stay I checked into a Deluxe King Room that offered a generous amount of space at 495 sq. feet. The room itself was adorned in modern contemporary decor throughout offering a plush king size bed, 42 inch TV, desk area, sitting area, vanity, minibar, spacious closet, robes, and a separate bathroom with a soaking tub and shower. I did not have a balcony because of how my room was situated, however I could see the sunrise from the window.
The resort has a plethora of dining to offer its guests on property, even more reason to never leave should you not want to. With eight sit down restaurants including a steak house, Italian, a buffet, and more. In addition, there are some quick stop fast food options and a Starbucks on the gaming floor because guests are often coming and going. During my stay I ordered room service breakfast one morning – and I have to admit, the food was incredible. I ordered a yogurt parfait and it was not overly sweet, the granola was sensational and as a result everything worked well together on flavors.
The hotel has a lot to offer its guests from pools, spa, gaming, bars, concerts, and movies. You could stay on site during your entire trip and never get bored because the property is that big and has that much to offer its guests.
The "Backyard" at Green Valley Ranch Resort is an 8 acre area for guests to enjoy with cabanas, an adult only pool (The Pond) and a sand bottom swimming pool, as a result giving you that true beach feel right in the desert.
The casino is one of the prettiest I have ever been to and they offer over 2,000 games around the clock. I highly recommend hitting the sports bar for $2 margaritas (and I was skeptical) because $2 drinks anywhere usually means "watered down" but alas, I was wrong. Two of those drinks and you are good to go.
LOVED my stay at Green Valley. I had been wanting to stay here for about two years to try something off the strip and I absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the Las Vegas area. The property is very spacious and really has it all – you could spend your entire trip here and never leave. If that inclusive resort feeling is important to you, this is your next Vegas stop.
Oh wow, the feel of this place doesn't scream Vegas at all!
right?! That is exactly what I love about it.
