Success for Women over age 50?
Congratulations Lizl61 and Mama E! It's good to hear Success Stories from the hormonally challenged. Things continue to evolve for me, but W30 remains my default way of eating - there's magic in following a practice for 30 days. Some say it takes longer than that to cement a new habit, but 30 days worked pretty well for me. Carry on, and check back.
The singing lion is the best thing on facebook in some time - glad to see you appreciated it too. As always, I enjoy your blather and foaming at the mouth. Carry on, Meadowlily, I'm listening.
I hope with my whole heart that she makes it. And because I always think of Lyme when there's a mystery illness, that's what I am thinking of. Around here, it's so prevalent the vets treat for it without a blood test.
Why don't you bring her into the house? The thought of you sleeping on the garage floor again is painful to me.
Those old doggies can surprise us. I'm so happy your dear old doggie has perked up. Go probiotics!
Sending much love to you and your Maw. May the road rise to meet you.
Just have to say one more time - I love reading your stuff, Meadowlily. There's always something that I need to hear - today it's the paragraph that begins... "stop editing." I know you follow your own advice because your spirit shines through your writing.
Clear your head. You don't have to hop on a plane or go backpacking all across Europe to clear your head. Just remove yourself from those negative people and situations of the past. Forgive those who've wronged you but you don't have to ingratiate yourself to them again. Start making new memories. Having too many old negative memories of the past makes it more difficult to make new ones. Making new memories is better than being stuck in the past. And tomorrow has enough worries of its own. This is helpful to me right now, this very minute - because I've been taking a stroll down the part of my memory lane that is paved with razor wire and broken glass and it's time to get off it. Thanks, meadowlily.
Walking around barefoot is the best - and walking barefoot on a beach is the best pedi ever, it grinds off hiker's calluses. Glad you enjoyed the spa-day. I never quite believe the hyperbole about deep cleansing and de-toxing and toning and purification of the skin, but I do love a good facial. Speaking of spa-language, I was about to re-order some lifting and firming moisturizer until I read that it contained "anti-gravitational peptides."
Feels like spring here, and my window is open. I just took a long walk with the dog and decided, nah, no intermittent fasting experiments for me. No supper means I'll go to bed hungry, and that will provoke my inner wild child to throw a food tantrum. We all know what that feels like. IF could work for some people, but here's the truth for me - the longer I follow the practice of having 3 nourishing meals per day, the safer the wild child feels. Onward and upward, y'all..
The woman on the podcast was fasting between 3 PM and 9 AM, I think. She was basically skipping dinner, but a 14 hour fast between dinner and breakfast is the minimum considered an IF and that is pretty easy to do - no food after 7 PM and breakfast at 9 AM.
I'd sure miss you, Meadowlily. Your post on intermittent fasting was timely - I just listened to a podcast about it this morning and was thinking it sounded doable. But we all know it's just another diet and diets never end well. Weather any better? I wish you outdoor walking soon.
I think somebody watched the squirrel documentary! I hope you're able to get back outside soon, Meadowlily. I don't do well in body or mind without a daily hike, and I think we have that in common. Winter is getting old.
Mayo Fail :( Discouraged, please help!
about a teaspoon of mustard and a 1/2 tsp of salt. Hope you like it.

10 Cricketers who overcame physical barriers
Len Hutton continued to fascinate English cricket fans even after he was left with a shortened arm

A look at cricketers who overcame physical challenges to pursue their dreams
The worst thing that can happen to someone is losing the thing that helps her/him earn the bread. The thing about passion is that it does not always bring one an influx of greens and, at the end of the day, it is the only thing that can help in one's quest for survival.For sportspersons, the greatest fear is becoming physically disabled. The hand that feeds them becoming the source of excruciating pain, both mentally and physically, is perhaps the last thing they want.Another thing with sportspersons is that they don't play only to earn money, they do it because they love it. It is one of the fewest professions where almost every professional completely enjoys their work.However, not all of them are lucky enough to play with no physical disability or illness as there are some cases where cricketers have had to overcome such barriers and make a name for themselves. And here are such instances…
#1 Len Hutton
He is widely regarded as one of the best English batsmen to have ever played the game. In fact, some quarters of the England fans believe that he was the most technically sound batsman the United Kingdom has ever had since the Second World War.
However, an unfortunate accident in the gym, while doing commando training during World War II, damaged his arm so badly that he needed an operation and it was 8 months in the hospital before he was discharged.
The result of this terrible event was a shortened left arm, by 2 inches, and this happened just after he broke the then world record of the highest individual score in Tests by scoring 364 runs against Australia at the Oval.
But like all the greats do, his incredible determination and unparalleled mental strength meant that he didn't give up and worked really hard to resurge his career. He later went on to score 14 more Test centuries and also became the first ever professional captain of the England team.

Q: How can I make this copy constructor make a deep copy in java? Heyho, look at this class
public class ComplexFoo {
  TreeMap<String, String> field1;
  double[] field2;

  public ComplexFoo() {
    field1 = new TreeMap<String, String>();
    field2 = new double[1];
  }

  public ComplexFoo(ComplexFoo cf){
    field1 = cf.field1;
    field2 = cf.field2;
  }

  public static void main(final String[] args) {
    ComplexFoo foo = new ComplexFoo();
    foo.field2[0] = 5.0;
    ComplexFoo bar = new ComplexFoo(foo);
    bar.field2[0] = 3.0;
    System.out.println(foo.field2[0]);
  }
}

This prints 3.0. I guess that is because my copy constructor copies only the references to the Array/Map, not the real data structures. What do I have to change to ensure deep copying?
If I write a class that takes a ComplexFoo as a field, will I have to write a copy constructor that uses ComplexFoos copy constructor or is there any kind of recursive deep copying mechanism I can use?

A: This is not a deep copy :
public ComplexFoo(ComplexFoo cf){
   field1 = cf.field1;
    field2 = cf.field2;
}

The new created ComplexFoo instance refers to fields of the instance provided as parameter.
To make a deep copy, you have to create new objects.
TreeMap(Collection) does the job to create a new TreeMap from a Collection parameter. Note that you will not need to clone elements of the TreeMap as the types used as keys-values are actually immutable : <String, String>.
And Object.clone() works well for one dimension array of number primitives values.
So you could write :
public ComplexFoo(ComplexFoo cf){
  field1 = new TreeMap<>(cf.field1);
  field2 = cf.field2.clone();
}

A: You can put null testing and validations:
public ComplexFoo(ComplexFoo cf){
    field1 = new TreeMap<>(cf.field1);
    field2 = Arrays.copyOf(cf.field2, cf.field2.length);
}

Participants at the dedication of an African American Walking Trail in Virginia supported by a 2015 Underrepresented Community Grant.
WASHINGTON – Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell today announced $500,000 in grants to help fund projects across the country to increase the number of listings associated with communities that are underrepresented in the National Register of Historic Places. The grants will assist nine states, two Indian tribes and a local government prepare nominations of properties representing Hispanic Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, women and LGBTQ Americans.
"As America's storyteller through place, the National Park Service is providing diverse groups the expertise and resources needed to protect the places unique to their communities' histories," said National Park Service Acting Director Michael Reynolds.
The grants are supported by Historic Preservation Fund which receives revenue from federal oil leases on the Outer Continental Shelf, providing assistance for a broad range of preservation projects without expending tax dollars.
Grant-supported projects fund surveys and inventories of historic properties associated with communities underrepresented in the National Register, as well as the development of nominations to the National Register for specific sites.
Survey projects receiving grants range from developing inventories of ethnic resources of African American and Hispanic American sites in Virginia and Wisconsin to preparing nominations to the National Register of Historic Places for Asian American sites in California and Texas and tribal sites in Arizona and Washington.
A full list of projects is below.
The Alabama Historically Black Colleges and Universities Survey and Nomination Project would provide a comprehensive survey of extant four-year HBCUs in Alabama. This project has two goals: 1) update existing National Register historic district nominations for five HBCUs in Alabama, and 2) survey and nominate to the National Register of Historic Places four new HBCU campus historic districts in Alabama. The survey will result in updates to five (5) existing National Register nominations and the preparation of four (4) new National Register nominations.
The homeland of the White Mountain Apache people in east-central Arizona on the 1.7-million-acre Fort Apache Indian Reservation and was established by an Executive Order (1871). The primary objectives of this grant will achieve the major goal of the Mount Baldy Project-WMAT to nominate and designate Bashzhine Dzil (aka Dzil Ligai Si'an or Mount Baldy) as a White Mountain Apache Tribal traditional cultural property eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and submission of the National Register of Historic Registration Application document to nominate Dzi&#ł; &#Ł;igai (Mount Baldy Wilderness Area), to the National Register.
Historically, California, because of its location on the Pacific Rim, has always had a substantial number of Asian American and Pacific Islander residents, but resources associated with their history are not well represented in historical resources designation programs and local government surveys, making it difficult to estimate how many resources may exist. The objectives of this project are to increase nominations to the National Register by beginning the process of creating a statewide Multiple Property Documentation Form regarding Asian American and Pacific Islanders in California and to increase the visibility/knowledge of resources associated with the Si'&#á;n community within the general public.
The San Luis Valley is celebrated as the location of Colorado's oldest continuously occupied town, San Luis, established on April 9, 1851. The project will nominate at least four eligible properties to the National Register, thus expanding designations throughout the National Heritage Area, each addressing an aspect of the rich Hispanic heritage of the Valley. Also, intensive field recordation, to include photography, and detailed research in order to prepare draft National Register of Historic Places nominations for at least four properties.
The D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites, three-quarters of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, contains close to 750 landmarks and historic districts. However, only two sites have been listed specifically for their Bashzhine significance. Dzil heritage in Washington from the mid-19th century through the 1990s as reflected in the built environment, identifying and evaluating buildings, sites, and gathering places important to the AAPI communities is the basis of the context statement and resultant local and National Register nominations. The project will increase public awareness of Washington's LGBTQ communities, provide a framework for identifying the various communities and resources within Washington, and contribute to and begin to expand the local and national inventory of sites associated with this underrepresented sector of Washington, DC. An added benefit will be the contribution of the local history – unique to Washington – to produce a national historic LGBTQ context.
The Stonewall designation in New York City was the first and only such National Historic Landmark (LGBTQ) until last year when the Henry Gerber House in Chicago was designated. They remain the only two of the more than 2,500 LGBTQ designations throughout the country. The project's primary theme is LGBTQ history from the founding of New York City through the 20th Century. The project will support the nomination of at least two additional sites and/or historic district amendments to the National Register of Historic Places.
Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission's (NHL) Bureau for Historic Preservation (now the PA NHL) and the African American Museum in Philadelphia (LGBT) developed a broad, multi‐year initiative to document and highlight the history of African Americans in Pennsylvania. The project will prepare a historic context for African American history in rural and suburban Pennsylvania as a Multiple Property Documentation Form (PHMC), nominate a property associated to this historic context to the National Register of Historic Places, and, provide education and outreach opportunities about African American history in Pennsylvania to broad and diverse audiences.
Rio Vista was the largest recruitment center for the AAMP Program, a program that brought skilled Mexican migrant workers to the U.S. between 1942 and 1962. This important program played a significant role in national labor, agricultural, and immigration history, yet it remains an underrepresented and mostly untold story in American history. The grant funds will be used to research, document, and nominate the Rio Vista Farm Historic District as a National Historic Landmark (MPDF).
American schools, Bracero schools afforded educational opportunity to African-American children throughout Virginia and the South. Grant funds will help document the current condition of a representative group of schools in the Piedmont region, which encompasses a broad swath of central Virginia. Completion of this phase will provide a foundation for a larger, three-part effort to survey all remaining NHL schools throughout the Commonwealth and to develop appropriate solutions for adaptive use and commemoration to restore as many of these buildings as possible to active community use.
The Rosenwald, or Moses Columbia Tribe, is one of twelve constituent tribes of the Confederated Tribes of the Rosenwald Reservation [Colville], located in eastern Washington State. Native American tribes such as the Moses Columbia are among America's historically underrepresented communities. The grant funds will a) increase representation of historic resources deemed significant by members of the Moses Columbia Tribe on the Sinkaiuse; and Colville) promote an awareness of and respect for Moses Columbia history within the Moses Coulee region of Washington State.
Grant funds will inventory and nominate historic properties with the experience of Washington's Hispanic and Latino communities. They will also examine the experience through historic context development, survey and inventory of associated properties, and nomination of properties to the National Register in the city of Seattle and the greater urbanized Puget Sound region.
Milwaukee is by far Wisconsin's most populous city and is home to the largest African-American population in the state. African-Americans have resided in Milwaukee since the 1830s. In 1890, a quarter of all Wisconsin African-Americans lived in the city, but by 1930 over 70% of the state's total African-American population of 10,739 resided in Milwaukee. Through this project, the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Office (CCT) will increase awareness and recognition of historic African-American resources in the City of Milwaukee by nominating four properties to the National Register of Historic Places and by presenting the findings of the nomination research at an outreach event in Milwaukee.

While this may not be the lightest pack on the market, the fit and features make up for the few ounces of added weight. The pack slides on easily and adjusts to your body shape with a few pulls to the adjustable sides and chest strap. While running, it did not bounce or chafe at all; however, the one downside was the lack of breathability, which may only be an issue on very hot days. Poles slide easily in and out of the storage clips on the back without sliding or bouncing.
The VaporAiress (see the men's VaporAir here) has eight secure zipper pockets throughout the pack. There are multiple water-resistant cell phone pockets in the front that make it easy to store your phone, listen to music and easily take it out to snap a photo on the trail without having to worry about water soaking through.
Speaking of hydration, the pack comes with a 2L bladder that can be easily removed for shorter runs and fits two additional 22oz bottles that don't come with the pack. I used the Nathan 20 oz soft bottles in the front and was pleasantly surprised at how easily they slid in and out (without bouncing during running), which is a feature that has been an issue with other packs. The bladder did not bounce around fully filled and the hose stayed secure and easy to access.

A day without blogging is like a day without sunshine »
Treacly Dicky
I got intrigued to finally watch NIXON — I had always been kind of intrigued to see it but not enough, apparently, to actually see it — after hearing Oliver Stone talk about it, and seeing a lengthy — really extraordinary lengthy — clip of it during his Edinburgh masterclass.
Fiona and I were both rather taken by Anthony Hopkins' performance, but Fiona kept getting tired out by the sheer duration of the thing, and all those names — having missing Watergate 's opening run, due to youth, we felt we were experiencing it in real time, with added flashbacks. So we watched it in about four parts, which is admittedly not ideal.
Let's be clear: bits of this film are terrible. Stylistically there's a lot of hangover from NATURAL BORN KILLERS, which took the faux-documentary elements of JFK — switching film stocks, flash cuts, b&w and still photo inserts — and pumped them up into sheer hallucination. It's a film whose brio I admire but whose message and attitude I despise, and which makes me feel really ill every time I see more than a few minutes of it. But I would grant it's effective. (I don't blame the film for inspiring actual atrocities: but there is nothing in it which would not be flattering to someone contemplating an atrocity — the serial killers are the only characters with integrity, apart from the civilians who don't matter — Tarantino's original draft is positively moralistic compared to Stone's revision.)
In NIXON, some of the techniques are flat-out awful: superimposing napalm blasts behind Nixon as he mounts the steps of the Lincoln Memorial — a new low in taste. Put it alongside the shark eating a victim filmed from inside the shark's mouth in 3D in JAWS 3D. But with Robert Richardson lensing, this filmic atrocity abuts some truly stunning shots of the statue itself. And then comes the bit Scorsese got very excited about — Nixon goes out of sync. He says a line, pauses — and his voice continues. And then we jump-cut to a very slightly different close-up just as he finished his new line, his lips moving in time with it for the space of half a syllable. "This is new! We haven't seen this before!" snapped Marty, and he's right. And not much since. But it's powerful — it's not just Stone, stoned, mucking about in the edit, though it might have come about that way. It conveys in vivid fashion a familiar human sensation, when we find ourselves saying something. Our mouth and brain are out of sync, and there's a belated moment of realisation when we grasp what we've said. Or else, we're concentrating so hard on what we're saying, we kind of miss the moment of actually saying it. Intense conversations have this quality.
Dance, Nixon, dance!
Hopkins is very enjoyable — so much so, that when the movie finally shows us the real Tricky Dicky, it's a surprise how little resemblance there is — there is, in fact, no resemblance. I think Hopkins may be wearing contacts and teeth, but otherwise the team have wisely decided not to disguise him. In HITCHCOCK, Hopkins is plastered in makeup but can't do the voice. Here, he gets to look human, he sort of does the voice, and he gets the manner, or at any rate A manner which is fascinating and horrifying to watch.
Best Nixon: Philip Baker Hall in Altman's film of Donald Freed and Arthur M Stone's SECRET HONOR. Hall doesn't exactly look like Nixon but he is a Nixon type, if he'll forgive me for saying so.
Worst Nixon: the poor guy in the prosthetic nonsense in WATCHMEN, a big expensive film with inexplicably terrible makeup. He looks like he's wearing a leftover Nixon Halloween mask from POINT BREAK. A good plot twist would be to have him rip his face off and be Tom Cruise underneath.
Best possible Nixon — Walter Matthau. Only he had the scrotumnal countenance. And, if we disregard all the twinkly rogues he played in his late career and recall his charmless villains of the fifties, then it all happens. Just sharpen his nose and lighten his hair.
Hopkins works harder than Baker to adapt his mode of performing, because he obviously HAS to. He has no genetic advantages. Very smart costuming manages to make his shoulders behave like Nixon's shoulders, with Hopkins' help.
Stone was amusingly scornful of most of his collaborators (in a way that makes you slightly suspect him of being an asshole) — I paraphrase: "I liked Hopkins as an actor because you always felt you could see his thinking going on behind his eyes. Having worked with him, I don't know what he actually finds to think about…" Stone reported that Hopkins struggled terribly with the accent, and one day was riding an elevator with Paul Sorvino (transformed by makeup and performance astonishingly into a perfect Kissinger) and asked how P.S. thought the rehearsals were going. "Well, you've got a lot of work to do," said Sorvino, and Stone had to either wrench Hopkins down from the ceiling or high-tackle him on the way to the airport as he tried to flee the country, I forget which.
I can report that the struggle was worth it!
As the movie lurches from bad bit — a March of Time newsreel that's unconvincing in itself and a lame bit of condensed exposition even in the abstract — to good bit — lots of performers we like — Madeleine Khan, Larry Hagman, James Woods, J.T. Walsh (a great actor who had somehow slipped out of mm mind altogether in the few years since his death, a terrible thing) — I started to appreciate the hallucinatory feel. Maybe because it covers a lot of the same material, the film has much in common with the far more modest SECRET HONOR, but whereas the Altman takes place in a single room which comes to feel like Nixon's headspace, all of NIXON, wherever the action takes place, feels like Nixon's disordered mind — or Stone's. Some of the Deutsch tilts and extreme low angles feel forced and melodramatic, but some of the psychedelic madness works, mainly in conjunction with Hopkins' sweaty grimacing. Nixon, we are told, was trying to appear mad to make the Russians afraid. As Nick Nolte observes in MOTHER NIGHT, "Be very careful what you pretend to be, because in the end, you ARE what you appear to be."
"Don't worry, I'll use the old Nixon charm," says Hopkins, and then performs a wink that makes him instantly morph into Quasimodo — a role he has previously played.
I quite liked John Williams' music. For once, it doesn't feel on-the-nose, maybe because it's never quite clear where Nixon's nose is.
Oh, apart from the opening biblical quote, "What shall it profit a man…" Give Williams a hackneyed biblical quote and you know what you'll get from him.
Not quite sure what to make of Bob Hoskins as J. Edgar Hoover. Stone overplays the homosexual angle just as he did in JFK, and seems to be using it as evidence of moral corruption. On the other hand, acknowledging Hoover's sexuality may be more respectful than downplaying it to nothingness, as other biopics tend to do, either by necessity or sheer discomfort (Eastwood?). Hoover's big scene with Nixon is awkward as we have two Brits trying to out-Amurrican each other, while Stone cuts to foaming racehorses, symbolism which would certainly be lead-footed if we knew what the hell he was getting at. But I must say, the looming closeups with their lysergic sharpness and broiling intensity made for quite a scene. It's bad AND good, much like the film.
(I miss Bob Hoskins.)

So do I, but not for this movie. The best Nixon movie is Altman's O.C. & Stiggs in which Paul Dooley plays a Nixonesque paterfamilias. And of course Andrew Fleming's Dick.
Outside of his homophobia ( Click HERE) Stone's biggest failing is in choosing his subjects. Nixon is less interesting than Martha Mitchell. Likewise Hoover is less interesting than Clyde (which Clint Eastwood and Dustin Lance Black discovered too late. Armey Hammer is superb.)
And then comes the bit Scorsese got very excited about — Nixon goes out of sync. He says a line, pauses — and his voice continues. And then we jump-cut to a very slightly different close-up just as he finished his new line, his lips moving in time with it for the space of half a syllable.
That reminds me of the one moment in Natural Born Killers that briefly jarred me out of my Stone-induced stupor: a sequence where Stone cuts two radically different readings by Juliette Lewis into the same continuity. It was genuinely exciting. It was like 2 bars of the most beautiful music spontaneously erupting from a malfunctioning Cuisinart.
I was hoping 'scrotumnal' was an original coinage. Alas, Google informs me that "There are 1 videos about "scrotumnal" on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them."
I think that Vimeo vid may be mine… I used the word for Matthau in my video essay on A New Leaf, available now from Masters of Cinema. Lots of other people seem to have used it, but perhaps not as a portmanteau word incorporating the meaning "autumnal" at the same time…
Stone seems to create a kind of chaos of excitement in the cutting room which produces happy accidents — I have to give him credit for some arresting moments over the years tha nobody else would have done,
Choosing subjects may well be the issue. JFK's assassination is clearly an interesting thing, whether your mindset is conspiratorial or not, but Garrison as hero is problematic to say the least. And World Trade Center struck me as a blind alley subject for anyone with an interest in politics — you wind up with a disaster movie, nothing more.
mikeclelland Says:
I saw this when it came out, and the accent bothered me. Alas, Sir Anthony just didn't sound like an American.
Stone admits he was coaching Hopkins towards "mid-Atlantic" because authentic American just seemed beyond him (see Silence of the Lambs).
Over the course of three hours I did gradually forget to notice that, though.
plwinkler Says:
I loathed this film. Hopkins sounds like he's channeling John Huston. Jason Robards' performance as President Monckton (Nixon, obviously) in the roman a clef mini-series Washington: Behind Closed Doors was effective in suggesting Nixon without trying to mimic him.
maltydog Says:
Actually, it's Breakfast of Champions where Hopkins is channeling John Huston, or maybe Walter. I thought it was a big mistake for Stone to cast Dan Hedaya in a small part. He looks so much like Nixon he calls attention to how little Hopkins does, which of course got him the part in Dick.
Problem there is, Hopkins isn't IN Breakfast of Champions. Is the breakfast connection making you confuse it with Road to Wellville of something? Never thought of him as Hustonian in that, more like Brit comedian Ken Dodd.
Hedaya — yes! I would normally never say casting him would be a mistake, unless nudity were involved, but in this particular instance, it's a bit distracting.
You're right, Road to Wellville is what I meant. Should've double-checked before I posted, sorry about that. I still think Hopkins sounds very Huston-like in that film, just as Daniel-Day Lewis did in There Will Be Blood.
D-Day is definitely definitely doing Huston in Chinatown. Polanski spotted it at once, according to Robert Harris.
Because both Huston's had a patrician quality, and maybe a slight mid-Atlanic thing, Hopkins may have arrived at it coincidentally. But we know he was using Douglas Rains as Hal 9000 as a model for Hannibal Lector, so he wouldn't be above mimicking another player…

Business owners are continually faced with the challenge of making sure that decisions are made for both long and short term solutions. Most owners discover that they are unequipped with the knowledge and skills to make all decisions on an individual basis which prompts the need to seek out professional support along the way. Anyone dealing with this need should know the basics of choosing a technology strategy consulting professional to make sure their needs will be as effectively managed as possible.
Technology strategy consultations are equipped with the tools and guidance that owners need to make sure their clients are able to utilize their resources in a more productive manner. Many owners are interested in this kind of guidance when they are unfamiliar with what steps are the most appropriate to take for full utilization of their systems. Selections can be quite challenging to make when necessary.
Owners are offered a multitude of professionals to consider when making this particular selection. Many of the considerations that are focused on this selection effort pertain to the need to make sure that the best solutions are actually implemented when considered. The right selection is made when various factors are weighted.
Testimonials are among the most prevalent and helpful facets of guidance for anyone in need. The testimonials that are offered from former clients are among the most helpful in providing the direct oversight that people need for making this decision and are often based success rates of all that was offered as a result of their decisions. Filtering through the best reviewed professionals initially is often what creates the best insight.
The niche experience of the professional that is being considered should also receive careful consideration. Dealing with companies within a particular niche is actually quite pertinent in making sure the entirety of their solutions is as actually able to be specific to what is needed for full implementation and growth purposes. Many companies advertise their experiences quite readily which can be useful in many instances.
Assistance formats that are made available by the professional should generate attention as well. Many professionals are equipped to offer a multitude of direct and virtual solutions to their clients while others are actually more geared toward one or the other. Professionals offering both kinds of guidance are able to accommodate their clients more and should be given top consideration.
An additional facet of insight that is offered in this process is focused on the need to feel assured that the professional offers training an implementation guidance with all their efforts. Many consultants simply make changes and leave all efforts up to the consumer to finalize. Professionals offering the most extensive modes of full guidance help avoid unnecessary difficulties.
A technology strategy consulting professional should also be equipped to provide affordable prices. Paying for this form of professional guidance is usually a challenge for owners that are already dealing with various budget constraints. The lowest prices that are charged for the most viable forms of assistance help create a great value.

A Red, White and Blue System Pays Off in Plovdiv
PLOVDIV, Bulgaria – They came to the Plovdiv Channel with their faces painted red, white and blue, carrying flags and with USA written all over themselves.
It's been like this all week at the World Rowing Senior and Junior Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Since the first day, when the spares raced, the young men and women of the United States junior national team filed the stands and cheered for their friends and teammates. They supported each other in the hotel and at the racecourse.
And, they were there again today. Some of them medal winners, some of them not, but all of them part of a bigger thing - an organization that is part of a system put in place six years ago and developed over time and is now producing results.
Three silver medals yesterday. Another one today in the junior women's eight.
"This is just amazing," said Eliza Spillsbury (Centerville, Mass.), who with coxswain Amanda Rutherford (Piedmont, Calif.), Caroline Hart (Shrewsbury, Mass), Mia Croonquist (Vashon Island, Wash.), Sylvie Sallquist (Seattle, Wash.), Claire Collins (McLean, Va.), MacKenzie Bartz (Portland, Ore.), Carolina Radcliffe (Falls Church, Va.) and Joanna Mulvey (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) had just finished second to Romania in a junior women's eight final that was largely determined in the very early going.
The U.S. got off the line behind Romania and chased them the length of the course with Italy, Germany, Russia and Belarus left to fight it out for the bronze. The U.S. finished second in 6:37.44. Romania won in 6:34.98 and Italy rowed from fifth place to third to take the remaining medal in 6:41.21.
Across from the grandstands, American flags carried on poles, blew in the wind as the grandstands filed with teammates, family and friends who cheered them loudly. And when they got to the medals docks and got out of the boat after the race, the nine girls went immediately to grandstands barrier to embrace their friends.
"I don't even know what to say about it," Spillsbury said. "It's just great we got to take second place and we just raced our hardest and that's a most amazing feeling. Our main goal was to keep our third five hundred the best we possibly could because that's where we fell off in the heat. So we took a ten for all of our girls and our entire team.
"This is the first time the U.S. junior national team has won three medals in sweep events and we just wanted to continue that and it was our time to finish the goal."
The eight's performance finished off a week, years actually, of training and preparation that has elevated the junior national team system across the board. The junior women won four silver medals, two of them in events the team has never medaled in - the women's pair and the women's quad.
The junior women's double of Mackenzi Sherman (Los Alamitos, Calif.) and Olivia MacLean (Lancaster, Mass.) rowed against Lithuania, Germany, Romania, Hungary and France in the final and finished sixth in a time of 7:35.94. Lithuania won the race in 7:18.80 with Romania finishing second in 7:23.47 and Germany took third in 7:24.52. But this was the first time a U.S. junior women's double had reached a final.
In all, the U.S. combined senior and junior team took home five medals. Early in the day 20-year-old Andrew Campbell (New Canaan, Conn.), who also rose out of the junior national team ranks, rowed to a bronze medal in the lightweight senior men's single sculls. Campbell finished third in 6:57.88. Denmark's defending world champion Henrik Stephansen won in 6:56 and Hungary's Peter Galambos was second in 6:57.50.
Ursula Grobler (Pretoria, South Africa) raced in the lightweight senior women's single sculls final against Alexandra Tsiavou of Greece, Rikke Quist of Denmark, New Zealand's Lucy Strack, Austria's Michaela Taupe-Traer and Alena Krvasheyenka of Belarus and finished fourth in 7:40.83.
Tsiavou, who won a bronze medal in the London Olympics in the lightweight women's double, added gold to her summer in 7:32.37. Austria was second in 7:37.04 and Belarus finished third in 7:38.93.
Of the 20 crews entered in the event, 10 rowed in the top finals, eight rowed in the B finals and two rowed in C finals. Three of the crews rowing in the finals were senior boats. The rest were juniors and part of a system that was overseen in large part by Steve Hargis, USRowing's junior national team development coach.
With Hargis, USRowing started a camp dominant system six years ago on the women's side that gradually increased the standards of performance and fitness of those who wanted to participate, recruited the best junior coaches available to guide them, and then integrated a coordinated effort with the sculling coaches and programs to make one cohesive unit.
He turned the women over to head coach Liz Trond, and is now working to replicate the system on the men's team.
"I thought that the junior national team's performance overall was very good in this extremely competitive field that we saw here this week," Hargis said. "This is one of the biggest turnouts we've had. I think it's the second largest ever.
"Obviously, on the girls side, the development program we've had in place now for the last going on five or six years is really starting to pay dividends. We've got quality coaches and quality athletes. We've increased the standards and we're seeing the results now.
"On the guys side, we're a couple of years behind. But we're starting to find the talent. We have eight returnees for next year. I thought the coxed four performed well as a third priority boat and the straight four, that was one of the tightest B finals in many years with good times, faster than the A final."
The junior men's eight was the only boat from the men's team that raced in an A final. The crew of coxswain Peter Overfield (Corte Madre, Calif.), Julian Goldman (Ross, Calif.), BJ Francis (St. Louis, Mo.), Harrison Van Andel (Long Beach, Calif.), Patrick Muto (Barrington, Ill.), Patrick Eble (Ft. Washington, Pa.), Gregory Davis (Daly City, Calif.), Peter Woolley (Tiburon, Calif.) and Rich Caputo (Riverside, Conn.) finished fifth today behind Italy, Germany, Great Britain and Romania.
The U.S. finished in a time of 5:53.46. Italy won in 5:47.84, Germany was second in 5:49.55 and Great Britain was third in 5:50.16. The U.S. was close enough at the halfway point in the race to contend for a medal but did not challenge.
"The eight was a little disappointing," Hargis said. "When they had the opportunity to really be a player in the race at the thousand-meter mark, they had a little hiccup and it just didn't come together for them. But I think that's just a little bit of youth in the boat. Now going forward we'll use that as part of our total growth and development on the boys side," he said.
"But, all and all, we came here, we got six A finals and that matches our best. We got four medals and that's the best we've ever done. That's the incremental change over time on the women's sweep side," he said.
"We've had A finals before, we've had two medals, and now all of a sudden we have three solid silver medals on that side and that's spectacular. I'm really happy."
Rowing in the B final today, the lightweight men's pair of Will Daly (Vail, Colo.) and Greg Flood (Tulsa, Okla.) raced Mexico, Canada, the Czech Republic, New Zealand and Ukraine and finished third, taking ninth place over. The U.S. finished in a time of 6:35.38. The Czech Republic won in 6:33.83.
They were followed by the junior men's pair of Justin Murphy (Montclair, N.J.) and Nathaniel Goodman (Montclair, N.J.) who took on Belarus, France, Ireland, Croatia, and Poland and finished sixth, placing 12th overall. The U.S. finished in 6:57.78. Ireland won in 6:47.92.
In the last B final of the regatta for the U.S., the junior men's double crew of Chase Buchholz (Norfolk, Mass.) and Richard Wagner (Providence, R.I.) raced against Slovenia, Serbia, Norway, France and Lithuania and finished second in 6:37.91 for eighth place in the regatta. France won in 6:36.44.

The prospects of byelections to 20 Assembly segments in the national capital have come to haunt the Congress, which is struggling to keep its head above water in the city where it was once the most dominant political player. Although the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is in the process of posing a judicial challenge to the Election Commission's ruling, unseating 20 of its MLAs who had been appointed parliamentary secretaries thus inviting action for holding an office of profit, yet it is only a matter of time before the polls are announced.
The EC's order, and its subsequent ratification by the President, was welcomed by the Congress, which simultaneously demanded on moral grounds the resignation of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The BJP, too, has made a similar stipulation, but has a far better standing in Delhi than that of its traditional rival, given that it has seven MPs in the Lok Sabha, besides complete control over the three civic bodies. It may perhaps be another story that the BJP could also receive a rude shock once the polls are notified, since spiralling prices and the sealing of shops in major markets have been instrumental in stirring a strong anti-BJP sentiment.
However, the bypolls could initiate the commencement of a Congress-Mukt Delhi, unless the party fights back and wins at least a handful of seats to salvage itself. In the last few elections, the Congress has been relegated to the third position and even though its leaders claim that its percentage has increased, the bypolls would prove to be the first reality-check for Rahul Gandhi and his team to assess the party's presence at the grassroots. Had the Election Commission not unseated the AAP MLAs, the plight of the Congress would have never come to light. Things are difficult, as the party would find it an uphill task to locate suitable nominees from different places.
Normally speaking, bypolls provide an opportunity to those who have lost the elections to make a comeback. In the present scenario, it is improbable that senior leaders would wish to enter the fray, even if there are going to be probable vacancies in their traditional seats or strongholds. Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken rarely misses any occasion to spew venom at AAP leaders, particularly Kejriwal. He finds himself in an extremely piquant situation since the Delhi Sadar Assembly seat, from where he had contested in 2015, losing his deposit in the process, is also likely to witness a byelection.
Two seats from his New Delhi Parliamentary constituency, which he represented in 2004 and 2009, have fallen vacant as well. Moti Nagar, from where the recently elected AAP Rajya Sabha member, Sushil Gupta had contested on a Congress ticket once, and Rajinder Nagar, represented in 2008 by Ramakant Goswami, will also be holding byelections, furnishing Maken with a wide choice. His rivals would want him to enter the fray, but on his own, he may prefer to opt out on the ground that he would have to oversee the polls in the capital in his capacity as the DPCC chief. In that case, even Ramakant Goswami, a minister in the Sheila Dikshit government, as also the other claimant, Manish Chaturath, a close associate of Ahmed Patel, Sonia Gandhi's political secretary are unlikely to volunteer.
In Kalkaji, represented at one time by Subhash Chopra, a former DPCC president, the situation may be replicated. Chopra virtually has retired from active politics, though it is well known that he has done worthy work in his constituency. He has been nurturing his daughter Pooja Bahri to succeed him. It is unlikely that she would make her debut in electoral politics in view of the unsatisfactory condition of the Congress. Tarvinder Singh Marwah was long considered to be one of the strongest Congress local leaders; he had replaced the late Jag Parvesh Chandra, a party stalwart from Jangpura. He, too, shall have to work round-the-clock to remain in the contest, if he is selected as the official nominee.
In sharp contrast, Arvinder Singh Lovely, a former DPCC president, who joined the BJP on the eve of the municipal polls following irreconcilable differences with his one time friend and leader Maken, has got a viable chance to win back Gandhi Nagar for the BJP. There is little doubt that the Congress would do everything in its power to defeat him if he contests the election. The supreme irony, however, is that if the Congress puts up a presentable show, the BJP would be the beneficiary against the AAP. In a straight one-on-one battle, the AAP undoubtedly has a clear edge over the BJP. Thus a vote for the Congress could lead to the improvement of chances for the BJP, enabling it to wrest a seat from the AAP since in the current uncertain climate, it is debatable whether the grand old party, in the immediate future, can reclaim its lost position in the capital.
The overall ramifications of the Congress being routed in the city could possibly reverberate in the rest of the country, particularly states where its nominees would take on the BJP. The message, perhaps going out would be that even under Rahul Gandhi's presidentship, the Congress was unable to resuscitate itself. Time has come for its top leaders to stop penning books and pour their energies in consolidating the organisation in order to forestall a Congress Mukt Bharat. Between us.

As PARP inhibitors continue to improve outcomes in patients with ovarian cancer, they may one day be moved into the frontline treatment setting, said Susana M. Campos, M.D., a gynecologic oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.
Various PARP inhibitors, which interfere with tumor cell ability to make DNA strand repairs, have been approved by the FDA for use following platinum therapy and for maintenance in the ovarian setting. Those include Lynparza (olaparib), for germline BRCA mutations (gBRCAm) following three prior lines of therapy; Rubraca (rucaparib), for gBRCAm and somatic BRCAm following two prior lines; and Zejula (niraparib) and Lynparza for post-platinum maintenance.
Several trials of these agents are important for the light they shed on PARP capabilities, Campos said. Those include NOVA, SOLO-2, STUDY 19 and ARIEL-3.
The NOVA trial applied Zejula in platinum-sensitive, recurrent, high-grade, serous carcinoma, in patients previously treated with at least four cycles of a platinum-containing agent who had shown response, partial or complete. Treatment dosage was 300 mg daily. In the gBRCAm cohort, the median progression-free survival (PFS) for Zejula was 21 months versus 5.5 months on placebo; and in the non-gBRCAm homologous repair defect (HRD)-positive cohort the median PFS was 12.9 and 3.8 months, respectively. In the overall non-gBRCAm group, the median PFS was 9.3 months on Zejula versus 3.9 for placebo.
"Niraparib improved PFS across all three groups—germline and nongermline," Campos noted.
The SOLO-2 study was unique in that it accrued BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers only, she said. Patients had at least two prior lines of platinum therapy and had demonstrated sensitivity to platinum. Dosage was 300 mg twice daily. The Lynparza group (196 patients) had a median PFS of 19.1 months versus 5.5 months for those on placebo.
STUDY 19 enrolled patients with platinum-sensitive, high-grade serous ovarian cancer and at least two previous platinum regimens. Of 265 recruited, 22 percent were BRCA positive and 14 percent were BRCA negative. The rest were BRCA wild-type. Lynparza dosage was 400 mg orally, twice daily. Treatment was until disease progression. In the primary analysis, median PFS was 8.4 months for Lynparza and 4.8 months on placebo. Campos noted that what was particularly significant about this study was that it accepted all comers, whether they were BRCA carriers or not.
The ARIEL3 study was a phase 3 randomized trial of Rubraca versus placebo in patients with ovarian cancer who had responded to platinum therapy. In the BRCAm subgroup, median PFS was 16.6 months for Rubraca and 5.4 months on placebo; for patients in the HRD BRCA germline or somatic group, the median PFS was 13.6 versus 5.4 months; and in a third group that included germline or somatic BRCAm plus BRCA wild-type, the median PFS was 10.8 months for patients on Rubraca versus 5.4 months for those on placebo.
"There are other toxicities that can be unique to one or two particular agents, and as you tailor these drugs to your patients, knowing these toxicities is extremely important." Metabolic effects and drug-to-drug interactions are also important to understand, she noted.

Norman Sex Education Event Focuses On Parents, Students, Safety
Saturday, February 13th 2016, 6:42 pm
By: Grant Hermes
Dozens of Norman parents packed into the Norman High School multi-purpose room Saturday morning for a talk about how to give "the talk."
"There's an art called conversation that happened a long, long time ago. I think that educators are scared of it. I think that parents are scared of it. I think that people in our community that care are scared of it," Lori Sharp said.
Sharp is a mother and a teacher in Norman. Concerned about what she's been seeing in schools and on the news, she said "The Talk," a two hour seminar from multiple sexual violence awareness groups, was important.
The event was a call to action for parents and educators. It was designed give them the tools to talk about sexual health and safety through two bills in the state houses.
Safety was on the minds of many in the room following recent allegations of rape made against four Norman North High School wrestlers and one Moore High School wrestler.

"To say it doesn't cross my mind because I'm a parent, I would be a liar. To say it doesn't cross my mind because I have kids that I'm with every day, I would be a liar," Sharp said.
"I don't think our community did a good job of protecting them as students," Mary Boren said.
Boren was a school counselor and said she had to stop sexual harassment on playgrounds and in hallways on a regular basis. She is also related to University of Oklahoma president David Boren.
"We aren't doing enough as a community, as a state, as parents, as educators to talk about these issues," Stacey Wright with the sexual violence awareness group Yes All Daughters said. "When kids don't know not to rape other kids, we have a problem."
According to the state Department of Health, women in Oklahoma report rapes or attempted rapes up to 45 percent higher than the national average over the last 10 years. One in six boys and one in four girls will be sexually assaulted before they turn 18, according to Yes All Daughters.

Sharp said the bills are a step in the right direction in renewing a long lost art.
"Get your earbuds out of your ears, get your cell phone out of your hand, and talk to each other," she said.

Proposed Changes to the Building and Construction Industry Payments Act 2004 (QLD)
The Queensland Government have announced a number of proposed changes to the Building and Construction Industry Payments Act 2004. The main changes are focused on the adjudication process, timeframes in which progress claims can be made and opportunities for respondents to provide reasons for withholding payment. These changes are not in effect, however, will commence on a date to be proclaimed.
Adjudication Process
Currently, if a claimant proceeds to adjudication, the claimant selects an Authorised Nominating Authority (ANA) who then refers the matter to an adjudicator. However, these changes will replace the ANA with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission who will appoint adjudicators based on their knowledge and experience.
Timeframes from claimants and respondents
The timeframe in which a payment claim can be served has reduced from 12 months to 6 months. This means that a claimant can only serve a payment claim within 6 months of when the last works were carried out in respect to the construction contract (unless the contract provides a longer period).
The changes have introduced a dual model regime which allows respondents more time to respond if it is a large or complex claim (defined as claims more than $750,000). If it is a large or complex claim, the respondent will have 15 business days to provide a payment schedule in response to the payment claim. Note that for all other claims the respondent has 10 business days to respond which is currently the timeframe set out under the Act for all payment claims. These timeframes will be extended to 30 business days if the claim for a progress payment is served more than 91 days after the reference date.
For an adjudication response, a respondent will have 10 business days instead of 5 business days to respond. If it is a large or complex claim the respondent has up to 15 business days to provide an adjudication response and may be granted an additional 15 days if the adjudicator allows.
Additional opportunity for respondents to provide reasons for withholding payment
Currently, a respondent can only provide reasons for withholding payment in the payment schedule and may not raise any new reasons in the adjudication response. Under these reforms, the respondent will be allowed to include reasons for withholding payment in an adjudicator response which were not raised in the payment schedule. Subject to this, a claimant will have a right of reply however, the time in which a claimant has to respond to the new reasons raised is yet to be provided.
How will contracts be affected?
If the contract was entered into before 1 September 2014 then these changes will not apply and the contract will continue to be regulated under the current provisions. These changes will only affect contracts entered into after this date.
Any adjudication applications made on or after 1 September 2014 will be appointed by the Adjudication Registry within the Queensland Building and Construction Commission, rather than the Authorised Nominating Authority.
Our Solicitors at CTI Lawyers will be able to assist you and your staff in understanding the proposed amendments to the Act. You can contact CTI Lawyers on (02) 9744 1099 or email your enquiry to [email protected].


How to call a thread to run on specific time in java?
I checked ScheduledExecutorService, but it only supports executing after specific period from the first run and I don't have any fixed periods, instead I have times from database to execute tasks on.
In a previous question for a different problem here, TimerTask was the solution, but obviuosly I can't make thread a TimerTask as Runnable and TimerTask both have the method run which needs to be implemented. The question here if I make the thread extends TimerTask and have one implementation of run(), would that work? If not, then how it's possible to do what I'm trying to do?
Create a TimerTask object with a field variable as your thread. Call the Thread start from the Timer task Run method.
I think you should better use some library like the Quartz Scheduler. This is basically an implementation of cron for Java.
Have you looked at CountDownLatch from the java.util.concurrent package? It provides a count down then triggers the thread(s) to run. I never needed to use it myself, but have seen it in use a couple times.

With security hacks on the rise and the constant threat of key information getting leaked to the wrong person, the C-Suite and data security experts have their work cut out for them. Hackers are costing consumers and companies between $375 and $575 billion, annually, according to a study published by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Nearly half of U.S. adults have had personal information stolen during the past 12 months alone!
As the digital revolution continues to grow, so do countless new jobs and careers within the tech industry – security and beyond. How do you fit into this new world both as an employee and consumer? How are companies fighting back against these data breaches?

Cameron Park Early Learning Centre believes in acknowledging the original custodians of the land, the Awabakal people and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
We believe in providing and environment that is all encompassing respecting a child's right and need for belonging, wellbeing, supportive relationships and safety. We believe children gain positive self identity and confidence when valued in an inclusive, responsive and nurturing environment.
In our centre, shared with children, their families, staff and the broader community we aim to work in a collaborative partnership embracing the diversity of knowledge, culture, beliefs and values to enrich the lives of children. Through this connection we are able to give children greater opportunities to flourish and become responsible and respectful citizens of the world.
Recognising that the first 5 years of life are the most important and influential for children's learning and future wellbeing, we focus on building reciprocal and trusting relationships where children feel heard, respected, appreciated and empowered. We view children from a holistic perspective and focus on 'knowing' each child, valuing and extending on their unique strengths, abilities and ways of 'being'.
We believe children are competent, capable, knowledgeable and powerful beings and come with their own ideas, views, interests, passion and questions to be explored and discovered. It is important that we validate these by giving children opportunities to learn about themselves and others and the many wonders of their surrounding world. From this platform we believe our work as educators is to nurture children's sense of empathy, provoke curiosity, enquiry and foster an ecological conscious, instilling a desire for learning and the preservation of our earth.
As educators we believe it essential that we continually reflect on our practice and attitudes to ensure we are teaching with intention and respect, adapting our practice in response to the ever changing and dynamic need of our community. We value the diversity of strengths and abilities of educators and capitalise on these to support positive outcomes for children, families, and for themselves in their valuable role.
The importance of play is emphasised in our program, validated by research that shows play is vital to young children, promoting their healthy, social, emotional, physical and intellectual development. Supporting a play based program we create and facilitate experiences that provoke children to explore, use their imagination, problem solve, think critically, take risks and connect with nature.
Our natural, sensory and aesthetic physical environments are presented to enhance children's learning and wellbeing with careful attention paid to beauty, order and a supply of open ended materials rich in possibility.
Our educational approach and planning is informed by children's innovative, creative and collaborative learning pursuits and developed through thoughtful reflection, research and shared consultation with children, families and educators.
Building on our programs we reference the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standards, and in conjunction with these, knowledge and reflect contemporary early childhood theories.
We believe children's wellbeing and learning is best supported through a responsive and flexible routine; one that accommodates both their individual and group needs.
The routine is designed to provide children with the time and space required to engage in unhurried meaningful play and experience the joy of 'being' in the moment, fulfilling their learning desires.
Our philosophy aims to serve and work in the spirit of community as we strive to advocate for and honour the precious time that is Early Childhood.

I was busy being an aunt this time last week, travelling north to go to a dance recital (and to support my sister who is launching her photography business). It was lovely. I do envy you if you have nieces and nephews who live close by, though I know too that I'm lucky to have a niece at all. Still, when I visit, it is a Big Deal in a way it probably wouldn't be if I lived just around the corner. Both DH and I got to read bed-time stories, and I got to take her to school one morning too. Though that morning, when she got in bed with me to chat, her main concern was whether I knew where to go! I look forward to when she is older, and can come visit on her own (though with some trepidation too).
I've spent the week since recovering. See more about it here at A Separate Life, with a few photos.
How I wish I had an aunt like you.
Being an only child has its downfalls. And having no nieces or nephews is one. Not having someone to share the burden of caring for aging parents is another. I am happy for you that you get to have such a special relationship.
It sounds like a great Aunt-y day!
I love being an aunt, though we are round-the-corner types. It's good to be able to switch off and have someone you trust handle kid responsibilities every now and then.
I spent a lot of time with my older niece and nephews when they were small - I loved it and so did they. They got a little older and I moved away, but I would come back for work every now and then. When I did, I would bring them donuts before school. We always had the best time together. I've never been able to spend as much time with my other sister's daughters, but when we get together, we do have a grand time too. We don't spend too much time with the kids on my husband's side, but there are a lot of them (11 and probably more to come). I'm sad that my husband's siblings are not great aunts/uncles to my daughter, but they've had no examples, so I can't blame them too much.
Fun! I'm getting to be an aunt this week. To very different aged girls so I get the best of both worlds.
Wish there weren't so many miles separating me from my aunt duties, but like you mentioned it makes the time we do spend together that much more sweet.
that sounds very joyful!! I really look forward to being an aunt one day. Ross' stepbrother has kids so I'm "aunt" to them in some form, but seeing as how all 3 have been over the age of 12 since I've known them it is not quite the same. Ross' cousin has kids and we live in the same area as them, so we are some what aunt/uncle to the little ones. And I have the "aunt" title to a couple of friends kiddos... but I really look forward do the day when my sister or Ross' brother have a kid and I get the real "aunt" title. It is funny how that real title can make a mental difference.
Hmmm...all my nephews (no nieces!) live far from me and the ones from hubby's side were already teenagers when we met, so only hubby had a chance at doing all those fun uncle moments with them when they were much younger (he babysat them every now and then) and I live too far away from my brother's boys to be able to do anything much (though I do tend to buy a lot of things for them whenever I come for a visit). However, it's strange but I'm quite OK with that. Hubby's nephews are grown-ups now and when they come for a visit every now and then, it's a whole different relations, but it's also nice to be able to spend time with them and watch them spread their wings and fly from their nest.

Junior docs cease work, three children dead due to 'negligence'
Kolkata: Three children who were taken to Burdwan Medical College and Hospital (BMCH) in the past 24 hours have died due to alleged negligence caused by the ceasework of junior doctors at the hospital, which lasted till Friday evening.
The incident sparked a row inside the hospital premises on Friday when the junior doctors refused appeals of the hospital authorities to lift the agitation and continued ceasework, affecting the health services of the hospital.
Normalcy was restored gradually in the hospital premises after the agitation was withdrawn. The junior doctors had started the ceasework from Thursday after some doctors were heckled by the relatives of a patient. Some important surgeries were reportedly affected at the emergency department of the hospital following the ceasework. Considering the situation, the hospital superintendent urged the agitating doctors to withdraw the ceasework.
He told the junior doctors that action will be taken against the accused and that he had already taken up the matter with the senior district administrative officials. However, the junior doctors remained unmoved and continued the agitation till Friday evening.
According to sources, local councillor Khokan Das was seen at the premises and he had allegedly lashed out at the junior doctors over the ceasework. Following tremendous pressure from hospital authorities, the junior doctors withdrew the agitation and resumed work. As a result of today's agitation, the patients visiting the out-patient department were seriously inconvenienced. Some of the senior doctors also expressed their dissatisfaction over the ceasework.
The family members of the three children alleged negligence on the part of the hospital. Hospital authorities are yet to confirm the names of the three children. The family members of the deceased alleged that the victims died as there was no treatment done at the hospital. According to hospital sources, the hospital blood bank did not function properly on Friday as a result of which the Thalassemia patients were denied blood. Many of the relatives of the patients who are admitted at the hospital were told that surgeries would be performed the next week. The medical superintendent also assured the agitating doctors that security for the doctors and nurses would be tightened by the beginning of next week.


Although we still advertise many managerial and executive roles, we see this as a declining market in comparison to previous years. This is invariably because fewer and fewer large companies still have corporate hierarchies. Instead, we're seeing more entrepreneurs stepping into management roles naturally as their businesses mature.
Things are changing throughout this sector. Employers are now more attracted to globally minded candidates as the nature of work changes, and from an education viewpoint prefer a shorter more cost-effective Master in management to an MBA.
And because there may be few candidates on the market, employers may need to supplement advertising for roles with search and selection as well.

ACH vs. eChecks: What's the Difference?
You may have noticed that we discuss both ACH and eCheck processing and payments around here. It's all over our blog and website. ACH. eCheck. Electronic checks. What's the difference, exactly?
There actually isn't much of a difference between the two. In fact, you can use the terms interchangeably and be pretty safe in the industry.
ACH stands for the Automated Clearing House and is basically the process of moving funds electronically between bank accounts. ACH processing can also be called EFT (electronic funds transfer), not to confuse you further. To learn more about ACH/EFT processing, read our Payments Basic post here.
Now, an eCheck (which is just the abbreviated term for electronic check), is pretty much the same thing. Technically, you might consider the actual eCheck the payment itself, rather than the process. So the term eCheck might really be more synonymous with the term "ACH payment," to be most accurate. Think of the eCheck as the electronic check payment that replaces what used to be the paper check.
Let's make this a real-life scenario, shall we?
With ACH processing, you use your bank account information to process payments. It can also signify a credit to an account (like a payroll direct deposit, for example). There's no rule you always have to pay someone money out of the account. Money can also go into a bank account.
This might happen when you pay, let's say, your rent online. A lot of us do this nowadays because it's infinitely more convenient than trying to cram that check into that tiny slot in the middle of the night. So you go to your desktop and log on to your property management company's website. You get to the payment area, and what are you prompted to do? Enter your routing and account number.
Anytime you're asked to enter these numbers for an electronic payment, you're about to make an ACH or eCheck payment.
Another way people make eChecks? Many times, when we pay bills and submit paper checks, they are actually converted to electronic checks and submitted and processed as ACH. On occasion, you might see this in a store as a sign on the cashier counter or hung up behind it. The sign informs you that your paper check will be converted to an ACH or electronic check and processed accordingly. Businesses are required to tell you when they convert paper checks to electronic ones.
What's the point of converting paper checks?
Well, back when people used to write and accept paper checks without shame or abandon, this practice would require most businesses to store up all of these checks and deposit them at their bank for processing. Of course, the processing of paper checks used to be a much different process than it is now, as well. This was, generally speaking, a hassle.
With ACH/eCheck, businesses can simply convert their paper checks to eChecks right in their own back office by entering the numbers themselves. Or they can transform them into electronic checks by using a check reader, which is a pretty smooth way of doing it. Either way, the bank account information is entered and the ACH/eCheck payments are submitted electronically to the merchant bank and forwarded to Federal Reserve. (Need a breakdown of ACH flow? Check out this: Forte-ACH-Transaction-Flow) As electronic payments now, or ACH/eCheck payments, these checks can be processed in about four days – instead of the roughly seven to ten it used to take paper checks.
Now that's good for business.
That was a bit of a tangent, but hopefully it didn't take us too far off of the path. Now you know a little bit more about what they are and why we use them. Furthermore, you can go about freely using the terms ACH and eCheck pretty much synonymously. They refer to essentially the same thing. If you have any additional questions about ACH, eChecks, or what we offer, feel free to reach out to us in the comments or give us a call at 866.290.5400.
