I was trying to look @ the reviews & I accidentally gave it a 3* rating.  Since it makes my mouth water just reading it , I 'm sure it deserves more than 3*.  I still was unable to read any reviews-or do you just have comments??
I made this for my birthday dessert and it turned out so delicious!  I used agave instead of honey just because I had some I wanted to use up.  This may have made the pie softer than it would have been with honey but it still tasted great!  The filling is the most brilliant green.  My sister, who doesn't like avocados, liked this pie.

Legionella Across the District
Jordan Broking, Managing Editor
Filed under In Our School, In Our Town
WEST ORANGE, NJ — Across the West Orange School District, strains of legionella bacteria have been found in 9 out of the 12 schools in the district.
Legionella testing began in August at Redwood Elementary School after a student attended a summer camp program there, and got sick with what the doctor thought was Legionnaires' Disease. Fortunately, the child did not contract legionnaires, but the testing still went underway. After testing was done, 4 of the water sources tested at Redwood came back positive for low amounts of the Legionella Bacteria, which then prompted the testing of the rest of school district.
The Betty Madalena Early Learning Center, Kelly Elementary School, and Liberty Middle Schools were the only schools in the district to test negative. In the majority of the nine schools that tested positive for legionella, there was more than one strain of the bacteria found in the water supplies. All the strains of bacteria found could cause pneumonia, but like Redwood, there were low counts of the bacteria in the schools affected.
In a statement given to the public on Sept. 25, each building affected by legionella would undergo a chlorination process to remove the bacteria. Redwood underwent its chlorination process on Sept 10 and 11, with the results later testing negative for legionella after the chlorination was complete. As of recently, the rest of the schools underwent their own chlorination processes.
At the recent Board Meeting held on Oct 15, Board Secretary John Calavano briefed the Board of Education that Gregory, Hazel, St. Cloud, Redwood, and Mt Pleasant came back negative for legionella. An additional update on the rest of the schools would be given sometime in the near future. Vice President of the BOE, Mr. Robertson, asked Calavano if the boiler temps were raised in the schools affected by the legionella bacteria, to which his response was yes. Mr. Calavano also notified the board that just like the water is tested for lead every "several years" the water will continued to be tested on for legionella bacteria. No students and faculty in the district have been reported ill from Legionnaires Disease.

Riverbed Renames Products to More Clearly Describe What They Do and Convey Their Value as an Integrated Solution, the Riverbed Application Performance Platform
New Brand Names and Focus on Platform Further Position Riverbed as the Leader in Application Performance Infrastructure, an $11 Billion Market Opportunity
SAN FRANCISCO—May 12, 2014— Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD), the leader in application performance infrastructure, today introduced new product names that better describe what each product does and reflect how together they deliver unique strategic value as part of an integrated solution, the Riverbed® Application Performance Platform™. The consistent naming framework reinforces how Riverbed solutions work together to deliver optimal application and data performance across global infrastructures.
The product renaming is the next step in Riverbed's evolution and expansion into a multi-product company that offers an integrated application performance platform, a growth strategy that has been in the works for several years and unveiled by Riverbed in November 2013. Riverbed's strategy is aimed at fueling its growth in the application performance infrastructure, an $11 billion market opportunity growing at about a 5% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR).
Tweet This: #Riverbed renames products to better describe purpose & convey value as integrated #applicationperformance platform http://rvbd.ly/Qn2yqY
"Riverbed launched our first product 10 years ago with our Steelhead WAN Optimization solution, and over the last four years, we've made the journey from a single product company to something much bigger. Today, we offer the industry's most complete application performance platform to allow customers to host applications and data in whatever location makes the most business sense, regardless of distance or location, while ensuring the flawless delivery of applications and data. We call this concept location-independent computing and it has been the idea behind the solutions we've brought to market for years," said Kate Hutchison, CMO, Riverbed. "We're now updating our product brand names to better communicate what our products do and reinforce how they are part of an integrated platform that ensures applications perform as expected and data is always available when needed."
The Riverbed Application Performance Platform, which includes five product families as well as open APIs, developer tools and professional services, is the only complete solution in the market that optimizes application and data delivery and provides the visibility to detect and fix performance issues before end users notice a problem. With this Platform, companies can host applications and data in the locations that best serve the business - in datacenters, in branch offices, in the cloud or any combination thereof - while ensuring flawless application delivery, better leveraging global resources, radically reducing the cost of running their business and maximizing employee productivity.
The new product family names build off Riverbed's flagship product, Steelhead. Each begins with a word that signifies the strength of infrastructure and celebrates Riverbed's heritage, Steel:
Riverbed® SteelHead™ (formerly Steelhead) - the #1 WAN optimization solution that delivers applications and data at the fastest speeds across the optimal networks for the lowest cost.
Riverbed® SteelFusion™ (formerly Granite) - the only branch converged infrastructure that delivers local performance, data centralization, instant recovery and lower TCO.
Riverbed® SteelApp™ (formerly Stingray) - the #1 virtual application delivery controller (ADC) for scalable, secure and elastic delivery of enterprise, cloud and e-commerce applications.
Riverbed® SteelStore™ (formerly Whitewater) - the industry's most scalable cloud storage appliance that reduces data protection costs by up to 80%, integrates seamlessly into existing backup infrastructure and eliminates tape backup.
Riverbed® SteelCentral™ (formerly OPNET, Cascade and NEOP) - the only performance management suite that combines user experience, application and network performance management to provide the visibility needed to diagnose and cure issues before end users notice a problem, call the help desk to complain or jump to another web site out of frustration.
Riverbed® SteelScript™ (formerly FlyScript) - open APIs and developer tools to customize and automate application performance infrastructure from Riverbed.
Support from Industry Analysts
"Industry watchers and customers alike have recognized Riverbed as the leader in the WAN Optimization space for many years now," said Rohit Mehra, Vice President, Network Infrastructure, IDC. "As WAN networking technologies and related application performance and management domains have evolved, lines continue to blur across many of these application and performance optimization solutions. Staying focused on providing end-to-end application performance, and as a key player in the network and application infrastructure eco-system, it is refreshing to see Riverbed introduce a newer, simplified positioning and naming for its portfolio that is now significantly broader than the WAN Optimization Steelhead solutions it is most known for."
"The Riverbed Application Performance Platform and new naming convention allows Riverbed to talk about its products more intelligently and cohesively," said Steve Duplessie, Founder and Sr. Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "Riverbed has gone through a significant transformation by broadening the product portfolio over the past few years, but it's been hard for the market to keep pace. This new way of classifying Riverbed technologies will help buyers to see the total value opportunities availed to them."
Riverbed's new product brand names are now live on Riverbed.com, and customers can expect to see the user interfaces of Riverbed products evolve to reflect the new names in the coming months timed to software updates and new appliance releases. The new Riverbed brand identity is now visible at the Company's new headquarters and customer briefing center in San Francisco (officially opening in June), and additional offices and customer briefing centers globally will transition to the new product branding in the coming quarters.
Riverbed has also changed the names of some form factors and product descriptors, which can be found in a quick reference guide at http://www.riverbed.com/products/#Product_List.

Hardly a day goes by without someone mentioning a new "app" that performs a function that we all need to keep ourselves sane during our work day or to have more fun during our leisure time. If there is a need, then there is someone out there thinking of an app solution that can help us perform it a little bit better and faster or a little more amusing than we ever did before.
It is hard to complain about all these great conveniences and new found capabilities that tend to make our lives simpler and keep us entertained. Those individual apps are terrific, but they present us with a new-found problem. The challenge is that every given slice of life is split up into a multitude of little tasks that we still need to put together. So what might work a little better for me? Now that we have many apps that perform individual tasks well, we need much better connectivity across all these capabilities. To make life even easier for consumers, more standards across all these applications are required to allow multiple tasks to be put together to perform more effective work units, eliminating the need for consumers to store hundreds of individual apps on their phones and tablets.
"What is missing now is the ability to string individual apps together in a reasonable way to really make life simpler"
Here is an example of what I would like to propose: As I'm driving to the airport to catch a flight I would like my navigational app to compute the time it will take me to get to the airport, look at my calendar for the scheduled time of my flight, check with the airline to see if the flight is leaving on time, check the GPS on my phone and tell me that I will not be able to make the flight due to traffic congestion problems ahead. Then I would like to be presented with three alternative flights that I can actually make, along with the surcharge or I would need to pay for each new ticket and the likelihood or I can actually board each of these flights, given the expected size of the waitlist for each flight. Once I decide which flight to choose, please make my reservation, present my card on file for payment for business trips and my card on file for pleasure trips, confirm my boarding status with the airline and store the boarding pass on my phone. Should I go on? Please let me know the best place to park at the airport, for the length of time of my trip and which location is also in closest proximity to my departure gate. Do you still want more integration? When I return please guide me to my car and find any coupons available for me to present to the attendant at the gate. Finally, save all my mileage for the trip, the cost of airline tickets, calculated tolls paid along the way and parking fees for the trip in a file, which I can submit upon my return to the office. I can go on, but I think you get the point.
There is either an app or Google results that can perform all the tasks that I described above. What is missing now is the ability to string all these individual apps together in a reasonable way to really make life simpler. As the appification of everything continues to expand, then, in my humble opinion, the missing ingredient will be integration across apps or super apps that make daily work efforts easier, without ever having to string together two dozen different apps to get the work done.
Who will be most successful in fulfilling this consumer and business need which will continue to grow as many smaller tasks get digitized with new apps? Will it be Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon or someone we don't even know today? This integration has the potential to be a major step forward in automation, especially as the IoT (Internet of Things) era starts to get more steam. The possibilities for these integrations will become nearly endless in combination with IoT. As every device gets ready to be connected to the internet, the ability to connect multiple tasks to complete larger work units will also become infinitely more interesting.
What this will mean for different service companies' digital portfolios is an opportunity to improve integration of the services they provide in a unified and consolidated picture for their clients. Weather the company is a financial services company, auto rental, hotel management, travel agency, auto repair, consumer products, hospital services, entertainment company, medical practice etc. this ability to provide an end-to-end digital service model has the potential to transform that business and significantly improve all services provided to their clients. More importantly the companies that chose to provide more integrated digital services to their clients have the potential to significantly increase market share and attract more business from their siloed competitors.
Are you ready for our future?


Written by New Jersey Estate Probate and Administration Lawyer Fredrick P. Niemann, Esq.
Estate probate laws in New Jersey require that an application for Probate of a Last Will and Testament and the appointment of the Executor must wait ten (10) days following the death of an individual. The Surrogate will accept the paperwork for probate before expiration of the 10 day period but will not admit the will to probate until after the expiration of this 10-day period. This delay period is designed to permit any person with an interest in the estate to file an objection (also known as a "caveat") to the admission of a Will to probate. The term "caveat" means objection. This objection to the probate of a will generally means that the authenticity or validity of the Will is being challenged in a "Will Contest" or "Probate Dispute" by someone who is dissatisfied with some or all of the provisions set forth in the Last Will.
Only when the Will is inspected by the County Surrogate and found to be authentic and legally executed as required by law with no objections having been filed by heirs and interested persons through a caveat does the Surrogate issue the "Certificate(s) of Executorship" or letters of administration which will enable the executor or estate administrator to act with the same power as the deceased person over estate property (i.e., cash, checks, withdrawal of money from bank accounts, transfer of property and real estate, etc.).
Do you feel that a caveat should be filed against a Last Will or that the Will has a problem which should prevent it from being probated? Do you object to the qualifications of the proposed executor of the Will or the administrator of the estate? If so, please visit our page entitled "NJ Estate/Trust Litigation Lawsuits" found in this site (click here).
What Are Some Grounds For Opposing the Appointment or Removing an Executor/Administrator From an Estate?
The mere existence of a conflict of interest or appearance of a conflict of interest is not a cause for the automatic disqualification and removal of an executor/administrator (commonly called a fiduciary) since fiduciaries are often named as beneficiaries with others under the governing document. Many times the terms of the will or trust create the conflict by naming the fiduciary as both beneficiary and estate representative. However, if the conflict of interest either causes (or is likely to cause) a maternally adverse impact upon the estate caused by the fiduciary's conduct, or substantially threatens to make his or her conduct inconsistent with his or her obligations to the estate or trust, then removal of the fiduciary is warranted and may be granted by a court.
The disqualification and/or the removal of a fiduciary during the probate process will be exercised sparingly by a chancery court. To be successful generally requires that the dissatisfied person prove by clear and convincing evidence the existence of a real and substantial conflict and/or other disqualifying reasons. So long as an executor or trustee acts or promises to act in good faith and within the scope of his or her powers he or she will generally be successfully appointed if challenged. But there are exceptions.
If a beneficiary claims hostility, tension, personal dislike or malice against him or her as the basis for objecting to or as grounds for the removal of an executor or a trustee, the court must determine not only the truthfulness of such feelings but whether such a relationship has either resulted in actual acts of misconduct or has created a conflict of interest which appears likely to endanger the estate, trust or the welfare of the beneficiary going forward. A court need not wait until such misconduct has taken place or a conflict of interest has actually taken place thereby interfering with a fiduciary obligation, before the court will remove a trustee or executor/administrator where it finds that such action is warranted "to protect the estate/trust against possible future jeopardy".
What is the Personal Liability of an Executor, Trustee or Administrator Arising from Ownership or Control of an Estate?
A fiduciary can be held individually liable for obligations arising from the ownership or control of the estate or for torts committed in the course of his or her administration of the estate under New Jersey law only if he or she is personally at fault. In other words, you're not automatically liable for damages and legal claims just because you serve as the agent of the estate or trust. But you must be cautious however as there are many exceptions to this general rule which can create unpleasant and unintended consequences to you.
A Dispute Over an Executor's Commission: What is a Permissible Commission Rate?
I recently read a new case and wanted to share it with you. The issue involved an executor's commission and whether the commission under NJ law is to be calculated as a percentage of the fair market value of the estate, or the net value of the estate, after subtracting the outstanding mortgages and debts of the estate payable at the time the fiduciary sold estate assets for the beneficiaries.
In this case, a bank had become the Administrator of the estate and sold real estate for $172,500. After paying off the principal mortgage and interest of $132,017.94, the net value of the property was $40,482.06.
The bank filed the Estate's transfer inheritance tax return, which included an administration expense deduction of $8,625. The bank calculated the deduction by taking 5% of the Estate's gross value, of $172,500. After examining the return, the Director of Taxation issued a Notice of Assessment denying the full value of the Estate's administration expense deduction. The director allowed an administration expense deduction of only $2,004, which was calculated by taking 5% of the net value of the property (i.e., $40,482.06).
The Estate filed a protest with the Transfer Inheritance Tax Branch challenging the Director's Notice of Assessment.
The Estate argued that NJ Law authorizes the deduction of "ordinary expenses of administration, including the fees allowed executors and administrators," in determining the fair market value of the property for Inheritance Tax purposes. The amount of the deduction, the Estate argued, is calculated by taking 5% of the first $200,000 of the gross value of the estate. Accordingly, the Estate contended that the allowable deduction from an executors commission from the taxable estate should be 5% of $172,500 or $8,625.
Moreover, the Director contended that it had interpenetrated the term "ordinary expenses of administration" deduction consistently for nearly thirty years. The Director argued that since this long-standing administrative construction of NJ laws has remained undisturbed by the Legislature, it must be accorded substantial weight as evidence of conformity with the legislative intent of the statute.
Funeral and last illness expenses – A reasonable sum for funeral expenses and last illness.
Transfer taxes of other states or the United States – Transfer taxes paid or payable to other states or territories or the District of Columbia or foreign countries on any property the transfer of which is taxable.
The New Jersey Transfer Inheritance Tax is imposed upon the transfer of property based upon the fair market value of such property. Fair market value is ascertained by deducting from the market value of any property, the debts, expenses and taxes which constitute an encumbrance upon the property of a decedent. No deductions are allowed, however, against any property which is exempt or not subject to the New Jersey Inheritance Tax.
Thus the state's position was reversed and the commission based on the fair market value of all estate property without offset for liens/debts was affirmed. This is a big deal. It means the executor/administrator can calculate his/her commission based on the fair market value of all property that is part of the probate estate without subtracting liens and debts.
1% of all corpus for each additional fiduciary provided that no one fiduciary shall be entitled to any greater commission than that which would be allowed if there were but one fiduciary involved.

Hair pulling allegedly led to 12-hour weekend standoff in Orrington
Courtesy of Penobscot County Jail
Jason Ashe, Rochelle Gleason and Stephen Nason
By Judy Harrison, BDN Staff • July 22, 2019 5:50 pm
Updated: July 23, 2019 7:18 am
A hair-pulling incident allegedly led to an assault and a 12-hour police standoff on Saturday in Orrington, according to the Penobscot County district attorney's office.
Three people charged in the incident made their first appearances before a judge Monday at the Penobscot Judicial Center in Bangor.
Stephen Nason, 33, and Rochelle Gleason, 37, both of Orrington, and Jason Ashe, 33, of Glenburn each were charged with robbery, a Class A crime, and assault, a Class C crime. In addition to those, Nason is charged with creating a police standoff, a Class E crime.
The trio and the alleged victim were partying at the Johnson Mill Road home of Nason's mother when the incident began shortly before 5 a.m. Saturday. Gleason allegedly attacked the victim, punching her in the face and mouth after Gleason reportedly accused the victim of pulling her hair, Assistant District Attorney Brendan Trainor said.
The two men and the woman allegedly took items out of the victim's purse before she was able to escape and call the police.
When police arrived, the three refused to come out of the house, according to Trainor. The Maine State Police tactical team was called in at about 8 a.m.
Negotiators convinced Gleason to come out at about 2:30 p.m., the prosecutor said. Ashe followed several hours later, and Nason finally surrendered at about 7:05 p.m.
All three were arrested and taken to the Penobscot County Jail in Bangor.
At the hearing Monday, Superior Court Justice Ann Murray did not ask any of the defendants to enter pleas because they have not yet been indicted by the Penobscot County grand jury.
Gleason's bail was set at $5,000 cash. Nason's was set at $25,000 cash. Ashe's bail was set at $10,000 cash or $50,000 in property.
All three are next due in court Sept. 9.
Nason's criminal history includes creating a standoff at the same location in April 2011.
If convicted of robbery, the most serious charge, all face up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $50,000. On the assault charge, each faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. The charge of creating a standoff is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

I am very excited that Vanderbilt University in Nashville is working with the Mediation Group in Tennessee to try to bring a collaborative law training to us in late August. Information about the training is on my facebook page and I am hopeful we will have the brochure available to send out via email soon.
I have also been working with a group of women in Jackson, TN to create a Community Mediation Center. We are looking at funding streams that include grants or contracts, sliding fee scale and mediator training. It seems to me that it might actually work particularly if we can find space at a local church to use.
Finally, there is a bit of chatter going on involving civil legal services providers and the use of ADR. I don't know why but there seems to be a strong, pervasive perception that litigation is the best means to justice. I very much disagree and believe that ADR is more empowering to people than any litigation might be. It does bother me, though, the perception. I suspect it is more prevalent than not.

Is Alexander Technique the Key to Reshaping Productivity?
I had suffered from lower back pain for around six years and regular chiropractic wasn't really helping me. It was only by chance that I saw an Alexander Technique course advertised and it turned out to be such a fantastic investment in myself. After my first lesson I had my first pain free week in six years!! Now that the course has finished, I have remained pain free. I am now aware of how much less effort can be put on my body just by doing things in the Alexander Technique way.


In this document we will cover Kong's proxying capabilities by explaining its routing capabilities and internal workings in details.
proxy_listen, which defines a list of addresses/ports on which Kong will accept public traffic from clients and proxy it to your upstream services (8000 by default).
admin_listen, which also defines a list of addresses and ports, but those should be restricted to only be accessed by administrators, as they expose Kong's configuration capabilities: the Admin API (8001 by default).
Note: Starting with 0.13.0, the API entity was deprecated. This document will cover proxying with the new Routes and Services entities.
See an older version of this document if you are using 0.12 or below.
client: Refers to the downstream client making requests to Kong's proxy port.
Service: Service entities, as the name implies, are abstractions of each of your own upstream services. Examples of Services would be a data transformation microservice, a billing API, etc.
Route: This refers to the Kong Routes entity. Routes are entrypoints into Kong, and defining rules for a request to be matched, and routed to a given Service.
Plugin: This refers to Kong "plugins", which are pieces of business logic that run in the proxying lifecycle. Plugins can be configured through the Admin API - either globally (all incoming traffic) or on specific Routes and Services.
From a high-level perspective, Kong listens for HTTP traffic on its configured proxy port(s) (8000 and 8443 by default). Kong will evaluate any incoming HTTP request against the Routes you have configured and try to find a matching one. If a given request matches the rules of a specific Route, Kong will process proxying the request. Because each Route is linked to a Service, Kong will run the plugins you have configured on your Route and its associated Service, and then proxy the request upstream.
You can manage Routes via Kong's Admin API. The hosts, paths, and methods attributes of Routes define rules for matching incoming HTTP requests.
"message": "no route and no API found with those values"
Note: this message mentions "APIs" since for backwards-compatibility reasons, Kong 0.13 still supports the API entity (and tries to match a request against any configured API if no Route was matched first).
The Configuring a Service quickstart guide explains how Kong is configured via the Admin API.
This request instructs Kong to register a Service named "foo-service", which points to http://foo-service.com (your upstream).
Note: the url argument is a shorthand argument to populate the protocol, host, port, and path attributes at once.
We have now configured a Route to match incoming requests matching the given hosts and paths, and forward them to the foo-service we configured, thus proxying this traffic to http://foo-service.com.
Kong is a transparent proxy, and it will by default forward the request to your upstream service untouched, with the exception of various headers such as Connection, Date, and others as required by the HTTP specifications.
Let's now discuss how Kong matches a request against the configured hosts, paths and methods properties (or fields) of a Route. Note that all three of these fields are optional, but at least one of them must be specified.
All three of these requests satisfy all the conditions set in the Route definition.
All three of these requests satisfy only two of configured conditions. The first request's path is not a match for any of the configured paths, same for the second request's HTTP method, and the third request's Host header.
Now that we understand how the hosts, paths, and methods properties work together, let's explore each property individually.
Routing a request based on its Host header is the most straightforward way to proxy traffic through Kong, especially since this is the intended usage of the HTTP Host header. Kong makes it easy to do via the hosts field of the Route entity.
To provide flexibility, Kong allows you to specify hostnames with wildcards in the hosts field. Wildcard hostnames allow any matching Host header to satisfy the condition, and thus match a given Route.
When proxying, Kong's default behavior is to set the upstream request's Host header to the hostname specified in the Service's host. The preserve_host field accepts a boolean flag instructing Kong not to do so.
Another way for a Route to be matched is via request paths. To satisfy this routing condition, a client request's path must be prefixed with one of the values of the paths attribute.
For each of these requests, Kong detects that their URL path is prefixed with one of the Routes's paths values. By default, Kong would then proxy the request upstream without changing the URL path.
When proxying with path prefixes, the longest paths get evaluated first. This allow you to define two Routes with two paths: /service and /service/resource, and ensure that the former does not "shadow" the latter.
Kong supports regular expression pattern matching for an Route's paths field via PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression). You can assign paths as both prefixes and regexes to a Route at the same time.
The provided regexes are evaluated with the a PCRE flag (PCRE_ANCHORED), meaning that they will be constrained to match at the first matching point in the path (the root / character).
Prefix paths are always evaluated first.
As usual, a request must still match a Route's hosts and methods properties as well, and Kong will traverse your Routes until it finds one that matches the most rules (see [Routing priorities][proxy-routing-priorities]).
Note that curl does not automatically URL encode your payload, and note the usage of --data-urlencode, which prevents the + character to be URL decoded and interpreted as a space ` ` by Kong's Admin API.
The methods field allows matching the requests depending on their HTTP method. It accepts multiple values. Its default value is empty (the HTTP method is not used for routing).
But it would not match a POST or DELETE request. This allows for much more granularity when configuring plugins on Routes. For example, one could imagine two Routes pointing to the same service: one with unlimited unauthenticated GET requests, and a second one allowing only authenticated and rate-limited POST requests (by applying the authentication and rate limiting plugins to such requests).
A Route may define matching rules based on its hosts, paths, and methods fields. For Kong to match an incoming request to a Route, all existing fields must be satisfied. However, Kong allows for quite some flexibility by allowing two or more Routes to be configured with fields containing the same values - when this occurs, Kong applies a priority rule.
The rule is: when evaluating a request, Kong will first try to match the Routes with the most rules.
The second Route has a hosts field and a methods field, so it will be evaluated first by Kong. By doing so, we avoid the first Route "shadowing" calls intended for the second one.
Following this logic, if a third Route was to be configured with a hosts field, a methods field, and a uris field, it would be evaluated first by Kong.
The proxying rules above detail how Kong forwards incoming requests to your upstream services. Below, we detail what happens internally between the time Kong matches an HTTP request with a registered Route, and the actual forwarding of the request.
Kong implements load balancing capabilities to distribute proxied requests across a pool of instances of an upstream service.
You can find more information about configuring load balancing by consulting the Load Balancing Reference.
Plugins can be configured to run globally (for all proxied traffic) or on specific Routes and Services. In both cases, you must create a plugin configuration via the Admin API.
Once a Route has been matched (and its associated Service entity), Kong will run plugins associated to either of those entities. Plugins configured on a Route run before plugins configured on a Service, but otherwise, the usual rules of plugins association apply.
These configured plugins will run their access phase, which you can find more information about in the Plugin development guide.
Connection: keep-alive, to allow for reusing the upstream connections.
X-Real-IP: <remote_addr>, where $remote_addr is the variable bearing the same name provided by ngx_http_core_module. Please note that the $remote_addr is likely overridden by ngx_http_realip_module.
X-Forwarded-For: <address>, where <address> is the content of $realip_remote_addr provided by ngx_http_realip_module appended to the request header with the same name.
X-Forwarded-Proto: <protocol>, where <protocol> is the protocol used by the client. In the case where $realip_remote_addr is one of the trusted addresses, the request header with the same name gets forwarded if provided. Otherwise, the value of the $scheme variable provided by ngx_http_core_module will be used.
X-Forwarded-Host: <host>, where <host> is the host name sent by the client. In the case where $realip_remote_addr is one of the trusted addresses, the request header with the same name gets forwarded if provided. Otherwise, the value of the $host variable provided by ngx_http_core_module will be used.
X-Forwarded-Port: <port>, where <port> is the port of the server which accepted a request. In the case where $realip_remote_addr is one of the trusted addresses, the request header with the same name gets forwarded if provided. Otherwise, the value of the $server_port variable provided by ngx_http_core_module will be used.
The number of retries: this can be configured per Service using the retries property. See the Admin API for more details on this.
What exactly constitutes an error: here Kong uses the Nginx defaults, which means an error or timeout occurring while establishing a connection with the server, passing a request to it, or reading the response headers.
Kong receives the response from the upstream service and sends it back to the downstream client in a streaming fashion. At this point Kong will execute subsequent plugins added to the Route and/or Service that implement a hook in the header_filter phase.
Once the headers are sent to the client, Kong will start executing registered plugins for the Route and/or Service that implement the body_filter hook. This hook may be called multiple times, due to the streaming nature of Nginx. Each chunk of the upstream response that is successfully processed by such body_filter hooks is sent back to the client. You can find more information about the body_filter hook in the Plugin development guide.
As a practical use-case and example of the flexibility offered by Kong's proxying capabilities, let's try to implement a "fallback Route", so that in order to avoid Kong responding with an HTTP 404, "no route found", we can catch such requests and proxy them to a special upstream service, or apply a plugin to it (such a plugin could, for example, terminate the request with a different status code or response without proxying the request).
As you can guess, any HTTP request made to Kong would actually match this Route, since all URIs are prefixed by the root character /. As we know from the [Request path][proxy-request-path] section, the longest URL paths are evaluated first by Kong, so the / path will eventually be evaluated last by Kong, and effectively provide a "fallback" Route, only matched as a last resort. You can then send traffic to a special Service or apply any plugin you wish on this Route.
Kong provides a way to dynamically serve SSL certificates on a per-connection basis. SSL certificates are directly handled by the core, and configurable via the Admin API. Clients connecting to Kong over TLS must support the Server Name Indication extension to make use of this feature.
When establishing the connection and negotiating the SSL handshake, if your client sends ssl-example.com as part of the SNI extension, Kong will serve the cert.pem certificate previously configured.
Routes have a protocols property to restrict the client protocol they should listen for. This attribute accepts a set of values, which can be http or https.
Kong will accept ws and wss connections on its respective http and https ports. To enforce TLS connections from clients, set the protocols property of the Route to https only.
When setting up the Service to point to your upstream WebSocket service, you should carefully pick the protocol you want to use between Kong and the upstream. If you want to use TLS (wss), then the upstream WebSocket service must be defined using the https protocol in the Service protocol property, and the proper port (usually 443). To connect without TLS (ws), then the http protocol and port (usually 80) should be used in protocol instead.
Through this guide, we hope you gained knowledge of the underlying proxying mechanism of Kong, from how does a request match a Route to be routed to its associated Service, on to how to allow for using the WebSocket protocol or setup dynamic SSL certificates.
If you haven't already, we suggest that you also read the Load balancing Reference, as it closely relates to the topic we just covered.

NORWALK, Conn. -- Household chefs looking to get a leg up on serving their Thanksgiving meal can sharpen their skills with advice from Wusthof of Norwalk.
In Wusthof's informative video featured above, Executive Chef Mike Garaghty says people should start the turkey carving process by separating the leg and thigh from the body. In both instances, listen for a "pop" as the joint breaks. That will help ensure that carvers do not cut through the bone.
Using a carving knife of rougly nine inches, carefully remove the breast from the bird and place it on a carving board. Starting at the small end of the breast, use long, even long of about one-quarter inch. "Using a really sharp knife will help you slide right through the meat with ease, while a dull knife will separate the turkey and make it hard for you to cut," said Garaghty. "No matter the job you have in the kitchen, using the right tool for the job makes all the difference."
Andrea Arnold, store manager at the Wusthof Outlet Store in Norwalk, said sharpening knives before the big day can also help ensure a smooth cut. "Carvers can use smaller knives if they are unsure of themselves in handling a larger blade," said Arnold. "However for both professional and casual cooks, having an understanding of the knife can make or break a meal."
Meal preparation is a big part of the cooking process, so making sure everything is available and ready for use is paramount during the holiday season. "If you want your meal to look and taste as good as you want, ensure you have the correct knives and cookware in your kitchen," said Arnold.
Wusthof Outlet Store in Norwalk will hold an inventory sale on its assortment of knives, kitchen accessories and more from Dec. 7-9. The sale begins Thursday, Dec. 7 at 10 a.m.
Find out more about finding the right carving knife on the Wusthof website, or visit the store at 333 Wilson Ave. in Norwalk.


The Chinese media is known for its nationalistic attacks against other countries that Beijing has opposing views and positions with. They vehemently condemn parties they deem as enemies over different issues and crises, and have always seemingly framed the government on the right track.
Chin-Chuan Lee, author of 2013 book Chinese Media, Global Contexts, said the Chinese press has been portraying their country "as being encircled by an ocean of potential enemies who are out to destroy it." Generally, the framing has a mixture of "collective victimhood and historical memories in seemingly contradictory modes of xenophobia and narcissism," he added.
The Philippines, one of China's rival countries in the contested South China Sea, is among the objects of insinuations, tirades and insults in Chinese news articles, editorials, columns and op-eds.
In my 2017 master's thesis at the University of Santo Tomas Graduate School, it appeared that the Chinese media considered the Philippines a totally illegitimate claimant in the disputed waters, with the overwhelming articulation of bias to the government's position: China has undisputable sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the islands and reefs being claimed by the Philippines; and that Beijing's supposed aggression and militarization in the waters were an exercise of self-preservation and self-defense against countries posing threat to the region.
Deploying necessary national defense facilities on its own territory is China's exercise of self-preservation and defense, a right granted by international law to sovereign states, said Hong Lei at a regular press conference.
Hong said that the Philippines' unilateral initiation of international arbitration does not comply with international law and runs counter to the consensus reached between China and the Philippines as well as relevant provisions of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and the action will never be accepted by China (People's Daily, China urges Australia not to meddle in the South China Sea issue, February 17, 2016).
The content analysis was performed on published articles of China Daily, People's Daily and Global Times – three of the most read and controversial Chinese publications in the world for translating the articles in several languages, targeting foreign audiences and for being bold in their write-ups – during the pre-arbitration months of January to March 2016.
While the study did not determine the amount of government directives and censorship to the newspapers on the issue, it was evident that the media units stayed within the lines of the government's perspective with nationalistic approach.
To prevent any challenge to the authority, the United States-based non-profit think tank Council on Foreign Relations said that the Chinese government is heavily controlling both traditional and new media. In the 2007 book The Rise of China's Public Diplomacy, Ingrid d'Hooghe added that the media organizations in China are all state-owned and although the possibilities for journalists and editors to bring their own news and messages have increased, much of the content of the television and radio programs, newspapers and magazines is still dictated by official policy lines.
In fact, the Chinese press remains one of the most restrictive media outlets around the globe. In the 2017 World Press Freedom Index, China stuck on the 176th place, close behind the bottom three – Turkmenistan, Eritrea and North Korea – where freedom of information is non-existent.
Further, the study showed that the three Chinese newspapers used attribution of responsibility frame in many of its articles. The Philippines, as well as the United States and Japan, were said to be the ones responsible for the dispute and accused of counterbalancing the Asian giant.
China has been exercising self-restraint amid fishing disputes with the Philippines in the South China Sea. However, Manila has captured and sentenced Chinese fishermen several times, and even shot Taiwanese fishermen dead. Manila's barbarity finally triggered a standoff near Huangyan Island in 2012. Since then, China has been in full control of the island.
Now, Manila hopes it can bring US troops back, like a Mafia gangster asking their "godfather" for help. The Philippines, obviously aware that international arbitration has no jurisdiction over territorial disputes, filed a petition to an international court in Hague. China's non-participation in the arbitration is protected by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, but the Philippines, with the support of the US, has used this chance to taint China's image internationally (Global Times, No more ship-grounding tricks allowed in South China Sea, March 2, 2016).
In China, some say the US seeks to "contain China" and thwart its historic rise. They see the US encircling China by alliances, explicit or implicit, with Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam and India; coercing China to open its markets to control its industries and exploit its consumers; restricting Chinese companies' operations and acquisitions and mergers in the US; hacking China's computers and sending spy planes to patrol China's shores; fomenting "extremism, separatism and terrorism" in the Tibet and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous regions; and injecting Western values to overwhelm Chinese values, eroding China's independence and undermining its sovereignty (China Daily, 'Asymmetric harmony' for US-China ties, March 31, 2016).
Tokyo intends to take advantage of the South China Sea disputes to cause trouble for Beijing. Abe's government expects Manila and Hanoi to be its two pivots in the South China Sea to contain Beijing. Thus, Japan has offered substantial economic and military aid to the Philippines and Vietnam in exchange for their strategic support (Global Times, Tokyo looks to Manila to strengthen pivot to South China Sea, January 28, 2016).
The pattern on which the Philippines was presented as a fellow claimant in the West Philippine Sea, as a bilateral partner of China, as an ally of the U.S. and as a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was clear: Manila was unreasonable and unfair.
No matter what it does and what its excuse is, the Philippines can't hide the fact it is the cause of the frictions between it and China.
For example, despite its knowledge that the territorial dispute does not come under the jurisdiction of the arbitration tribunal in The Hague, Manila has still submitted its territorial dispute with China in the South China Sea to the tribunal for arbitration in an attempt to bring shame on Beijing and solicit the support of international opinion.
It is the Philippines' breach of its promises and the normal code of conduct for countries that have prompted China to take reasonable and moderate countermeasures in the South China Sea (Global Times, Accusations can't distort peaceful truth, January 7, 2016).
Although the Philippines was highly criticized for allegedly acting an illegal, untrustworthy and unreasonable behavior after it filed an arbitration case, supposedly refused dialogue and complicated the dispute, the newspapers stated that the so-called provocative moves were only a result of behind-the- scenes instigation and political manipulation of outside forces who want to contain China.
A former colony of the Americans and Japanese, the articles described the Filipinos as kind-hearted for forgetting its past sufferings, and even allowing itself to be used by these powers to counter China and contain its rise.
"The Philippines is an ancient friend and good trading partner with China," Lee said. "Let us not forget that the two countries have never had any history of conflict or war. In fact, both countries were allies during World War II in jointly resisting the Japanese military invasion of Asia (China Daily, Mutual benefits seen in links with Philippines, March 8, 2016).
There was a layer in the presentation of China's position on the West Philippine Sea issue. Instead of merely arguing Beijing's supposed legitimate and sovereign rights in the disputed waters, the newspapers equipped the write-ups with comments and interpretations why the other parties' moves and claims in the region were unreasonable and unfair.
China has been exercising great restraint in the disputes over the Nansha Islands, so the US should stop uttering groundless accusations and pay more attention to its allies' ulterior motives in the region, Gu said.
"The region may consider exacerbating tensions if the US and its allies continue being hostile to China's legitimate right to protect its own territory and efforts to promote regional security," Chen added (Global Times, Countries outside region play up test flights in South China Sea, January 6, 2016).
Also a common pattern in the sample articles were the presence of evaluation of concepts, and then a judgments whether something was acceptable or not.
Referring to Kerry's China visit, China's foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying emphasized China's wish that Kerry's visit will help with "healthy" Sino-US ties.
"We hope that through this visit the two sides could strengthen cooperation in various areas and promote the healthy and stable development of bilateral ties," Hua said at a regular press conference on Monday.
China welcomes Kerry to discuss proper measures to sanction North Korea, but his visit clearly has ulterior motives to contain China, experts said.
No matter if it's the North Korea issue or the South China Sea issue, the US is attempting to use a unified strategy to contain China by driving a wedge between China and its neighbors, and to realize its ultimate goal of a "rebalance to Asia" strategy, Zha Xiaogang, a research fellow with the Shanghai Institute for International Studies, told the Global Times (Global Times, Kerry to visit China with N.Korea agenda, January 26, 2016).
The results of this study appeared that the newspapers used a sophisticated way of multimodality in what could be perceived as a bid to solicit an audience, as well as to imbed semiotic, generic and technological understanding.
The political and ideological views of the government-run publications can be expressed in the choice of vocabularies and different grammatical structures.
The Chinese newspapers represented the Philippines as a specific group. Certain naming strategy, therefore, foregrounded aspects of the country's identity.
To illustrate this, the figure below shows a word cloud that briefly looked at the Chinese media's representations of the Philippines, which was often constructed as a problem.
The Philippines was generally described negatively with the common use of "weak," "cause of friction," "groundless," "unlawful," "unfaithful," "untrustworthy," "shameless," "unreasonable" and "erroneous," among others.
To add a layer to it, the newspapers presented China favorably without discussing its lapses on the dispute. As examples, below are some titles that apparently served the interest of the government.
The articles were structured based on the biases of the media units, and that the way in which the articles were structured created a conflict of interest that acted as propaganda.
As an emerging nation, China will not be brought to its knees by external forces. Given Chinese diplomatic logic, which goes "We will not attack unless we are attacked; if we are attacked, we will certainly counterattack," Beijing is likely to be forced to resort to militarization while confronting US actions in the South China Sea (Global Times, Obama raises S.China Sea tensions to consolidate diplomatic legacy, March 9, 2016).
The Chinese media's kind of representation foregrounded the Philippines' supposed unreasonable and unfair behavior on the issue. The multimodality in the texts was used to form part of wider media discourses on the Philippines that were ideological in a sense that they created patterns of exclusion and sometimes directed the attention away from the central issue.
The result of the poll shows that the real world neighbors netizens want to move away from include Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, North Korea, India, Afghanistan and Indonesia, and the neighbors they want are Sweden, New Zealand and Germany (Global Times, If only China was next to Sweden, sigh netizens, January 16, 2016).
Among the 10 ASEAN members, only the Philippines publicly adopts a pro-US attitude, but it does not stand in complete opposition to China (Global Times, Sunnylands wrong place to discuss South China Sea row, February 15, 2016).

Our goal is to inspire, empower and promote social entrepreneurs who are trying to improve our future. We provide free information and resources that can help anyone develop, finance, and advance their ideas. We also write about world issues and the people who are trying to solve them in an effort to raise awareness and inspire others to do the same.
As avid fans of social entrepreneurs, one of the things we realized was how little attention these organizations were receiving for the amazing work they were doing. Sure, they were written up by popular publications and had successful crowdfunding campaigns, but those were only temporary moments of exposure. We want to help them spread their ideas 24/7 365 because they're currently receiving only a fraction of the attention the world has to offer.
Vision Launch Discover is a listing site established to make it easy for people to find social initiatives making a positive impact in the world. As avid proponents of this activity, we wanted to create one central platform where people could go to find exciting social initiatives taking place in the world. When creating the listings, we use the organizations own information to describe them and link their contact information (website and social media pages) when available.
Vision Launch provides organizations listings but we're also a patronage site where social entrepreneurs can create their own customized page and accept different types of contributions with no time limits or minimum funding requirements.
There are dozens, if not hundreds of crowdfunding platforms bringing amazing ideas to life. If you're an artist, musician, fashion designer, video game creator, author, filmmaker, or even a YouTube celebrity, there are a multitude of sites you can use to increase your fan base and raise money. If you want to sell equity in your company, or you're a charity raising money for a cause, there are plenty of platforms to choose from too. However, there are very few platforms specifically dedicated to social entrepreneurs and although crowdfunding provides excellent exposure for new ideas, it's only a temporary event.
With over a billion websites and counting on the internet, gaining exposure to a new website requires time, effort, expertise, and financing. Most small organizations cannot afford to hire a professional digital marketing agency. Social media was once a great way for small organizations to spread the word, but that changed when the largest platforms decided to restrict their user's organic reach. Now you have to pay to reach all of your followers. We want to circumvent these limitations by offering one centrally themed platform professionally marketed to the right audience.
Social entrepreneurs from all over the world have dedicated their lives to a higher calling and are trying to realize their vision for a better future. They have a burning desire to fix a societal problem and won't stop until they've found the solution. These people are making a difference in the world every day, and in an age where global challenges are mounting, solutions just may be our greatest commodity.
The time is now to shift the balance of power back towards the people in the world. By establishing one central platform based on simple but powerful ideas, we can unite like-minded people and accelerate real change. A platform that can support, encourage, and inspire more people to create solutions and allow anyone to take an active role in supporting the future they want to see.


In ancient Israel, the priests were in charge of lighting the lampstand of God. But they weren't just those who lit the lights, they were in charge of keeping the light burning. As God's priests, we now have to learn to be keepers of the light. Many believers live as if God's light doesn't need keeping, as if it just burns by itself. It's not enough that you lit the light of God in your heart. You have to maintain it, trimming the wick and replenishing the oil to keep your lamp burning. God's light never goes out. However, our lamps can go out if we don't keep them. And they will go out if we don't keep them.
1 Peter 2:9 says you are God's royal priesthood. Therefore, keeping your light burning is your calling and ministry. So trim your wick with obedience, replenish your heart with the oil of His Spirit and the fire of His Word. Guard what's in you, because what's in you is the most precious thing you have— the very light of God. You are the keeper of the light.
Today's Mission – Today, replenish your heart with the oil of His Spirit and the fire of His Word.

Sing, Say or Pay! - Index
A Survey of East Suffolk Country Music
by Keith Summers
The links to the Chapters are at the foot of this page.
In late 1977 Traditional Music magazine, as it's parting shot, published a 50 page article by Keith Summers - a survey and round-up of his collecting work in East Suffolk - entitled Sing, Say or Pay!
Copies of the magazine sold out fairly quickly, but did not save it from the financial difficulties which eventually caused the demise of its successor, Musical Traditions. Editor Alan Ward always hoped to have the piece reprinted - but the money was never there. Unfortunately, that's still the case, but ...
Once again, the wonders of Internet publishing come to our aid and, with Alan Ward's blessing, after 21 years of unavailability, Sing Say or Pay! rides again.
It isn't quite the same however, since some of the photos which graced the original version were returned to their owners and are now unobtainable. But we have a newly updated and corrected text, and - in place of some of the photos - sound clips from Keith's extensive tape collection. We are sure that readers old and new will find it an equally, if not a more, rewarding experience.
Chapter 11 (List of Recordings) was obviously very out of date and has been deleted. Instead, a list of the applicable recordings is included at the end of each part.

Why Furniture Manufacturers, Retailers And Designers need to integrate this new visual technology to engage your customers on your website.
Recently, I was given a presentation by PictureThisToday 3D on their new and innovative technology that lets you place an actual SKU of furniture in your room, all in 3D. OK, you may say you've read about this in the past, but you haven't experienced anything like this. AND you don't need to download an APP, it's available in WebGL thereby circumventing the need to download and install software. It's like opening a web page and works in most web browsers.
Not only can you place the furniture your thinking about purchasing, you can paint the walls, add rugs, accessories, walk through the room, see the room with an orbital view and even experience what the room looks like in daylight and evening. Plus the best part is you get all the analytics on your visitor, with the added ability to track their IP address and use that to create a personalized marketing campaign via digital or direct mail.
And these are just a few of the elements integrated into this technology.
So let's do some due diligence as to why you need to do this.
Today, a few companies create most of the websites and they all use a templated platform of some sort to host the furniture retailer's content. There's a large degree of "sameness" without many, if any tools to engage the customer in their quest to find the furnishings they are looking for and see how their design choice will look in their rooms. This is why many retailers have a high "bounce rate" and low engagement.
So why is it that furniture manufacturers and retailers are reluctant to adopt new technology?
Seth Weisblatt, owner of Sam's Appliance & Furniture in Fort Worth, Texas, believes the only way for smaller retailers to compete against the big guys is to use technology to keep up with the customer's changing buying patterns. That doesn't mean showing a website visitor 10,000 pictures of a particular product.
So true. So what does this company offer? I'll explain, you decide.
After decades of technological denial in furniture retailing, the race is on. Product visualization and immersive technologies are the new "must haves" in an industry struggling to emerge at the top of an industry shaken by ecommerce and mass marketers.
The solution is not to be found in current attempts to improve on past technologies. Space planners with only top-down views like those used 20 years ago are not good enough, even with enhanced 2D graphics. Placing a 3D image of a piece of furniture inside an image of your room might sell a chair, but it will not sell a room – or house – full of product. Room renderings look nice, but the customer is not able to change paint and floor coverings or replace furniture themselves. Chances are the customer will never look at that image again.
Recent claims by several leading 3D development companies suggest that photorealistic product visualization is found only in massive digital file sizes, and that those files cannot be used in the real time environment. After years of focus groups discussions with industry leaders, and a great deal of trial and error in 3D software development, Picture This has proven that competition wrong!
Picture This has incorporated a 360-degree orbital viewer, a visually inspiring space planner, lifestyle photos and corporate storytelling into its proprietary "Product Showcase." It is fun, easy to use and is going to "WOW" customers not only in retailer websites, but draws customers into those websites from furniture manufacturers, furniture retailers, interior designers, real estate, property management, renovation and homeowner applications. Customers are going to want to have access to this application for as long as they live in their home and will use it as a convenient new way to shop for everything from home furnishings and fixtures to outdoor furniture and out door space design features.
"Simply put, the company has developed the best 3D imaging software that exists today and is making it affordable to small and medium sized furnishing vendors by attaching it to multiple revenue streams." And it's available in WebGL thereby circumventing the need to download and install software. It's like opening a web page and works in most web browsers. In otherwords NO NEED TO DOWNLOAD A PESKY APP!
It allows customers to create an exact virtual replica of their own living space in seconds. They can place and arrange high quality 3D product models, viewing configurations from every angle with day and night time lighting in real time. They can "walk" inside their space and get a true sense of how the product will fit and appear. Further, they can purchase a fully-featured 3D replica of their entire home, which is a enduring sales and communication tool that is going to take "e-commerce" to a whole new level. This floor plan can be retained indefinitely and provides square footages when buying paint or floor coverings, a tool for space planning and visualizing renovations. It can also be used to address issues related to insurance, emergency services and home maintenance.
This long list of features will make it a must have for, well … everyone.
Choose and insert real products from your inventory, helping your customers visualize your product inside their own living space. We can render your products in 3D from product photography and measurements, or optionally from your CAD drawings.
Engage customers with stunning fly-over and walk through views of every room in their home and outdoor spaces. Customers communicate more effectively with your salespeople, making decisions faster, easier and more accurately than ever before.
When your customers engage with our platform, we know where they are and what products they are inspired by. Our sophisticated technology can provide you with the analytics you need to help close the sale, during and even after they've engaged with our technology.
Customers can turn, tumble and zoom in to view high quality digital replicas of your products, along with a complete inventory of fabric and finish options.
Engage customers by helping them replicate their living space in seconds, then place and arrange your products to see how they fit and appear.
Our orbital viewer and virtual space planner can be customized to fit your brand and integrated seamlessly into your website, in store kiosks and sales tablets.
Multiple sales channels include virtual staging for realtors, renovators, interior designers, procurement offices and event planners, and more.
Interior designers and contractors have direct access to your digital product catalog.
Retailers gain exposure by showcasing their unique products alongside complimentary brands.
With our showroom configurator, planning retail showroom displays has never been easier. Now your sales people can take your market showroom on the road.
Our designers can help stage homes listed for sale, lease and new construction. They can also help with your retail showrooms, market showrooms and more.
Are you happy with your website and website provider?
What is your time on site?
After your home page, what are the top 5 pages consumers go to?
Are you happy with the visual assets provided by your supplier?
I could list many more, but if you have a "thumbs down" or are concerned with the answers to these questions, what do you have to lose in talking with the people behind this technology?
This technology allows her to not only look at everything you have on your website but engage with it to achieve a true sense of size, the space they'll be placing the product in and its function within that space. It also ensures that the products they want will fit within their designated space, minimizing returns.
Their technology lets your customers become a true design star, and in doing so, they can add even more items from your website to upsell and create a larger ticket by combining more items to complete their room. Consumers can add furniture, lamps, rugs, paint the walls, see how it looks in daylight and at night, plus so much more.
They can save their ideas, email them to a salesperson, or even buy it right in the application. Plus they can share with their friends on social media, promoting your store and the ability for anyone to become a design star with your store's space planning application.
If a consumer is spending time on your website, engaged, that means they are not on your competitor's website. Great for you, not so great for them.
Plus you'll get all the product analytics so you can improve your merchandising plan. Add this to the analytics from your supplier showing what products consumers are engaged with, by city, state, region or nationally, you can determine quickly and efficiently if you should consider flooring additional products from them based off the local/regional analytics of consumer engagement.
PLUS they can track IP addresses of your vistors, marrying that information to household data so you can deliver promotional materials, product information promotions and more via a variety of ways - Direct Mail, E-mail, digital ads and more.

Alabama 1st District U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne on Tuesday lead a group of colleagues from Alabama and Florida in sending a letter to urge the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Defense (DOD) to halt efforts to house illegal immigrants at two Navy outlying airfields in south Baldwin County, Alabama.
In a letter to Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, the Members of Congress outlined why the lack of infrastructure at the airfields and the unique coastal environment make the sites completely unacceptable for housing.
Within the Alabama delegation, the letter was signed by all the Republican House Members: 4th District U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt, 5th District U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, 6th District U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer, 2nd District U.S. Rep. Martha Roby, and 3rd District U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers.
The full text of the letter can also be found below.
We write to express strong opposition to the consideration of Naval Air Station Whiting Field's Naval Outlying Field (NOLF) Silverhill in Silverhill, Alabama and NOLF Wolf in Orange Beach, Alabama as detention facilities for illegal immigrants detained from the U.S. southern border as these locations cannot adequately meet the needs of housing and sustaining migrants.
It is our sincere hope that the Trump Administration will come to the same conclusion that these airfields are not a legitimate option to house illegal immigrants. To be clear, we look forward to working with the Trump Administration to ensure that our nation's immigration laws are fully enforced and to stem the flow of illegal immigrants at our nation's southern border. As we work together, we hope you can assure us that the naval airfields in Baldwin County will not be used to house illegal immigrants.

Unknown is een Amerikaanse thriller uit 2006 onder regie van Simon Brand. Na relatief kort in enkele bioscopen gedraaid te hebben kwam de film begin 2007 uit op dvd.

Verhaal

Vijf mannen komen bij bewustzijn in een fabrieksruimte. Een van hen is vastgebonden (Joe Pantoliano), één geboeid en gewond (Jeremy Sisto), één heeft een gebroken neus (Greg Kinnear) en twee (James Caviezel en Barry Pepper) liggen op de grond. Er blijkt een fles met een of ander gas te zijn leeggelopen, met als gevolg dat geen van hen nog weet wie hij is.

Nadat de eerste die ontwaakt (Caviezel) de rinkelende telefoon opneemt, wordt duidelijk wat ze daar doen. Er is een ontvoering gaande en onder de mannen bevinden zich handlangers van degenen die het losgeld aan het innen zijn. Uit de krant op het kantoortje blijken twee mannen ontvoerd. Van de vijf mannen weet alleen niemand wie de ontvoerden en wie de ontvoerders zijn. Terwijl gaandeweg de film ieder van de mannen steeds kleine stukjes van zijn geheugen terug krijgt, raakt ieder van hen langzaam ervan overtuigd wat zijn rol in het verhaal is.

Acteurs Kinnear en Pepper blijken de ontvoerde personages. In de climax blijken de herinneringen van Caviezels personage aan het ontvoeren van de mannen niet helemaal te zijn wat ze leken. Caviezel blijkt geen ontvoerder, maar een undercoveragent die in de bende was geïnfiltreerd. Een tweede plotwending volgt uit verdere herinneringen van hem. Hoewel geen bendelid, was hij ook niet van onbesproken gedrag. Caviezels personage maakte zonder dat iemand het wist de ontvoering mogelijk samen met Eliza Coles (Bridget Moynahan), de echtgenote van Kinnears personage. Ze hadden een affaire en wilden er samen met het geld vandoor. Dat blijft een geheim dat verder niemand in de film te weten komt.
