I am a mom of three girls, one of whom happens to have a very challenging mental health history. She is 14 and has been diagnosed as Bipolar with psychosis, PTSD, Major Depression, and ODD. Although she is currently under treatment with a psychiatrist and therapist, I am looking for better involvement for her as far as group therapy or other programs that could be of some aid to her and our family. I feel as though her doctor does his job as far as treating her but never has a word of advice nor encourage meet for the party responsible for the bill. My daughter lacks the ability to control her thought partners as well as her actions in a social setting. It is because of his that she has been home bound since October of 2006.
It is funny that I work in the mental health field and day after day I speak with countless frustrated parents who find the fight fruitless when battling the search for services in adolescent psychiatry. I have had many professionals tell me to just place her in a residential program...that is not optional. I will not give up on my child. If I give up then who will fight for her?
This is why I am seeking the advice of the mamasource network. I know that someone, somewhere has either experienced a similar situation, know someone like me or has seen or heard something about this subject.
Read moreMore from that C.N. has written C.N.
My sister's company may be able to help you. She works for a company called the Menta Group, and they work with adolescents with various disorders. You can find out more about them online. My sister's name is Tracy, she's the director. Her email address is [email protected]____.com this helps.
I have personally worked with children and adolescents like your daughter for many years. I used to work for a residential group home in Oak Park and currently provide therapy in Naperville doing very similar work. It can be a really tough road taking care of a child with such complicated diagnoses... However, it sounds like you are really committed are doing a terrific job. Have you considered family therapy?
This might be a good idea for you to look into. If you want to chat further directly... I'd be happy to talk. Just send me an email with your number.
Highland Park Hospital has an Adolescent Psychiatry department. They are really good and wonderful. The counselors and mental health workers can give you a lot of advice and direction.
Alexian Brothers hospital has a great behavioral health outpatient program for teens. We checked it out for my daughter but it was too long of a drive to get her there. I don't have a phone number but I am sure you can get it from information.
You are so strong and smart not to give up on your daughter and place her in a treatment facility! My sister has similar problems with her daughter and feels at times like she is pulling her hair out! Have you sought out someone at Children's Memorial in Chicago, they have great treatment programs and they are the most encouraging people in the world. Both my daughters see specialist at Childrens and they have been a Godsend! Your family is in my prayers and from a teachers stand point you are the best kind of parent out there, there are too many who just give up, it gets too hard and it is so easy to give up and that is what they do! I hope you find the help you need for you daughter!
Hello! The child psychiatry department at the University of Illinois at Chicago is very good. They have tons of groups for kids and parents, and they would also be able to do a thorough eval to clarify your daughter's diagnosis. The intake number is ###-###-#### or ###-###-####. They will also be able to tell you what insurances they accept when you call. Good luck!
There are some great IPU and PHP at Children's Memorial Hospital, Hartgrove, and Lakeshore that are great with diagnosis, medication, behavior plans, and hooking you up with long term out patient services. All three not only treat the child, but also to parent/sibling groups as well.
Good Luck and keep up the great job with your daughter!
Hi! I am a mother of 4, and awile back was suffering from severe panic attacks. I couldn't stay on any medication, so I looked to a nutrionist/whole health facility for help. It definitley is not your traditional doctors office, but they treat you with diet ( not a diet, but the right foods for your body type) and a therapy technique called eft, or nst(a deeper form of eft by doing body work) Eft is talking about symptoms or issues, frustrations whatever, and then tapping on certain meridian points on the body to help clear them out of the system.I have found it to be very helpful. The doctors office is called Dr. Mercola's and they are in Schaumburg, Il. Unfortunately I think they only accept a few insurances. I'd say it couldn't hurt to look into it, especially if you've tried everything else! 847*985*1777 It might not make it go away, but it could ease the symptoms some!I'm not sure if it's something that they would be qualified for, but it couldn't hurt to ask. good luck!

Manatt Continues Expansion of Its Land, Environment and Natural Resources Practice
David C. Smith Brings Extensive Experience in Real Estate Development and Environmental Matters
Manatt today announced that David C. Smith—one of California's leading land use attorneys—has joined its San Francisco and Costa Mesa offices as a partner. Smith comes to the firm from Stice & Block LLP, where he was a partner.
A seasoned land use attorney with a solid track record in California, Smith will play a key role in the
ongoing expansion of Manatt's land, environment and natural resources group. He will advise individual land development companies, conservation companies and the real estate industry on land use, entitlement and regulatory issues at the federal, state, regional and local levels.
"David is well-known and well-regarded by major homebuilders throughout the state," said Victor De la Cruz, co-chair of Manatt's land use practice. "He brings to Manatt substantial experience dealing with state and federal agencies on a range of critical land use permitting issues. An attorney with a track record of his caliber is invaluable to our clients, and we are particularly excited about his role in further growing our Bay Area presence."
For eight years, Smith worked as in-house counsel at national real estate developer DMB, serving as liaison between the company and a range of government entities and crafting strategies that solved legal issues and minimized potential disputes. Earlier in his career, he was vice president of government affairs and general counsel at the Building Industry Association of Southern California and its Building Industry Legal Defense Foundation. In that role he was responsible for engaging with industry leaders and government regulators to identify and address pivotal legal issues affecting the real estate development business.
"When David was the general counsel for BIA Southern California, he was on top and ahead of every major issue affecting the homebuilding industry," said Susan K. Hori, co-chair of Manatt's land use practice. "As in-house counsel for DMB, he managed the entitlement and permitting issues for some of the most complicated projects ever proposed in the western United States, including on the San Francisco Bay. I'm excited that he's joining the firm."
"What drew me to Manatt were its reputation and its people," said Smith. "Structuring a real estate project has become an increasingly complex, time-consuming process, and I've long been impressed by the firm's ability to help clients complete their projects on time and within budget. Suffice to say, I'm very much looking forward to being part of such an accomplished team."
A frequent writer and speaker on land use, environmental and real estate development issues, Smith focuses his practice on, among other areas, California climate change and water supply law, and state and federal endangered species acts. Other specific areas of focus are the McAteer-Petris Act and its San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, the federal Clean Water Act and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, the National Environmental Policy Act and the California Environmental Quality Act, and California's planning and zoning laws.
Smith earned his J.D. from Pepperdine University and his B.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, is one of the nation's leading law and consulting firms, with offices strategically located in California (Los Angeles, Orange County, Palo Alto, San Francisco and Sacramento), New York (New York City and Albany), Chicago and Washington, D.C.

Gastón Norberto Gaudio (Spanish pronunciation: ; born 9 December 1978) is a retired tennis player from Argentina. He won eight singles titles and achieved a career-high ATP singles ranking of world no. 5 in April 2005. Gaudio's most significant title win came at the 2004 French Open, where he defeated fellow Argentine Guillermo Coria in five sets in the final.
He learned the game at the Temperley Lawn Tennis Club, and his first coach was Roberto Carruthers.[1] In addition to tennis Gaudio played football and rugby as a child and chose tennis to help out his parents financially when their business ran into economic problems.[2]

Tennis career
Gaudio started playing tennis at the age of six and was ranked no. 145 in the Argentine juniors behind Mariano Zabaleta. He turned professional in 1996, and in 1998 he won two ATP Challenger events in Santa Cruz, Bolivia over Luis Adrián Morejón. He finished year by winning in Santiago defeating Karim Alami.
Gaudio won two consecutive Challengers in Nice and Espinho defeating Jacobo Díaz and Markus Hipfl, respectively. Gaudio's first notable performance was when he reached the third round at the French Open as a qualifier, so he won five matches total at the event, including coming back from two sets to love down in the second round against Bernd Karbacher to win, 6–7, 4–6, 6–3, 6–1, 6–4, then losing to world no. 6 Àlex Corretja.
2000 saw Gaudio establish himself on the main tour and win his only Challenger of the year in Braunschweig over countryman Franco Squillari, 6–4, 6–7, 6–4. In addition to his Challenger title, Gaudio made the semifinals in Auckland, Santiago and, in his most impressive performance of the season, the Monte Carlo Masters, where he defeated Marat Safin, Félix Mantilla, Julien Boutter, and Juan Carlos Ferrero without dropping a set, before losing to Slovakia's Dominik Hrbatý in a tough three-set match, 4–6, 7–5, 6–2. Gaudio also made the final of Stuttgart, again playing against fellow-Argentine Franco Squillari. Gaudio lost the final, 2–6, 6–3, 6–4, 4–6, 2–6, despite having beaten his opponent soundly in the Gstaad quarterfinals and in the Braunschweig finals earlier in the year (both on clay) and leading Squillari 2 sets to 1 in Stuttgart. Gaudio also represented Argentina in his first Olympic Games, losing to Vladimir Voltchkov of Belarus, 6–7, 6–4, 1–6, in the first round.
Gaudio started his 2001 in poor fashion, losing his first four matches of the season to Vladimir Voltchkov, former French Open finalist Andrei Medvedev, three-time French Open winner Gustavo Kuerten, and, in his Davis Cup debut, Mexican Bruno Echagaray. Gaudio soon went back to his winning ways, however, reaching the final of Viña del Mar, losing to bitter rival and countryman Guillermo Coria, 6–4, 5–7, 2–6. Gaudio would avenge that defeat to Coria in a hard-fought victory in the quarterfinals of Buenos Aires, which involved both players making rude gestures and insulting each other regularly. After this victory, Gaudio lost in the semifinals to José Acasuso, 3–6, 6–7. In the American hard-court swing after the 2001 Australian Open, he made the quarterfinals of the Miami Masters, losing to 19th seed Jan-Michael Gambill, 6–3, 5–7, 4–6. Along the way, Gaudio dismantled fifth seed Russian Yevgeny Kafelnikov, 6–4, 6–1, and toughed out a three-set slugfest against future French Open winner and 12th seed Juan Carlos Ferrero, 6–0, 3–6, 6–3. Although he did not manage to win his first title in 2001, Gaudio had some success, making a final, a semifinal and four quarterfinals (one 0f them at the prestigious Miami Masters). In addition to this, he helped Argentina return to the World Group with a perfect 5–0 record in his singles matches, which were all played in Argentina on clay courts. The year was not great though; Gaudio lost a lot of early-round matches and an astounding 12 first-round matches, never making it past the first round of a Grand Slam. Because of his inability to win these early-round matches, Gaudio's ranking slipped from no. 34 at the beginning of the year to no. 48 at the end of 2001.
Gaudio had a decent start to his 2002 campaign, making the third round of the Australian Open and the quarterfinals of Indian Wells and the round of 16 at Miami. Continuing on from his successful Davis Cup debut, in 2002 Gaudio defeated Ivo Karlović in the fifth match to secure a semifinal place for Argentina. Gaudio also won the first tournament of his career in Barcelona without dropping a set. Gaudio defeated world no. 1 and US Open champion Lleyton Hewitt in the semifinals, and then dismissed Spaniard Albert Costa, 6–4, 6–0, 6–2, in the final. Gaudio followed up his maiden title with another in Mallorca.
Gaudio made the fourth round of the French Open, losing to

Gaudio announced his retirement from tennis on 30 August 2011.[11]
In an unlikely turn of events, Gaudio returned to the French Open to play in the qualifying. He posted an impressive victory over American Lester Cook in the first round, but was taken out by Thiago Alves in straight sets in his next match.
In an interview on the Argentine program Vertigo, Gaudio revealed that he had received psychiatric treatment for clinical depression during his time away from tennis.[11] After a poor start in 2010, Gaudio won the San Remo Challenger, defeating countryman Martín Vassallo Argüello, 7–5, 6–0.
Gaudio finished the 2008 season unranked.[9] Gaudio finished the 2009 season ranked at no. 167[10]
Gaudio won a tournament after almost four years at the Tunis Challenger. He beat Portuguese Frederico Gil, 6–2, 1–6, 6–3, in the final. Gaudio was awarded a wild card into the 2009 French Open, where he was beaten by Czech Radek Štěpánek in the first round, 3–6, 4–6, 1–6. In October, Gaudio made the final of the Buenos Aires Challenger, losing to training partner Horacio Zeballos.
Gaudio received another wild card into the main draw in the Barcelona tournament, an ATP World Tour 500 event, where he won his first match on the world tour since the 2007 French Open by defeating Diego Junqueira of Argentina, 6–4, 3–6, 6–4, before losing his second-round match to Tommy Robredo, 6–7, 1–6.
In February 2009, Gaudio received a wild card into the main draw for the Buenos Aires tournament, an ATP World Tour 250 event in his home country. Gaudio lost to Daniel Gimeno Traver of Spain in the first round, 2–6, 6–4, 2–6.
Gaudio came back in January 2008 at a Challenger event in Miami, Florida. He lost in the opening round, 0–6, 3–6, to Kei Nishikori. Later in the month, Gaudio continued his comeback attempt at the Movistar Open in Viña del Mar, Chile. Granted a wild card into the main draw of the tournament, Gaudio lost to Santiago Ventura, 0–6, 3–6, in the first round.
Gaudio started 2007 poorly and lost eight consecutive matches stretching back to 2006, before recording a victory over Luis Horna, who retired from the match with a strained hamstring. Gaudio followed up with a conventional win against Juan Pablo Guzmán, before losing to Juan Carlos Ferrero in the quarterfinals of Acapulco. At the French Open, he won his first-round match against Marc Gicquel (he lost to him the previous year) in five sets. He was to face Lleyton Hewitt, seeded 14th, and won the first two sets, 6–4, 6–3. However, Hewitt won the next three sets and thus the match. As a result, Gaudio's ranking dropped to no. 99. In late 2007, Gaudio's ATP ranking had fallen to no. 180. During the second part of the year, he started to play clay-court Challenger events in Europe to attempt to rebuild his career, but he suffered an ankle injury while playing in the Napoli Challenger.
Gaudio was not able to keep up his level of play to the standards he set from mid-2004 to 2005. His best performances for 2006 included semifinals in Acapulco and the Monte Carlo Masters. He finished the year ranked at no. 34. Ranked in the top 10, Gaudio started 2006 off well at the French Open, where he lost in the fourth round in four sets to Russia's Nikolay Davydenko . Gaudio lost at Wimbledon to Irakli Labadze (a qualifier) and lost his 2006 US Open third-round match to Marc Gicquel.
Gastón Gaudio at the 2006 Wimbledon Championships
He lost in fourth round of Roland Garros to David Ferrer after leading 4–0 in the fifth set and losing six consecutive games. When leading in the fifth set, Gaudio said to Ferrer's coach at one point, "Don't worry; I'm not going to win today." Gaudio also qualified again for the Tennis Masters Cup, where he made the semifinals, defeating Mariano Puerta and Fernando González, but losing to Nikolay Davydenko in the round robin stage, before losing to Roger Federer, 0–6, 0–6, in the semifinals.
Gaudio consolidated his top-10 ranking in 2005, by winning five tournaments and his 42–8 on clay, second only to Nadal. Gaudio and Coria were at the centre of another dispute at the World Team Cup where Gaudio said, "Let's be truthful, this isn't a team, because there's someone who makes decisions choosing the best for himself. I can understand that a player gets tired and decides to rest before Paris. I also did so on Tuesday against the Czechs but not in the most important match of all. Coria and I were the best team and if we were a real team this wouldn't have happened."[8]
Gaudio did not play Wimbledon and returned to the tour in Båstad losing in the final to friend Mariano Zabaleta. He also made finals in Stuttgart and Kitzbühel and made his first appearance at the Tennis Masters Cup, where he had a 0–3 record.
In the final, Gaudio defeated Coria, 0–6, 3–6, 6–4, 6–1, 8–6. Gaudio became the first Argentine to win a Grand Slam since Guillermo Vilas in 1979, and the first man ever to win a Grand Slam after losing the first set 6–0. He became the fifth-lowest-ranked player to win a Grand Slam, and the first man in the open era to win a Grand Slam having saved match points in the final. Gaudio reached the top 10 in the ATP Entry rankings for the first time. Gaudio had achieved his childhood dream by winning at Roland Garros.[5] Gaudio would not reach another Grand Slam quarter-final for the remainder of his career.[6][7]
Gaudio came into the French Open ranked 44th and was unseeded for the tournament. In the first round, he upset top-10 player and compatriot Guillermo Cañas over two days in five sets. Then he won another five-set match against Jiří Novák. Gaudio dropped only one more set en route to the final, as he defeated Thomas Enqvist, Igor Andreev, Lleyton Hewitt, and David Nalbandian to set up an all-Argentine final with world no. 3 and pre-tournament favourite Guillermo Coria.
2004 started slowly for Gaudio, but he eventually reached the final in Barcelona, losing to Tommy Robredo in five sets, then posted two victories in the World Team Cup over Martin Verkerk and Lleyton Hewitt.
The other was the Davis Cup in the semifinals against Spain in Málaga, where the two top players David Nalbandian and Guillermo Coria where unavailable due to injury. An out-of-form Gaudio was called up along with Agustín Calleri, Mariano Zabaleta, and Lucas Arnold. Spain won 3–2, but Gaudio lost his match against Juan Carlos Ferrero, losing 14 games in a row in a 4–6, 0–6, 0–6 defeat. In the fifth match against Carlos Moyà, he lost, 1–6, 4–6, 2–6, and was roundly criticised back in Argentina for these performances. "When I returned to Buenos Aires after playing Davis Cup in Moscow and Málaga, you had the impression it was my fault and that hurt me," he said.[4]
There were no titles for Gaudio in 2003, but he was involved in two controversies, the first of them involved Guillermo Coria in the Hamburg Masters. They were part of an all-Argentine semifinal lineup, the others being David Nalbandian and Agustín Calleri. Gaudio and Coria played in one semifinal, and Coria won the first set and Gaudio the second. Coria took an injury timeout for cramps. After the timeout, Coria, after breaking serve at the change of ends beat his left breast while staring at his opponent, which Gaudio took as an insult. Coria proceeded to win the last set 6–0, and there was allegedly a confrontation after the match in the locker room.[3]

Premier League 2020: Duzza's Ready
Target's Glen Durrant will be cheered on by some of the players from Middlesbrough FC, his home town football club, after practising with the squad in preparation for his first season as one of the elite Premier League line-up.
Three-time Lakeside World Champion "Duzza" played as a "Contender" in 2019, but steps-up to become one of the nine full members of the league after a stunning debut year in the PDC.
"Massive thanks to Garry Plummer and the team at Target" said Glen; "every Middlesborugh player has got a set of Duzza darts; they were asking all about Target, and some of the players were actually decent!"
Durrant has powered up to 22nd in the world rankings in just 12 months since switching from the BDO, winning two ranking titles and reaching three major semi-finals, but now enters the ultra-competitive Premier League which gets underway in Aberdeen on Thursday night.
"It's sensational; I'm pinching myself every day. I'm over the moon to be wearing the Target brand - that was a dream come true in itself.
"And now to be playing in front of millions on the tele is great."
Durrant gets his four month league campaign underway against former finalist Michael Smith, with a tricky clash to follow in Week Two in Nottingham against Fallon Sherrock, who made history by becoming the first woman ever to win a game at the PDC World Championship in December.
Fallon is competing, as Glen did last year, in just a single week under a newly-named category "The Challengers", and the opening night sees Scotland's John Henderson taking on Target's UK Open and US Darts Masters Champion Nathan Aspinall.
Henderson enjoyed incredible support in Aberdeen last year as he secured a draw with world number one Michael van Gerwen and will provide a stern test for "The Asp", who goes into his debut campaign as a full league member following consecutive semi-final runs at the World Championship and The Masters.
The bookmakers make #TeamTarget's best hope of glory to be last year's runner-up Rob Cross, the world number four who faces Grand Slam winner Gerwyn Price in his opening match in Scotland.
Cross only narrowly missed out on becoming just the third player in history (behind Van Gerwen and Target's 16-time World Champion Phil Taylor) to top the league stage of the tournament last year, and has slimmed-down significantly in his efforts to surpass his superb 2019 form, which saw him claim major titles at the World Matchplay and European Championship.
The Target line-up will be completed by former Lakeside Champion Stephen Bunting returning to the Premier League after a five year absence to compete as one of the Challengers, and it will be an all-Target clash with Cross for "The Bullet" on Week Six in Liverpool.
You can follow the Premier League live on Sky Sports in the UK and worldwide via the PDC's broadcast partners.

Of course sales increased now that the Nintendo Pokémon Machine has Pokémon X & Y.
As a kid who grew up with the original Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda, I'm glad to see Nintendo has been able to stay in the game.
What helped the 3DS alot is the 2DS option (Since those figure count towards the 3DS) and the recent game launches. New Ace Attorney, the Pokemon games, and more have helped get the Handheld off the ground. Honestly if they had waited on its release till more games were available, we never would have even heard the console was doing bad.
Certain games pretty much lead to a higher purchase rate, especially in Japan which was the first major shot in the arm. I know people would likely overlook Animal Crossing in all this, but that really I'm sure drove up a lot of sales also. We obviously had really interesting titles coming up through the mid-late 2013, so it helped really bring in more purchases of the 3DS and 2DS.
Given the 2DS is pretty much likely the most expensive, a parent would consider for kids while including games. Obviously this is in no relation to consoles, being they are on a completely different level altogether. Also $400-500 gift is hard to really justify sometimes, not saying it doesn't actually happen though.


Family Roots: Crocosmia is a small perennial genus in the iris family Iridaceae, native to the grasslands of Cape Floristic Region, South Africa.
Personality: The basal, alternate leaves are cauline (meaning, belonging to the stem) and distichous (meaning, growing in two vertical ranks). The leaves are linear or lanceolate. The blades are parallel-veined. The margin is entire.
Tidbits: They are commonly known in the United States as coppertips or falling stars, and in Britain as montbretia.

An Open Letter to the Peace Movement
by Roderick T. Long | March 7, 2003
Dear Peace Activists:
All honour to you. In your opposition to the United States' impending war on Iraq, you represent a welcome voice for sanity and civilisation, lifted up against the incessant baying of the dogs of war.
But I want to urge you to follow the logic of your position just a bit further.
Mu ch has been said, and eloquently so, about the need, in dealings between nation and nation, to choose persuasion over violence whenever possible. Hear, hear!
But why this qualification: between nation and nation?
If persuasion is preferable to violence between nations, must it not also be preferable to violence within nations?
Suppose my neighbour runs a business out of his home, and I'd rather he didn't. If I call the zoning board and ask them to shut his business down by force, am I acting like a peace activist? Or am I acting like George Bush?
Suppose I go to the polls and vote to maintain or increase income taxation, or gun control, or mandatory licensing, or compulsory education. Am I not calling upon the state to invade people's lives and properties? To impose my will, by legalised force, on those who have done me no harm? To choose violence over persuasion? Am I acting like a peace activist, or am I acting like George Bush?
As Ludwig von Mises writes:
It is important to remember that government interference always means either violent action or the threat of such action. The funds that a government spends for whatever purposes are levied by taxation. And taxes are paid because the taxpayers are afraid of offering resistance to the tax gatherers. They know that any disobedience or resistance is hopeless. As long as this is the state of affairs, the government is able to collect the money that it wants to spend. Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning. Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
To the extent that government initiates force against its people – and every government qua government must do so, since a government that maintained neither coercive taxation nor a coercive territorial monopoly of authority would no longer be a government, but something a good deal more wholesome – every government is waging a war of aggression against its own people. A consistent peace activist must be an anarchist.
It may be objected that in democratic countries, the government represents the will of the citizens; since the citizens are understood to consent to the government's actions, those actions cannot count as "aggression" against the citizenry. Volenti non fit injuria.
The notion that voting counts in any meaningful sense as "consent" was subjected to devastating criticisms in the 19th century by the English classical liberal Herbert Spencer, in his essay The Right to Ignore the State, as well as by the American abolitionist Lysander Spooner, in his pamphlet No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority. Both works are available online; those tempted to regard majority rule as a form of self-government are invited to consult them.
As peace activists, we understand that aggressive warfare between nations is neither moral nor practical. If violence is to be employed, it must be defensive in nature, and it must be the last resort, not the first. Why would this principle hold good at the international level, but fail at the intranational?
Fellow peace activists: I invite you to join me in the work of the Molinari Institute. The state is the cause and sustainer of war, because the state by its nature is warfare incarnate. Its imperialist aggression beyond its borders is simply an extension of its inherent modus operandi within its borders. There is a peaceful, consensual alternative: Market Anarchism. The object of the Molinari Institute is to see that alternative implemented.
If you love peace, work for anarchy.
Yours in liberty,
Roderick T. Long, President
Molinari Institute

PeaceRequiresAnarchy
Roderick Long wrote this letter ten years ago today, on March 7, 2003. He urged peace activists who opposed the Iraq War to be more consistent in their support of peace by opposing aggression within nations as well as between nations. Nearly everyone supports peace, but almost no one supports peace consistently. However, we can all at least try to be consistent by taking the time to carefully think about these issues rather than just accept the views that have been handed to us.

Rezydencje królewskie dynastii sabaudzkiej (ang. Residences of the Royal House of Savoy, wł. Residenze sabaude in Piemonte) – zespół kilkunastu budowli w Turynie i jego okolicach, powstałych po 1562 roku, kiedy książę Sabaudii, Emanuel Filibert, przeniósł stolicę z Chambéry do Turynu. Zapoczątkowany przez niego program budowlany kontynuowali jego następcy. W efekcie powstał zespół cennych budowli, które zaprojektowali i udekorowali najwybitniejsi architekci i artyści poszczególnych epok. W skład zespołu wchodzą: Pałac Królewski oraz rezydencje wiejskie i pawilony myśliwskie. Rezydencje królewskie dynastii sabaudzkiej zostały w 1997 roku wpisane na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.

Historia
Decydującą rolę w powstaniu przyszłego zespołu rezydencji odegrał książę Sabaudii Emanuel Filibert, który w 1562 roku postanowił przenieść siedzibę swego dworu z Chambéry do Turynu. Nowa stolica jego księstwa była wówczas małym, średniowiecznym miasteczkiem, pozostającym na marginesie głównych wydarzeń kulturalnych epoki renesansu. Inicjatywę Emanuela Filiberta kontynuowali jego następcy. W XVII i XVIII wieku zrealizowali oni obszerny program budowlany, nadając miastu i regionowi styl barokowy. Zasadniczym elementem założenia stały się rezydencje, budowane dla rozrywki i dla polowań, lokowane poza miastem. Zasadnicze znaczenie miały te budynki, w których książęta dynastii sabaudzkiej mieszkali i z których sprawowali centralną władzę – polityczną, administracyjną i kulturalną. Centrum władzy zostało skupione wokół Piazza Castello, przy którym zlokalizowano najważniejsze pałace, ściśle powiązane z wystawnymi willami i innymi budowlami położonymi z dala od centrum miasta. Część z nich, z racji swej urody architektonicznej, zyskała przydomek "corona delle delizie" ("korona rozkoszy").

Dzięki stosunkom i powiązaniom dynastycznym dynastii sabaudzkiej z dworami królewskimi Paryża, Lizbony, Madrytu, Monachium i Wiednia, a także z miastami włoskimi na dworze w Turynie ukształtowało się kosmopolityczne środowisko artystyczne i kulturalne. Emmanuel Filibert stworzył podwaliny tradycji dworskiej, nieistniejącej wcześniej w Turynie. Realizowany program był symbolem władzy absolutnej władców Sabaudii. Projekty swych rezydencji zlecali oni renomowanym architektom, artystom i ogrodnikom, jak: Ascanio Vitoti, Carlo i Amedeo di Castellamonte, Guarino Guarini, Filippo Juvara, Michelangelo Garove, Benedetto Alfieri, Daniel Seiter, Francesco Solimena, Sebastiano Ricci, Charles André van Loo, Claudio Francesco Beaumont i Francesco Ladatte. Dzięki podjętym inicjatywom budowlanym wzbogacili swoje dziedzictwo, a także zbudowali państwo i jego europejską stolicę. W 1713 roku władcy dynastii sabaudzkiej zdobyli tron Królestwa Sycylii (Wiktor Amadeusz II), a w 1861 roku dokonali zjednoczenia Włoch pod berłem Wiktora Emanuela II. Zjednoczone Królestwo Włoch przetrwało do czasu powstania Republiki Włoskiej w 1946 roku.

Urbanistyka i architektura
Chociaż głównym zamierzeniem Emanuela Filiberta było zbudowanie umocnień obronnych Turynu, to zdołał on stworzyć swą rezydencję w dawnym pałacu biskupim. W okresie od końca XVI do XVIII wieku jego następcy zrealizowali trzy duże projekty w sąsiedztwie Piazza Castello. Dzięki planom, podjętym przez Karola Emanuela I i realizowanym przez jego następców doszło do stworzenia "strefy zarządzania" położonej na północny wschód od miasta, służącej bardziej podkreśleniu pozycji księcia niż praktycznym celom obronnym. Zespół pałaców i willi, zbudowanych przez kolejnych książąt z dynastii sabaudzkiej został powiązany za pośrednictwem sieci prostych, zadrzewionych dróg w jedną całość z centrum w Turynie. Dawny pałac książęcy, który położony nieco z dala od centrum miasta, został odbudowany w nowej orientacji, tak aby miał bezpośrednie połączenie z Piazza Castello. Był on również powiązany z południową częścią miasta za pośrednictwem nowej drogi (obecna Via Roma), zbudowanej w latach 1612–1615 w celu połączenia z książęcą siedzibą w Mirafiori (obecnie nieistniejącą). Projekt ten był główną innowacją, ponieważ stworzył dwubiegunowość urbanistyczną i terytorialną. W 1673 roku Karol Emanuel II zlecił architektowi Amedeo di CastelIamonte przedłużenie miasta na wschód, w kierunku rzeki Pad. Nowa oś główna, Via Po, połączyła Piazza Castello poprzez most nad rzeką ze wzgórzem, na którym została zbudowana Villa della Regina. Przy tej okazji poszerzono Piazza Castello w kierunku wschodnim, budując wzdłuż jego boków urzędy państwowe i teatr królewski (Teatro Regio). Wiktor Amadeusz II zlecił kilku architektom (Michelangelo Garove, Antonio Bertola i Filippo Juvara) realizację trzeciego etapu rozbudowy w kierunku zachodnim, od Porta Susina do Castello di Rivoli i Palazzina di Stupinigi. Karol Emanuel III kontynuował realizację kilku projektów odziedziczonych po ojcu: rozbudowę Pałacu Królewskiego, budowę urzędów państwowych, teatru na Piazza Castello i przebudowę istniejących oraz wznoszenie nowych rezydencji pod kierunkiem Filippo Juvary, a po jego wyjeździe z Turynu w 1735 roku, pod kierunkiem Benedetto Alfieriego.

Rezydencje

W Turynie
Symbolicznym ośrodkiem władzy dynastii sabaudzkiej w sercu Turynu jest Pałac Królewski. Jego budowę zleciła w połowie XVII wieku regentka Sabaudii, Krystyna Maria Burbon, która zapragnęła mieć wystawną i pełną przepychu rezydencję dla swego dworu. Pałac został zaprojektowany przez nieznanego architekta, ale pierwszy projekt prawdopodobnie wykonał Amedeo di Castellamonte, autor fasady. Prace wykończeniowe i dekoracja wnętrz kontynuowane były przez kolejnych władców: Wiktora Amadeusza II, Karola Emanuela III i Wiktora Amadeusza III. Budowę pałacu ukończono w 1800 roku. Klomby kwiatowe zaprojektował w 1697 roku francuski architekt krajobrazu André Le Nôtre. Położony nieopodal Palazzo Madama zawdzięcza swoją nazwę dwóm księżnym Sabaudii, Krystynie Marii Burbon i Marii Joannie Sabaudzkiej, które zlecily Filippo Juvarze przebudowanie dotychczasowego zamku, zbudowanie w nim wystawnych schodów i nadanie mu eleganckiej elewacji. Powstały w latach 1718–1721 pałac przechodził różne koleje losu, będąc wcześniej fortecą i zamkiem. Obecnie mieści się w nim Miejskie Muzeum Sztuki Antycznej (Museo Civico d'Arte Antica). Swoją obecną nazwę pałac uzyskał w XIX wieku jako wyraz hołdu dla jego właścicielek, które chciały być tytułowane Madama Reale (od fr. Madame). Kolejnym obiektem jest barokowy Palazzo Carignano, w którym urodzili się Karol Albert i Wiktor Emanuel II i który po zjednoczeniu Włoch stał się siedzibą pierwszego parlamentu tego kraju. Nad brzegiem rzeki Pad wzniesiono w stylu francuskim Castello del Valentino, należący obecnie do Politechniki Turyńskiej (Politecnico di Torino). Również na wschodnim brzegu Padu, na zboczu wzgórza, wzniesiono Villa della Regina, otoczoną ogromnym ogrodem, posiadającą w swych zbiorach obrazy z XVII i XVIII wieku i oryginalne meble z epoki.

Poza Turynem
Zamek Rivoli zaplanowany pierwotnie jako twierdza wojskowa mieści obecnie Muzeum Sztuki Współczesnej. Pałac Królewski w Venaria Reale został zaprojektowany w 1658 roku przez Amedeo di Castellamonte dla księcia Karola Emanuela II i dedykowany Dianie, bogini łowów. W latach 1716–1728 Filippo Juvara zrealizował szereg pomieszczeń jak Galleria di Diana, Citroniera, Scuderie oraz kaplicę św. Huberta. Zamek razem z otaczającym go parkiem tworzy kompleks o powierzchni 48 hektarów, zwany turyńskim "Wersalem". Położony w pobliżu Borgo Castello de La Mandria, otoczony jest rozległym, naturalnym parkiem. Uwagę zwraca też pałacyk myśliwski w Stupinigi (Palazzina di caccia di Stupinigi), również zaprojektowany przez Filippo Juvarę. Na początku XIX wieku miejscowość Stupinigi była miejscem wystawnych gali oraz rezydencją Napoleona. Zamek Moncalieri, jedna z najstarszych rezydencji Sabaudii, został wybudowany w średniowieczu do celów obronnych, a później przebudowany na dwór królewski dynastii sabaudzkiej. Pozostałe rezydencje dynastii sabaudzkiej to: zamek książęcy w Agliè (prowincja Turyn) z 300 bogato urządzonymi pokojami, zamek w Racconigi (prowincja Cuneo) otoczony rozległym, naturalnym parkiem, zamek w Govone (także w prowincji Cuneo), letnia rezydencja dynastii, otoczony XVIII-wiecznym ogrodem, wyróżniający się mitologicznym motywem w trompe l'oeil w Sali Honorowej (Salone d'onore) oraz neogotycki zamek w Pollenzo (prowincja Cuneo), wykorzystywany jako miejsce do produkcji wina.

Do you really want all your followers, including sketchy friends-of-friends, to know where they can find you? If not, keep your itinerary under wraps, at least until your mini-vacation's over. If some of your friends ask about your All Souls' Day plans over social media, answer through a private message instead of replying in comment threads for everyone to see. Otherwise, a stalker or two might tag along during your visit to the family grave.
Think that posting a picture of your ticket won't do any harm? Criminals can weave a story out of the printed details, claim that they've kidnapped you on your way home, and trick your family into paying a hefty ransom. A picture featuring a plane ticket with a visible barcode isn't any safer. Those little black and white lines contain information about your trip, including your name on the ticket and your frequent flyer number. With these in mind, you'll want to avoid posting pictures of your travel tickets to protect yourself and your family this Undas.
Yes, it's nice to let your friends know that you're in the province for All Souls' Day. However, you wouldn't want burglars to know that your Metro Manila residence is unguarded. When posting on Facebook, double-check if the site automatically tags your location in status updates. If it does, remove the tags!
While exploring the cemeteries in your hometown, you might have snapped the perfect #TravelGoals photo or family groufie. Resist the urge to post it until you're back from the province, though. This especially applies if you have kids or younger siblings with you on All Souls' Day. Remember, if you put up a picture on the Internet, terrorists and online predators might be able to see it and know your whereabouts.
Some cities and airports have open WiFi networks, free for both travellers and identity thieves to use. Check the security of the network you're using, and keep it in mind when doing things online (i.e. are you really going to change your password on an unsecured network?). You can also use mobile data. Of course, there is always the option to simply put your phone aside and cherish the family reunions that take place during Undas. If you really have no choice, though, take steps to stay safe when using public WiFi.
All Souls' Day gives Filipinos a chance to spend more time with their families while remembering loved ones who have gone ahead. The celebration is meant to be relaxing, but you can end up having a stressful time if you're not careful about what you post. Follow these 5 tips and enjoy a safe and peaceful Undas!

Rounding Cape Caution is often the least comfortable stretch of the entire Inside Passage. Ocean swells roll in, wind chop often builds by the afternoon, and strong currents can cause waves to stack up. And no matter which route you take, the seas are mostly on the beam.
We had a nearly perfect weather forecast, and when we woke up all the pertinent weather reporting stations looked great.
The crab traps we'd set out last night produced two big Dungeness crabs, which means crab dip tonight for happy hour!
The run up to Cape Caution was fantastic. The ebb slingshotted us out of Queen Charlotte Strait, and since there wasn't much swell, conditions were totally comfortable.
North of Cape Caution, the fog lifted and the wind built. The last couple hours were bumpy, with about 20 knots of westerly wind and 2-3 foot chop. Not the most fun, but it didn't last long.
We arrived in Fury Cove early in the afternoon. By mid-afternoon the clouds had burned off and the sun shone brightly.
Kevin took the Mavic Pro up for a few drone photos of the Fury Cove anchorage.

We had happy hour on the white shell beach, then tacos back on the Safe Harbour/Airship raft.

Q: Changing the NfcA timeout length in Android I was wondering how to change the length of the timeout for receiving a reply from a NfcA type card in Android. I saw how to change it on a Iso-Dep type card, but not on the NfcA type card. Also, does anyone know how long the timeout is for a NfcA card?
I am using a custom card and want to know how much processing time I have on the card before I have to reply.

A: *

*NfcA is just a subtype of IsoDep, so the IsoDep timeout will work for NfcA and NfcB.

*The NFC-Stack should negotiate a suitable time-out values with the tag and use it. However, if you connect to a smartcard that has an applications which exceed the timing constraints (Warning: bad programmer alert!) raising the time-out may be necessary to get things working.
In this case use the IsoDep command and extend the time-out.
If you have contact to the guys who wrote the smartcard code you may even get an answer about how long certain commands (cryptographic hash calculation is one common problem) may take at max.. If you don't have contact you can only experiment.
Another thing: Judging from the Android API it looks like you have full control about the time-out value. This is not true! If you extend it beyond what is allowed by the high level protocols you will run into lots of trouble. In this case you can expect anything from unreliable functionality to a total crash of the NFC-subsystem. (Just saying..)

A: Since API level 14, there is also a setTimeout() for NfcA. Before that API level, the timeout is fixed and is about 300ms.

WordPress Vs. Magento - Which Is Better For Your New Online store?
Before we get into compare WordPress and Magento. Let's take a short look at both the platforms what makes them or what makes them bad.
WordPress is an open source blogging management system. WordPress was originally designed in 2003.With over 70 millions of websites across the web using word press platform.
Magneto, much same as word press depends on an open source technology .more than 150,000 eCommerce site owners are currently using magneto. magneto still ranked 4th in the most popular use of CMS.
Word press:- If most of your goals go around content marketing and digital publishing, WordPress is the greatest WordPress cannot support eCommerce. W. Word press is an open source blogging platform system n The new Site Health feature has to carry on to be refined.
WordPress exist for many pages and correct messages.
Magneto:-. If your basic focus is in your business and online sales, Magento the best choice for you. Magento works actually similarly in general, but sometimes something that WordPress does in a few clicks that could be done very easily by magneto. Magento allows you to control cloud hosting. When using Magento don't forget to choose a well-scripted theme. They both have a different function in CMS static book, templates, development.
Magento and WordPress both can be also used in tandem. In this case, you'll have to use Magento as your primary solution to control both the store and the design. If Magento and WordPress both work together, A great way to attract traffic to your Magento store and connect it to a WordPress blog, where you can communicate and tell the customers about the products. Where you are selling the products through consumer's point of view, not as a product seller. This fast-growing trend gives you to control your blog directly from the Magento. If you want to set up a WordPress blog for your own store.
For security:- in bigger platforms, Magento and WordPress both are feature years of security improvements day by day. The question builds is for security comes down for the add-ons, themes, and plugins that you choose, as well as how you are going to control your server security if you followed any self-hosted route.
Security is one of the reasons to select a managed hosting solution, as you can have complete flexibility and freedom without worrying.
As we made it very much clear and simple that Magento is more efficient and recommended different from WordPress is the best choice for selling products online, but it is also far more complex and needed the expertise of a professional which can be very much costly. As WordPress continues to develop, we can imagine much better solutions for the larger businesses, and easier to use management tools that can change the situation in support of WordPress. Until this happens, WordPress will continue to give faithful content for marketing channel, while Magento always remains the final choice for selling products online.

Niles (Inglaterra) fue un personaje de ficción en el sitcom, The Nanny. Fue interpretado por el actor Daniel Davis, con acento británico.

El mayordomo de los Sheffield

Niles fue el mayordomo de la familia Sheffield, incluso cuando Maxwell era niño se lo ve a Niles trabajando y soñando con ser abogado. Él había sido valet de Maxwell Sheffield durante la mayor parte de su vida. Cuando Sheffield llegó a Estados Unidos, trajo con él a Niles. Había estado con la familia durante muchos años, incluso cuando Maxwell estaba casado con su primera esposa, Sara. En la última temporada, se casa con C.C. Babcock y descubre que tendrà un hijo.

Se puso de manifiesto en la Temporada 1 Episodio 9 ( "La niñera-in-Law") que el padre de Niles había sido el mayordomo del padre de Maxwell Sheffield y, por lo tanto, que habían crecido juntos y se habían conocido durante toda su vida. Esto fue revelado por Clara Mueller (interpretado por Cloris Leachman), que había sido niñera de Maxwell.

Su apellido no fue revelado en la serie. En el capítulo "The Butler, the Husband, the Wife and Her Mother" (El Mayordomo, el Marido, la Esposa y Su Madre) el sexto capítulo de la primera temporada, mientras Niles se hace pasar por Maxwell, y, a la vez esposo de Fran, esta le explica a Maxwell que si no ayudan a Niles, con los inspectores de la "Asociación De Mayordomos", el apellido de la familia de Niles se mancharía para siempre entonces ella reacciona y le pregunta a Niles "A propósito, ¿cual es el apellido de tu familia?" -a lo que él solo responde- "Es solo Niles... como Cher".
Aunque en el capítulo 49 (Temporada 3 capítulo 1). Niles tiene una conversación mientras bebé con C.C Babcock, está le dice "¿Así que Rochester? ¿Que hacías para matar el día antes de que yo llegará?".
Dando a entender que su primer nombre sería Rochester, tanto en el idioma original como en el doblaje al español latino.

This modification will allow you to use your pets be like your human characters, making them your Brother-In-Arms. With a human companion at your side, this will change the way you play the game. Allowing the possibilities of a mock up party hand-in-hand battles (CO-OP); intensive manageability of items and equipments; interchangeability of pets through Transformation Elixirs and boosting of pet's Innate Skills and Skill Spells with the new function of fishes.
NUMBER 1: NEVER put weapons on your animal pet or you will make the game, crash.
NUMBER 3: When transforming your pet, remove weapons first.
*QUIT then RESUME your game if it doesn't function properly.
NUMBER 4: On game load, your humanoid pet's equipment that relies on ATTRIBUTE REQUIREMENTS will be unequipped.
NUMBER 5: "Skill Spells" for your humanoid pets can be bought from Pet Skill Merchants including "Transformation Elixirs".
NUMBER 6: There is a new human class in your pet rosters called Musha. The male is named Musashi and his opposite is Tomoe. They don't have purchasable "Skill Spells" at their disposal but they have a new line of weapons exclusively for them and they are called Katana, Nodachi and Mushato variants.
Hint: The product will be based on your character's level.
NUMBER 7: Brink the Merc has two appearances/skins in the Pet Selection Screen and Syl the Sage has four color variants but the other three can only be seen by the use of Transformation Elixirs at Pet Skill Merchants. Also to note about the Merc's shield issue, equipping him other than his Indestructible shield (bought from Pet Skill Merchants) would make those shields breakable.
What my mod has that is unique?
> Pet Skill System -- Not just to make your pet look like your characters but also to make your pet use skills the way you can. By using the pet's spell slots, you can have the option to pick the skills you want your pet to use in battle.
> Intricate effort in making your pet becomes human-like. In these sense, I introduced the conditional skills that activates if your pet is in trouble also known as InnateSkills.
> Its educational too -- By adding Stat Indicators in your pet inventory UI, now we have a detailed look on how items function on your pet!
> Pet Leveling System?!?!! -- Yes! To be able to maintain the use of equipments on your pet, I came up of a way to make it "Appear" like your pet is automatically improving through leveling.
> Transformation Elixirs -- With this, you are not limited to your starting pet. Be free to explore all companions, be it a generic class or my custom made characters. You can always turn back to your original starting pet by purchasing a "Default Starting Pet" elixir. Essential for those who started a game with a vanilla animal pet.
> Another feature which I introduced, is the Penalty System -- If your human companion has depleted its health and instead of fleeing, it will be Knocked-Out for 30 seconds.
> AVPs has tremendous amount of Health while HCPs has the same growth and amount as your character.
> AVPs have the Armor and Damage growth per level while HCPs don't have any but they have Weapons at their disposal. AVP and HCP can both benefit from armors.
> HCPs have Innate Skills and class-specific skills into Skill Spells purchasable from Pet Skill Merchants. And also, HCPs because they are human, they have the same cooldown time with spells same as with your character.
NOTE: You can always try using my mod with others by making it a priority in your mod list but it is possible that this will limit you from the interchangeability of pets I have designed it for. Just remember to backup your 'modsave' files before attempting. Try not to use pets other than the ones I modified. *All vanilla pets are safe including alpaca, headcrab, torso, etc.

Hi, where can I turn off this function?
infiSTAR said it wasn't supposed to be released this update, and he will be removing it next update.
I had to disable it on my server as well. It was pretty inconvenient for players to keep getting kicked out of their buddy's vehicle. They weren't even in a safe zone. They were able to finally get around it by grouping up. Maybe make this an optional feature?


Morrell Falls: 5 mile hike round trip. Easy, beautiful hike to breathtaking falls. Directions: Take Hwy 200 west to Highway 83 north about 15 miles. Just outside of Seeley Lake, cross the bridge next to the Vets Memorial, and take a right at Morrell/Clearwater Road. Follow the signs to Morrell Falls trailhead [watch the signs as you will take a left from the main road] and parking area. Note: on trail, when you come to a 'T', take the trail to the left.
Holland Lake Falls: 3 mile hike round trip to the falls and a breath taking view of Holland Lake. Difficult, especially in hot afternoons as it climbs up a sunny hill. Falls are beautiful and you can walk under them in lower water. Approximately 1 ½ hours from Ovando but worth the drive. Continue up Highway 83 approx 40 miles to Holland Lake exit [on right]. Follow dirt road to end and park. Follow signs. Note: when it looks like the trail ends at a rock pile, continue. The path is just on the other side of the rock fall.
Monture Creek Trail: As long a hike as you wish as the trail goes into the Bob Marshall Wilderness over twenty miles. Easy hike that crosses creeks and streams and into old growth forest. From Ovando, take west exit across the highway right onto Monture Creek Road. Follow road approximately 15 minutes. Just before bridge that crosses Monture Creek, look for entrance to camping/trailhead. At end of road park at trailhead.
Monture Creek Falls: Continue on the above hike for 12 miles round trip. Wonderful seldom seen falls.
Lubrecht Forest: Self guided, easy, as long as you want on informative nature trails. Take Highway 200 west toward Missoula. Just before Garnet Ghost Town exit, take the left into the Experimental Forest entrance. Park at the buildings. The area is surrounded with paths and brochure pick up points that detail the vegetation and environment.
North Fork Trailhead: Highway 200 east from Ovando, over the North Fork of the Blackfoot, take North Fork Trailhead road on your left, driving through the flats up into the canyon where the road ends at the trailhead. You hike for as little or as long as you want. A 16 miles round trip can take you to the Falls. Bring plenty of food and water. Bleak beginning on the trailhead from a fire that ravaged the area enters into wonderful canyon lands and open alpine areas to spectacular falls.
Honestly, there are too many to even try to list. With the Blackfoot Game Range to the west, the forest and wilderness to the north and wildlife viewing areas to the east, you can hike forever and still not see everything.

Recent news from the various sectors of the recycling industry
Republic Services to acquire ReCommunity
Republic Services Inc., Phoenix, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Charlotte, North Carolina-based ReCommunity Holdings II Inc., the largest independent recycling processing company in the U.S. Republic says ReCommunity's assets and expertise complement its recycling operations and will allow it to meet its customers' growing demand for recycling in multiple markets.
The acquisition involves 26 recycling centers in 14 states, primarily in locations where Republic maintains a leading market presence. Combined, these facilities recover nearly 1.6 million tons of recycled commodities annually. The transaction also includes the assumption of multiple long-term municipal agreements with processing fee-based structures, which aligns with Republic's pricing model.
"We believe this transaction will enable us to meet growing customer demand for recycling services, while achieving one of our key sustainability goals," says Republic President and CEO Don Slager. "Recycling continues to be one of the fastest growing segments of the waste stream, and our focus remains on investing in traditional recycling in select and prioritized markets where customers have demonstrated both a demand and a willingness to pay for recycling."
ReCommunity CEO Dennis McGill says, "With this acquisition, we are joining a company committed to the same environmental and community ideals and will be able to deliver a broader range of services to our customers."
Canada Fibers acquires HGC Management
Toronto-headquartered Canada Fibers Ltd. (CFL), a leading provider of material recovery and recycling services, has announced its plan to acquire the issued and outstanding common shares of HGC Management Inc. (HGC), Brantford, Ontario. CFL says HGC's goal of helping municipal and commercial customers efficiently and sustainably divert valuable materials from landfill aligns with its own. The company says it expects to complete the transaction within 60 days.
HGC operates seven material recovery facilities (MRFs) within the province of Ontario in the cities of Brantford, Belleville, Cornwall, Peterborough, Simcoe and Trenton. Together, these MRFs sort a significant portion of Blue Box materials within Ontario. In addition, HGC has 75 trucks on the road collecting recyclables and mixed waste from homeowners.
The acquisition will increase CFL's MRF footprint within Ontario, adding coverage in the eastern and western reaches of the province. HGC's curbside collection capabilities will increase CFL's understanding of recycling opportunities at the source.
"This acquisition will enable us to provide provincewide sorting services for our expanding commercial and municipal customer bases, which is increasingly important as customers look for greater uniformity and efficiency from their recycling programs," says Mark Badger of CFL. "It will provide us with more recovered material for our downstream operations, which recycle recovered materials into consumer and industrial products."
CFL operates three recycling companies under the Urban Resource Group banner, producing plastic materials for applications that include packaging, architectural wooden garden mulch and high-energy wooden fuel pellets sold through leading big-box stores.
Herb Lambacher, HGC founder, says, "The combined MRF footprint of the organizations will enable provincewide programs for customers seeking enhanced efficiency and sustainability."
CFL will work to increase recovery of materials from commercial sources during the first phase of integration.
Lambacher, an engineer with more than 40 years of experience in the recycling industry, will lead legacy HGC operations and help integrate and expand MRF operations.


Imagine you are falsely suspected of having committed a criminal offence at your workplace. A law enforcement agency diligently looks into the matter for six months (or longer). During this time a shadow hangs over your professional reputation. At the conclusion of the investigation, you are cleared of any wrongdoing. But then, for "training purposes" and "self-improvement," the constable decides to give your employer a copy of the police investigation.
Surrey – The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO) today announces that it accepts the jury's recommendations in the B.C. Coroner Service's inquest into the officer-involved shooting death of Phuong Na (Tony) Du in Vancouver, on November 22, 2014.
The first recommendation is that the IIO should automatically release its files to the involved police service agency at the conclusion of the IIO investigation. This will help the police agency determine whether any of its existing practices, procedures, or policies should be changed or improved.
The IIO's Chief Civilian Director Ron MacDonald is committed to releasing IIO investigative files to the appropriate agency at the conclusion of each matter, subject to potential privacy and other related issues.
What is the likelihood that some witnesses will refuse to talk to the IIO, knowing that the IIO investigation is going to be handed over to the police?
Will a police officer still be candid and honest in an interview with the IIO, knowing that his boss is going to get a copy of the IIO's investigation?
How does the IIO ever hope to pursue criminal charges in old cases that develop fresh evidence, when they have already handed their investigative materials over to the police agency they were investigating?
Who actually gets a copy of the IIO BC investigation? The police board? The police chief? Professional standards? The subject officer's direct supervisor? The subject officer? The witness officers?
What kind of obligations does this place on the receiving police agency? Once the IIO investigation is handed over to the police agency, will they be subject to FIPPA requests? What about the discovery of documents in civil lawsuits? What about McNeil disclosure?
Why is the IIO planning to reveal its investigative techniques to the police agencies that it investigates?
Why does the IIO believe it is ok to criminally investigate someone for their actions and then hand a copy of the investigation to their employer?
Given the above, will police agencies have the option of refusing to accept delivery of investigative files from the IIO?
This is new territory. Perhaps there is a way to make it work. Stay tuned for further developments.

Discovered during the American Civil War by astronomers Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle, debris from the Swift-Tuttle comet colliding with the planet and burning up in the atmosphere provides the spectacular light show, but cloudy skies might block the view for some stargazers.


Who's ready for Spider-Man reboot? After the third of the last series didn't live up to expectation, we are starting over with a new cast. Starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, an average teenager who must learn to embrace his powers as Spider-Man. He discovers a part of his father's past that may help him learn more of his parents disappearance. Appearing by Garfield's side will be Sally Field, Emma Stone, Dennis Leary and Rhys Ifans. Excited to dress in a Spider-Man costume? Maybe get a head start on your Halloween costume? Be sure to keep an eye out on www.halloweenadventure.com for all the latest super hero costumes as they arrive. And as trailer after trailer start to emerge, I'm sure we'll all be excited to see The Amazing Spider-Man in theaters. I know I'll be one of the first ones in line on July 3rd to see this movie and give a proper review.

Measure the distance between P and Q.
With the alidade placed along line pq orient the table and back sight the station P and clamp the table.


if there any way to include a dynamic Textbox in limesurvey? The goal is that participants answer a question in a short Textbox. In case they need more characters than actually thought the Textbox should increase the size.
I'm aware of that multiple Textboxes exist, yet, I need the dynamic one because of academic purposes.
I do not knpw exactly what you mean by "dynamic textbox"
The database representation of a "short text" type is "text". This is: max. 65,535 charcters.
The HTML representation is "input". This is: one line of text.
So your respondnets can type a lot of text; but only in one line.
If you want a representation of more than one line you have to use: "long free text" or "huge free text", which have a handle in the lower right corner to resize them.
The database representation of these type also is "text". This is: max. 65,535 charcters.
So you do not have an advantage in max. characters in the database.
A few days ago there was a thread about this.
Last edit: 5 months 4 weeks ago by Joffm.
A short text inbox: Individuals start typing and as soon as they hit the end of the line, the textbox resizes such that they can always see the entire text they are typing. In other words: The textbox should increase in size every time the participant would enter a new line.
I do not need more characters. I guess that the maximum amount of characters will be something about 5000 - 10000. So the maximum will never be reached. I just want that the participants can also see the entire text even when only using a small textbox.
I hope I made my needs more understandable?
Thank you! That's exactly what I need. Is there any guidance on how to implement something like that into Limesurvey?
1) Assign a CSS class "with-auto-expand" to a long-text type question.
Here is a sample survey with that JS and CSS in the source of the first question.

In Nebraska's increasingly negative GOP Senate primary we endorsed Ben Sasse because he is the only candidate talking about the most important issue in politics today; breaking Washington's Iron Triangle of bureaucrats, lobbyists and career politicians. If you demand change in Washington vote Ben Sasse in the May 13 Nebraska Republican Senate primary.
The Nebraska Senate race drew national attention when former state Treasurer Shane Osborn gained the endorsement of FreedomWorks. Senate Conservatives Fund and the Club for Growth endorsed his opponent, Midland University President Ben Sasse.
Glenn Beck revealed the name of a Repub senator who allegedly insinuated that supporters of FreedomWorks and the Senate Conservatives Fund are traitors to the party: Mitch McConnell.
The House GOP leaders' struggle to sell their ObamaCare plan to conservatives was dealt another blow when the Club for Growth, Heritage Action, and FreedomWorks announced their opposition to the plan.
Will Grassroots Conservatives' Effort to Defund Obamacare Also Take Out McConnell?
With 54 percent of those polled telling CBS that they disapprove of Obamacare and 38 percent saying they expect to be personally hurt by the Obamacare law, the advertisements in Republican primaries against those who vote to fund the implementation of Obamacare pretty much write themselves.


I was hoping with Facebook, they would release the video live streaming, however with Facebook going from beta to stable today, I guess that's not the case.
Are there any apps for Windows 10 Mobile that allow you to stream live video?
Unfortunately, I haven't seen one yet. From what I'm seeing on MSDN is trying to use a codec that is compatible with both sites like YouTube, but don't have to be called from an external program, like ffmpeg. There really isn't much on the UWP forums that makes sense.
But I'll +1 that. My 640XL even takes great video and it would be nice to stream it somewhere.
So far, no Facebook Live, no Livestream, no Periscope, no Ustream, no Bambuser, etc. Maybe the guy(s) making Easyscope will add it at some point... I don't know. I emailed Bambuser and they told me they don't have plans for windows mobile. I guess we users should keep requesting this feature from developers. I did so with both Bambuser and Facebook. There is an app for UTrail.me but it appears as though the website is now dead.

Sam's Club to expand in China
Walmart (NYSE:WMT) announced that it is planning on opening seven Sam's Clubs in China over the next three years.
The membership-based store will aim to attract high-income families that travel, many of whom have experience shopping overseas, reported China Daily.
The warehouse already has more than 1.3 million Chinese members, both individual and business shoppers, and 11 stores. In comparison, the United States has 637 Sam's Club locations.
"We have been very clear about who are our target members and the direction we want to take," Andrew Miles, senior VP of Walmart China and COO of Sam's Club in China, told China Daily.
The ratio of self-owned brands offered in-store is expected to rise 20 percent over the next three years from 6 percent. The goal is to offer customers not only the cheapest price but unique products.
Walmart recently announced it was dismissing 30 executives from its China division in order to streamline the business. The move comes amid a management shakeup in the United States, where Walmart announced the exit of its U.S. merchandising chief, Duncan Mac Naughton.
China is a big growth market for the big-box retailer. Walmart announced last year that it plans to add as many as 110 stores over three years in the country, while shutting down some outlets and remodeling dozens of other stores.
