LAKEWOOD RANCH -- Gevity HR Inc.'s shares dropped nearly 13 percent on Friday after the company said that it expects second quarter earnings at the low end of its previous forecast and that it had cut its full-year earnings estimate.
Managers at the Lakewood Ranch-based human resources and management company expects second-quarter net income of 17 cents per share, compared with its previous estimate of 17 cents to 19 cents per share.
For the full year, Gevity estimates earnings between 70 cents per share and 95 cents per share, lower than its previous forecast of at least $1.27 per share.
On average, analysts had expected net income of 20 cents per share for the second quarter and $1.16 per share for the year.
Erik Vonk, Gevity's chairman and chief executive, said that the decline in profits should be a short-term phenomenon.
"We remain confident in our vision," he said.
Gevity's shares, which trade on the Nasdaq, were selling for $19.33 at the close of regular trading on Friday, down $2.84.
The company said it has not added as many new clients as expected in the quarter. It estimates 5 percent customer growth, on an annualized basis, for the second quarter and a 12 percent gain for the year.
Gevity said that its average service fee declined in the quarter compared with a planned increase. As a result, the company has reduced its service fee expectations for the second half of the year.
The company also expects larger-than-expected declines in health insurance contributions to weigh on its quarterly and yearly results.
Gevity forecasts second-quarter contributions to fall by $1.5 million to $1.7 million more than planned and yearly contributions by $3 million to $5 million more than anticipated.
The company said it will continue to buy back shares. As of Thursday, there was $58.9 million remaining in its $75 million repurchase program.
Gevity also announced that Todd F. Bourell, a partner of San Francisco-based hedge fund ValueAct Capital, LLC, has been named a director. ValueAct, Gevity's biggest shareholder, owns about 14 percent of the shares.
ValueAct is not a passive investor, and some had speculated last year that the fund planned to knock heads at Gevity in order to get the company's stock price moving upward again.

Q: Question (2) on Uniform Integrability Let $m$ be a probability measure on $W \subseteq \mathbb{R}^m$, so that $m(W) = 1$.
Consider $f: X \times W \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$ locally bounded, $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, such that
$\forall w \in W$ $\ x \mapsto f(x,w)$ is continuous;
$\forall x \in X$ $\ w \mapsto f(x,w)$ is measurable.
Assume:
(1) $\forall x \in X$ $\ \int_W f(x,w) m(dw) < \infty $
(2) For all $x \in X$ we have the following property.
$\forall \epsilon, \delta > 0$ $\ \exists c >0$ such that
$$ \sup_{\xi \in \{x\}+\delta \overline{\mathbb{B}} } m\left( \{w \in W \mid f(\xi,w) \geq c \} \right) \leq \epsilon $$
(1) Prove that (Uniform Integrability) for any fixed $x \in X$ we have:
$\forall \epsilon >0$ $ \ \exists \delta, c>0$ such that
$$ \sup_{\xi \in \{x\}+\delta \overline{\mathbb{B}} }  \int_{\{ f(\xi,w) \geq c \}} f(\xi,w) m(dw) \leq \epsilon   $$
(2) Can assuming $(x,w) \mapsto f(x,w)$ continuous help in getting the proof?
Note: this question is a variant of Question on UI.

El monarca colilargo malgache (Terpsiphone mutata) es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia Monarchidae propia de Comoras, Madagascar y Mayotte.
Sus hábitats naturales son los bosques secos de tierras bajas subtropicales o tropicales.

Sistemática
Se cree que el monarca colilargo malgache evolucionó a partir de ancestros africanos, ya que parece muy relacionado con el  Terpsiphone viridis que con el Terpsiphone paradisi.  Existen seis subespecies reconocidas, que apenas difieren en su apariencia.
 T. m. singetra, descrita por Finn Salomonsen en 1933, se lo encuentra en el norte, este y oeste de Madagascar.
 T. m. mutata, descrita por Linnaeus en 1766, se lo encuentra en el este y en la meseta elevada de Madagascar.
 T. m. comorensis (a veces mal escrito comoroensis), descrita por Alphonse Milne-Edwards y Émile Oustalet en 1885, se lo encuentra en  Gran Comora.
 T. m. voeltzkowiana, descrita por Gustav Stresemann en 1924, se lo encuentra en Mohéli.
 T. m. vulpina, descrita por Edward Newton en 1877, se lo encuentra en Anjouan.
 T. n. pretiosa, descrita por René Primevère Lesson en 1847, se lo encuentra en Mayotte.

Descripción

El monarca colilargo malgache es un ave paseriforme de tamaño mediano, mide unos 18 cm de largo y pesa entre 12.1 a 12.3 gr.  Los machos poseen largas plumas de cola, que pueden llegar a medir hasta 18 cm de largo. La hembra es de color rufo-anaranjado, con cabeza y nuca negros.  Las plumas de vuelo en sus alas son negras con bordes rufos, y ella tiene una delgada, franja color celeste en el párpado.

Zona donde mora y hábitat
Esta especie es endémica de Madagascar, Mayote y las islas Comoros. Es una especie común en todos los tipos de bosques nativos excepto los bosques montanos, en alturas desde el nivel del mar hasta 1600 m. También se presenta aunque con menos frecuencia en zonas boscosas, incluidas plantaciones, jardines y bosques secundarios.

When you say "I want a pen test," what exactly do you mean?
According to Wikipedia, "A penetration test, colloquially known as a pen test, is an authorized simulated attack on a computer system, performed to evaluate the security of the system" with the goal of informing the system owner of both weaknesses and strengths. Typically, penetration tests are performed by an external security evaluation team with a range of knowledge, skills and tools to assist in the process. The results of the penetration test are most often used to guide remediation, repairing the weaknesses, and to develop a protection strategy.
At Outpost24, we regularly conduct penetration tests and help our clients across different sectors (banking, telco, government etc) understand the type of testing they need to meet their goals. To aid that discussion, we can use a diagram like this one inspired by Patrick Thomas @coffeetocode.
This type of pen test is focused on discovering defects that can be exploited to attack the system. The goal in these tests is to provide detailed information about weaknesses that can be prioritized for remediation to lower the risk profile of the system under test. Note that the "-box" testing shown in the diagram indicates how much knowledge of the internal structure is divulged. Blackbox testing provides virtually no information about the system while whitebox testing or code review provides complete details about internal structure, algorithms, or actual source code. Greybox falls in between these extremes, with some detail about the system under test yet with the tests proceeding from an external perspective.
Note that there is some overlap. For example, the "scan" (one time assessment) is typically performed with automated scanning tools to produce a report that guides remediation. Similarly, blackbox testing may be used for multiple purposes depending on your organization's needs.
It's also important to recognize that a "scan" (one-time assessment) can have a low cost if it is highly automated with scanning tools. Similarly, tests that have substantial manpower requirements (such as a code review or red team) will have a higher cost. In our experience the cost of the penetration test increases the farther the desired test is from the origin in the diagram.
What type of pen test do you need?
With the range of options available, it's useful for the Outpost24 team to understand what your goals are. Whether you need a management report to show that you have considered system security on an annual basis, or if you want to prove that your operations and security teams are ready for any potential attack, we can structure a penetration test to meet your needs.
And by providing the test results along with access to the knowledgeable staff and tools used to conduct the tests, we can help your organization advance in your journey to more mature security processes and lower business risk. And that moves your organization a step closer to the goal that all our clients share – avoiding disruption to their business because of a cyber-security attack.
Get better penetration test results. Let our experts help you select scope details to meet your objectives.


Individuals that are concerned about their appearance may altogether spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on skin care products and services. Many of the spas are intent on the type of skincare treatments that they offer because their clients demand results. Each of these spas will use a selection of products that they feel are going to give the results their clients are looking for.
The skin reacts differently according to each individual. Therefore, spas have the challenge of looking for skincare products that they can consider as being universal in their benefits. Lavender, in its oil form, fits into this category.
Although it would appear that lavender can deliver universal benefits, its oil has the unique ability to be beneficial for specific skin problems.
Acne: One of the most common and annoying skin conditions is acne. It is commonly found on the face, but can also appear on other parts of the body, such as the upper chest and back. It is difficult to find a product that can be used consistently for acne treatment. New Zealand spas that include acne treatments as part of their service roster will often include lavender essential oil as part of the treatment plan. Lavender has anti-bacterial properties; most people know that bacteria is one of the culprits of acne.
Lightening of the Skin: Many skin imperfections are as a result of changes to the pigment of the skin. Some experience redness or blotching. Lavender oil can help even out skin tones, and can also deal with hyperpigmentation, as well as age spots.
When the spa technician is treating conditions of the skin, the treatment will usually consist of lavender, in a delivery product, used in the facial. When they are treating larger areas, they may use its oils in a lavender bath.


Linguistics. Early date for the birth of Indo-European languages.
Re: Linguistics. Early date for the birth of Indo-European languages.
The mathematical methods are invalid.
The language tree is complete rubbish.
Caucasus), aren´t related to IE.
In the preceding chapter it has been shown that the Indo-European languages were probably formed somewhere on the plain of southern Russia or western Turkestan, by a blending of languages spoken by peoples in a Neolithic or early Copper Age stage of culture. One of the two linguistic elements in this blend has been positively identified with Finno-Ugrian, which at the same time forms one of the two lateral divisions of the Ural Altaic stock, the fundamental unity of which is under question.1 The blending of Finno-Ugrian with the B element which produced Indo-European languages took place at some time no earlier than the last few centuries of the fourth millennium B.C., well after the acquisition of agriculture and animal husbandry by western Asiatic peoples, and before the adoption of a complete Bronze Age technology by the inhabitants of the plains north of the Caucasus and the Iranian plateau. The Finnish speakers, who contributed so largely to Indo-European speech at that time, must have been residents of the plains at the time of their meeting with the bringers of Caucasic speech with which their own language was united. At the same time, they must inevitably have contributed to the formation of the racial blend with which the resulting Indo-European language, were early identified.
How could "Finno-Ugrian combine with a B element to produce Indo-European" if Finno-Ugrian is unrelated to Indo-European?

Dušan Simović, en serbe cyrillique Душан Симовић (né à Kragujevac le  - mort à Belgrade le ), était un militaire serbe. Il fut général dans l'armée du royaume de Yougoslavie.

Biographie
Le , avec d'autres officiers membres de l'État-major de l'Armée royale yougoslave, Dušan Simović fomenta un coup d'État, qui força le prince Paul, régent du royaume de Yougoslavie, à quitter le pouvoir et qui installa sur le trône le roi Pierre II avant sa majorité. Dirigée par Simović, l'opération fut organisée et réalisée par le général Borivoje Mirković. Les motivations de Simović étaient sans doute d'abord nationalistes car, le , sous la pression d'Adolf Hitler, le président du Conseil Dragiša Cvetković et son ministre des Affaires étrangères venaient de signer à Vienne l'adhésion de la Yougoslavie au Pacte tripartite, rangeant ainsi le pays au côté des puissances de l'Axe. Par cet accord, le prince Paul, régent du royaume, avait espéré tenir le royaume à l'écart de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Cette signature avait provoqué de nombreuses manifestations de rue à Belgrade. Il s'agissait aussi de s'opposer à l'accord passé entre Dragiša Cvetković et le chef politique croate Vladko Maček ; cet accord Cvetković-Maček, signé le , prévoyait la création d'une "Banovina de Croatie" reconnaissant l'existence de la Croatie au sein de la Yougoslavie alors que la Serbie n'y était pas reconnue comme telle.

Simović forma alors un gouvernement d'union nationale. Il tenta de se prémunir contre les représailles allemandes en annonçant que la Yougoslavie continuerait d'adhérer au pacte tripartite. La réaction d'Adolf Hitler ne se fit cependant pas attendre : le , Belgrade fut bombardée par la Luftwaffe. Alors que le pays était envahi, Simović et le roi furent évacués par les Britanniques. Simović resta premier ministre du gouvernement yougoslave en exil jusqu'en janvier 1942.

Bert Bell Enshrinement Speech 1963
Presenter: David McDonald
My friend Bob Considine and friends. I cannot make a presentation personally to the recipient of this award because he has left this globe but it is fitting indeed that Arthur Rooney, personal friend of mine, President of the Pittsburgh Steelers, is designated to accept this honor for Bert Bell, and Bert you know Art knew him very intimately for so many years as a close friend and as an associate. It's more than proper that Bert Bell should be among the first memorialized in this magnificent hall for it was Bert's genius as a commissioner or czar, if you will, that brought professional football to its present high plane. During the games rise he literally did everything.
In fact, they say he even use to lace up the football. He gave pro football the draft system which practically equalized every team and also, he gave pro football the player benefit plan, the best of its kind, and also, he gave his lift to football. He was the founder, the president, manager, the coach, the press agent, the bookkeeper, the cashier, of the Philadelphia Eagles indeed was the Eagles themselves. He sold out his interest in the Eagles to become part owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers with Art Rooney. Finally, other club owners persuaded him to become commissioner of football. No administrator ever took such rich experience to an office. As an ex-player, ex-coach, and ex-owner, Bert knew the bales, he knew the needs, he knew the tricks, he knew the problems, and he knew the alibis of them all. He kept his ear open because his phone was by his bed at all times and of course at his office and Bert Bell died as he had lived at a football field. His two old teams the Steelers and the Eagles were battling in Franklin Field in Philadelphia where a half century before it had all begun for him as Penn's rich boy quarterback. So, Art Rooney for Bert Bell is the presentation.
Art Rooney on behalf of Bert Bell
I am grateful to the Bell family, Mrs. Francis Bell, her children, Janey, Bert, and Upton for permitting me the honor in accepting in their behalf this honor to Bert Bell which is so richly deserved. Like Dave McDonald said, like George Halas was and is, Bert was player, coach, owner, and Commissioner.

Top 10 in alphabetical order Alabama, Florida State, LSU, Michigan, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virginia Tech.
Has Michigan every landed a #1 on the country player?
Kelly Baraka was the closest I can think of, never saw the field.
6-4, 245lb Soph DE...Michigan gave him an offer for 2014.
Is this the first 2014 offer?
We offered a DE/DT out of Utah named Bryan Mone about a month ago.
Not gonna touch that last quote........keepin it clean for the holidays!!!
Top five of Alabama, Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia Tech.
Seeing Bama on the list is always scary.
These are the type of players we have to pull in if we want to compete with the big boys. Hand, McDowell, and Mone are all SEC-caliber defensive lineman.
New Top 5: Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, and.....Alabama.
Well spoken kid, like him a lot. Thanks for posting.
Yeah urban is a tool. Hated him on the NC commentator line up.
not to go off topic, but did anyone else get the feeling ESPN threw him a bone by having him on? It's like, "oh, you're suppose to be being punished for being a school of cheaters, but we're going to keep your program relevant by putting you on in the national spotlight."
I thought that was BS.
Hand is also a dominant wrestler, IIRC. Defensive lineman with that size who are great high school wrestlers are the type of kids I want on Michigan's defensive line.
yeah remember what Mike Martin did? He put guys in figure 4 and made them beg to stop.
Herbie might be my favorite analyst on ESPN... someone asked me that question the other day and he came to mind first. The guy isn't biased at all and most of buckeye nation hates him for that.
Hoke, Mattison and Montgomery all visited Hand at school yesterday.
JC Shurburtt of 24/7 was asked yesterday who he thinks leads for Hand, and he said Virginia Tech and Michigan look good right now.
As great as this sounds for Michigan...we also led for Treadwell at this time last year and how did that turn out for us.
However, if we are in on more guys like this (which we seem to be), we are bound to land a couple of them so that's the encouraging thing to take away.
With all the focus on 2013 prospects, Florida is now a major player for 2014's No. 1 player Da'Shawn Hand with the hire of former Gamecocks defensive line coach Brad Lawing. The Gamecocks are still very much in the mix as well as they quickly hired North Carolina defensive line coach Deke Adams. UNC could be the one left out once Hand re-sets his top five list.
Named Rivals Junior of the Year.
Just read where Hand announced his new top 5 is Alabama, Florida, Michigan, South Carolina and Virginia Tech. For the recruiting gurus in here do we a have a snowball's chance in hell?
#1 in Rivals' first 2014 top 100.


Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Security and Growth for all in the Region (SAGAR) is being pursued in full earnest by the Indian Navy.
The new Mission-based deployment concept was unveiled in the last Naval Commander's Conference and was ratified for incremental implementation. Supported by the MoD, the plan involves deploying mission-ready ships and aircraft along critical sea lanes of communications and choke points. These ships are deployed always ready to meet any eventuality across the spectrum of operations ranging from acts of maritime terrorism and piracy to HADR missions. These deployments are aimed to be maintained 24/7 and round the year with ships being sustained and turned around on station. The concept is already showing dividends with the Navy being the first responder to many crisis situations around the IOR. The Navy was the quick to respond to the heavy rains and flooding in Sri Lanka as also to the HADR requirements post Cyclone Mora in Bangladesh and Myanmar. The Navy was also there to secure the release of the Indian dhow Al-Kausar and the crew from Somali pirates. The rescue of three persons including a woman from a sinking tug off Maldives was another instance where a mission-deployed ship was available to respond immediately to a request for help.
The change in the deployment concept has necessitated a change in the methods used to sustain and support ships within the Navy. Accordingly, the Chief of the Naval Staff has approved a new Transition cycle for ships from Maintenance periods to Operational Deployments that allows for a focussed and gradual transition of ships from periods of maintenance layoffs to full scale operations. The new Transition cycle focuses efforts of Operational Commanders on 'Training and Safety Inspections of ships' prior to their deployment for operations.
Along with these deployments,the Navy has, in tandem with the MEA, focussed efforts on the Capacity and Capability development of navies in the region. The Indian approach of providing equipment and training is finding increasing favour amongst the IOR nations. The Indian Navy has a time-tested model of Joint operations with regional navies. The idea that there can be no growth without security is well understood. With the Indian Navy emerging as the Net Security Provider in the region, engagements through Coordinated patrols (CORPATs) of Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ), Bi-lateral exercises, Training exchanges and cross-visits of trainees and others have seen an increase.
The initiatives to improve the security environment in the region and provide opportunities for growth to all have seen an unprecedented 'Whole of Government' approach. Synergy between initiatives of the MoD, MEA and the Navy has resulted in more effective and efficient engagements in the region. The Navy's ability to deploy and sustain in tandem with the new Mission-based deployment concept has resulted in greater presence and visibility.
The ongoing Naval Commander's Conference would, among other issues, review the new Mission-based deployment concept and seek to ascertain it's effectiveness. The top naval commanders would also deliberate upon ways to improve it's efficiency and functioning.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of SAGAR is being unfolded in an effective and deliberate manner through security cooperation and capacity/capability building initiatives to protect and preserve maritime security, peace and stability in the region.


I recall preaching on the above verse at the anniversary of a church that had closed years and years before. Each year, there was an anniversary service to honour the prairie pioneers who had built the church and built up the faith in the community. It was obvious to me that the people took today's verse literally. No one wanted to tear down the old building.
The tearing down of buildings is one thing, but in worship and church life, we have torn down many things. One of the things that we have torn down is "story time". I was pleased to receive word that Calvin Reid's book, Birdlife in Wington is being republished. It has been out of print for a number of years, and yet, this book is for me one of my ancient landmarks. All the stories are good, and the one that keeps me laughing is about the church usher leading a couple to a pew. Arriving at the spot where the usher wants the couple to be seated, he turns around, only to discover that the couple had ducked into a pew near the back of the church.
My stories were never as good as Rev. Reid's; however, I tried. One day, I took five sweet potatoes and dressed and gave each one a name and a story. Present in church that day were Mrs. Common Tater; Mr. Spec Tater, Miss Mash Tater, Mrs. Emmy Tater, and the Rev. Mr. Po Tater.
Another Sunday we were introduced to the song, Magic Penny, which tells us that "Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more." I went among the congregation gathering pennies, and at the right time of "Lend it, spend it", I threw them all onto the floor. The noise was awesome!
Forty years later, I am still asked for copies of those two stories.
The memories of ancient landmarks built by relationships and experience can never be removed. However, the removal of those ancient landmarks into which we have invested our energy, money, talents, and congregational experiences do hurt.
I lived through a church fire. I recall looking at the ruins of the church hall and recalling the many times when we had gathered in the hall for games, dinners, receptions, celebrations, plays, conventions, even meetings of presbytery. It was a time to grieve, to accept, and to re-invest.
In such circumstances, we will find God's grace to help us … just when we need it.
Together, we pray: Gracious God, we thank You for humour, for in it, we see ourselves. When we are in the process of seeing things that we treasure being removed, may Your grace meet our every need. Amen.
Loved your story about the Tater family! Thanks for sharing and pointing us to the things that we need to remember, things that matter. Blessings.
Thank you for today's devotional Rev. Worden. I'm sure your creativity and humour have been/are enjoyed by all generations in your congregation.
May we hear more from you.
I would love to have a copy of those two stories I think I have heard the potato one as February is potato drive month in Kitchener Waterloo and area that the House of Friendship and the food bank feed.
Good morning, I receive the "Presbyterian Devotional" each day and I was interested in your "story time" with the 5 sweet potatoes. I'd like to share the story with our congregation during "children's time".
Well it was indeed a pleasure to read your devotion.
I have a preschool and assist in our Church's Sunday school.
It would be an honor to share that with our children and even the teachers.
I think most of us who read these devotionals can relate to the content of your story. I know I have used the Tater story several times, and will continue to use it as it will always be a good application so long as potatoes are around. So some things will always be up to date.
Your devotional brought to mind an old TV program called seems Like Yesterday.
SO we retain and continue to use the time proven methods of glorifying God and let the rest live on in our memories.
Our problem at our church has for a long time been that the refusal to tear down the old has nearly turned into worship of those things. That has prevented us from accepting the new. It reminds me of the adage, "to change isn't necessarily to improve, but to improve always requires change". I guess it's the difference between respecting our roots and revering them.
I recall Bird Life in Wington very well – I don't know how it affected our kids, but we loved the stories!
It was great to hear your voice in this message, and to recall you sharing your wisdom and theology.
Thank you Richard Warden for a heart-felt devotional. It opens sensitive feelings.
There is only a black plaque with white lettering on it where the church of my childhood formerly sat.
May God bless you to witness again in future devotions.
I was touched by the thought for today. There is a time for everything. I love storytellers. It is not so much the story as much as it is the telling of the story.
Today we are brought up in world of success is everything, it is sometimes tough to see things decline. However, like our lives, we are designed, apparently, to face seasons both in the world and in ourselves but our God is faithful and never-changing. He alone is the one constant that we can rely on and rejoice in.
His ways are not necessarily our ways, or choices, all we can do is to place ourselves and our communities into His loving care and act and pray for them the best we can.
I am reminded of a pastor in the Falklands who spent thirty years sowing seeds only to see no fruit in his service. However, his successor reaped the harvest of all his hard work and faithfulness. To God be the glory great things He has done, is doing, and has yet to do.
So many ways of change as we age. Thank you for this note.


Hey, wait a minute !!
This Bass has an incredibly wild finish on it, This is done in a combination of ways and requires a tremendous amount of skill and patience. A job like this can take up to week to do.
Dean Z, after playing this you won't want a Gibson !!!
The tone & resonance are awesome.
That big tuning fork headstock resonates like a banshee.
Originally Ed thought it was too ugly to sell so he figured he would use it.
Everyone loves this guitar so much that Ed is offering relics where the wood is worn down like this.
Ed says "If these other Jibroneys, chare $10,000,00 to $30,000.00 for just chips & scratches."
" We can do it better, more realistic and of course as always, cheaper !!!!!!"
But JET guitars offers some of the finest Spalt we have ever seen.
"Quicksilver Guitars are Awesome Guitars"
This guitar plays circles around a Les Paul, The action is set lower.
This guitar is hand built completely in the USA unlike a Les Paul.
Why would anyone want a Les Paul ?
Maybe they like heavy, cumbersome, outdated guitars.
Maybe they are rebelling against modern technology.
Maybe they are insecure, and want to join the groups of other lemmings.
Maybe they are trying to recapture their youth.
Maybe they like paying hand made prices for machine made guitars.
Why Do a Retop ?
To fix the guitar after some one drilled it out, damaged it, or put a tremolo on it.
To make it sound better.
To Upgrade the incorrect hardware the factory installed.
To change the standard mounting or position of the pickups.
To be an anti traditionalist.
To make your guitar look much better.
To make your guitar a true extension of your own personality and not someone else's.
If you own a PRS with a tremolo or one of their substandard, wraparound bridges. Or possibly a BC Rich, that has one of those cheesy Badass bridges or Quadmatic wraparound bridges. Or any guitar with a trem or crappy bridge.
A retop will solve all your problems!!!!
Sometimes it's cheaper just to out and buy a new guitar. But then there's that old nostalgic sentimentality that you have attached to Old Betsy. You can't put a price on that. Maybe the guitar belonged to your dad and you want to honor him by playing it. Very admirable but that old time technology will limit your playing severely. Dad would probably not want that.
Call Ed Roman Now !!!!


The Line Protocol is a text based format for writing points to InfluxDB.
Each line, separated by the newline character \n, represents a single point in InfluxDB. Line Protocol is whitespace sensitive.
Line Protocol informs InfluxDB of the data's measurement, tag set, field set, and timestamp.
Tag set Optional All tag key-value pairs for the point. Tag keys and tag values are both strings.
Field set Required. Points must have at least one field. All field key-value pairs for the point. Field keys are strings. Field values can be floats, integers, strings, or Booleans.
Timestamp Optional. InfluxDB uses the server's local nanosecond timestamp in UTC if the timestamp is not included with the point. The timestamp for the data point. InfluxDB accepts one timestamp per point. Unix nanosecond timestamp. Specify alternative precisions with the HTTP API.
Sort tags by key before sending them to the database. The sort should match the results from the Go bytes.Compare function.
Use the coarsest precision possible for timestamps. This can result in significant improvements in compression.
Use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize time between hosts. InfluxDB uses a host's local time in UTC to assign timestamps to data; if hosts' clocks aren't synchronized with NTP, the timestamps on the data written to InfluxDB can be inaccurate.
Float Field values IEEE-754 64-bit floating-point numbers. This is the default numerical type. Examples: 1, 1.0, 1.e+78, 1.E+78.
Integer Field values Signed 64-bit integers (-9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807). Specify an integer with a trailing i on the number. Example: 1i.
String Measurements, tag keys, tag values, field keys, field values Length limit 64KB.
Boolean Field values Stores TRUE or FALSE values.
TRUE write syntax:[t, T, true, True, TRUE].
Timestamp Timestamps Unix nanosecond timestamp. Specify alternative precisions with the HTTP API. The minimum valid timestamp is -9223372036854775806 or 1677-09-21T00:12:43.145224194Z. The maximum valid timestamp is 9223372036854775806 or 2262-04-11T23:47:16.854775806Z.
Acceptable Boolean syntax differs for data writes and data queries. See Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
Within a measurement, a field's type cannot differ within a shard, but it can differ across shards. See Frequently Asked Questions for how field value type discrepancies can affect SELECT * queries.
InfluxDB supports field values specified in scientific notation.
> INSERT mymeas value="stringing along"
Always double quote string field values. More on quoting below.
* Line Protocol allows users to double and single quote measurement names, tag keys, tag values, and field keys. It will, however, assume that the double or single quotes are part of the name, key, or value. This can complicate query syntax (see the example below).
> INSERT mymeas value=9 "1466625759000000000"
Double quoting (or single quoting) the timestamp yields a bad timestamp error.
> SHOW FIELD KEYS FROM "mymeas"
InfluxDB assumes that all double quoted field values are strings.
> SELECT * FROM "mymeas"
> SELECT * FROM "\"mymeas\""
If you double quote a measurement in Line Protocol, any queries on that measurement require both double quotes and escaped (\) double quotes in the FROM clause.
Line Protocol does not require users to escape the backslash character \. Users do not need to escape all other special characters.
> INSERT "measurement\ with\ quo⚡es\ and\ emoji",tag\ key\ with\ sp🚀ces=tag\,value\,with"commas" field_k\ey="string field value, only \" need be esc🍭ped"
The system writes a point where the measurement is "measurement with quo⚡es and emoji", the tag key is tag key with sp🚀ces, the tag value is tag,value,with"commas", the field key is field_k\ey and the field value is string field value, only " need be esc🍭ped.
# at the beginning of the line is a valid comment character for Line Protocol. InfluxDB will ignore all subsequent characters until the next newline \n.
Measurement names, tag keys, tag values, field keys, and field values are case sensitive.
Line Protocol accepts InfluxQL keywords as identifier names. In general, we recommend avoiding using InfluxQL keywords in your schema as it can cause confusion when querying the data.
The keyword time is a special case. time can be a continuous query name, database name, measurement name, retention policy name, subscription name, and user name. In those cases, time does not require double quotes in queries. time cannot be a field key or tag key; InfluxDB rejects writes with time as a field key or tag key and returns an error. See Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
See the Tools section for how to write Line Protocol to the database.
A point is uniquely identified by the measurement name, tag set, and timestamp. If you submit Line Protocol with the same measurement, tag set, and timestamp, but with a different field set, the field set becomes the union of the old field set and the new field set, where any conflicts favor the new field set.
See Frequently Asked Questions for a complete example of this behavior and how to avoid it.

The Hyper-V Replica communications architecture is implemented at the Hyper-V Replica Network transport layer. This layer provides a bi-directional transport channel based on the HTTP Client-Server model to send virtual machine replicas and control messages between Primary and Replica servers. Replica Network Services is responsible for authorizing access to a Replica server and mutually authenticating the Primary and Replica servers. It also provides the ability to encrypt and compress data that is sent by the primary server. In summary, Replica Network Services provides a secure, authorized, authenticated and efficient network transport channel for replicating virtualized workloads between Hyper-V servers.
Directing replication to a particular port based on Hyper-V Replication configuration and port configuration in the firewall.
Some of the supported features are visible in the configuration interface for the Replica Server.
Encryption of communications between Primary and Replica sites is not enabled by default. If Windows Integrated Authentication (Kerberos) is selected, the Kerberos encrypt function is not used by Hyper-V Replica. This method uses the Windows Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) to generate the message exchange between the Primary and Replica server. Kerberos authentication for services is achieved by using Service Principal Names (SPNs). Hyper-V Replica Network Services creates and registers a new SPN (Service Principal Name) for which the service class is 'Hyper-V Replica Service'. If encryption is desired, then Certificate-based Authentication should be selected allowing the underlying SSL layer to encrypt the packets using a selected certificate.
Note: A valid X509v3 digital certificate is required for Mutual Authentication using certificates.
Once the Replica server configuration is completed, communications between a Primary and Replica server do not commence until a virtual machine hosted on the Primary server is configured for replication. Before this happens, the Replication Health (if displayed) for a virtual machine is Not Applicable. Each virtual machine hosted on a Primary server must be individually configured for replication using the Enable Replication wizard. Once configured, the Replication Health for a virtual machine changes to Normal.
Once reliable communications are established between a Primary and Replica server, control and data messages are exchanged.
The Hyper-V Replica Network Services layer creates a control channel to send and receive control messages from the Primary to the Replica server. Hyper-V Replica Network Services first checks to see if a control connection already exists. If one does, the connection is used. If one does not, a new connection is created and stored in an internal table. Hyper-V Replica Network Services then generates a packet for the control message and sends it across the network to the Replica server. Hyper-V Replica Network Services on the Replica server forwards the package to the Hyper-V Replica Replication Engine (RE), which acts upon it and sends a response back within a timeout interval (120 seconds). Unlike data packets, control packets are not chunked or compressed. Furthermore, the control channel messages are synchronous and therefore there is no retry logic built into Hyper-V Replica Network Services for control channels if a connection fails.
Once a session is established with a Replica server and control packets have been successfully exchanged, the Hyper-V Replica Replication Engine will start transferring data from the Primary to the Replica server for the configured virtual machine based on the virtual machine ID (GUID). The Hyper-V Replica Network Services layer will check if a data connection exists for the virtual machine to the Replica server and use it. If it does not, a connection is created and the connection information is stored in an internal table. Before any data is sent, a control packet is sent to the replica server that contains a list of files that will be sent from the Primary server. The Replica server response contains information about which, if any, of the files already exist. The Hyper-V Replica Replication Engine on the Primary server will use the network interface provided by the Hyper-V Replica Network Service to send the data (files). These files will be either for an Initial Replication (IR) or for a Delta Replication (DR). The Hyper-V Replica Network Service layer chunks the data (2 MB chunks) and compresses the data. The data is encrypted if using the Mutual Authentication scheme involving certificates.
Once the chunks of data are received by the Hyper-V Replica Network Service layer on the Replica server, they are decrypted, deflated, and glued back together and placed in the location that was provided in the virtual machine configuration. Once the entire payload is received, the Hyper-V Replica Network Service on the Replica server notifies the Replication Engine on the Primary that the transfer has been completed.
If a virtual machine migration occurs while a data transfer is in progress, the Hyper-V Replica Network Service will clean-up any existing connections and reinitiate the connection to the Replica server without any manual intervention once the migration is completed. Once a connection is available, the Hyper-V Replica Network Service will send the same replica that may have been interrupted because of the migration. This is accomplished by doing a file comparison on what is already available on the Replica server against the files that need to be sent by the Primary server.
If a storage migration in the Primary server occurs while a data transfer is in progress, the Hyper-V Replica Network Service will stop sending any replicas to the replica server until the migration is completed and the data channel has been cleaned up. Once a migration completes, the Hyper-V Replica Network Service re-opens the connection to the Replica server and sends the same replica that had not been sent already. This is accomplished by doing a file comparison on what is already available on the Replica server against the files that need to be sent from the Primary server.
Data channels are persistent channels between Primary and Replica servers. Control channels, on the other hand, are short lived. To persist the data channel in an environment where 'proxies' potentially exist, an echo process has been put in place. Most 'proxies' allow for a 120-second 'keep-live' for a connection. To persist the data channel between a Primary and Replica server, echo packets are sent every 90 seconds. A Data channel is torn down when replication is paused, replication is removed for a virtual machine, or a virtual machine enabled for replication is deleted.
In addition to a connection timeout default (120 seconds), there is built-in retry logic within the Hyper-V Replica Network Service when a DR is occurring.
Network Error Exponentially increase the retry interval from start of first attempt at DR (1, 2, 4, 8, 10 minutes). If network error persists, retry every 30 minutes.
Replication Paused\Low disk Space on the Replica server This is a case where replication has been paused for a virtual machine or the Replica server is running low on disk space. Retries occur every replication interval or when the user manually triggers a replication (Resume Replication). Check the Hyper-V VMMS\Admin log for additional information.
Network Error – Replica Broker If the Replica server is a Hyper-V Failover Cluster and the Replication Broker role is configured, retries occur at 1, 2, and 3 minutes. Failing to start a DR, the Replica Broker is re-contacted to determine the correct location of the Replica server.
Non-Recoverable Error Virtual machine Replication Status will be shown as Critical – suspended and administrator intervention is required. Examples would include a broken VHD chain or the Replica virtual machine is in an invalid state.
Network Authentication Error This is a non-recoverable error and no retires will be attempted. An event log message is registered and administrator intervention is required.
Authorization Error This is a non-recoverable error and no retires will be attempted. An event log message is registered and administrator intervention is required.
Virtual Machine not found In the case of a standalone Hyper-V server, this is a non-recoverable error and administrator intervention is required. If the Replica server is a Hyper-V Failover Cluster with the Replica Broker configured, the same logic is applied as indicated above (Network Error – Replica Broker).
Low memory condition If a low memory condition occurs on the Primary server, the retry logic is the same as indicated above for Paused Replication.
Cancel\Pause from Primary Server There is no retry logic in this case.

While the number of haircare products targeted at men has seen a sharp decline in the past year, new research from Mintel has found that despite this, the men's haircare market is continuing to grow. Indeed, although the number of haircare launches aimed at men declined by 46% between 2013 and 2014 alone, with male-specific launches making up just 3% of new launches in the total category in 2014, sales of haircare products for men grew from £59 million in 2013 to a predicted £60 million in 2014. This healthy growth is expected to continue with value sales forecast to rise to £68 million in 2019.
Furthermore, Mintel's research shows the importance of a good head of hair for the nation's men. Whilst two thirds (65%) of men who use haircare products say that having well-groomed hair makes them feel more attractive, one in five (21%) say that it's important to follow latest trends when it comes to hairstyles, rising to over a third (38%) of 16-24 year olds. In addition, almost a quarter of men (23%) say they like to change their hairstyle depending on where they are going, rising to over two in five (43%) of men aged 16-24.
However while long hair is leading hair trends for men, it seems many men are concerned with losing their locks. Indeed, the top three concerns amongst men when it comes to hair is thinning hair, with over a quarter (27%) claiming this is a concern, whilst 24% say they're concerned about hair loss and one in five (17%) are worried about hair that is difficult to style.
Highlighting these concerns, Mintel's research shows that when it comes to product innovation opportunities, a quarter (24%) would like to try products that stimulate hair growth, 23% would be interested in products that make hair easier to style, whilst one in five (21%) would be interested in products that thicken hair.
"Hair loss is a universal concern for men, although the reasons for being concerned about hair loss may be different. Younger men may find it harder to retain hair styles, or experiment with different hair styles as they lose hair. For older men, being concerned about hair loss may be more about not wanting to look older. Products that stimulate hair growth will therefore appeal to men of all ages." Roshida continues.
Furthermore, Mintel's research shows that when it comes to the women's haircare market, consumers are trading up, with sales of prestige haircare products rising by 6% from £380 million in 2013 to £403 million in 2014. What's more, this has followed an increase in prestige product innovation with the proportion of new product launches with a prestige price point increasing to 29% in 2014 from 18% in 2013. Overall, the women's haircare market in the UK rose 2% in 2014 to £1.44 billion, up from £1.41 billion in 2013.
When it comes to price point, over four in 10 (44%) users of hair treatments or masks typically use a prestige product, while hairspray is the product most likely to be a budget buy with almost one in five (18%) typically choosing a budget product.
However, whilst women are trading up to products with premium price points, the factors they feel have the biggest impact on appearance of hair it seems are primarily internal. Over half (57%) of UK women agreed that health, for example hormone levels, have a big impact in determining the appearance of hair, whilst a matching proportion (57%) said the same of diet, for example the consumption of fruit or vegetables or drinking enough water. In comparison, just a third (33%) agreed that the quality of ingredients found in haircare products had an important impact.
"Innovation in hair treatment claims can appeal to women looking to counteract and repair the effects of poor diet on the hair." Charlotte concludes.

Is human fart toxic?
Farts Can Be Toxic
Nitrogen, a gas that can be used to execute prisoners is the asphyxiant found in greatest quantity in farts. Flammable methane is another such asphyxiant, and can constitute a large percentage of your fart gas. Your farts also don't have much oxygen in them.

Is it better to fart or hold it in?
Trying to hold it in leads to a build up of pressure and major discomfort. A build up of intestinal gas can trigger abdominal distension, with some gas reabsorbed into the circulation and exhaled in your breath. Holding on too long means the build up of intestinal gas will eventually escape via an uncontrollable fart.

Justia › US Law › US Case Law › US Supreme Court › Volume 185 › Wilson v. Iseminger
Wilson v. Iseminger, 185 U.S. 55 (1902)
Wilson v. Iseminger
Decided April 7, 1902
The seventh section of the Act of Pennsylvania of April 27, 1855, is as follows:
"That in all cases where no payment, claim, or demand shall have been made on account of or for any ground rent, annuity, or other charge upon real estate for twenty-one years, or no declaration or acknowledgment of the existence thereof shall have been made within that period by the owner of the premises, subject to such ground rent, annuity, or charge, a release or extinguishment thereof shall be presumed, and such ground rent, annuity, or charge shall thereafter be irrecoverable: Provided, That the evidence of such payment may be perpetuated by recording in the recorder of deeds' office of the proper county the duplicate of
Page 185 U. S. 56
any receipt therefor, proved by oath or affirmation to be a true copy of that signed and delivered in the presence of the payer and witnessed at the time by this deponent, which recorded duplicate or the exemplification of the record thereof shall be evidence until disproved, and the evidence of any such claim or demand may be perpetuated by the record of any judgment recovered for such rent, annuity, or charge in any court of record, or the transcript therein filed of any recovery thereof by judgment before any alderman or justice of the peace, which record and judgment shall be duly indexed: Provided, That this section shall not go into effect until three years from the passage of this act."
Held that this was not an act or law impairing the obligation of contracts within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States.
This was an action of assumpsit brought December, 1896, in the Court of Common Pleas, No. 1, of Philadelphia County, by Harvey G. Clay, administrator of the estate of Alexander Osbourne, deceased, against Adam Iseminger for recovery of arrears of ground rent due on a ground-rent deed between Alexander Osbourne and Jennie M., his wife, and the said Adam Iseminger, dated January 4, 1854. The statement of particulars claimed arrears of ground rent due, under the stipulations of said deed for the years 1887 to 1896, both inclusive, with interest on each arrear.
On January 27, 1897, one Elmer H. Rogers, having been permitted, as terre-tenant and owner in fee of the lot of ground described in the ground-rent deed, to intervene and defend pro interesse suo, filed, under the rules of the court, an affidavit of defense to the whole of the plaintiff's claim, averring that no payment, claim, or demand had been made by anyone on account of or for any ground rent on the premises described in the said deed, or from any owner of said premises, or any part thereof, for more than twenty-one years prior to the bringing of the suit; that no declaration or acknowledgment of the existence thereof, or of the right to collect said ground rent thereon, had been made within that period by or for any owner of said premises, or any part thereof, and that neither he nor they or any of them within that period ever executed any declaration of no set-off in reference to said ground rent, or recognized its existence in any way, manner, shape, or form.
This defense was based on the seventh section of an Act of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of April 27, 1855, in terms as follows:
"That in all cases where no payment, claim, or demand shall have been made on account of or for any ground rent, annuity, or other charge upon real estate for twenty-one years, or no declaration or acknowledgment of the existence thereof shall have been made within that period by the owner of the premises subject to such ground rent, annuity, or charge, a release or extinguishment thereof shall be presumed, and such ground rent, annuity, or charge shall thereafter be irrecoverable: Provided, That the evidence of such payment may be perpetuated by recording in the recorder of deeds' office of the proper county the duplicate of any receipt therefor, proved by oath or affirmation, to be a true copy of that signed and delivered in the presence of the payer and witnessed at the time by the deponent, which recorded duplicate or the exemplification of the record thereof, shall be evidence until disproved, and the evidence of any such claim or demand may be perpetuated by the record of any judgment recovered for such rent, annuity, or charge in any court of record, or the transcript therein filed of any recovery thereof by judgment before any alderman or justice of the peace, which records and judgments shall be duly indexed: Provided, That this section shall not go into effect until three years from the passage of this act."
Thereupon the plaintiff took out a rule on the defendant to show cause why judgment should not be entered against him for want of a sufficient affidavit of defense, assigning as a reason why such rule should be made absolute that the said seventh section of the Act of April 27, 1855, was unconstitutional within the tenth section of Article I of the Constitution of the United States, forbidding any state from passing any law impairing the obligation of contracts.
After a hearing, the court discharged the said rule for judgment; a bill of exceptions was signed and sealed, and the cause was then taken to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, where the judgment of the court of common pleas was affirmed. 187 Pa. 108.
Thereafter the case came on for trial before the court and a
jury. The plaintiff offered evidence tending to show that the ground rent in question had never been paid off and extinguished. This offer was objected to as immaterial and irrelevant. The objection was sustained, and an exception was taken by the plaintiff. The court was asked to instruct the jury that the seventh section of the Act of April 27, 1855, was unconstitutional, because it impairs the contract reserving the rent, and was inhibited by the tenth section of Article I of the Constitution of the United States, which forbids the states from passing any law impairing the obligation of contracts. The request so to charge was refused by the trial judge. The defendants asked the court to charge that the verdict should be for the defendants. This request was granted. A bill of exceptions to the action of the court in rejecting the plaintiff's offer of evidence, in declining to charge as requested by the plaintiff, and in charging as requested by the defendant, was signed and sealed by the trial court. A verdict and judgment in favor of the defendants was then entered. The cause was then taken a second time to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, where, on April 3, 1899, the judgment of the court of common pleas was affirmed.
OF HE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA
MR. JUSTICE Shiras delivered the opinion of the Court.
The question for determination in this case is whether the seventh section of the Act of Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of April 27, 1855, the terms of which appear in the foregoing statement, is an act or law impairing the obligation of contracts within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States.
The peculiar character, under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania,
of irredeemable ground rents, must first receive our notice.
It is defined to be a rent reserved to himself and his heirs by the grantor of land, out of the land itself. It is not granted like an annuity or rent charge, but is reserved out of a conveyance of the land in fee. It is a separate estate from the ownership of the ground, and is held to be real estate, with the usual characteristics of an estate in fee simple, descendible, devisable, alienable. Bosler v. Kuhn, 8 W. & S. 185; Wallace v. Harmstad, 44 Pa. 495; McQuigg v. Morton, 39 Pa. 31.
It may be well to quote the language of the deed reserving the ground rent in question, which is that usually employed in the creation of such estates. The tenendum clause is in the usual form:
"To have and to hold the said described lot or piece of ground, hereditaments, and premises hereby granted with the appurtenances unto the said Adam Iseminger, his heirs and assigns, to the only proper use and behoof of the said Adam Iseminger, his heirs and assigns forever."
Then comes the reservation, as follows:
"Yielding and paying therefor and thereout to unto the said Alexander Osbourne, his heirs and assigns, the yearly rent or sum of seventy-two dollars, lawful money of the United States, in half-yearly payments on the first day of April and October every year hereafter forever, without any deduction, defalcation, or abatement for any taxes, charges, or assessments whatsoever to be assessed as well on the said hereby-granted premises as on the said yearly rent hereby and thereout reserved. The first half-yearly payment thereof to be made on the first day of October, 1854, and, on default of paying the said yearly rent on the days and time and in manner aforesaid, it shall and may be lawful for the said Alexander Osbourne, his heirs and assigns, to enter into and upon the said hereby-granted premises or any part thereof, and into the buildings thereon to be erected, and to distrain for the said yearly rent so in arrears and unpaid, without any exemption whatsoever, any law to the contrary thereof in anywise notwithstanding, and to proceed with and sell such distrained goods
and effects, according to the usual course of distresses, for rent charges. But if sufficient distress cannot be found upon the said hereby-granted premises to satisfy the said yearly rent in arrear and the charges of levying the same, then and in such case it shall and may be lawful for the said Alexander Osbourne, his heirs and assigns, into and upon the said hereby-granted lot and improvements wholly to reenter, and the same to have again, repossess, and enjoy as in his and their first and former estate and title in the same and as though this indenture had never been made,"
It appears in the Pennsylvania cases hereinbefore and hereafter cited that this form of estate was, in the early history of the commonwealth, a favorite form of investment, but that eventually great inconveniences arose from the existence of ancient ground rents, which the owners and occupants of the land never heard of, but of whose extinguishment the records of title made no mention. Indeed, the records disclosed the reservation of such ground rents unpaid and unextinguished, going back more than a century. In Korn v. Browne, 64 Pa. 55, there is a quotation in the opinion from a tract by Mr. Eli K. Price, a distinguished real estate lawyer of Philadelphia, as follows:
"Those only who are accustomed to make or read briefs of title in Philadelphia, going back to the times of the first settlement, know how frequently occur ancient rent charges and ground rents, which the owners of the present day never heard of, and which generally have no doubt been honestly extinguished; while making this note, the writer has such a single brief before him for an opinion, in which no less than three such charges occur as blemishes, grants, or reservations more than a century ago, which no person living has any knowledge of."
These evils led to the passage of the Act of the 27th of April, 1855, entitled "An Act to Amend Certain Defects of the Law for the More Just and Safe Transmission, and Secure Enjoyment of Real and Personal Estate."
The theory of this remedial act is that upon which all statutes of limitation are based -- a presumption that, after a long
lapse of time without assertion, a claim, whether for money or for an interest in land, is presumed to have been paid or released. This is a rule of convenience and policy, the result of a necessary regard to the peace and security of society.
Bonds, even when secured by mortgages upon land, mortgages themselves, merchants' accounts, legacies, judgments, promissory notes, and all evidences of debt, have universally been treated as lawfully within the reach of legislative power exercised by the passage of statutes of limitation. Such statutes, like those forbidding perpetuities and the statute of frauds, do not, in one sense, destroy the obligation of contracts as between the parties thereto, but they remove the remedies which otherwise would be furnished by the courts. Are not the powers of government adequate for this?
"Laws for the preservation and promotion of peace, good order, health, wealth, education, and even general convenience are supported under the police power of the state. Under these laws, personal rights, rights of property, and freedom of action may be directly affected, and men may be fined, imprisoned, and restrained, and property taken, converted, and sold away from its owner. The principle of such laws is most easily perceived and recognized when men are held liable for nuisances, acts, and negligences affecting the health and safety of society, when the marriage contract is dissolved, and when property is subjected to charges and sales for matters affecting the public interest and welfare. Beyond this is a wide domain of general convenience where the power is likewise exercised. Thus, estates held in joint tenancy and common may be divided among the tenants, even by conversion and sale; life estates and remainders may be separated from each other; qualified inheritances expanded into absolute fees, and contingent and executory interests extinguished. What greater reason has the owner of an irredeemable ground rent, coming down from a former generation, to complain [than] . . . the owner of a remainder or reversion, or of some contingent or executory interest?"
C. J. Agnew, in Palairet's Appeal, 67 Pa. 497.
"Notwithstanding the protection which the law gives to vested rights, it is possible for a party to debar himself of the
right to assert the same in the courts by his own negligence or laches. If one who is dispossessed be negligent for a long and unreasonable time, the law refuses afterwards to lend him any assistance to recover the possession merely, both to punish his neglect, . . . and also because it is presumed that the supposed wrongdoer has in such a length of time procured a legal title -- otherwise he would sooner have been sued. Statutes of limitation are passed which fix upon a reasonable time within which a party is permitted to bring suit for the recovery of his rights, and which, on failure to do so, establish a legal presumption against him that he has no rights in the premises. Such a statute is a statute of repose. Every government is under obligation to its citizens to afford them all needful legal remedies; but it is not bound to keep its courts open indefinitely for one who neglects or refuses to apply for redress until it may fairly be presumed that the means by which the other party might disprove his claim are lost in the lapse of time."
Cooley on Limitations, 6th ed. 44; Bell v. Morrison, 1 Pet. 351; Leffingwell v. Warren, 2 Black 606.
We are unable to perceive any sound distinction between claims arising out of ground rent deeds and other kinds of debts and claims which would exempt the former from the same legislative control that is conceded to lawfully extend to the latter.
But, assuming that there is nothing peculiar in ground rents that withdraw them from the reach of statutes of limitation, it is further contended in the present case that the Act of April 27, 1855, can have no valid application to a ground rent reserved before the passage of that statute. It may be properly conceded that all statutes of limitation must proceed on the idea that the party has full opportunity afforded him to try his right in the courts. A statute could not bar the existing rights of claimants without affording this opportunity; if it should attempt to do so, it would not be a statute of limitations, but an unlawful attempt to extinguish rights arbitrarily, whatever might be the purport of its provisions. It is essential that such statutes allow a reasonable time after they take effect for the commencement of suits upon existing causes of action, though
what shall be considered a reasonable time must be settled by the judgment of the legislature, and the courts will not inquire into the wisdom of its decision in establishing the period of legal bar unless the time allowed is manifestly so insufficient that the statute becomes a denial of justice. Cooley on Limitations 451.
Thus, in Terry v. Anderson, 95 U. S. 628, it was said per Chief Justice Waite:
"This Court has often decided that statutes of limitation affecting existing rights are not unconstitutional if a reasonable time is given for the commencement of an action before the bar takes effect. Hawkins v. Barney, 5 Pet. 457; Sohn v. Waterson, 17 Wall. 596."
"It is difficult to see why, if the legislature may prescribe a limitation where none existed before, it may not change one which has already been established. The parties to a contract have no more a vested interest in a particular limitation which has been fixed than they have in an unrestricted right to sue. They have no more a vested interest in the time for the commencement of an action than they have in the form of the action to be commenced, and as to the forms of action or modes of remedy, it is well settled that the legislature may change them at its discretion, provided adequate means of enforcing the right remain."
"In all such cases the question is one of reasonableness, and we have therefore only to consider whether the time allowed in this statute is, under all the circumstances, reasonable. Of that the legislature is primarily the judge, and we cannot overrule the decision of that department of the government, unless a palpable error has been committed. In judging of that, we must place ourselves in the position of the legislators, and must measure the time of limitation in the midst of the circumstances which surrounded them, as nearly as possible; for what is reasonable in a particular case depends upon its particular facts."
Turner v. New York, 168 U. S. 90; Saranac Land & Timber Co. v. Roberts, 177 U. S. 318.
In Korn v. Browne, 64 Pa. 57, this question was considered, and it was said, per Read, J.:
"The seventh section did not go into effect for three years, and gave ample time to all owners of ground rents to make claims and demands for the same, so as to prevent the bar of the statute. This prospective commencement makes the retrospective bar not only reasonable but strictly constitutional."
Citing Smith v. Morrison, 22 Pick, 430, and Ross v. Duval, 13 Pet. 64.
In Biddle v. Hooven, 120 Pa. 225, it was said, referring to Korn v. Browne, 64 Pa. 57:
"An examination of it shows that the only question there argued was whether the section of the act referred to has a retrospective, as well as a prospective, operation with regard to ground rents. This appears in the first sentence of the opinion of Justice Read. He very properly held that, as the seventh section did not go into effect for three years, and gave ample time to all owners of ground rents to make claims and demands for the same, so as to prevent the bar of the statute, that this prospective commencement made the retrospective bar, not only reasonable, but constitutional. In other words, the act gave ample time to preserve all existing rights. . . . The only ground upon which this kind of legislation can be justified is that, after the lapse of the statutory period the mortgage or other security is presumed to have been paid, or the ground rent extinguished. The payment of a mortgage and the extinguishment of a ground rent mean substantially the same thing. The act was not intended to destroy the ground landlord's ownership in the rent; it does not impair his title thereto, nor can it be said to impair the contract by which the rent was reserved, but from well grounded reasons of public policy it declares that, when the owner of such rent makes no claim or demand therefor for twenty-one years, it presumes it has been extinguished, which means nothing more than that it has been paid. The language cited, as before observed, affects only the remedy; if it meant more, it would be void for the excess."
The same conclusion was reached by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in Wallace v. Fourth U. P. Church, 152 Pa. 258, where it was said that
"the purpose of the act of 1855 was to relieve titles and facilitate the sale of real estate. It
fixes upon an arbitrary period of twenty-one years as that over which the search of a purchaser or other person must extend, and beyond which it shall not be necessary for him to look. If for twenty-one years no payment upon or acknowledgment of the ground rent can be shown and no demand for payment has been made, the act conclusively presumes a release and extinguishment of the encumbrance by the act of the parties, and declares that the rent shall thereafter be irrecoverable."
In that case, the ground rent had been reserved long before the passage of the Act of April 27, 1855, and it was held that, as twenty-one years and ten months had elapsed without the payment of rent, or demand for the same, the right to demand it was extinguished.
So, in the present case, where no payment or demand was shown to have been made for more than twenty-one years, it was held that, in view of the numerous and repeated decisions, the question must be considered at rest. Clay v. Iseminger, 187 Pa. 108.
We are therefore of opinion that the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania did not err in holding that the seventh section of the Act of April 27, 1855, was constitutionally applicable, and its judgment is

Duncan's summer job is anything but exciting. He's working in the Lost and Found at the Toronto subway, a place he refers to as "The Dungeon". Then one day, while looking for something to do, he discovers a book with a worn leather cover. The book is a diary documenting details about three women. What they look like, their daily schedules, their conversations on the subway are all there. Duncan has discovered the confessions of a stalker, potentially a serial killer. When the police disregard the diary, Duncan sets out to find the writer before it's too late.
Camp Excel. An academic camp for underachievers. Sound like fun? That's where Emily Wood has to spend her summer. Emily has two older sisters that get straight A's and have awards and trophies for everything they've ever done. Emily's parents can't understand why she doesn't. Emily doesn't understand why everyone can't leave her alone. If these things weren't enough, Emily has this recurring nightmare. She is struggling to get through a tangle of vines, already knowing what she will find when she breaks free. A crumpled body lying half in, half out of the water, eyes stretched wide with horror, mouth open in a scream no one could hear. She's been having this dream since she was eight years old, but lately she's been having it more than normal. When she arrives at Camp Excel, she has a feeling of terror that's almost as bad as the nightmare. But why would she feel this way about a place she's never even been?

Compliments for a Girl that Work Better Than You Think!
PURNIMA April 27, 2018, 1:02 pm April 23, 2018 0 735
We get it, girls may seem like complicated creatures. But if you're looking for the best compliments for a girl, it doesn't get any simpler than this. Anybody can tell a girl she is pretty or beautiful, but if you really want to impress a girl, you need to break out the best compliments for a girl. They'll make you stand out because these days it's easy to get lost in the crowd.
Giving a girl a compliment regarding her looks is always an easy way to go—but some girls want more than that. You need to dig a little deeper here, guys, you really need to impress some girls.
1. "You make me feel so comfortable." There is no greater honor than being told you are a comfortable presence. So many things in this life give stress and anxiety, so to be told that you rid somebody of those feelings is a wonderful sentiment.
2. "You have a beautiful soul." This may sound very "hippy-dippy," but this is a beautiful compliment to give a girl. A friend of mine used to tell me this often, and I still say to this day that he gave me the best compliment I ever received. It speaks to so much more than their looks or personality. It's everything about them—every single layer.
3. "I like your taste in music." Again, this compliment goes so much deeper than the surface. It speaks to your values, style, and life experiences. The type of music you listen to really says a lot about who you are as a person.
4. "You're always there for me." This may sound like a "thank you," but it really is a compliment. It says she is a nurturing and warm individual. She cares about other people more than herself at times. That really makes a girl feel good. Whether she wants to be a mother one day or not, it is in her nature to be motherly to those she cares about. This compliment always make a girl feel respected and appreciated.
5. "I miss you." Another compliment that doesn't really sound like a compliment on the surface, but, trust me—this three-word statement melts a girl. You're thinking about her, and you wish she was there?
