Kathryn confronts MacLaren about an affair she believes he is having, leading him to end his relationship with Carly. Charlotte, the misfire historian, is overwritten and murders her team. She attempts to assassinate Grace, but Trevor stops her. Grace reveals that the anti-Director faction was responsible for the team's abduction. Charlotte is shot by Jeff while attempting to kill Carly. Ellis reveals that he has built a quantum frame that the Director, an advanced AI, can use to travel to the present to escape the faction. David is held at gunpoint by another assassin but is saved by Marcy. The team arrives at the farm where Trevor has received a text to destroy the frame. Boyd reveals she received an order to kill MacLaren and holds him at gunpoint; Carly later reveals having been given the same mission. Assassins surround the farm as Ellis shoots Trevor to keep him from harming the frame. Grace jumps in front of Trevor and is shot as well. Ellis shuts down the perimeter shield in the hope that the Director will help them and delivers a message to destroy the frame shortly before he dies. It is revealed that the people surrounding them are not anti-Director assassins, but FBI agents led by Forbes.
Located at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, the two small colonial towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo have become the hottest vacation destinations in Mexico in recent years. With wide, pristine beaches, lively nightclubs, glam resorts, and a farm-to-table food scene, the oasis of Los Cabos is drawing tourists in record numbers. As a result, the hotel scene is booming, with a clutch of new developments and renovations completed this year along the Tourist Corridor, including the sleek Chileno Bay, an Auberge Resort, and a stunning beachfront Solaz resort.
Oceanic islands are islands that do not sit on continental shelves. The vast majority are volcanic in origin, such as Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean.[11] The few oceanic islands that are not volcanic are tectonic in origin and arise where plate movements have lifted up the ocean floor above the surface. Examples are Saint Peter and Paul Rocks in the Atlantic Ocean and Macquarie Island in the Pacific.
There is a difference between islands and continents in terms of geology.[8][9] Continents are the largest landmass of a particular continental plate; this holds true for Australia, which sits on its own continental lithosphere and tectonic plate (the Australian plate). By contrast, islands are either extensions of the oceanic crust (e.g. volcanic islands), or belong to a continental plate containing a larger landmass; the latter is the case of Greenland, which sits on the North American plate.
In August 2012, Travelers sued the National Football League for forcing the company and its subsidiaries to pay to defend the league for failing to protect players from brain injury, in a case filed in the New York State Supreme Court called Discover Property & Casualty Co. et al. vs. National Football League et al., New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No. 652933/2012. The league had sued over three dozen insurance companies the week before in an attempt to cover the claims that players made against the league.[41][42][43]
Ever since Tolminc raw-milk cheeses and Slovenian marbled trout were featured on an episode of the Netflix series Chef's Table with chef Ana Roš, Slovenia's culinary star has been on the rise. Hiša Franko, the Soca Valley inn and restaurant that Roš runs with her sommelier husband, is now one of the region's hardest tables to get — prompting the pair to open a small brewpub, Hiša Polonka. Surging demand for Slovenia's natural and orange wines has driven local winemakers like Burja Estate and Movia to expand. And in the capital of Ljubljana, adventurous chefs at Monstera, Atelje, and Restavracija JB are helping redefine modern Slovenian cuisine, while the experimental farm and eatery Gostišče Grič has brought in a Swedish celebrity duck farmer and full-time forager to create one of Europe's most unexpected dining experiences. —Nicholas Gill
Rising above its associations with the annual hot-air-balloon festival, Albuquerque will this year set out to prove itself as a fully-fledged destination. The Sawmill District, just north of the historic Old Town, is being revived as a creative center, anchored by the arrival of the Hotel Chaco. The design of this boutique property, which opened in April, is inspired by the state's indigenous culture, with handmade Navajo wool textiles and pueblo-inspired motifs. Come spring, downtown ABQ will also see the arrival of a new entertainment hub: the $40 million One Central, which will have a sleek bowling lounge, as well as upscale stores and restaurants. And just outside town, visitors will soon be able to experience the striking Sandia Mountains in a nail-biting new way. The proposed Mountain Coaster, an alpine sled-style ride that plunges riders down the mountainside in a total vertical drop of 380 feet, is due to open this fall. Getting to Albuquerque is becoming even easier, thanks to new nonstop flights from major U.S. cities via Southwest, United, and Alaska Airlines. —Melanie Lieberman

In October 2015, Travelers acquired a majority interest in the property casualty business of its J. Malucelli joint venture in Brazil. J. Malucelli commenced writing property casualty business in 2012.[27] The property casualty business operates under the Travelers brand and focuses on property, general liability, construction and financial insurance products. The business is based in São Paulo.
History buffs and intrepid travelers have long been attracted to Jordan and its famous archaeological site of Petra, a "lost" citadel dating back 2,000 years. And despite political unrest in the broader region, the country remains a safe destination to discover the wonders of the Middle East. After playing out Indiana Jones fantasies amid the rose-colored, rock-cut façades of Petra's famous landmark, Al Khazneh (the Treasury), set out to unearth the nation's other historical attractions. In the lesser-known city of Jerash, 170 miles from Petra, you can see the ruins of an ancient Roman settlement, including the second-century Hadrian's Arch, while in the protected desert wilderness of Wadi Rum, you'll find some 25,000 rock carvings that trace the early development of the alphabet.


Hi everyone, just a quick post to let you, the blog readers, know that I've gone Google. Starting in January I'll be part of the Google Analytics team.
I wrote a small post on the Cardinal Path blog, but wanted to reach everyone reading this blog and add a little more detail about what I'll be doing.
Before I tell you about my new role, I want to take another opportunity to that the team at Cardinal Path. David, Alex, John, Corey and Dave (in no particular order) have assembled a fantastic team and created a unique place to work.
With that said, I'm very excited to join the Google team! I obviously love their product and think they will have a significant impact on how companies use data to be more successful.
In my new role I will be externally focused and very hands on with GA. I'll be meeting customers, going to conferences, blogging, etc. I'll also help guide some of educational efforts.
My (tentative) new title is Analytics Advocate. I really like this because I'll be advocating for everyone that uses GA. You got problems? Let me know!
3. I will eliminate all tracking code and make the data magically appear in your account.
But seriously, I'm super excited to join a team that can revolutionize how businesses function online.
Thanks again for all the support, comments, tweets, etc. Please stay in touch and make sure we're connected on Twitter, Google +, or LinkedIn.
I was following your work time before coming to Canada and having the chance to be work mates. I'll be on doing it even if you decide to quit analytics and open a bar in Yukon because your insights will still be interesting.
Have fun, keep on doing it!
@Ani: Absolutely, my list is a lot longer! But we'll start off slow.
@Soren: I will continue to post on this blog. In fact I'll be posting more.
Justin, congrats again! What an amazing opportunity.
Congrats mate! That is great news for you. I am just starting to get into analytics and your posts have always been a good help.
I hope you'll not stop blogging your helpful analytics tip here.
Got one problem in my client analytics account under in-page analytics section. It doesn't track detail pages stats & showing this message "There are no pageviews recorded for this page. Try adjusting the date range or select an alternate page." I tried one of the solution i.e. created another profile with no filters but also it is showing the same results. How to solve this?
Thanks & Congrats once again for your new journey in Google.
@Hyderali: Are there virtual pageviews on the page? The In-page analytics report often has bugs. If you're not using very basic GA tracking then it will usually break.
Big, big congrats! Must be really exciting!
Will you continue posting on this blog, or?
Good luck in your new endeavor. I look forward to seeing your posts in the future and being a voice not only for Google, but for users as well. Best of luck!
Congrats Justin. Your book on analytics is one of the few IT books I have read more than twice. Not because I didn't understand it the first time around, but because it is far superior in it's simplicity to read and understand. It was presented very well. IT books can usually stump me in the first chapter with a concept or problem I can't resolve, reproduce, or get past and I then find the book of little value. Not so here. I have made it to the end of your book more than twice.
Having both you and Avinash working on Google Analytics can only be a good thing. I look forward to hearing about the great stuff you have planned for Google Analytics!
Congratulations. Good luck with the new role. I am looking forward to speaking with you at your event anytime soon.
Congratulations! Best of luck in your new role, and I hope our paths cross again- I have a feeling 2012 will be another great year for GA, knowing you'll be on the team only supports it!
I know you will be a fantastic user advocate on the GA team.
I'm looking forward to get information about GA new feature from this blog.And I also expect to read you new book.
Congratulations Justin (from a complete stranger)… it's interesting and encouraging to hear your new role will be externally facing. I'm sure you will have read it but the comments on this post from the Google Analytics blog (http://analytics.blogspot.com/2011/11/email-scheduler-pdf-export-and.html) give you a pretty good idea of what is currently worrying many Google Analytics users at the moment. I'm sure that any soothing oil that you can pour on these troubled waters would be very welcome.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes, I really appreciate it! I look forward to more interactions with you all here on the blog and in the social space!
I am beyond excited for you! Congratulations.
I support this kind and organic decision 100%. No sampling was necessary.
… congrats Justin for going Google.
And also: congrats Google for going Justin!


Once Luxury 8 Seater Hire, a trading name of Glasgow Coach Drivers Limited, hereinafter referred to as "the Operator", confirms your booking a contract is made between the Operator and you upon the terms and conditions set out below. Your statutory rights are not affected. In a booking with more than one passenger the 'lead passenger' will be deemed to have accepted the terms and conditions on behalf of all passengers within the booking. The 'lead passenger' is the passenger who makes the booking on behalf of all passengers in a multi-passenger booking and is named in the 'lead passenger' field within the booking. Within these Booking Conditions, "you" and "your" means all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added at a later date).
1.1 The Operator accepts a booking on the understanding that a deposit or full payment has been collected and held either by the Operator directly, or by an authorised travel agent on the Operator's behalf. Bookings made via the Operator's own website are considered as made with the Operator directly.
1.2 On confirmation of your booking, subject to availability and at the Operator's discretion, the Operator will reserve your place(s) on your selected products ("tours"). It is your (or on bookings involving more than one person, the lead passenger's) responsibility, as the customer, to check the accuracy of your booking and travel dates. A contract is only made between you and the Operator upon your booking being confirmed and accepted and communication thereof to either you or your authorised travel agent (hereinafter referred to as "confirmation").
1.3 On confirmation of your fully paid booking a Booking Statement indicating the amount paid and an Itinerary will be sent to either you or your travel agent.
1.4 If you wish to book to travel at student prices, you must have an ISIC, ITIC or ISE student card, valid at the time of travel.
2.1 The Operator's Itineraries/Booking Statements confirming 'Full Payment' are not transferable. Your Itinerary/Ticket/Booking Statement indicating that full payment has been made must be produced at any time at the Operator's request. Photo identification is required for all tours.
2.2 Baggage is restricted to one reasonable sized suitcase or backpack and one small carry-on bag per passenger (maximum combined weight 15KG). Baggage in excess of this limit may not be carried.
2.3 It is your responsibility to check-in with the Operator 15 minutes prior to the specified departure time. The Operator will not be liable for any service that leaves or returns later than its specified time, even if as a result you miss a connecting service. The Operator will use its best efforts to ensure that departure and return times are met.
3.2 Where a deposit has been made on a booking and the booking is cancelled by you or your booking agent prior to full payment being made, or in the circumstances of the balance not being received by the Operator or their authorised agent by the due date, no refund of the deposit will be applicable, nor can it be credited or transferred to any other booking for a trip of a lower value. It may be possible to transfer the deposit to a booking for a trip of a higher value.
3.3 Cancellation of individual passengers from a multiple booking where a group discount applies ('4 or more' discount) may mean that the discount applied on booking will be forfeited, due to the qualifying criteria no longer being met. If the cancellation results in the qualifying criteria no longer being met then the prices for the remaining passengers on the booking will be adjusted, and any forfeited discount will be reclaimed through deduction in calculating any refund due to the cancelling passengers.
3.4 Private Group / Bespoke Tours – specific cancellation fees apply to each tour, the Operator will inform you of these prior to payment. A non-refundable deposit will be required at time of booking to cover any accommodation, third party supplier, meals and attraction costs. Where bookings include entrance fees to attractions, accommodation, involve accommodation upgrades or specific accommodation requests any cancellation fees incurred by the Operator will be passed on to you in addition to the standard refund policy.
3.5 If after your booking has been confirmed, you wish to change to an alternative departure date, or wish to change to another Glasgow Coach Drivers Tours tour, you may do so subject to the tour being available and a minimum notice of 30 days prior to departure. All departure date changes will incur an administrative fee of 20 GBP per person per tour. Date changes will only be extended within the 2013 operating season up to 3 months from the original departure date.
3.6 Tour changes to one of a lower value or seasonality will result in the loss of any special discounts applied to the originally booked tour and will be subject to an administration fee equivalent to the cancellation fee on the original product.
3.7 Tour changes to one of higher value or seasonality will require the difference in price to be paid. This may also result in the loss of any special discounts applied to the originally booked tours.
3.8 If the reason for your cancellation is covered under your insurance policy, you may be able to make a claim under that policy.
4.1 The tour products offered are forms of transportation. For this reason the Operators' representatives cannot offer constant special attention or assistance should you have any physical disability requiring such attention.
4.2 Passengers must be aged 5 or over and be accompanied by a person 18 years or over. There is no upper age restriction.
4.3 PASSENGERS WITH DISABILITIES are welcome on trips, provided that they are accompanied by a companion capable of providing all necessary assistance and do not require special assistance from the Operator's personnel. Any medical or physical condition requiring third party attention or treatment must be advised in writing to our Reservations Team at the time the booking is made. It is your responsibility to see to it that your letter is acknowledged with the booking confirmation. The Operator cannot guarantee travel in the absence of such an acknowledgement. Similarly if you wish to make a special request about any matter concerning your travel or accommodation you must do so at the time of booking. Again, it is your responsibility to produce an acknowledgement from our Reservations Team at the time of travel. We will try to pass on any reasonable requests to the relevant suppliers but we cannot guarantee that your requests will be met. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or on any other acknowledgement is not confirmation that the request will be met. Failure to meet any special requests will not be a breach of contract on our part unless the request has been specifically acknowledged and confirmed as accepted by our Reservations Team. The Operator reserves the right to refuse to carry anyone if it is felt that the individual cannot cope with the requirements of the trip and who may require services and facilities that the Operator cannot guarantee will be available. The nature of the trips means that not every type of disability can be accommodated despite our reasonable endeavours. Most trips involve getting on and off coaches, sitting for long periods on coaches without toilet facilities, walking and other physical activities which may involve steps and stairs at sightseeing stops, visitor attractions and accommodation units. Coaches are not adapted to carry wheelchairs and do not have ramps, lift or low floor access. Collapsible wheelchairs can generally be carried in the luggage hold but you must check in advance with our Reservations Team to ensure that this is the case for your trip. The Operator cannot carry any motorised wheelchairs under any circumstances. You agree not to hold the Operator responsible for any decision made by them or by any service provider to refuse to carry you, provide any facilities or accommodation to you, or to provide any service to you in the absence of written acknowledgement and acceptance of your special request or of your disability from our Reservations Team. Please note that 100% cancellation charges would apply in these circumstances.
4.4 It is your responsibility to have a valid passport and all necessary visas, permits and certificates on your person for your selected itinerary and to have all necessary vaccinations and to comply with applicable laws.
4.5 You agree to comply with the authority of the Operator's representative and the laws and regulations of the countries visited, including customs and foreign exchange restrictions.
If you do not do so, you may, at the discretion of the Operator's representative, be asked to leave the trip. No refunds will be issued in such circumstances.
4.6 You agree that the Operators' representatives may take photographs and films of you while you are a passenger. These may be used in the Operator's Group brochures and/or advertising and publicity material without obtaining any further consent or payment in respect of such photographs and/or films.
4.7 You agree that the Operator may use any text written in comments books, recorded in customer surveys or input to online forums, in Group brochures, websites and/or advertising and publicity material without obtaining any further consent or payment in respect of comments.
4.8 There may be times when the Operator's personnel have to make a decision in the interests of safety. It is a condition of bookings that you comply with the authority and decisions of the appointed representative of the Operator. If you do not comply with the said representative or are not compatible with the general enjoyment and well being of members of the trip, the Operator reserves the right to refuse to allow you to continue the trip. In such a case the Operator will not be liable for any refund, compensation or any additional costs incurred by you. The Operator cannot accept liability for the behaviour of others on your trip nor if any facilities are curtailed as a result of their actions.
4.9 The Operators do not tolerate any form of abuse, verbal or otherwise, of its personnel. Any passenger abusing or threatening personnel will automatically forfeit their right to onward travel.
4.10 You are responsible for looking after your personal belongings whilst travelling. The Operator cannot be held responsible for any personal belongings left behind or damaged on any trip irrespective of the circumstances.
4.11 It is the responsibility of the passenger to check the accuracy of dates booked upon receipt of their Booking Statement confirming 'Full Payment'.
4.12 If you paid a Concession price on booking, you will be required to prove this entitlement at check-in for each departure. Should you not be able to do this, you will be charged the difference between the normal brochure price and the discounted price in addition to an administration fee of 25 GBP.
5.1 You will have the opportunity to purchase local tours or excursions from your Guide. These tours and excursions are run by local operators and you will be subject to their terms and conditions.
5.2 Local tours and excursions purchased via Guides/Check-In staff are non-refundable. It is your responsibility to meet the tour at the designated departure point and time. Travel will only be permitted on presentation of the issued voucher to the named operator.

Bach with a Gallic Twist
By Ken Herman | February 22, 2014 | 1
Christophe Mantoux [photo courtesy of the performer]
Acclaimed French organist Christophe Mantoux returned to the recital series at All Souls' Episcopal Church in Point Loma on Sunday (Feb. 16) to play a recital devoted to the music of J. S. Bach. Touching on almost every important Baroque genre that Bach championed–partita, prelude and fugue, fantasia, sonata, and chorale prelude–Mantoux offered an unusually high standard of contemporary 18th-century performance practice combined with his own intuitive affinity for the style.
This essay will pursue an unusual format that juxtaposes my review with the performer's musicological observations shared in a post-performance interview. Mantoux opened his Bach survey with the Partita on the German chorale "Christ, der du bist der helle Tag," BWV 766. Since a variation cycle is the perfect vehicle for displaying an organ's varied colors, Mantoux used it to highlight the many bright and piquant reed sounds found on the church's Fritts-Richards three-manual tracker organ.
After the performance, Mantoux admitted that this partita may have been intended for harpsichord rather than organ, since it is written only for the manuals, and this chorale was one that would have been sung in the domestic devotions typical of a pious Lutheran household in Saxony at that time. In that light, it was understandable that Mantoux chose a slow, devotional tempo for the partita, in line with the very deliberate tempos at which German hymns were sung.
For the Trio Sonata in C Major, BWV 529, Mantoux chose lively tempos for the outer movements in line with their more progressive galant style, that slightly frivolous, decidedly non-contrapuntal musical trend that made the Leipzig master's own complex style anathema to the younger generation, including Bach's own composer sons. That the elder Bach was capable of absorbing the new style into some of his compositions makes him difficult to classify from a historical point of view, according to Mantoux.[php snippet=1]
"You can make a case for Bach as the last Renaissance contrapuntalist, or the synthesizer of Baroque styles, or a modernist, or as the precursor of jazz," he said with a touch of irony. "Actually, Bach was the most singular of all the great composers of his day. Take, for example, the now well-known triadic theme of 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring' (as the aria is known in English-speaking countries). What other composer from his era wrote such a memorable, triadic theme?"
Mantoux used the infrequently programmed Fantasia and Fugue in C Minor, BWV 537, as a vehicle to demonstrate how Bach wrote in a natural crescendo by gradually making the musical texture thicker, since the organs of that era did not have enclosed divisions with swell shades and other mechanical devises to increase volume. Mantoux's elegant phrasing kept the musical ideas cleanly defined throughout.
Perhaps the most familiar Bach offering on the recital was the Prelude on the Advent Chorale "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland," BWV 659, which Mantoux took at a languorous tempo, stretching out the dense ornamentation of its melismatic solo line. When asked to explain his approach to this particular chorale prelude, Mantoux invoked his native preference for letting his registration, or choice of colors found in the instrument, dictate the tempo and stylistic inflection.
"Letting the particular color or timbre drive the music is a particularly French trait," he explained. "This is not just true of French organ music—think of Ravel and Debussy. Their music would be unthinkable without the highly specific, identifying orchestral colors, whereas Germanic music is less tied to orchestration and more driven by thematic development. The particular orchestral colors of a Schumann Symphony, for example, are not essential to the definition of the music."
Bach is unquestionably part of the Germanic tradition, but he did have an early French connection that Mantoux believes shaped his writing. "When Bach was a teen-ager studying in Lüneburg, he absorbed the Francophile culture of that city. He had access to the resources of the French-speaking ducal court and library in nearby Celle, and there he discovered French music, copying by hand scores by Nicolas De Grigny to learn the French style. It is of no small consequence that Bach was drawn to this music, even though there were no music histories around to point out how monumental this composer was."
Perhaps it takes a Frenchman to find French influences in Bach's organ music, but the Gallic imprint in unmistakable in Bach's secular harpsichord music and his four elaborate orchestral Overtures or Suites.
Monteux saved his panache for the Prelude and Fugue in A Minor with which he closed his recital. A big-shouldered prelude with a fugue driven by a rambunctious subject, it was an ideal choice to unleash the grandeur of the Fritts-Richards instrument. Perhaps because Monteux is the regular organist at the Paris church of Saint-Séverin, an authentically late gothic building, his performance of this Prelude and Fugue transcended the modest dimensions of the Point Loma contemporary edifice and gave the listener the sensation of hearing this work in a much vaster and resonant structure.
As health-conscious as any Californian, Monteux attends his daily exercise, but with a unique musicological twist. While pursuing his morning ride on a stationary bicycle, he methodically listens to a different Bach cantata each day. With over 200 extant cantatas and several complete cycles done by different conductors, he can go for years without repeating a recording.
Maybe my next writing project should be "Why French Performers Never Gain Weight."
[box] This recital was given at All Souls' Episcopal Church, 1475 Catalina Ave., San Diego, CA, as part of Music on the Point, a series sponsored by the Betty Gouraud Music Endowment. The series' next program will be a recital on March 16, 2014, at 4:00 p.m. by Prof. Robert Bates of The University of Houston.[/box]

Thanks so much for a pleasurable retrospective on a very pleasurable recital. Floating in the luxury of JSB, I still count the Buxtehude a favorite among all his offerings. His registrations were gorgeous, especially the full chorus at the end. But then, the Fritts Richards is my very favorite organ.
Return soon, Christophe Mantoux!

CMiC Donates $400,000 in Scholarships for the ACE Mentor Program of America
Computer Methods International Inc. (CMiC)
The CMiC-Allen Berg Memorial Scholarship grant will support 23 students as they pursue post-secondary programs in architecture, engineering and construction
TORONTO, May 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - CMiC — the most complete ERP and field operations software platform for construction management — has distributed a total of $400,000 in scholarships to 23 high school students across 23 states. In its 2nd year, the CMiC-Allen Berg Memorial Scholarships were presented in partnership with the ACE Mentor Program of America. "The scholarships are a real 'career booster' for some of the most talented and promising of our thousands of students," said ACE's president Diana Eidenshink. "Many of them come from families with limited means. Some scholarship winners are the first in their family to attend college. We expect them to be industry standouts during their careers."
The grant was established back in 2018 in memory of late CMiC founder, Allen S. Berg. The spirit of the grant is to preserve and extend Mr. Berg's rich legacy. "Allen was a lifelong learner, devoted to educational and community causes," says Judith Berg, Chairwoman of the CMiC Board of Directors. "This scholarship in his memory will carry on his legacy as an advocate for equal opportunities to drive positive change in the world."
Scholarship recipients were selected on the basis of merit and financial need. This fall, they will enroll in accredited college programs in architecture, construction, interior design and engineering. Winners were notified this year via a Zoom video conference announcement.
"We congratulate the exceptional students who were awarded this year's scholarships," says Jeff Weiss, Chief Revenue Officer at CMiC. "We look forward to following their journeys and successes as they grow into professionals in the AEC industry."
The scholarships are a part of CMiC's broader commitment to corporate social responsibility. Another initiative, the 'Ready, Set, Build!' program, aims to connect the company's core competencies in construction with a social need in the community through a partnership with Building Up, Toronto's leading social contractor.

Chances are you haven't put much thought into your current website hosting arrangement. Whether you built your website on your own, had assistance from a marketing agency, or just left it to your IT department, your site likely ended up at a budget website host because that seemed like the best option at the time. With many hosting packages costing around $5 a month, why pay more? As the old adage goes, "you get what you pay for," and there are reasons today for why a more robust and higher-priced hosting package may be required for your website.
To be clear, the website host is where your actual website files live, whether it's a static site or a content management system like WordPress. This is often different from the domain registrar, which is where your domain name (such as crownpointsolutions.com) is registered and managed. Sometimes, the registrar and the hosting provider can be the same, as GoDaddy or Network Solutions register domains and also provide web hosting. Additionally, email services are often packaged with web hosting, though email can be handled separately depending on the needs of your company.
Most website hosting companies, such as Lunarpages and HostGator, offer basic, budget hosting packages for less than $10/month with a basic level of support. These types of hosting plans are tailored for small businesses and startups, and may not necessarily be suitable for the longer-term life cycle of a business. While hosts can be generous with disk space and bandwidth, they are stingy with system resources such as RAM and CPU usage. Budget packages by nature share a server with many other accounts, so if one account uses too many server resources, the hosting provider will often shut an account down until the problem is resolved, sometimes without any prior notice to the customer.
This is more of a problem today due to the large amount of content management systems (CMS) in use, most notably open source platforms like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. Three resource-consuming factors involved are CMS plug-ins, hacking attempts to your site, and in some cases, hacking attempts that have succeeded. A simple WordPress site may only have a few plug-ins, but often have 10 or more, which add various features such as slideshows and contact forms. Plug-ins are created by different developers of different skill levels, so they vary in cost, quality, efficiency, and security. Each plug-in uses server memory resources, so after a certain point, the budget hosting account runs out of allocated memory and automatically stops showing content.
Hacking attempts also consume server resources. One common example is a "brute force" login attack where a hacker repeatedly tries different username/password combinations to try to break into the admin section of the website. When this occurs, a host may require adding a Captcha or hiding the standard login URL. While these can save server resources used by hacking attempts, the extra plug-ins also use more server resources.
Not surprisingly, successfully hacked websites can use up even more server resources. While some hackers deface the homepage or add links to dubious websites, many prefer to quietly use the hacked account to run programs in the background, such as to send email spam, distribute malware, or to launch hacking attempts at other websites. In addition to increasing the server load, these hacks can even affect the reputation of your domain and your business causing other problems that may be difficult to resolve. Many website hosting companies scan for known malware files or spam, so they may catch these problems, and if so, shut down the website until it's fixed. With a CMS, that sometimes means rebuilding the website files and looking closely at the database for exploits. If there isn't a clean, current backup to return to, that can be a time-consuming, expensive process. We recommend having current backups of your website at least once a month, if not more, depending on how often the website is updated.
For a CMS like WordPress, it's increasingly difficult to provide adequate security with a budget host. To have a full-featured website with extra security measures means you will need a more robust hosting environment. One of the challenges is that most hosting companies don't offer options between an inexpensive package and a more-expensive, scalable cloud hosting package such as a virtual private server (or VPS).
To help remedy this and give customers a mid-range option, vendors like Crown Point Solutions are offering managed web hosting environments that can scale to meet the needs of your website, including those websites that need a little more than a budget host can provide. Ongoing services such as traffic and resource monitoring, maintenance, software updates, backup and recovery are also available.
If you'd like more information on web hosting options or if you have any website security concerns, please contact us via phone or email and we'll help you through the decision-making process.

Evening Landscape
Oil on canvas mounted on cardboard.
Inv. no.
Full size image Download image View in virtual tour Print page
In April 1885, while concentrating on the series devoted to the Potato Eaters, a tribute to the country folk of Brabant, Van Gogh wrote to his brother, "I am also working on a red sunset." Similarly, that same August he mentions among his most recent paintings "an evening effect after sunset." Some authors have identified this sunset with the landscape belonging to a Swiss private collection, but it could also be the painting in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza.
As in the portraits of country folk eating in a shadowy room, this landscape, which is almost nocturnal, allows Van Gogh to paint the darkness he so admired in seventeenth-century Netherlandish painting. In this first Dutch period which preceded his move to Paris, where his palette became more luminous and colourful owing to the influence of the new artistic trends that successively emerged around him, Van Gogh's style is characterised by a realism with strong tenebrist undertones.

You always expect the most from the places you love, and that sure applies to me when it comes to Chili's.
We started with the Chipotle Mexican Salad Bowl, it was actually very good and refreshing, the ingredients complimenting each other except maybe for that avocado piece on top of it, that wasn't touched by the marination… fresh avocado… yet lonely avocado… sad avocado… Probably put their for the sake of making the dish sound rich… It honestly didn't need it, unless it's cut and mixed with the whole salad.
Curiously we both loved the Old Timer Burger… why curiously? Well, to be completely honest, my reason for liking it is quite futile, but I don't care, we are mourning the avocados, so I'll just go on and say it: It tastes EXACTLY like the regular cheese burger from McDonalds (that you end in merely two bites) but it's a GIANT version of it.


The Tooth and Nothing But: Oy. As it turns out, Abq Jew will be visiting his favorite dentist this afternoon, and expects to return home minus one hopeless prognosis tooth. Oy. And after the novocaine wears off, who knows if posting a blog will be a good idea?
So here is a simple story - an old Yiddish folk tale - that may have some bearing on the times in which we are fortunate to live.
Jared and Ivanka (names randomly chosen) lived in a tiny shtetl in - where else? - Russia, a land they all loved, even (some say especially) before the Revolution.
Ivanka's father, who just happened to live next door to the happy couple (Ivanka's parents had been divorced for years) dropped by one Friday morning and asked to borrow Ivanka's cholent pot for Shabbos.
What could Ivanka do? She and Jared and the kids (did I mention the kids?) would be spending Shabbos with their friends in the shtetl three down and one across. So Ivanka gave her father the cholent pot, so he could have hot food for Shabbos.
"Be careful with this, Papa," Ivanka said. "It's the only cholent pot we've got, and we can't afford another."
Shabbos came, and Shabbos went.
On Sunday afternoon, Ivanka's father stopped by to return the cholent pot he had borrowed.
"Papa, the handle has broken off and the pot is cracked!" Ivanka exclaimed. "And I asked you to be especially careful with it! Now what will we do?"
"Before you blame me," said Ivanka's father, "there are three things I must tell you in my defense."
"First - I never borrowed your cholent pot."
"Second - I have returned the cholent pot in good condition, just as when I borrowed it."
"Third - the cholent pot was broken when you lent it to me."
And for those of you, Abq Jew's loyal readers, who were unable to attend Nikitov's Santa Fe performance - here is an encore from their 2004 album, Amulet.
Two-thirds of the hopeless prognosis tooth were removed on Tuesday, and the final third was removed on Thursday. Don't ask; you really don't want to know.

Health reviews could save cash in North East
A nursing union has issued a warning shot to cash-strapped North East councils not to spend funds vital for healthcare on budget shortfalls.
Updated 11:12, 7 OCT 2013
Estephanie Dunn, operations manager of the Royal College of Nursing on the right of photo. Seen here meeting with staff at St Oswald's Hospice in Gosforth in May 2013
The call from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) comes as many NHS contracts in the region are due to end in March, 2014, with plans and reviews underway to decide who will provide health sessions for residents.
Services including sexual health, school nursing, smoking cessation, weight management and healthy schools are included in the reviews.
This April, as part of central government's Health and Social Care Act 2012, control of public health funds was handed from the NHS to local councils with Gateshead getting a budget of more than £15m to provide health service for 2013/14 and North Tyneside Council around £10m.
With contracts for 2014/15 being reviewed the RCN doesn't want any potential savings used for other services.
RCN's operational manager Estephanie Dunn said: "Local authorities are being forced to take incredibly difficult decisions on which services they cut and down size.
"If these reviews lead to financial savings we would expect to see that money reinvested in public health services and not used to shore up funding shortfalls elsewhere."

Vault "Explosion" Prompts Evacuations at Westside Pavilion Mall
The mall reopened Sunday afternoon.

Pavilion Explosion Determined to be Likely Cigarette Fire in Vent
//www.nbclosangeles.com/on-air/as-seen-on/Pavilion-Explosion-Determined-to-be-Cigarette-Fire-in-Vent_Los-Angeles-343414762.html
The Westside Pavilion mall was closed after reports of a possible electrical vault explosion on Sunday, dampening mall-goers plans. Jane Yamamoto reports for the NBC4 News at 9. (Published Monday, Nov. 9, 2015)
What was first reported as a possible underground electrical vault explosion that forced the temporary closure of the Westside Pavilion in West Los Angeles Sunday was classified later as something as simple as leaves being set on fire by a discarded cigarette, the Department of Water and Power said.
Firefighters and the Department of Water and Power responded to reports of smoke coming out of a manhole cover near Pico and Westwood boulevards around 9 a.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department said.
The Landmark Theater was evacuated after authorities shut off the power.
The Westside Pavilion was also evacuated but reopened shortly after 1:30 p.m., according to a tweet posted by the shopping mall.

Power was shut down for 25 services near the area as crews worked on vault repairs, the DWP said.
The mall reopened at 1:30 p.m., but mall-goers were asked to avoid the Pico Boulevard entrance.
Power was fully restored at 6 p.m., and no one was injured.

This works perfectly fine, as it gets updated in the database as well but when I refresh the page, the function is initialised. I only want it when I click on the button. but it gets changed when I refresh. what do I do? Here is the main.html

<button type="button" ng-click="userhold_payment();" ng-if="userhold.is_hold_payment == 0" class="btn-success btn-lg hold_payment_html" style="margin-top:7px; font-size:16px">Hold Payment</button>
<button type="button" ng-click="userhold_payment();" ng-if="userhold.is_hold_payment == 1" class="btn-danger btn-lg hold_payment_html" style="margin-top:7px; font-size:16px">Unhold Payment</button>

A: Remove
ng-init="userhold_payment()"

this cause the function to fire when you refresh
to fix your code use this:

<button type="button" ng-click="userhold_payment();" ng-class="btn-success btn-lg hold_payment_html" style="margin-top:7px; font-size:16px">Refresh userhold</button>

<button type="button" ng-click="userhold_payment();" ng-if="userhold && userhold.is_hold_payment && userhold.is_hold_payment == 0" class="btn-success btn-lg hold_payment_html" style="margin-top:7px; font-size:16px">Hold Payment</button>
<button type="button" ng-click="userhold_payment();" ng-if="userhold && userhold.is_hold_payment && userhold.is_hold_payment == 1" class="btn-danger btn-lg hold_payment_html" style="margin-top:7px; font-size:16px">Unhold Payment</button>

A: As Arno stated and the docs describe ngInit evaluates (runs) the function on the page load, and you should remove it.

LUCKNOW: An FIR was lodged against UP Shia Waqf Board chairman Waseem Rizvi for hurting religious sentiments after he allegedly made some statements against the Caliphs of the Muslim community.
In the complaint, the Sahaba Action Committee claimed that Rizvi had offended the members of Sunni sect of Islam by his remarks over their Caliphs.
"Waseem Rizvi has been making derogatory remarks about Sunni community and Caliphs for quite some time. So, after proper consultation, we decided to file a complaint against him. Thousands of people have gathered to protest and are demanding that National Security Act be slapped on Rizvi," Sahaba Action Committee president Maulana Abdul Wahid Farooqui said.
Following the FIR against Rizvi, thousands of Sunnis took out a protest march in old city areas of Lucknow demanding his arrest within 24 hours.
Meanwhile, reacting to the FIR filed against him, Rizvi called it the desperation and frustration of Muslim litigants in the vexed Ayodhya case.
"I have just called spade a spade. Those who have field FIR consider the extremist forces their Caliphs, they should migrate to Afghanistan and Syria," he said, adding that he would not succumb to Wahabi forces and took vow to continue his struggle for Ram temple.
Rizvi said he had already got his grave dug as sections of Muslims were out to eliminate him. He lamented that the level of security he had demanded was not provided to him.
"I may be killed through mob lynching, or by the bullets of extremist forces in Islam, or I may be sent to jail, but I shall not stop favouring a Ram temple in Ayodhya as it is the right of majority Hindus," he maintained.
The Shia Waqf Board chairman alleged that his words were being twisted to malign his image.
"I have only spoken about Abu-Baqr Al Baghdadi of Islamic State and Mullah Mohammed Omar of Taliban. These are concerted efforts to malign my image," Rizvi claimed.


There was some nervousness in the Foreign Office when it was announced that Boris Johnson had been made foreign secretary.
Part of Johnson's new role involves overseeing MI6. This is a highly sensitive and delicate task which some within his department worry he is unsuited for.
It now appears there is good reason for them to feel uneasy.
On the front page of the magazine, Johnson splashed the headline "Who was Smallbrow?" Inside, Boris published an article naming Agent Smallbrow as then Sunday Telegraph editor Dominic Lawson.
The allegation was based on a controversial book by renegade spy Richard Tomlinson which had been published in Russia. Tomlinson claimed that Lawson had provided cover for MI6 agents working in Eastern Europe.
Lawson, who denies ever having been an agent, was furious. He told Johnson's biographer Sonia Purnell that the former mayor had put the lives of journalists at risk.
"He knew me, we were friendly - it was intensely annoying. And apart from anything else, if you're running a newspaper with foreign correspondents in strange parts of the world, as I was then, it's potentially a physical threat to them if it's believed that they're working for British intelligence. You can imagine how angry I was."
"I rang him up, but there was just this sense of "Never mind, Dommers, I just did it for a laugh. And the thing about Boris is that because in some strange way he is adorable, one forgives him. It's not just women; men too fall for that charm."
Johnson's responsibilities as foreign secretary appear to have been significantly diminished from his predecessors, with responsibility for Brexit negotiations and future trade deals passed to other departments by Theresa May.
A piece by Adam Boulton in this week's Sunday Times also claimed that responsibility for MI6 was "being quietly shifted to the prime minister and National Security Council".
However, the Foreign Office strongly denied this yesterday, telling Politics.co.uk that there were no plans to strip the department of responsibility for the secret service.
"As has been long standing practice, responsibility for SIS and GCHQ lies with the foreign secretary. This has not changed and will not change," a spokesperson said.
