Brian R. Smith, CFP®, CRPC®, AIF® earns Certified Business Exit Consultant® Designation
BIRMINGHAM, AL (July 18, 2018) – Pinnacle Equity Solutions Inc. is pleased to announce that Brian R. Smith recently earned the Certified Business Exit Consultant® designation from Pinnacle Equity Solutions, Inc. The Certified Business Exit Consultant® designation is a significant achievement and further establishes Brian R. Smith as an exit planner in the marketplace today.
About the CBEC® designation
The CBEC® designation offered through Pinnacle Equity Solutions, Inc. is highly regarded exit planning designation. Out of all the senior-level, professional advisors who are in the process of seeking the designation, less than fifty percent (50%) have satisfied the stringent requirements to be granted the mark. The coursework, the examination, as well as the submission of a suitable exit plan with an actual business owner, most-often make the entire process of achieving the CBEC® mark a multi-year endeavor.
To receive the CBEC® designation, Brian R. Smith completed the course's extensive education and training program that required 20+ hours of pre-course study, 32 hours of leading edge curriculum taught by top expert instructors in their respective fields, and included content from a first-of-its-kind MBA class on the ground-breaking field of 'private finance'. Brian R. Smith then demonstrated mastery of the curriculum through the successful completion of a rigorous final examination as well as the delivery of a comprehensive exit plan to a business owner, including peer review and a formal interview regarding the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the planning process delivered to that owner(s).
In all Brian R. Smith achieved a significant level of distinction, demonstrating mastery of the exit planning process including the delivery of solutions that assist business owners with the largest financial and emotional transaction of their lives.
About Exit Planning
There are currently over ten million baby boomer business owners in the United States and the majority of these owners will be exiting their business in the next five to ten years. Since 2010, CBEC® holders have been uniquely qualified and positioned to provide exit planning advice and support to these business owners and assist with this complex need.
The quality and the brand of Pinnacle's CBEC® designation demands the highest educational standards. Pinnacle holds graduates to these high standards to ensure that any advisor in the marketplace with the CBEC® designation has not only completed their extensive Certification course and pre-work, but has also actually taken an owner through this process and delivered the caliber of solution that Pinnacle expects from their advisors. A commitment to continuing education to keep abreast of changes in the business owner marketplace is also a part of the CBEC® designation.
The complexity of this emerging field of exit planning requires that Certified Business Exit Consultant® graduates not only learn the material, but are also well-equipped to go out into the marketplace and deliver exit planning services to exiting owners. In addition to the initial training, the CBEC® Designation opens up a wealth of resources to the advisor, allowing for an unprecedented level of support to business owners. The CBEC® advisor has exclusive access to an international network of elite practitioners capable of providing subject matter expertise and any necessary referrals, including to mergers and acquisitions advisors who understand and integrate into the CBEC® exit planning process to assist business owners seeking a successful 'external sale' transaction.
Ongoing remote and live trainings, as well as national conferences, ensure the CBEC® holder stays abreast of industry changes and connected with the network. And proprietary software tools assist the CBEC® holder in providing an accurate and insightful analysis of a business owner's needs. Finally, there a vast library of educational content facilitates business owners' understanding of issues across a wide array of topics critical to a successful exit. The CBEC® designation is designed to deliver this combination of training and skills through our rigorous curriculum, live practice management training and ongoing support.
So, it is with great honor that Pinnacle Equity Solutions, Inc. as well as the Certified Business Exit Consultant committee recognize Brian R. Smith with the significant achievement of attaining this coveted mark of distinction.

Banks & Steelz "Love + War" (ft. Ghostface Killah) (video)
By Sarah Murphy
Just yesterday (May 19), we were introduced to a new project from Interpol's Paul Banks and Wu-Tang's RZA. Now, the duo dubbed Banks & Steelz have offered up some visual accompaniment to their first single "Love + War."
The track gets a feature from Ghostface Killah, and the elaborate video gives the viewer a quick lesson in cinema history, channelling Quentin Tarantino's 1992 classic Reservoir Dogs.
Details on the pair's debut album have yet to be released, but "Love + War" is sure to amp up the anticipation. Watch its grisly music video in the player below.

The Astros gave it a good shot but they fell in 11 innings thanks to a 3 run dinger by damian miller. I know we get our shot at them this weekend but it is a little disheartening that we have won our last 6, but only gained 1 game in that time. I don't know if anyone is paying attention yet, but we are 5.5 games out of the wild card and actually making ground up nearly every day. Some of you may say it's far too early to look at the wild card standings. For me it is never ever too early to be watching the standings. We need to go 6-4 to be 1 game over .500 at the all-star break. Now this is very doable and I will be quite dissappointed if they do not accomplish this. We need 2 out of 3 from the Brewers and then a winning road trip to keep this thing going.
That has been the most frustrating! We are playing what was expected of this team all along...and can't gain any ground. Earlier this year, the excuse "it's early" was used.... and now look how huge those losses are costing us now! There is still time, but jeez.... if we could turn back time.
The Brewers are playing great baseball. I think they are the best team in the NL. They are solid at every position on the field. They have veteran back ups that are all good players. Their bullpen is a shade under the Padres, but really close. Their starting pitching, with this guy we will see Friday, is good as well. The guy we are seeing Friday was rated as the top pitching prospect in all of baseball a few weeks ago. He has had 2 good starts so far. Sheets is an ace and Capuano, Suppan, Bush and Vargas are all good in their own right. I assume the new guy, Guardado, or Bush will go to the pen when Capuano gets back. They really have no holes, except defensively- Estrada, Fielder, and Hall in CF are very average.
But didn't the Cubs win today to put the streak at 6?
They are not even the top 3 in the NL. Trust me I get all the Brewers games here and while they are good, they are very young team (that doesn't mean a whole lot to them right now ) that had a pretty darn bad slump for over a month. Also, I want everyone to check who's the best against the central. The Mets, Dodgers and Padres are all better teams than the Brewers (Not in record of course), I'm talking veteran teams that know how to play down the stretch in brutally hot weather and have a history of winning as a team. The Brewers have not made the playoffs since 1992.
I think the Cubs just need to keep playing with the same sense of urgency which they've displayed the last week or so. Not desperation, but urgency. I love the way the responded after blowing that lead Monday night. While blowing five run leads isn't something I want to see ever again, not many teams would have responded the way the Cubs did that night. And they carried it over into victories the next two games. We're starting to see the team we expected to see, so I think the ceiling is high. While it would have been great to pick up some more games on the Brewers, the Cubs have a great opportunity to do just that this weekend.
I hope your right Neifi, but in my opinion they have the best make up of any team. The Mets look better on paper but I think their starting pitching is suspect, not to mention Delgado and his start. The Padres and Dodgers do not have anywhere near the offense that the Brewers have. They are young - that is one thing going against them. They are short a LH in the pen. Thats it. No Holes anywhere. Every position- good player.
The Brewers have not made the playoffs since 1992.
And the Cubs haven't won the world series since 1908. Streaks, good or bad, come to an end (hopefully). Yes the Brewers are a young team, but they are a very good young team. Am I saying they are going to win the division? No. But they have a very good chance of it. They are 30-13 at home. No other team in the central is even at .500 at home. If they keep that trend up, they will be in the hunt until the end. And making the plyaoffs is all that matters. Like the Cards proved last year, you don't have to be the best team in the playoffs to win, you just have to get hot at the right time. I just hope the Brewers cool off.
Do you realize that the Brewers have 8 players with as many if not more HRs than DLee.


On the occasion of the Canonisation of Mother Teresa on 4th September 2016, Dr. Sujit Brahmochary, founder of IIMC, recalls his time meeting and working with Mother Teresa in Calcutta prior to setting up this charity, Institute for Mother & Child.
Founder and director of the Institute for Indian Mother and Child, Dr Sujit Brahmochary, seen in the early days of IIMC with his wife Barnali and Mother Teresa of Calcutta, his mentor and former employer.
During his time as a medical student Dr Sujit was a volunteer at Mother House. Some years later, after obtaining his medical degree and working as a pediatrician in Belgium, Dr. Sujit felt that he was being called to return to India. Through his Belgium friend, Fr. Van Exem he was introduced to Mother Teresa who invited him to work with her. He became chief medical officer of the children's home, Shishu Bhawan.
Dr Sujit worked with Mother Teresa for two years. Dr. Sujit says that he gained so much from her inspiration and affection which he will always treasure. He remembers that she had a very special power and charisma. As well as giving time to the sick and suffering, she would make time for all who worked with her and everyone was comfortable in her company.
One day after two years of his association with the Missionaries of Charity, Mother Teresa directed him towards working on a mission of his own.
She told him, " Dr. Sujit, now start your own mission. You need to work in many other places, for many more poor and sick children.
Mother Teresa inspired Dr. Sujit to branch out on his own and he eventually set up the Institution for the Indian Mother and Child. These are the words in a letter she wrote to him when he left.
The great influence which Mother Teresa had, and continues to have on Dr. Sujit is manifest in his enthusiasm for following her example in caring for the most vulnerable in society.
Dr. Sujit concludes by stressing how Mother Teresa's lifestyle showed others the way that they could live and work, and that her company and influence would enable and inspire others to take on responsibilities and work together for improving the needs of the poor.

Home Blog Salazar builds lead in 3rd Congressional District race
Salazar builds lead in 3rd Congressional District race
Scot Kersgaard
A poll conducted earlier this week shows incumbent Democrat John Salazar increasing his lead in the sprawling, largely rural 3rd Congressional District that encompasses much of southern and western Colorado.
The poll, conducted by Anzalone Liszt Research for Salazar, has Salazar leading Republican Scott Tipton 46 percent to 38 percent. Independent Jake Segrest is polling 7 percent, with 9 percent still undecided.
"What is interesting is that the Tea Party candidate Jake Segrest is gaining ground," said Salazar communications director Tara Trujillo. "He has a stronger base of support from the Tea Party than most probably assumed."
Segrest said he had been hoping for more than 7 percent support. "The media campaigns the other guys are running is just out of my league," he said.
He said he is running primarily because of economic issues and that he doesn't care if he gets enough support to cost Tipton the race. "The way I see it there is not a bit of difference between them," he said. "They are both at the same trough; the only difference is who's feeding them."
It's interesting that when people were asked if they were more likely to vote Democrat or Republican in the Congressional race, they said Republican by a 47-37 margin, even though when asked later who they would vote for, the Democrat, Salazar, was up by 8 points. If Segrest dropped out, those planning to vote for him would split evenly between Tipton and Salazar, according to the poll.
Salazar is viewed favorably by 51 percent in the District, compared with 40 percent for Tipton and 45 percent for President Obama.
Of those people supporting Tipton or Segrest, 14 percent indicated they may change their mind before the election.
Forty-six percent said they felt like "John Salazar is one of us," while an identical number said being in Washington has changed Salazar. Forty-three percent said they viewed Salazar as a moderate.
People in the District favor Republican Ken Buck for U.S. Senate by a 46-42 margin over Democrat incumbent Michael Bennet.
Thirty percent of those polled claimed to be Democrats, with the same number claiming to be Republicans. Twenty percent said they were independents. Seventy-six percent of those polled said they plan to vote early, with 56 percent saying they will vote by mail.

Q: Running PHP script constantly in background I have created a PHP file that contains an infinite loop that does certain checks and acts if variables change (what's inside the script is probably not very important for my question). I want the service to always run, untill I tell it to stop. After some searching I decided to be using nohup for this task. However, the downside of nohup is that I can't really monitor if the service is down (other than manually running ps -aux and looking for the process).
I've also read things about supervisord, which also sounded pretty good, but I'm kind of lost and don't really know what the best solution is. I want the PHP script to automatically start on reboots and I want the service to check if the script is still running, if not, I want it to reboot/alert so I can check what's up.
Should I be using either nohup or supervisord? Or do you guys recommend something totally different? It would be great if I could run the service inside a docker container where I can simply add the execution of the service inside the Dockerfile.

A: Sounds like you're better off just using good'ol CRON.
You can configure any script to run at whatever interval though I would not recommend running it continuously, maybe have it run every 5 minutes. So something like this:
*/5 * * * * php /path/to/php/file >/dev/null 2>&1

So you can learn more about CRON: https://linuxman.co/linux-server/cron-a-nosedive-into-lazy-sysadmin/

For thirty years, too, there was a succession of famous vocalists. Mary Anne Falkner, the pretty ballad singer, who fascinated half the young men of the middle century; Tommy Lowe, the tenor, whose warblings were for many seasons one of the attractions of Vauxhall, and Mrs. Vincent, who sang "Let the Merry Bells go Round," to the accompaniment of "a new instrument called the tintinnabula "; Charles Bannister gave his 'popular imitations of other well-known singers, anticipating a favourite entertainment of our own variety theatre; Nan Catley, the prima donna from Covent Garden; Defesch, the famous violinist; Dibdin, of Drury Lane; the fresh full voices of "the young gentlemen from St. Paul's choir," and scores of others, made the groves of Marylebone melodious for two generations.
The great Handel himself was often in the gardens listening to the performances of his own cantatas, and Dr. Arne was to be seen conducting his own glees, with a visage "like two oysters in a plate of beet-root," as Mr. Sheridan unkindly recorded in describing the Doctor's eyes and complexion. Harmony and decorum were the features of Marylebone Gardens at its prime, broken rarely by a quarrel under the trees, or the rudeness of a royal visitor like the burly Duke of Cumberland.
Marylebone, to be sure, was an Arcadia under the presidency of such a genius as this. It was, in fact, a place where the gentry who had country houses in the village hard by could send their children and their nursemaids in the summer days and evenings without fear of untoward molestation, and where they themselves could, and indeed often did, take their breakfast under the planes in the sun and the gentle breezes of the hayfields with which the gardens were surrounded.
Moved by this very Johnsonian eloquence, some young men broke the lamps; but the respective centres of the different pieces remained untouched, and the uninjured cores still refused to do their offices. Such troubles, however, were rare at Marylebone, and its decorous joys, its harmonious concerts, its simple banquets of syllabubs and negus, of coffee and plumcake, are the theme of a score of kindly allusions in the memoirs and diaries of the past.
Its groves and its great room, its latticed arb ours and its fine company are reflected in the fine engraving published by J. Tinney in 1755, and many knowing connoisseurs contend that its simple beauty inspired the lovely painting by George Morland called the" Tea Garden," the plate after which by Smith is now one of the prizes of the sale rooms. We have described at some length these three old places of amusement, because they are, as we believe, typical specimens of the very numerous class of similar establishments, usually of smaller extent and fewer pretensions, but still having each its own special attraction for a special body of patrons, and each with a record of prosperity, fleeting often, but real at one stage or other of its career.
There was often a prodigious competition between neighbouring establishments. Islington Spa, for example, had an enterprising competitor at its very gates in the London Spa, a name gi ven to a spring discovered in a tavern garden on a spot marked now by the junction of Exmouth Street and Rosoman Street. This institution was advertised by its proprietor, Mr. Halhead, as as good, if not better, than the opposition affair over the way "so mightily cry'd up." He produced something in the shape of a garden, and London Spa became famous as a rendezvous of milkmaids on May day. His "chalybeate," when brewed, made ale of a surpassing richness, with which the pleasure-seekers of the Welch Fair in the adjoining Spa Fields were accustomed to wash down the orthodox dish of roast pork eaten at those merry-makings in pleasant derision of the Jews. Within a hundred yards of the London Spa were the New Wells, with a reputation from quite early times for a quasi theatrical and spectacular entertainment.

The London Clinic launches specialist centre for robotics
Harley Street private hospital launches specialist centre for robotic surgery
The London Clinic Centre for Robotics is the first facility of its kind in the UK
The London Clinic in Harley Street is the first UK private hospital to launch a specialist centre for robotic surgery after also being the first private hospital to undertake robotic surgery in 2005
The centre is made up of world-leading robotics surgeons, anaesthetists and a specialised nursing team with the aim of delivering the best-possible and innovative surgery for patients, while also sharing expertise about robotic surgery for the wider healthcare community
The centre supports cross-specialty surgery including urology, orthopaedics, hepatobiliary, colorectal, ENT and gynaecology with supporting services such as on-site pathology laboratories, 3T MRI, CT scanners and pain control
The centre aims to improve outcomes for patients in a number of specialty areas
The London Clinic is the first private hospital in the UK to launch a specialist robotics centre.
Called The London Clinic Centre for Robotics; it has been created to support consultants to deliver the best-possible surgical outcomes for patients in varied specialty areas such as urology, orthopaedics, gastrointestinal, colorectal, ENT and gynaecology.
The key aims for the centre are:
To deliver precision, high-quality surgery for patients
To use a multi-disciplinary approach
To commission new technologies
To share outcomes within the wider healthcare community
To train the next generation of robotic surgeons
To encourage internal audit and good clinical governance
The clinic was also the first to undertake robotic surgery in 2005
The London Clinic was the first private hospital in the UK to trial and offer robotic surgery to patients with prostate cancer using the da Vinci Surgical System in 2005.
And last year it added a second robot - the NAVIO - for precision knee surgery.
"The London Clinic's leadership team is committed to supporting our consultants and working with them in partnership to ensure we remain at the frontline of robotics," says Al Russell, chief executive of The London Clinic.
"Our hospital was the first private hospital in the UK to offer robotic surgery to patients in 2005 and now many other hospitals have followed this example.
"This new centre is an important part of our strategic plan and a good example of The London Clinic's charitable purpose of advancing healthcare and sharing expertise.".

Hi William Peace...I am Kalyan from India. I was searching for a word for 'What disabled people use to walk'... turns out to be 'Crutches'..(My mothertongue is not English.. so I googled) And in this process I found you blog... I dont even know how you wud take it if I 'comment'... But as I am a budding film maker... I cant resist to read ur story and reply... All the best for your Book.
Kalyan. Glad you commented. Film making is a hard field. I wish you well. Why were you go ogling crutches? Interesting you arrived here.
I am developing a story idea into a screenplay in which a 10 year girl could not walk and she uses 'Crutches'... The girl has some some special abilities like she can control peoples' minds... (like hypnotizing kind).
Do you mind sharing your view abt this!
This blog is far afield from what I think you are going. But it does sound interesting. Wish I could control others.
Thank you so much for this post. I am a somewhat new reader and first-time commenter, and I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your writing. Thank you for sharing your reflections and your rage with us, and for being a voice that urges our society to do more to become more accessible - in the broadest sense of the term - and to think more critically about disability and ableism. In solidarity.
I go to your page every day. I'm not disappointed if there's no new content because I know the kind of writing that would have to be. I go to know I am not alone--that someone who writes more eloquently than me says what I can't. Thank you.

Q: Disallow access to certain page from blank or "-" referrer with .htaccess I am having some trouble with DDOS attacks lately again.
Basically I want to disallow access to a certain path.
Example from log file:

109.242.25.254 - - [23/Mar/2013:16:09:35 +0100] "GET /?op=my_account HTTP/1.1" 200 4218 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
  rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042523 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.10

So I want to disallow access from blank referrers or "-" referrers to the path "?op=my_account" and just send them to a 403 page.
I started this like this with htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www.)?mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^\?op=my_account$ - [F]

so basically I disallow all other referers to this page except my page.
but somehow this wont work.
I think I am missing something in the second line?

A: You cannot use \?op=my_account in RewriteRule, because the query string is not available there, only the URL path. You must use RewriteCond with a %{QUERY_STRING} instead
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?mysite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^op=my_account$
RewriteRule ^$ - [F]


After moisturizing and exfoliating my lips, I still found these extremely thin and drying. I absolutely love the colors, and I really wanted to love these, but my lips felt dry and stiff with these on. I do plan to try using a chapstick under them next time, but I don't want them to shift since they are not fully transferproof. It did wear long, though, so that was definitely a plus, but I wish the formula was just a little more comfortable. These are pigmented, though, because what you see is with one swipe and then another layer. Have you tried these? If so, what did you think?
What foundation are you wearing in these pictures?


This month, David and Colleen spent ten days in Indianapolis, visiting our church partners there and meeting new friends who want to get involved with Faith Ministry! It was a wonderful trip, and we loved seeing all of our Indy friends in their home state. A huge thanks to all of you who offered us your homes, your time and your resources during our trip!
Our Board of Directors was down at the border this past weekend, and we had a blast with them! They helped us pour a roof, worked in the garden in Naranjito, and enjoyed a meal of tamales together with our staff and volunteers, in addition to meeting together to discuss plans and goals for the ministry. They are a group of people dedicated to the work of Faith Ministry, and we appreciate everything they do!
We are seeing exciting progress with our skills training program! The idea of the of program follows the old saying, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Through our sewing program, we are teaching members of the community how to create beautiful and useful items for themselves and for others, including school uniforms, skirts, dresses, household linens, and more. This month, we were able to gift each member of our sewing program with their very own sewing machine, thanks to a generous donation. Now, they can practice at home and begin to create even more!
We also "christened" our woodworking shop this month with the creation of our first piece of furniture! A member of our Board of Directors spent a day training some of our staff on the carpentry equipment we have, and side-by-side they made a beautiful, sturdy bunk bed. We are excited to finally have this program off the ground, and we're looking forward to building more and to teaching others in the community these valuable woodworking skills!
Ezequiel, one of our foreman in Reynosa, is slowly getting back to work after his second eye surgery. Continue praying for his healing and overall health.
Benigno, or Benny, one of our foremen in Miguel Alemán, is experiencing health issues that give him fatigue and decreased energy. Pray for healing and restoration for Benny and for peace and comfort for his family.
Bouts of violence continue to plague the town of Miguel Alemán. Pray for the safety of our community there and for peace throughout the town.

"If you are looking for an extensive and beautiful sounding string refill for your Reason projects - don't look any further. Euphonic strings will give you all you need - and then some. Especially for this artist-friendly price it's an absolute no-brainer."
"Wonderfull ! Great strings samples ! A solid challenger to my Eastwest Quantum Platinium Symphonic Strings collection... and now directly using under our lovely Reason software ...I am a FAN of this."
The solo bass patches alone make this worth the asking price, but the sustain legato full section is terrific, tingles the back of the neck the way it's supposed to happen. I am acquiring a whole bunch of Reason orchestral and strings libraries, and this is the best, the best value Refill ever created.
Downloaded this a few days ago & I am in love with it. Everything is really usable & top notch in quality.
It's definitely better than Miroslav, better sound quality and much more detailed...it's capable of very convincing string parts.
Really great sounds, thank you! I can see how much work has gone into this refill.
The combinator patches appear to be outstanding with the utilisation of the effects and dynamics. Additionally, there are far more patches to choose from than the Orkester strings soundbank with some great layering.

Trusty Motor Boats has been saved from liquidation, after Windboats bought the rights and the moulds for the T23 and T28 models.
The range was due to be discontinued following financial problems, but Windboats stepped in to save the brand at a liquidation meeting earlier this month (1 September).
The Norfolk manufacturer had taken over construction and moulding of the Trusty collection earlier this year and began work on three models.
But production ground to a halt in August, putting the future of the range at risk and leaving two half-built boats.
Oliver James, managing director of Windboats, told MBY that he was keen to keep this range going.
"We were trying to minimise our losses and the logical thing to do was to buy the brand and the moulds so that we could continue the two boats we currently have under construction," he said.


Mary-Jo wanted to find the killer-apps of Vista, but I think I've found the killer applications for students. Regardless of educational establishment status, we have to consider multiple things in a killer-app (defined as an application which you essentially "must have"), such as open-source where possible, available across platforms, considerably save yourself time, increase productivity whether for social-downtime or performance-uptime, and most importantly - free.
Students shouldn't, and thankfully don't spend all day and night revising and studying - it would be a huge waste of money to do so, as having an effective down-time is just as important; I've reflected this in my list.
From hours of research, gallons of coffee consumed, and a quick look in Add/Remove Programs, I present the 10 killer apps of academia.
Audacity is an open-source audio editor, enabling even novice users to edit all kinds of audio file types like WAV, OGG, MP3, MIDI and more. With a simple to use interface, this application can be used for cutting down audible hyperbole from lecture recordings, aid you in your own recordings for later revision, and even knocking together podcasts if it's something you are interested in. The only downside is that it doesn't come with the LAME MP3 encoder, but with an extra download and a preferences tweak, you can convert media into MP3 format within seconds.
Free Download Manager comes in two packages – simple and small, or slightly bigger and more powerful. Either way, you still have a tremendous download manager which looks clean and simple (unlike many on the market), quick in downloading files, and even boasts a traffic limiter to conserve your bandwidth for other network activities. Import a collection of links to download or even an entire website – it seamlessly integrates into your browser so its downloading power is only a right-click away. With the amount of videos and television students download off the Internet (legal note – ZDNet and I do not endorse such activity) but this will almost definitely cut your download time by a good percentage.
Paint.NET is the best imaging software I've ever used. PhotoShop may have all these newfangled features with the ability to take 40 years off your grandmother's wrinkly face, but this has a clean design and does more than enough to satisfy most people's needs. Resize, crop, add effects, blur and manipulate layers without getting confused, as well as a comprehensive colour palette. With new features being added all the time, this is a photo editor beyond most on the market.
Firefox has been around for a good few years and is ever decreasing the gap in the market share between its rival, Internet Explorer. It's faster than IE, runs a smooth and consistent interface, and can be made portable to flash drives. If you need a plug-in, it'll find it for you and install itself. You can even write add-ins and plug-ins to expand the power of the core engine. Once you start using Firefox, there's little chance you'll want to go back to your old browser.
Every now and then, Microsoft tries to throw a student offer to entice you into buying a version of Microsoft Office. Why bother when you can use OpenOffice, which supports full compatibility in file types and document conversion? It costs absolutely nothing, and holds all the features and functionality of Microsoft Office with a sneaky application name change in each product. Word becomes Writer, Excel becomes Calc, PowerPoint becomes Impress, but that really is about it. It's free, downloadable and redistributable, and it will take the average user no more than a few application runs to get used to it.
A revolution in IPTV, the BBC iPlayer is unfortunately only open to residents and citizens of the United Kingdom, but it isn't half brilliant. You can download high-quality programmes spanning 8 channels over 7 days, but using peer-to-peer technology, it splits the downloads over different peers as to keep the downloads flowing. Even with the busy student schedule, 7 days is enough time to get round to watching something, and with the average university network speed, you can download a 60-minute programme in anything between 2 minutes and 20 minutes.
Being able to access your computer from anywhere allows you to be more independent with how you work; forget carrying around flash drives or emailing files to yourself, just remotely access your computer as if you were sitting there. I've used LogMeIn Free for many years and never had a problem. It works across browsers and uses a range of technologies to suit almost any computer; Java, ActiveX, and an optional plug-in for extra security and features. Even with some strict security settings on public machines like libraries or Internet cafés, you should still be able to use it without a hitch.
Notepad++ is a product installed on every single public PC at my University, and rightly so. Any developer who likes to get knee deep in their own code, bathe in it and roll around in it, should use Notepad++. It supports languages older than me, more languages than hot dinners I've had this month (don't ask) and is an essential part of raw code development. With brace and indent guideline highlighting, multi-document viewing and XML syntax highlighting, you'll never look back or towards any other editor.
There are many alternative email clients out there, but by far the most convenient (amongst many things) is Windows Live Mail. Tens of thousands of students have Hotmail accounts as well as their own university email accounts - so manage them from one single location. Other email clients can often have a tantrum when it comes to collecting Hotmail accounts, and Windows Live Mail is designed specifically as a desktop client complementing the web version.
The exception to the rule: Microsoft Math I could not have passed my two maths modules this academic year just gone without this - it helped me work out how to solve the most complicated equations, and I can't find for the life of me, another product on the market like it. You literally type in the equation you are given and it'll not only solve it, but most of the time it'll guide you through how it has worked it out, so you can learn from it. It supports graphs, visual maths such as Cartesian co-ordinates and vectors, as well as all the functions you'd have on a calculator. It's not free, but there is a free trial - but I'm sure I couldn't stop you from attempting to download a pirated copy (Rapidshare *cough*), if you couldn't afford to buy it.

Edmonton Cardinals beat Spruce Grove White Sox
York Underwood
May 24, 2013 • May 24, 2013 • 2 minute read
The Edmonton Cardinals defeated the Spruce Grove White Sox 2-1 on May 15 at John Fry Park in Edmonton.
This was the Sox first regular season game against the Cardinals after the Sox lost an exhibition game to the Cardinals earlier in the month.
This regular season game was considerably closer than the exhibition game.
In the exhibition game, the Cardinals beat the Sox by six runs – finishing with a score of 11-5 for the Cardinals.
"I thought our level of competitiveness was the best it's been all year. We came to play today and we competed really hard," said Rob Boik, head coach of the White Sox.
"It's just a matter of executing the little things such as the bunt in the second inning and cleaning up some base running mistakes."
The Cardinals had the first run by the bottom of the second inning and kept their lead for the duration of the game.
In the bottom of the third, the Sox' pitcher, Taylor Collins, began to tire.
His pitch count increased, and the Cardinals managed to get another run in making the score 2-0.
Because of the Cardinals' early lead, the Sox really put in an effort to hold them back.
Collins was still noticeably tired in the bottom of third inning, but managed to prevent the Cardinals from driving in any more runs.
A pop fly followed by an out at second base finished the third inning keeping the score at 2-0.
Lucas Galloway was consistently getting on base for the Sox.
He's quick on his feet and a smart batter.
At the top of the fifth inning, Galloway slid just under the arm of the Cardinals' second basemen, but the Sox just couldn't seem to find a hitter to send him home.
Jacob Melville made the first and only run for the Sox in the top of the sixth inning.
The bottom of sixth Nathan Wedgewood replaced Collins with a fresh arm and managed to hold off any more runs by the Cardinals.
The top of the seventh had Sox fans on their seat.
A single run and this was still a ball game.
However, a messed up bunt and a misjudged lead by Galloway (he was caught leading off at second base) finished the game for the Sox.
The final score was 2-1 for the Cardinals.
The Sox had road games for the rest of the week with their next four games in Vauxhall, Alta.
The Sox lost to the Calgary Dinos and, later that day, to the Lethbridge Elks on Friday, May 17. On May 18, Team Manitoba beat the Sox, and on May 19, the Sox replayed Lethbridge — defeating them 6-3.
"We'll do some things well at home and some things poor at home. We'll do some things well on the road and some things poor on the road. It's not indicated by whether we're at home or on the road," said Boik.
"I don't think the field we play at is a factor."

How to Overcome Your Fear of Eating Insects? And why you should.
How to Overcome Your Phobia of Eating Insects?
In order to overcome the phobia of eating insects, we first need to seek to understand where that fear comes from.
We know you've heard all the arguments. So we're not going to go on about it at length.
You already know that edible insects are a complete protein food, rich in all the nutrients your body needs.
You also know that the use of insects as a food source is far more sustainable than raising other protein sources, like beef or pork.
You're afraid of the idea that the ants you may eat as a delicacy were the very same insect that have been trying to keep away from your food cupboard.
Or that you just threw out some old flour because it had mealworms.
We're conditioned to avoid creepy crawly things. And at all costs, we feel compelled to keep them away from our food.
We fear that bugs carry diseases.
That there's a good chance they've been feasting on things like rotten animal corpses and human excrement before getting cooked up in our muffins or salad dressing.
And there may be a small kernel of truth to this.
We're going to explore all the reasons for our disgust when it comes to insects...and then break down these reasons, one by one.
From hunter-gatherers to pesticides: where does this fear come from?
Humans did not always have such a pronounced aversion to eating insects.
Early Christian, Jewish, and Islamic sacred texts all make reference to bugs as a food source.
In the Bible, there are several references to eating locusts, especially in the Book of Leviticus and the story of John the Baptist.
Islamic and Jewish traditions also hint that eating locusts was part of the culture of ancient times.
And in Ancient Greece, certain types of insects were actually considered a delicacy.
In Europe and northern Africa, sedentary farming replaced the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Because insects were a seasonal food that couldn't be relied on, humans turned to the large-scale production and storage of food.
At this point in history, bugs became a nuisance, a pest.
Farmers went to great lengths to keep them away from their crops. After a while, pesticides began to be used...making insects not only an undesirable food choice, but a dangerous one.
As agriculture spread throughout the Western countries of the world, it left some cultures behind.
As Europe began to dominate and conquer much of the western world, they imposed their lifestyle upon indigenous inhabitants.
Westerners perceived theirs as the more sophisticated and advanced culture. At this point in time, the practice of eating insects began to be viewed as primitive, and even disgusting. It symbolized a way of life that Western culture disdained.
Attempts to impose agriculture on indigenous people were sometimes disastrous.
In 2010, farmers began growing cotton near a village in Mali where children enjoyed eating grasshoppers for a snack.
Because of the pesticides needed for this, the children were no longer able to eat grasshoppers.
The result was the loss of a badly needed source of protein for a group already suffering malnutrition.
In the US in the late 1800s, Western settlers turned to the Native Americans for help when their crops were destroyed by grasshoppers.
The Native Americans supplied a nutritious and tasty "prairie cake" which helped the white settlers survive the winter.
But later, when these settlers discovered that the cakes were made with the bodies of a common insect (known as the katydid), they never ate these cakes again out of sheer disgust.
Today insects are still commonly eaten in tropical countries.
The climates of such regions mean that insects remain large and plentiful all year long.
But in the West, our disdain for edible insects looms large. Missionaries and other visitors to tropical countries condemn the practice as uncivilized and even un-Christian.
We now know that certain insects (most notably house flies) can carry disease, making edible insects even less appealing.
And in many agricultural areas, the large-scale use of pesticides makes it impossible to harvest and consume insects safely.
Entomophagy was common in ancient times.
Are insects safe to eat? Is there a reason to be afraid of bugs?
The short answer is...just as safe as burger or even safer.
This may not be especially comforting, though.
Sadly, toxins and dangerous chemicals in every kind of food has become commonplace.
As with any type of food, it's important to know what you're eating and where it came from.
If your insects are sourced from a professional insect farm with high hygienic standards, than you don't have to worry. However, eating earthworms from your backyard is not the best idea.
If you've ever observed fruit flies feeding on rotten berries or maggots crawling around in your trash, it's hard to imagine cooking these little darlings up on your frying pan for dinner.
After all, where have insects been? Not anywhere good, that's for sure.
But what about the food you eat every day? Do you really know where that has been...or what's in it?
On the other hand, farmed insects don't need any chemical processing (only thermal), and they can thrive in a population dense environment without getting sick.
In other words, insect farming doesn't require any antibiotics.
In this context, the risk inherent in eating insects is slight.
As with any other kind of food, you have to know the difference between "good" and "bad insects, and you have to know how to prepare them correctly.
How to choose the right edible insects?
Vegetables and plants are a huge part of most of our diets. Still, you wouldn't just go and eat any random plant growing in the fields or woods.
It's the same with insects. Not all insects are the same.
You may already know that brightly-colored berries are often poisonous. This rule holds true for bugs, too. Steer clear of any bugs that whose vibrant hue stands out. This is nature's way of signalling danger.
This is also true of insects that are hairy, or that have a strong odor.
Snails and slugs feed on poisonous plants, so these should be avoided, as well.
However, eating the wrong insects can kill you.
Can you eat raw bugs?
Many insects that are not professionally farmed feed on rotting food.
For that reason, the rules of preparing meat for eating hold equally true for bugs.
Never eat an insect raw.
Cooking them effectively destroys any harmful bacteria or parasites. It also makes them taste better, and helps your body absorb their nutrients more easily.
In a later section, we will discuss various methods of cooking and preparing some insects.
Can I be allergic to insects?
Shellfish allergies are increasingly common today. If you are allergic to shrimp or lobster, you might want to avoid edible insects.
That's because insects are closely related to shellfish. They both belong to a category called "arthropods." Insects and shellfish both have a skeleton outside their body.
This exoskeleton is an allergy trigger for some people.
As with any kind of food, insects can make you sick in certain circumstances. But a little knowledge and preparedness goes a long way.
In the U.S., foods of all kinds are constantly being recalled from our supermarkets due to safety concerns. In addition, we consume massive quantities of fast and cheap food, which put us in direct danger of mental illness, breast cancer, and premature cardiac death.  These foods include seemingly innocent staples like bagels, soda, and cookies.
So are insects safe to eat?
The answer is, they are safer than most of the foods you already eat every day.
How do edible insects taste?
Not the way you would expect.
You might be afraid of eating bugs because you think taste dirty. But that's simply not true.
You usually cannot feel their little pincers or wings crackling around in your mouth as you eat them.
Insects do not really taste weird at all.
As we noted earlier, not all insects are the same. Each one has a slightly different taste. And the way you prepare them also makes a difference.
Here's a rundown of what some of the most commonly eaten bugs taste like.
These are popular in Southeast Asia, especially Thailand. They can be lightly boiled or deep fried, and are frequently cooked up in chili.
They have a vague citrus flavor. Some people have also described their taste as resembling black licorice.
Just be sure to take off the wings first. Only the body and head of a giant water bug is edible.
Common house crickets are often ground up whole and used in flour, but they can be fried, too. They have a slight nutty, earthy flavor which which subtly comes through in whatever they've been cooked or baked in.
Grasshoppers, which are mainly consumed in small African countries like Uganda , taste vaguely like chicken.
If you want to learn how to make delicious foods with insects, check out our recipe section.
If you can get past the offensive smell, you may enjoy the delicate apple-like taste of these insects.
Often roasted, these have a delicate raw-vegetable kind of taste, similar to carrots.
In Mexico, these are called "chapulines." They are considered a wonderful treat. In all honesty, it can be difficult to overcome the texture of the grasshopper's legs, but beyond that, these have a delicious meaty taste.
Of course, most insects take on the taste of the ingredients that they are prepared with.
They also may taste like what they have been fed with. For example, crickets that are fed mint leaves will have a slightly minty taste.
While insects do taste differently depending on the situation, none of them taste dirty or offensive. They will not magically come to life while you're eating them and start crawling around inside your mouth. The disgust you may feel about eating them is solely based on cultural preference...which can be overcome with a spirit of adventure.
Insects do not taste dirty or disgusting.
They have different flavors depending on the type of insect and how they are prepared.
A disgust for eating bugs is based on cultural preference.
To make your first experience of bug-eating as enjoyable as possible, here are some pointers for preparing them.
If you're extremely disgusted by eating whole insects, try with insect flour first.
By mixing a spoon of cricket flour with your favourite pastry dough, you can enjoy all the nutritional benefits of entomophagy without seeing bugs on your plate.
Remove any dead mealworms. You can tell they are dead because they will have a darker color. You will also want to remove any of their shed skin. An easy way to do this is to simply place them on a plate and blow on them before placing them in the freezer.
Then boil the mealworms with mushroom stems and salt for two hours to make a stock that's both delicious and nutritious.
Remove body hairs, as well as the abdomen (it looks like a sac). Then dip them in tempura batter, drop then in hot oil, and cook them up.
After collecting a good-sized portion of ants, boil them for about six minutes to neutralize the acids in their bodies.
Ground worms can be mixed with the salt that goes on the rim of a margarita. Delicious and healthy!
Just throw them in boiling water! But make sure you leave them in there for a good long time, as these can contain many harmful parasites.
And don't forget that insects can be purchased in flour or protein bars. This may be an easy way to get started on your entomophagy journey before moving on to more adventurous dishes.
So what do you think? Can you get past the cultural belief that insects are disgusting? There are huge benefits to edible insects, but our cultural preferences can be a major barrier to overcome.
When it comes to making such a major lifestyle change, it's best to start small.
Once edible insects have become part of your diet, you will not want to go back. They can help you reduce toxins, chemicals, and processed sugar which drain your energy and health.
Try one small snack of roasted grasshopper or a cricket-based protein bar. You may actually enjoy it.
And your body will thank you.

SublimeManpage is small plugin for calling `man` utility from
Sublime Text 2 editor. Result is opened in new tab inside the
editor.

Plugin now works also on platforms other than Linux and OS X. Though
in a limited way.

# Install

Install with [Package Control](http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control).

`Command Palette` > `Package Control: Install Package` > `SublimeManpage`

Or clone this reporitory from github:

```bash
$ git clone https://apophys@github.com/apophys/SublimeManpage.git
```

# Config

Package is shipped with default configuration prepared
for C language - sections 2, 3 and 3p (system calls, function calls).
In default, exact match is disabled. Exact match can be turned on/off from
Command Palette.

You can edit the configuration in the user settings.

`Preferences` -> `Package Settings` -> `SublimeManpage` -> `Settings - Default`

Or

`Command Palette` > `Preferences: SublimeManpage Settings - User`

```json
{
    "sections" : [ "2", "3", "3p"],
    "exact_match" : false
}
```

If you need some other sections, just append the section number to this list.

## Exact match

The plugin now supports an `exact match` functionality. You can turn it on/off either
manually or from command palette.

# Usage

Use `Manpage: Open manual page` option, from command palette or on OS X
key binding `super + shift + m` or key binding `ctrl + alt + m` on Linux.
This will pop up a form in which you can write the function name.

Another possibility is to use `super + alt + w` or `ctrl + alt + w`
on OS X and Linux respectively to lookup the word under the cursor directly.

If `exact_match` is set to true, plugin will open manpage for the *first exact match*
in specified sections.

# Windows (*) support

On windows ((*) any platform other than linux and os x), manual page is opened
in web browser. The plugin currently uses [www.linuxmanpages.com](http://www.linuxmanpages.com).
In this case, plugin does not support listing matching functions but opens
first exact match according to sections as defined in settings.

If functions is not found, an error message is raised.
