Every person wants to take good care of their home. People tend to be happy when they are living in well secured houses. As much as people know the importance of security, they tend to take it lightly and forget to secure their homes. They don't know the benefits of security in their premises and tend to forget about it. The following are reasons as to why you should consider having a security monitoring system in your home.
It helps to protect valuables. There are various things that people view as special to them.Valuables are not similar to everyone and they may tend to differ.Many individuals tend to possess very expensive stuff such as jewelry and electronics. Also, they are the same things that thieves will target to take away from you. Security systems especially those with alarms tend to scare off the thieves away hence your stuff are left in peace.
Provides aid in preventing crime from happening in your homes. When you have an automated home system, the chances of thieves breaking in are negligible.People without the security system are prone to invasion. With a security monitoring system in your house, your neighbors tend to benefit since there is enhanced safety in your neighborhood.
You have the advantage of maintaining a close watch on your premises.The automated security systems will enable you to have access to your home at the comfort of your work or in any place that you are. It is possible fro you to have remote access to your house e with the help of the cameras installed around your house by the provider.This will help to prevent any potential crime since the criminals are aware that they are being watched.
You are able to watch your kids closely. When you have a security system, you can easily see what your kids are up to when you are away from home. You are able to know the kind of allies they bring to your home since some of them may be up to no good.
You are able to have a peace of mind. A security system provides you with a sense of security for you and your family. When you feel protected, you tend to have a peace of mind since you do not stress over crimes happening to you. You can be able to focus on other things without having to look over your shoulder or worrying about your safety.
If you have anything on your old smartphone that needs fixing like a broken screen, replacing any missing buttons and so on, get it fixed! Not having the capacity to do this incredibly decreases the estimation of your gadget and it would be to a great degree hard to get something advantageous for your endeavors. Getting your phone settled to look in an indistinguishable class from new can uncommonly empower you to get the best value for your sale. Nobody wants to buy a shabby product. Be sure to provide for your smartphone a cautious cleaning. Whether it's a few marks on the case to dust particles stuck in your speaker. Try to use a soft damp material to clear any stains.Additionally, ensure there aren't any articles on the fabric that could conceivably harm the look.
the sale of your phone is dependent on how well you present your phone. By this, we mean taking great photographs showing every aspect of your smartphone. Be direct here. On the off chance that there's a gouge that you couldn't evacuate, ensure you specify this as a feature of the gadget. Taking great pictures will expel any inquiries asked from the buyer. Buyers are particularly critical with respect to packaging and dispatching. An Iphone isn't your general cell phone and purchasers might want to ensure that the gadget is conveyed to them in a similar shape that it was before the deal.Odds are, they'd be spending an impressive sum on your smartphone and would hence, as to get their cash's worth. Make a point to bubble wrap the smartphone inside the bundling to stay away from any interior harm. Make sure that the packaging is wrapped up well too. Try using the original packaging as it does add value.
It's one thing to keep your smartphone looking in an indistinguishable class from new however the item edge is comparatively as basic. Make sure to eradicate every one of your information. We'd recommend doing a full factory reset so that it removes all your data including photos, videos, passwords and so on to restore your smartphone to the way it was when you first bought it. This leaves no takes after from your end either. Essentially make a point to go down each one of your data with the objective that nothing gets left behind.

The nonstick surface known as Teflon makes omelet-flipping a lot easier, but we now know it's at a price. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, or Teflon) can cause flu-like symptoms if the pans are overheated and even kill pet birds. PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), a chemical that's used to create PTFE, can increase the risk of bladder and kidney cancers in people who work with the stuff. According to the EPA, PFOA has the potential to "bioaccumulate and biomagnify" in wildlife, is readily absorbed after being eaten, accumulates in the blood, kidneys, and liver, and poses developmental and reproductive risks. Not good.
I've been using alternatives for years, and have had reasonable success. But I was upset when my fave anodized steel Calphalon started being infused with "polymers" to make it nonstick – and that's when I stopped buying new ones.
My cast-iron pan is nicely seasoned and works for a lot of foods most people would cook in a nonstick pan, but it's also huge and heavy, and not appropriate for puddings and polenta and the like. I'd made a homemade pudding in an old Calphalon saucepan (anodized, no polymers) but the milk and cornstarch in the pudding combined to make a gluey mess along the bottom and sides of the pan. The result: a messy cleanup and lumps in the pudding.
So I tried an Ecolution PFOA-Free Hydrolon Non-Stick saucepan. It's a super light pan, which means it won't work well for every purpose, but its manufacturer says Hydrolon is a water-based solvent marketed by Ecolution, which pledges not to be used on coatings that contain PFOA.
I made the same pudding again with the new saucepan – and in a hurry – and the result was quite successful. What little clung to the side was easily wiped out with a sponge, though it's also dishwasher safe.
I've also been perfecting a technique for frying eggs in anodized steel and enameled pans, with mixed results. The best trick I've found is to put about a teaspoon of water in the pan with the eggs so they don't brown or stick. A lid can help basically steam the eggs, and keep them from sticking, but the pan must be watched very closely. And timing of the flip and the scoop is completely up to the cook!
Anyway, while a saucepan isn't the best tool for eggs, I figured I'd try out this "eco-surface" on my local browns. Aside from not being able to slide them out of the pan when they were ready, it worked perfectly: no browning, no sticking.
But watch out for "greenwashing," the deceptive practice of naming a product so it sounds sustainable or healthy but it isn't. Pans aren't exempt. For example, according to Consumer Affairs, the Orgreenic brand of nonstick pans "isn't made with any green or recyclable materials. It's called Orgreenic simply because it's green. That's the only reason." You know, the COLOR green. It is literally—greenwashed.
Others, like the Ecolution pan, have some legitimacy. GreenPan uses a ceramic coating called Thermolon, which the company says is free of lead, cadmium, PTFE, and PFOA, and emits 60% less CO2 in its production than other pans. The company also uses upcycled stainless steel for handles and upcycled aluminum for the pan bodies. (Anyone concerned about aluminum, take note.)
And, in the course of writing this, I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that Calphalon had come up with a PTFE-free version called Simply Calphalon several years ago. Asked, a Calphalon rep told me this: "The Ceramic Nonstick cookware does not include PFOA, PTFE, lead or cadmium."
What it IS made up of is "proprietary information." Still, I think I know what I might be asking for this Christmas?

Die Microsoft Management Console (MMC) ist eine grafische Benutzeroberfläche zur Verwaltung von Computern unter Microsoft Windows. Die MMC selbst führt keine Verwaltungsaufgaben aus, sondern fasst Verwaltungsprogramme zusammen. Ein solches Programm für die MMC wird Snap-In genannt und trägt die Dateinamenserweiterung msc.

Mit der MMC werden die meisten Werkzeuge ausgeführt, die der Benutzer unterhalb des Systemsteuerungseintrags "Verwaltung" findet, darunter die Computerverwaltung mit dem Gerätemanager und der Datenträgerverwaltung sowie die Dienststeuerung. Die Hauptansicht der Management Console zeigt links einen Baum, in dem das gewünschte Snap-in ausgewählt wird. Rechts erscheinen dann die zugehörigen Optionen.

Snap-Ins können direkt über das Startmenü, die Kommandozeile, PowerShell oder den Dialog "Ausführen" gestartet werden, wodurch die MMC mit dem entsprechenden Modul ausgeführt wird. Teilweise sind diese jedoch nur in Verbindung mit einem Windows-Server funktionell beziehungsweise nur auf einem solchen verfügbar. Bei vielen Snap-Ins ist sowohl möglich, einen lokalen Computer, als auch einen entfernten Computer zu verwalten.

Ferner ist es möglich, über die MMC selbst, beziehungsweise über deren SDK, oder die Win32-API, benutzerdefinierte Ansichten und Konsolen zu erstellen oder zu entwickeln.

Geschichte
Die MMC wurde Ende 1997 mit dem Option Pack für Windows NT 4.0 eingeführt. Version 1.2 ist Bestandteil von Windows 2000. Sie ist auch unter Windows 9x nachrüstbar. Mit Windows XP folgte Version 2.0, mit Service Pack 3 und kurze Zeit später mit Windows Vista Version 3.0 der MMC. Alle neueren Versionen des Betriebssystems beinhalten ebenfalls diese Version der MMC.

Beispiele für Snap-Ins in Microsoft Windows
 Active Directory - Benutzer und Computer (dsa.msc)
 Active Directory - Standorte und Dienste (dssite.msc)
 Computerverwaltung (compmgmt.msc)
 Datenträgerverwaltung (diskmgmt.msc)
 Dienste (services.msc)
 DNS-Manager (dnsmgmt.msc)

Thomas Bailie (15 July 1885 – 22 November 1957) was an Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) Member of Parliament (1941–1953) in the Parliament of Northern Ireland, based at Stormont, during which time he was Deputy Speaker.

Bailie was born in Boston, USA, the son of William Bailie and Margaret Crooks – his family was from Newtownards, County Down. Returning to Ireland, Bailie attended the Ward School, Bangor.  He was married, in 1908, to Jean Fowler and had six children, Muriel, Winifred, Margaret, Mabel, Maureen and William. He served on Bangor Borough Council from 1913 to 1953.

When the first Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, Lord Craigavon, died in 1940, Bailie was elected as his replacement in the 1941 by-election in North Down. He won the seat as an independent Unionist defeating the UUP candidate. He held his seat in 1945 unopposed, was elected once more in 1949 as the UUP candidate (with a majority of 11,670 over the Labour Party candidate). By 1953, Bailie was once more an independent; this time he was defeated by Robert Samuel Nixon, the UUP candidate, by 1,097 votes.

More Americans Are Aging in Place. Can Towns and Cities Adapt?
The graying of the American homeowner is upon us. The question is: Will communities be ready for the challenges that come with that? The number of households headed by someone age 70 or older will surge by 42 percent from 2015 to 2025, according to a report on the state of housing released last month by the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University (JCHS).
The Harvard researchers note that a majority of those households will be aging in place, not downsizing or moving to retirement communities. That will have implications for an array of support services people will need as they age. But the housing age wave comes at a time when federal programs that provide those supports are treading water in Washington. Consider the signature federal legislation that helps fund community planning and service programs for independent aging, the Older Americans Act. The OAA supports everything from home-delivered meals to transportation and caregiver support programs — and importantly, helps communities plan for future needs as their populations get older. States and municipalities use the federal dollars they receive via the OAA to leverage local funding. The law requires reauthorization every five years, a step that has been on hold in Congress since 2011. Funding has continued during that time, with one exception: During sequestration in March 2013, OAA programs were cut by 5 percent; many have since been reversed, but other cuts now appear to be permanent. A survey last year by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (NAAAA), which represents local government aging service providers, found that some states had reduced nutrition programs, transportation services, and caregiver support programs. Recovery since then has been uneven, according to Sandy Markwood, Chief Executive Officer of the NAAAA. "In some cases, states made up the differences, but many programs still are not back to pre-sequestration levels." But here's the more critical point: Even if all the cuts had been restored, treading water wouldn't be good enough in light of the challenges communities will soon face.

Profile: Kirk Couser
COLA Team
April 22, 2011 COLA Team, New TechnologyBy Richard Cross
COLA's reputation as a thought leader hinges upon the quality of its staff, and its collective willingness to embrace innovation as a necessary, always unfolding process. There is no better example of innovation in action than COLA's IT Division, headed by Chief Information Officer Kirk Couser.
Couser characterizes his role as supporting development of new ideas and their evolution into products and services that creates excitement in the clinical laboratory community. "We work to ensure COLA has the technological resources needed to remain the leader in our industry, while supporting the efforts of everyone at COLA," he explains.
At the heart of Couser's approach is a willingness to push the technological envelope, rather than embrace and maintain static solutions. For Couser, just because something seems to work well enough isn't a good enough reason to not look for a better way to do it.
"We're always looking for ways to support our labs through technology," Couser stated. "We want them to look to us as a solution provider everyday."
"You know you're succeeding when your customers are not only using your products, they're asking us for more," he adds. "When the expectation exists that we will continue to provide better services, customers will remain with us."
This mindset has resulted in a slew of innovations not seen anywhere else in the industry.
"COLAcentral not only supports compliance, but is designed to helps our labs manage their practice," Couser states, citing its document repository feature as an example of its practical functionality. Additionally, COLAcentral's flexible platform gives COLA opportunities to add other features in the future, such as the competency assessment tool for staff presently under development.
Couser also cites COLA's Eval tool, which allows COLA surveyors to perform their duties in a faster, more efficient, environmentally friendly manner, as another success.
"When we presented Eval to CMS, they loved it," he said. He credits feedback from COLA's surveyors as playing a critical role in tackling some early challenges. "Our surveyors in the field have had as much of a hand in its success as the IT team did. With their continued help, the system will evolve to allow more time for education in the lab and less time needed for data entry."
Additionally, COLA's state of the art phone system "empowers customers to connect quickly with the person who can best serve them," Couser observes. "We will soon deliver this same functionality to all of our virtual employees."
For each of these successes, Couser credits the efforts of his team. "I am fortunate to work with a team that is so committed to COLA's mission. It's not uncommon to find them working nights or weekends when necessary because of their passion to support and create products that ensure we're extraordinary." IT Customer Service Representative Sandy Williams, he explains, "gives customers the personal touch."
Before coming to COLA in May 2008, Couser worked as an executive in the financial industry. His decision to take a job in the healthcare industry was, to some extent, driven by personal as well as professional motives. His seven year old son, David, is diagnosed with autism. "The lab industry has had a very big impact on our lives," he states. "For someone who visits labs frequently and relies on results that directly impact our son's success, working here is a very personal experience."
"Working here gives you a chance to change people's lives on a daily basis," states Couser, who especially enjoys COLA's culture of innovation. "The freedom to innovate and do things differently allows us to evolve," he states. "Having the opportunity to be involved in creating solutions is a great part of my job."

PHOENIX — Arizona lawmakers are again wading into the national debate over illegal immigration by proposing a bill that challenges automatic U.S. citizenship for children of illegal immigrants.
The bill comes Thursday after Arizona's enactment last year of the nation's toughest local immigration enforcement law.
The filing will mark the second time this year that lawmakers in a state have targeted the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment. A similar proposal was filed last week in the Indiana General Assembly.
Leaders of an effort to get similar proposals considered in other states hope that lawmakers in 10 to 15 states will file such measures this year.
Supporters of the idea say guaranteed citizenship results in taxpayers paying for services provided to illegal immigrants and their children.
Opponents say the proposal will be declared unconstitutional.

Q: Handle multiple substrings in Woocommerce validation checkout form a few years ago someone added code to our website (Wordpress/Woocommerce Checkout), which validates a field against a prefix and field length.
The field validation code looks like this:
add_action('woocommerce_checkout_process', 'my_custom_checkout_field_process');

function my_custom_checkout_field_process() {
    if ((substr($_POST['billing_manr'],0,3) <> "MA-") || (strlen($_POST['billing_manr']) <> 9))
    wc_add_notice( __( 'Error code ...' ), 'error' );
}

It validates against MA- and an allover length of 9 letters. For example, MA-123123 is OK, MA-123 isn't.
Now we want to validate against MA-xxxxxx and BW-xxxxxx but I'm not sure how the correct syntax is.
I tried already the following:
add_action('woocommerce_checkout_process', 'my_custom_checkout_field_process');

function my_custom_checkout_field_process() {
    if ((substr($_POST['billing_manr'],0,3) <> "MA-") || (substr($_POST['billing_manr'],0,3) <> "BW-") || (strlen($_POST['billing_manr']) <> 9))
    wc_add_notice( __( 'Error code ...' ), 'error' );
}

But with this the validation fails again both, MA- and BW-.
Can someone help me with this?

A: The following using in_array() will handle both substrings as follow:
add_action('woocommerce_checkout_process', 'my_custom_checkout_field_process');
function my_custom_checkout_field_process() {
    if ( isset($_POST['billing_manr'])
    && ( ! in_array( substr($_POST['billing_manr'], 0, 3), array('MA-', 'BW-') )
    || strlen($_POST['billing_manr']) <> 9 ) ) {
        wc_add_notice( __( 'Error code ...', 'woocommerce' ), 'error' );
    }
}

or using preg_match() too this way:
add_action('woocommerce_checkout_process', 'my_custom_checkout_field_process');
function my_custom_checkout_field_process() {
    if ( isset($_POST['billing_manr'])
    && ( ! preg_match('/^MA-|BC-/', $_POST['billing_manr'])
    || strlen($_POST['billing_manr']) <> 9 ) ) {
        wc_add_notice( __( 'Error code ...', 'woocommerce' ), 'error' );
    }
}

Tested and works.

Software as a service (SaaS) allows users to subscribe and use application software in the cloud. BISCloud provides complete software for your entire business so that you can subscribe to certain SaaS applications as needed, such as: accounting, HR, procurement, project management, service, sales management, marketing, transportation management, and supply chain.
Rather than purchasing software to install, or additional hardware to support it, customers subscribe to a SaaS offering. Generally, they pay for this service on a monthly basis using a pay-as-you-go model. Transitioning costs to a recurring operating expense allows many businesses to exercise better and more predictable budgeting. Users can also terminate SaaS offerings at any time to stop those recurring costs.
More than typical packaged software, using a SaaS provider will require you or your organization to use a "vanilla" version of the software. Minimal customization is typically offered. Sometimes being forced to use a "vanilla" version is helpful. SaaS Cloud Providers often take into account multiple platforms: mobile, browser, and so on. If you or your organization want software that can be accessed from multiple platforms, this might be an easy way to make that happen. As part of this, SaaS Cloud Providers may also provide apps for mobile devices. If you have events such as high seasonal sales activity, then the elasticity of the Cloud with SaaS might provide an opportunity. The SaaS Cloud Provider may provide better security than your existing software (security—or inadequate security—can also be a disadvantage). Better security may come in part because it is critical for the SaaS Cloud Provider and is part of their main business. In-house security, on the other hand, is not usually an individual's or a organization's main business and, therefore, may not be as good as that offered by the SaaS Cloud Provider.


This issue of Print comes at an interesting time. This new group of designers, while undeniably adroit, is part of a generation fully proficient in the art of self-promotion in a digital age. Getting the word out about one's work is now de rigueur. But at a time when new work is relentlessly blasted out on platforms where seemingly everyone in the room is shouting, is it really possible to break through the volume of voices all vying to captivate and capture attention? Moreover, in the Insta-culture of the early 21st century, how does one navigate through the metadata to find the meteoric? As in years past, that's exactly what we've sought to do here. We've gone in quest of craft and cunning ideas and ideals. We've looked for substance and style and star-power. The list of Print's New Visual Artists has become a who's who of the industry's leaders, and includes Scott Dadich, Eddie Opara, Alan Dye, Jessica Walsh, Jessica Hische, Frank Chimero and, more recently, Zipeng Zhu, Joe Hollier and Joey Cofone. This year's 15 New Visual Artists are bold in name and in voice, and are bravely making new work in a new world.
Current city: New York City.
Education: Boston University; BFA, graphic design.
Path that led you to design: It was the only path I felt OK with failing on.
Career thus far, in a nutshell: Unsolicited emails and a prayer for a response.
Current place of work: Freelance illustrator.
The key to good design: Putting yourself into the work (shout out to James Victore for teaching me that one).
Work of which you're most proud: "Plant Goals," as it was the first piece I allowed myself to put out there in the style I was most afraid of sharing for years.
How you would classify your style: Contemporary. Heavily inspired by modern events and perspectives on women, my pieces focus on femininity and the female form, leveraging physical traits such as body hair, overtly extended limbs and rounded features.
Cause that means the most to you: Pushing intersectional feminism forward.
What you want to accomplish before all is said and done: Run another marathon (preferably Boston, and while not nursing an injury).
Your idea of happiness: Content.
The future of design is: Social.

Allen, Harris Selected in Third Round of 2019 NFL Draft
By Andy Backstrom
The wait took a little longer than most would have expected this past fall, given his first-round draft projection, but Boston College football defensive end Zach Allen's journey to the NFL is finally over. On Friday night, the Arizona Cardinals selected the 6-foot-4, 281-pound New Canaan, Conn. native with the 65th overall pick in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. About an hour later, teammate and safety Will Harris came off the board as a Detroit Lion, having been selected with the 81st overall pick.
Back in November, Allen was slotted as high as a top-15 pick, and entering draft season was still regarded as a first-round selection. Following a junior campaign in which he was one of two defensive linemen in the country to log 100 or more tackles, Allen decided to return to BC for his senior season. To say that he made the right choice would be an understatement.
While it might not show on paper, Allen turned in his best year of his career in 2018, recording 61 tackles—including 15 behind the line of scrimmage—and a personal-best 6.5 sacks, all while being double-teamed by some of the best offensive lines in the country. What separates the All-ACC Second Teamer from similar sized players at his position is his versatility.
In Week Four, Allen leapt over David Blough after the Purdue quarterback was hit from the behind, in order to make an acrobatic interception. Then, seven days later, he logged a potential game-saving sack by wrapping up Temple gunslinger Anthony Russo with one arm for a loss of seven yard, forcing an Owls punt—one that ultimately defused their second-half comeback. A couple weeks after that, he got a hand on a Louisville extra point—the first of two blocked kicks for Allen on the season. Put simply, he's as complete as defensive linemen come.
When all was said and done, Allen finished his Eagles career with 199 tackles—40.5 of which were for loss—18.5 sacks, 14 passes defended, two interceptions, one forced fumble, and four recoveries, in addition to the two aforementioned blocked kicks. The problem was, in the weeks following the 2018 season, Allen's draft stock plateaued.
He took a huge hit before and during the Senior Bowl, sliding out of the first round of most mock drafts. On the opening series of the annual all-star game, Allen tried to close the inside gap on a goal line stand, but instead was stood up in his own end zone by Alabama State's Tytus Howard, creating an open path for Temple running back Ryquell Armstead to score. Aside from a blocked extra point, there wasn't much to highlight from Allen's outing. He didn't tally a single tackle on the day and, at one point, was called for roughing the passer. The penalty came just two days after Allen got in a scuffle with Kansas State offensive tackle Dalton Risner. Clearly, the defensive end was far from himself.
At the NFL Combine, Allen ran a 5-flat 40-yard dash, but showcased his quickness with a 1.65 10-yard split and a 7.34 three-cone drill. Because his numbers didn't stack up to the Rashan Garys and Montez Sweats of this year's Draft class, Allen was overshadowed in Indianapolis, but his agility and tenacity during the drill portion of the Combine spoke to his skillset.
Because of everything Allen can do on the field, his tape is much more representative of his talent than his measurables—and the Cardinals took note. Arizona could use all of the help it can get on the defensive side of the ball, considering that last season it was the worst team against the run in the NFL, allowing 4.9 yards per carry. Allen could very well start from day one opposite Chandler Jones.
"Zach is a big man and is a great athlete," BC head coach Steve Addazio told BCEagles.com. "He has tremendous versatility—whether it is on the edge [or] inside—and his ability to go from speed to power is incredible … Zach is going to play a long time in the NFL with the Cardinals."
Unlike Allen, Harris' draft stock didn't drop in the months leading up to April—rather, he quickly became one of the more notable defensive backs in this year's draft class. BC fans, however, have known the saftey's name for years.
Harris started the final three games of his freshman season at strong safety and never looked back, locking down the position for his final three years on the Heights. The Suwanee, Ga. native developed the reputation as a hard-hitting defensive back in no time. As an upperclassman, Harris upped the ante, finishing both his junior and senior seasons with the fourth-most tackles on BC's roster. In 2018, he delivered a number of punishing hits, most notably a devastating a blow on Virginia Tech quarterback Ryan Willis, en route to earning All-ACC Third Team honors and a share of the William J. Flynn award—given to BC's most valuable player—with tight end Tommy Sweeney.
"Will is a unique, physical player who had tremendous measurables at the NFL Combine," Addazio said, per BCEagles.com. "He has a passion for football and will be a guy who can do a lot of different things on Sundays for the Lions."
Those measurables are the main reason why Harris started climbing prospect rankings everywhere. After a fine Senior Bowl—one in which he recorded two tackles and a pass deflection—the hard-nosed defensive back stole the spotlight from his fellow BC prospects at the NFL Combine. Harris ran a blistering 4.41 40-yard dash, the fourth best among 2019 Combine participating safeties. To put that in perspective, that split is at least a tenth of a second faster than each of the last four Eagles defensive backs to be selected in the NFL Draft. Factor in his 20 bench press reps—tied for third among safeties—and top-five finishes in the three-cone drill and 20-yard shuttle, and Harris had himself quite the pre-draft performance.
.@jwillofficial_'s Ranking Among NFL Combine Participating Safeties:
Bench Press: 20 Reps (T-3rd)
40-Yard Dash: 4.41 (4th)
Here's how Harris stacks up against some of BC's past NFL draftees:
W. Harris 4.41
I. Yiadom 4.52
J. Johnson 4.61
J. Simmons 4.61pic.twitter.com/7G6StfqFEI

Coming into Thursday, ESPN NFL Draft analysts Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr. rated Harris 96th and 64th, respectively, in their final top-300 prospect rankings. On Friday, he fell in between where the two pundits expected, reuniting with former BC defensive line coach and current Lions defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni in Detroit. Harris, the fifth Eagles defensive back to be drafted in the past four years, should be able to make an immediate impact in the Lions' secondary—or perhaps at the rover position—given that the team allowed opposing quarterbacks to post the fifth-highest yards per pass attempt (7.9) and third-highest passer rating (102.7) this past season.
Allen and Harris experienced very different pre-draft processes, but now they're both in the same boat, as third-round picks primed to make a difference in year one.

Effective January 1, 2015, flat-plate photovoltaic (PV) modules and panels sold in California must comply with the updated regulations in safety standard ANSI/UL 1703 for fire resistance testing. These changes may require manufacturers to incorporate new and different testing procedures, or to re-test previously tested products.
Intertek's new whitepaper, "Photovoltaic Panel and Module Fire Resistance Testing: Comprehensive Guide to ANSI/UL 1703," provides all the information you need to fully understand the new regulations.

Currently, six inborn errors of metabolism with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria as discriminative feature are known. The "Primary 3-methylglutaconic aciduria," 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase deficiency or AUH defect, is a disorder of leucine catabolism. For all other subtypes, also denoted "Secondary 3-methylglutaconic acidurias" (TAZ defect or Barth syndrome, SERAC1 defect or MEGDEL syndrome, OPA3 defect or Costeff syndrome, DNAJC19 defect or DCMA syndrome, TMEM70 defect, "not otherwise specified (NOS) 3-MGA-uria"), the origin of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria remains enigmatic but is hypothesized to be independent from leucine catabolism. Here we show the results of leucine loading test in 21 patients with different inborn errors of metabolism who present with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria. After leucine loading urinary 3-methylglutaconic acid levels increased only in the patients with an AUH defect. This strongly supports the hypothesis that 3-methylglutaconic aciduria is independent from leucine breakdown in other inborn errors of metabolism with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria and also provides a simple test to discriminate between primary and secondary 3-methylglutaconic aciduria in regular patient care.

Outsider Art at the Metropolis Collective in Mechanicsburg
Published: Jul. 01, 2013, 1:30 p.m.
Ellen Hughes | Special to PennLive
THE ART OF CHRIS CASH.jpg
Outsider Art by Chris Cash in Metropolis Collective Exhibit
If You Go: FOV | Field of Vision, Metropolis Collective, 6 p.m. Friday through August 30, 16 W. Main St., Mechanicsburg. Free. Info and gallery hours: info@metropoliscollective.com or 717-458-8245.
The Metropolis Collective's next show is called F.O.V. | Field of Vision. It's a group exhibition featuring Folk, Outsider, Visionary or Self-Taught artists, all part of what we might have, in the 1960s, called anti-establishment art.
Outsider Art is the generic category that covers this 23-artist show, and it's used to describe the work of artists who are "untrained, unschooled and uninfluenced by the art world," according to Raw Vision magazine.
Although Outsider Art has been around since the beginning of humanity, as a definitive genre it has its origin in the early 1900s, according to Raw Vision's website. Some German and Swiss psychiatrists began to pay attention to the compelling artistic output of some institutionalized patients.
Toward the middle of the century, the idea of Outsider Art was widened to include all untrained, unaffiliated, non-professional artists who nevertheless produced works of inventiveness and profound originality.
Today, the term usually refers to the work of artists who are socially, physically or mentally separated from society. It's often expanded to include "raw" art, work that is made from recycled or repurposed material. Outsider artists still mainly live on the fringes of society, at least in terms of the art world.
You might not expect a gallery in Mechanicsburg to feature such challenging work. Richard Reilly and Danielle Charette, the husband-and-wife team who own the gallery, have a commitment to the unconventional. It's led them to an identity and a space that distinguishes them from other galleries in the area.
"We put our heart and soul into what we are doing," Reilly said. The Collective is home to 3 galleries, a recording studio, and a performance stage. It's become a destination for many New York City based artists--people the couple met there when Reilly was working at the Adelson Gallery and performing as a punk rocker.
I walked inside the Metropolis Collective on Main Street in Mechanicsburg as a respite from Jubilee Days a couple of weeks ago. What a breath of fresh air. You won't see a gallery so dedicated to showing "out there" artists for many miles in any direction. And the space, with its high ceilings and historic features, is striking. It contrasts, in a good way, with the jarringly contemporary artwork on the walls.
In The Metropolis Collective's press release for the upcoming exhibit, Charette explained that the artists have a compulsion, sometimes of a pathological nature, to produce visual art, without the benefit of formal training or the expectation of recognition from the art world or the general public.
They don't paint with a view to becoming famous. As a result, they offer an uninhibited vision of the world, she said. Outsider Art allows the viewer the ability travel beyond society's field of vision, whence the name of the exhibit.
Purity in the motivation of creation is a common thread, she explained.
Like many revolutionary ideas that become the status quo, Outsider Art is now recognized and lauded by the art world. An inherent contradiction in this whole idea is that once an outsider artist is discovered, there's a change in status--think of Jean-Michel Basquiat, who morphed from a graffiti artist to a celebrated star of the art world.
The current exhibit at the Metropolis Gallery features other celebrated examples of successful Outsider Art.
Mark May with Robots
One such artist is Mark May. He's a Mechanicsburg-based teacher in the Cumberland Valley system. He began to construct whimsical robot sculptures in the evenings, as a way of unwinding from his day job. One day he noticed the Metropolis Collective, just at the time it was just being refurbished by Reilly and Charette.
He made what he described as a cold call. He walked inside, introduced himself, and asked if they'd be interested in seeing his robots. They were intrigued. When they saw his work, they invited him to display at their first show. Since then, May has brought other untrained artists to the Collective's attention, and is in effect their local resource for Outsider Art.
"Having a world class gallery come to our area, right in Mechanicsburg, has been a godsend," he said. He's found his niche with the Collective, and you can see many of his robots displayed on one wall of the gallery. They are made of recycled and repurposed materials and have, as in much of Outsider Art, a whimsical though serious subtext.
May said that outsider artists are sending a message through their work about corporate greed and the dehumanizing process of progress. "It's the responsibility of the artist to say things that other people can't," he said.

With the construction industry remaining one of the largest global markets, it is imperative that the advanced materials sector listens to the industry and observes what is needed to increase usage within the sector.
Advanced Materials & Innovation has addressed this requirement and recently announced the programme for its upcoming conference and exhibition 'Advanced Materials for Construction featuring FRP for Infrastructure' (AMCONF). The event, which will be held at the University of Manchester on 3rd and 4th April 2019, incorporates a keynote address from the Rail Director of Transport for the North, Tim Wood, who is looking for innovators and collaborators to work with him on the ambitious investment plans for a transformed rail network at the heart of the new Northern Powerhouse Rail System.
"We are very proud to have a programme that not only represents material suppliers, but also end users, contractors and specifiers. We have taken the time to speak to people across the supply chain to ensure that we provide a thought-provoking conference programme designed to push existing boundaries, question our methods and progress the usage of advanced materials in the construction industry," explains AMI Director, Gemma Smith.

Under whose laws are astronauts in orbit governed?
Who has legal jurisdiction in space?
Can laws even be enforced in space when there is no good (or at times even possible) way to police astronauts?
Will new or different laws be necessary for the orbital frontier? For other worlds?
Is it a necessary eventuality that those working in space will declare themselves a sovereign "nation" – delivering a new Declaration of Independence from Earth?
These topics have been addressed fairly extensively in the science-fiction genre. Popularly, Outland, a film starring Sean Connery in the 1980s, follows a "federal marshal" of sorts whose job it is to maintain the rule of law on the rough-and-tumble mining stations of Jupiter's moon, Io. The cult hit Firefly follows a less-than-law-abiding private starship crew eking out an existence in the aftermath of an interplanetary civil war where frontier independence was attempted and failed. The common themes here recognize that space is truly a frontier, and those who are the first to work there will necessarily be far (the farthest yet!) from those that make and enforce the laws that allegedly govern them. Obviously this presents problems. It's no surprise that these stories tend to fall into the "space western" camp, because perhaps the best parallel human history possesses for how space will be populated is, ahem, how the west was won.
The topic has also been legitimately addressed, at least insofar as it has had to be. Many people don't realize that legally today, spacecraft are considered "native soil" of the country that owns them. The U.S.-owned modules of the International Space Station, for instance, are considered American soil, the Russian-owned modules are Russian soil, and so on. One can imagine quite a childish scenario should our countries ever declare war, where astronauts and cosmonauts each retreat to their own modules and close the hatches, awaiting their return trip home on separate spacecraft.
However, I suspect a little civil disobedience would rule the day in orbit should terrestrial nations with cooperative astronauts ever come into conflict. The harsh realities of space can only bring into sharp relief human limitations, and as a result, space has historically and consistently been a frontier of cooperation. Long before the Berlin Wall came down, the ideological and political barriers of the Cold War were surpassed by cooperation in orbit between the United States and the Soviet Union starting with the Apollo-Soyuz program. This cooperation continued with Shuttle-Mir missions through to the construction of the International Space Station.
Today, the International Space Station itself represents one of the most, (and perhaps the greatest,) globally-cooperative projects in human history, involving 15 nations so far with more in line to participate. So, I don't buy that these men and women, who have formed bonds and a working kinship practically impossible for any of us who have not been there to understand, will simply turn their backs on each other because someone on the ground tells them to.
The real wildcards to me in this hypothetical future, however, are the multinational corporations. What if everything those of us who support "private space" are hoping for succeeds, and private corporations loft their own spacecraft and stations into space? Well, who's sovereign soil are those spacecraft? The country that launched them? I don't think that logically follows… And as I said, if a corporation "resides" and legally operates in more than one nation, is it a free-for-all, like international waters – which would in turn require its own set of laws?
Just a few thoughts. As always, comments welcome.


It is raining cheap air tickets this year and it is turning out to be a good time to travel, particularly to Europe. Thanks to global carriers slashing ticket prices in a fare war to grab a larger share of the international skies, long-haul airfares have plunged in the first half of this financial year from the same period in the year before.
Airfares to cities in Europe such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Rome and Budapest have dipped below S$1,000 from about S$1,200 to S$1,400 last year, according to Dynasty Travel, one of the biggest travel agencies in Singapore.
On the short routes, largely plied by low-cost carriers (LCCs), fares to cities such as Manila, Yangon and Seoul have about halved, with others down by about 15 per cent on average.
"Travellers today are spoilt for choice on the long-haul routes, with airlines aggressively launching promotional fares this year,'' said Ms Alicia Seah, director of marketing and communications at Dynasty Travel.
Dynasty Travel has seen overall sales grow by about 35 per cent in the first few months of this year, with bookings to Europe up by around 30 per cent. The falling euro has also helped fuel the holiday-booking frenzy among Singaporeans as travel to Europe becomes more affordable.
Travel agencies have, accordingly, beefed up sales and marketing campaigns to make the most out of the low-fare season. Dynasty Travel organised a fair at Suntec over the weekend, while the Singapore Outbound Travel Agents Association (Sotaa) held Travel Revolution 2017 at Marina Bay Sands.
"We are confident of achieving twice the bookings as we did at the same event last year … Through promotional fares, we see long-haul fares down by up to about 20 per cent while the savings on short routes are close to around 15 per cent," said a spokesperson at Chan Brothers Travel, another leading travel agency in Singapore.
Industry experts noted that airlines have increased their fleet sizes aggressively over the past few years, and the resultant capacity expansion is driving the intense competition to sell more seats. This has helped to keep fares low despite the high travel demand from Singapore.
"Fuel prices were very low in 2016, and remain relatively low, which is also contributing to driving competitive fares to a wide variety of destinations," said Mr James Marshall, vice-president of Transport Services Asia Pacific at Expedia Group. He noted that passenger demand from Singapore continues to be high and is growing.
SIA Group, which includes SIA, SilkAir, Scoot and Tigerair, has announced 14 new destinations for this financial year. These include Stockholm by SIA and Athens by Scoot, with flights starting from May 30 and June 20, respectively. Other new routes launched include flights to Düsseldorf, Canberra and Wellington by SIA; Fuzhou, Luang Prabang and Vientiane by SilkAir; Wuxi and Zhengzhou by Tigerair; as well as Dalian, Jaipur, Amritsar and Sapporo by Scoot.
"While airfares are typically determined by route supply and demand ... we do review our fares in relation to market-specific developments, such that our flights are competitively priced," said a spokesperson for Scoot and Tigerair.
Next year, with the ultra-long-range Airbus aircraft A350-900ULR added to its fleet, SIA will relaunch the world's longest non-stop flight between Singapore and New York. It will also relaunch fights to Los Angeles and a third destination in the United States. Meanwhile, Qantas will be launching its first non-stop Australia-Europe services, and Garuda Indonesia is planning to launch its own services to the US via Japan.
Airlines, in some cases, have added capacity ahead of the expected demand growth, and as a result they have had to cut fares to fill those seats, aviation analysts said.
"That has led to growing competition among carriers, especially in Asia, where not only are the local carriers growing, but you also have the Middle Eastern carriers vying for their share of long-haul markets, such as Asia-Europe and Asia-Americas," said Mr Ellis Taylor, Asia finance editor at FlightGlobal.
"I expect airfares to remain cheap for much of this year, but they could possibly tighten up towards the end of the year, particularly if the price of oil starts to move up, forcing carriers to raise fares to recoup the higher costs".
During the past three years, according to Expedia, the LCCs have added substantial capacity from Singapore, particularly to Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur, which now have four times more capacity than in 2014.
Several new destinations within Asia have also become accessible to Singaporean travellers via direct flights, including Chinese cities such as Shenyang via Scoot. LCCs are even gearing up to fly beyond Asia, with AirAsia planning to add its first US destination — Hawaii — later this year.


Puro IEM-100 have a big, rich sound in a very small package.
I love music. It's a calming influence on my otherwise crazy life. And there is nothing like sitting down at the end of the day and turning on a soft piano station on Pandora to calm the nerves. Music is why I have such a strong interest on finding just the right pair of headphones. The Puro IEM-100 earbuds have a strong future ahead of them as stylish, brilliant sounding headphones.
To start, the Puro IEM-100 have a nice, solid box and packaging. It's a great juxtaposition between the black details of the headphones, and the bright white of the background. The wrap of the box has some basic details of the headphones, which I would see as very helpful on a retail shelf. After removing the wrap, I found that the logo 'Puro' was just beneath it on the top of the box. Inside the box, the earbuds and their cable are wrapped around a hefty black foam that rests tightly inside the small box. After you pull the earbuds and the foam out, you will find a small instructional booklet, replacement ear gels, and a carrying pouch for the earbuds.
One of the first things I noticed about this set of earphones was that the earphones themselves are quite a bit smaller that most earbuds I've seen. They are clearly marked for the R and L ear and there is a control about 12 inches down the cable that allows you to turn volume up or down and you can lock in the volume level so that it is limited to 85 dB. Having this lock engaged literally makes it impossible for you to nudge the volume limit up on the lever. Disengaging the lock is a little cumbersome. You have to use the 3.5 mm stereo plug to push it out of the locked position. This is a little awkward in my opinion because if you are listening to something, you have to stop what you are doing and unplug the headphones to use them for this purpose.
The next step to my testing process was to of course try them on. If you've ever read any of my other reviews, I am not really a fan of the earbud style headphones. They just never seem to fit my ear canal correctly. They are either falling out constantly or provide such a tight connection that air is trapped and it feels like a vacuum in my ears. And yes, I have tried all sizes of ear gels in the past. Surprisingly enough, I found the Puro IEM-100s to be quite comfortable and secure in my ears, unless I accidentally tugged on the cord.
The sound quality was also very surprising to me. Once I found the proper fit inside my ear, the sound was full and bright. There was a very dynamic range between highs and lows. And even though I the volume up kind of high, I didn't hear any distortion.
One of the nice features of these earbuds is the volume control. Puro prides itself on HEALTHY EARS, a sound investment in your future. Basically what they've done is provided the Puro Balanced Response curve and ambient noise attenuation to help provide you with a stronger sound so you don't have to 'crank up the volume' giving you a better chance at healthier ears and better hearing throughout your life. That is why they include the lock and why it's important to use it.
Overall, my experience with the Puro IEM-100 earbuds was very enjoyable. I love the simplicity of their design with the elegant, rich sound that they offer.

Kerry Washington Denounces Slut-Shaming, "Scandal" To Introduce Donald Trump Character
"I think slut-shaming is wrong. I don't believe in it."
Andre Grant
Kerry Washington was giddy and comfortable with her co-stars on stage at the Dolby Theatre during the 33rd annual Paleyfest. And, when the topic of on-screen sexual partners came up, the Scandal star brought the discussion some humor.
"There was one day recently on set where we actually tallied through how many sexual partners each character has had…" she remarked. "And, listen, I don't have a judgment about that. I said this on Twitter, I think slut-shaming is wrong. I don't believe in it. You can sleep with as many people as you want to sleep with, but I will do just about anything to make fun of Tony Goldwyn, so…"
The star of the hit television series went back and forth with Goldwyn, giving the actor the brunt of a gentle ribbing sent his way. The two have been locked in a romance for the ages on network television for the last five years, but it looks like they both still have their funny bones intact.
After everything Washington's character, Olivia Pope, has been through, it looks like they'll need that sense of humor.
Scandal is also known to tackle real world politics every season. The immediacy of Donald Trump's ascent to the helm of the leaky Republican starship is feverishly covered daily by press all around the world. His rise is looked at as a lot of things, the main one being that he's running on a platform of good ol' fashioned bigotry and class partisanship. Well, Scandal has joined in, and it looks like the character will be competing with Mr. Trump as far as outrageous dialogue goes.
Showrunner Shonda Rhimes shared a few nuggets on the character's introduction: "We did have some moments where I'd run back to the writer's room the next day and say, 'There's some dialogue we have to cross out because it's already happened," which seemed to surprise even Rhimes. "This election is its own thing, you can't make this stuff up."
There's no doubt that you'd have a tough time coming up with a storyline like this one if it wasn't unfolding right before our eyes, but here we are. Washington hinted at some upcoming TV-debate wackiness, "If you think the debates in the real world are fun…"
With Trump's trouncing of Rubio in his home state of Florida, it looks like a Democrat and Trump showdown is coming as we race toward November. In the meantime, we can test which character is more believable – the one invented by Shonda Rhimes and crew, or the one leading the Republican charge.
The upcoming episode of Scandal airs at 9 p.m. Thursday night on ABC.

Everyone Hates Obamacare – Even Democrats
Posted by Vladimir Davidiuk | Oct 9, 2013 | Debt Crisis, Healthcare, Protests, Taxation, Uncategorized | 3 |
The government shutdown engineered by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and President Barack Obama has led to consequences neither envisioned. From watching centenarian World War II veterans storming the "Barrycades" to enter the World War II Memorial on the National Mall, to seeing Leader Reid respond "Why would we want to do that?" to a question about helping kids with cancer, to watching the Obamacare enrollment website forcibly be taken offline to address a swarm of bugs and glitches, to the publicly released Obamacare hotline phone number: 1-800-FUCK-YO.
The problem of course is a simple one. No one wants Obamacare. It polls well below 50% in nearly every single poll. Democrats, especially committed Liberals and Leftists love the idea of Obamacare- The Federal Government taking charge of 1/6 of the American economy, making decisions on behalf of citizens, imposing judgement based on ideology. But they don't want to actually have to live under it. That's why they've had to change it half a dozen times since it passed into law. That's why a 2,700 page bloated tumor of legislation metastasized into a 20,000 page undead monster. That's why the Democrat-led Congress took steps to ensure it was exempted from Obamacare.
When Republicans, led by Senator Ted Cruz tried to take steps to de-fund, delay and repeal Obamacare from being implemented, those same democrats rose up, shrieking like harpies that the sky was falling. As Brandon Crocker states so elegantly and simply in his recent piece, "His Imperial Presidency":
According to Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, no one in the legislative branch has any business trying to change anything regarding Obamacare because "it is the law." Obamacare would not pass today. It would not have passed two years ago. It only became law because Obama's election in 2008 ushered in short-lived Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate including a "super-majority" in the Senate, which allowed the Democrats to ram the legislation through even though no one was given a chance to read it, let alone understand it (in Nancy Pelosi's famous words, Congress had to pass it in order to see what was in it). Even then, it only made it through Congress due to political gamesmanship. As a direct result of public opposition to this legislation, Democrats promptly lost the House and nearly lost the Senate. Yet Harry Reid says this piece of legislation is so sacrosanct that Republicans are "insane" to try to change it?
Even Labor Unions don't want Obamacare as it stands now. They have come to the exact same conclusion as Conservatives: Obamacare is really, really bad for middle-class, 40-hour-a-week workers, the kind of people on whom the Obama administration turned its backs during the 2012 election.
Obamacare waivers are a dime-a-dozen, with Congress, many businesses, organizations and even states having been exempted from the law, it becomes clear rather quickly that were the law applied indiscriminately, the country would collapse in a smoking ruin. In defense of the effort by Republicans to delay, de-fund or repeal Obamacare, the great Thomas Sowell offers the following words of wisdom from his recent article, "Who Shut Down the Government?":
Obamacare is indeed "the law of the land," as its supporters keep saying, and the Supreme Court has upheld its Constitutionality.
But the whole point of having a division of powers within the federal government is that each branch can decide independently what it wants to do or not do, regardless of what the other branches do, when exercising the powers specifically granted to that branch by the Constitution.
In short, the Republican-led House of Representatives doesn't just a right to challenge the legitimacy and permanence of Obamacare. It is their Constitutional duty. Not only were they in the right to fight against its implementation, they were doing the will of the American people.
Obamacare is a poorly-crafted piece of legislation, dictated by one ideologically-driven party and imposed inequitably upon a citizenry that did not ask for it, does not want it, and is actively campaigning to overturn and eliminate it. That scenario is the definition of tyranny. The choice facing America is a simple and stark one. Do we allow a self-imposed collapse to continue, or do we turn around and find a better way?
If the choice is up to Reid and Obama, it may well be too late.

"That scenario is the definition of tyranny."
What a joke. Maybe the hypberbolic, fact-free scenario you imagined is a definition of tyranny, but a law being passed through a democratically elected Congress, signed by the president, and upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court, is not tyranny, it's our democracy.
You know, you could try to win some elections and democratically repeal the law. But that sounds like a lot of work, and you would need a lot of people to think you have intelligence and credibility to get enough votes to actually repeal it, so you're probably better off sticking to writing these delusional tirades that don't accomplish anything but make you feel better.
GreatWest	on October 16, 2013 at 12:04 am
Fred offers zero substance, but plenty of insults from his bleeding heart. Why not just offer your differing opinion without insults Fred? Meaningful debate can occur when you respect the other person's opinion and offer an intelligent opposing view. What is most insulting is there is no chance you would actually say this to the author in person. You might actually try to communicate with him if eye to eye. This country is splitting apart from the exact attitude you project in your post. How will anything be resolved this way?
For my opinion, I read a comment from a foreign country. She said, America, now you have pheasant care like us. And with political lawmakers making a law, then exempting themselves from it, along with other organizations and groups – she's right. The absolute law of the land now dictates that I purchase something that the politicians and other groups do not have to. How? How in the world is that American? I agree with Senator Obama. The Senator who voted against raising the debt limit. The Senator who called such reckless debt unpatriotic and unimaginable to burden our children. I agree with the Senator who laughed at the notion that a government could mandate someone purchase insurance. If that were the case, he said, we could mandate the homeless buy a house. He went on to explain that cost was the true issue and forcing people to buy a policy does nothing to address that. He was right. Where is the Senator I voted for in 2008 now?
