While it was Democrat v Democrat, how much did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raise?
There is more than money involved especially this year. If the Russian puppet keeps doing Putin's will on tariffs, we may be starting a recession by election day. That ain't good, but it is really bad for the Russian loving Racist Rabbits.
Heck even Rafael Cruz can smell the manure, when he tells people not to vote for a Republican, but to vote for the Democrat.
Manny, are you hoping for a recession?
Paul are you hoping for a miracle? Why do you troll when you know I only play games when I want to?
Besides I will no longer refer to Trump as the Russian puppet, he is a Muppet. Putin has his hand so far up Trump's arse that his hand is moving Trump's lips.
So your question is Putin planning a recession? I don't know, ask Putin.
Even Abbott is crying over Trump's tariffs. Is Abbott hoping for a recession? Or is he just hoping for Trump to mean tweet about him?
Manny do you think all white straight males who voted for trump hate "brown folks" as you say.
Studies show that most of them do, there is one rule that always applies. There are exceptions, but they are the exceptions not the rule.
They hate legal and illegal immigrants. Well hate may be the wrong word, they are scared because their world is changing and they can't adjust, so they believe all the bs that people like Trump and Bill Daniels (Not his real name) put out. We are being invaded, they are infesting, they breed like rabbits, anchor babies, MS-13 taking over towns.
Not all of them are straight males and they are not all males, you have the Log Cabin Republicans, for instance.
Paul the "Deep State" may not allow Trump too much room or time to F with their world trades and making money. That is one thing that Trump gets right there is a Deep State but it ain't what he thinks.
"Studies show" which studies show such a thing?
Paul you believe your president, you have stated as much and he never points to study. Fact is he lies all the time.
Will it make a difference as to how you vote? If I point to the study or studies?
I don't expect any change from you Paul, you are trolling try to prove me wrong or hoping that I can't come up with studies.
No ask yourself why you don't require the same from the Russian muppet? Is it because you have the same opinion about dark skin folks?
Paul do you know that there were "Mexicans" in Fort Bend County before people from Europe came? Them there were Texmex folks.
I gotta tell you after clicking on all of those links I am starting to feel guilty about eating Tex-Mex. I feel like I am betraying all White people. Next time I am at the straight white guy meeting I will confess my sins. I am just glad that Mexicans don't hate White people as much as you do. You and the Klan have much in common.
As to the Fort Bend County comment I don't know the history of the that County. However, I am pretty sure that the Europeans (Spaniards) were here long before the Country of Mexico was formed. Have you the DNA test yet? How much of your DNA is from the Iberian Peninsula?
Not in Texas Paul, I guess you are not from Texas, I think Texas History is still required reading. So Mexico is European Paul, you really have a lot of reading to do if you care to educate yourself before making such statements.
There you go again Paul into I must be hating white people, why so much guilt Paul, are you afraid to admit to yourself the Trump is a racist? The majority of Amercians agree that Trump is a racist. Do you know anything about your grandfather and grandmother, where were they from. Did they come to Texas and when? Where their parents from? Where did the name Kubosh come from?
But then again your comments about Texmex food tells me a ton about you. Now I know you came to troll and will keep that in mind when you come with stupid questions.
Before the Spaniards there were indigenous people here. The Spaniards did not bring their women for the most part, they either married or formed unions with those Native Americans. That is why people that look like me have so much Native American blood. In fact if you add the parts I am more European, Iberian and Mediterranean, translated Portugal, Spain, Roman, Greek. But to you I look "Mexican".
The other thing that the Spaniards didn't do is to slaughter the Native Americans the way the "Christian" Protestants did. You really need to read your history Paul. No wonder you support the manure that sits in the White House.
Yes Paul, I know where my ancestors came from because I did do a DNA test. My family has been in what is now Texas since the 1600s.
Before the courts ordered HISD to integrate, "Mexicans" were not considered white, when they had to integrate all of a sudden the "Mexicans" became white and were integrated with the other people of color. How convenient that people like you want us as white when it suits you, but not other times.
May want to catch up the history of Houston while you are at it.
I will not spend anymore time educating you, you can to the library or take some of those Mexican-American classes that Texas offers.
A Mexican is a citizen of Mexico. If a person is not from Mexico they are not Mexican. All people who speak Spanish are not Mexicans. The Spanish we're conquering murders. Before the Europeans came to what we now call Mexico there were other indigenous people like the Aztecs. Genetically the way I understand it your DNA is not identified as Mexican. It is Native American, Iberian peninsular etc. You make my head hurt.
So let me be as Racist as I can be. As a nation I think we should have as many hard working, Roman Catholics as we can get. I think we are a better country the more we have. Now that our economy is past full employment we need more hard working Roman Catholics then ever.
Paul there over one million Aztecs in Mexico, many still speak their native language.
Inca's they are still there. The Spaniards considered Indians to be human, and worthy of being converted to Catholics. The "Christian" Protestants considered the Native Americans less than human and to be destroyed or removed. "The only good Indian is a dead Indian".
The annihilation of the Native American was worse than what Hitler did. Yeah good Christians those Protestants.
Kubosh is German isn't it Paul?
There are two countries in South America that did the same thing, those Germanic tribes are "Barbarians" so said the Romans.
Oh yeah Paul and you Trump do have that German background. Not all Germans are bad just the racist hate mongers.
Paul, I can't figure out what point you are trying to make. Is Bill posting under your name?
God help us all if Paul's apparent illness (and greater (?) knowledge of indigenous peoples and historical migration habits) is somehow genetically leaked to Michael. I haven't heard such nonsense since the last time I turned on Comedy Central's Drunk History.
Paul correctly and easily, I might add, just got Manny to once again express his abject hatred for whites. You folks think, hey, we're suave liberals, we will be exempt from that hate. Trust me, you aren't. You feel like you're just a happy coalition of victim groups who all support each other and sing Kumbaya together. The truth is a little more ugly. You really think the Muslims support gays and feminists, for example? You think your Latino allies like Manny don't hate you for being white? Manny, like Oprah is already on record as hoping you and your parents die. Do you think the BLM crew really overlooks your whiteness because you are down with the cause? They only hate white Trump supporters but not you too? Get real.
The reason whites are fleeing the Democratic party is clear and understandable. They recognize they are no longer welcome. The reason gays, blacks and other are joining the #WalkAway movement is they have grown tired of the identity politics game, too.
The Trump tent is getting bigger, because we are taking in (legal, of course) refugees fleeing liberal hate. If you deviate one bit from the liberal agenda, you get branded a racist, bigot, misogynist homophobe, and any other slur that can be thrown out. Manny's the perfect example of that. Even the solid liberals here get excoriated by Manny if they deviate an inch from the message. Manny IS the Democratic party, using hate speech to keep others from questioning anything.
The #WalkAway movement is gaining steam because people are waking up to the realization that, really, who gives a crap what slurs are shouted at you? At this point, it's a combo of the boy who cried wolf, combined with water off a duck's back. And that just makes the left even angrier and more violent, like Maxine Waters and the San Antonio hat robber, which in turn causes more people to flee. It's looking a lot like it will be another long hot Summer of '68 in America.
Why do racists think being called a racist is worse than being a racist?
Look at your new rising star, Alexandria from the Block, AKA She Guevarra. She was happy to defeat Crowley, the old white guy, simply because it was a white man. Men are bad. Why do you think Pelosi and Schumer both are asking Alexandria to tone down her rhetoric? First, they know that socialism doesn't play well with voters who are old enough to understand why socialism doesn't work, and second, they don't want her in-your-face hatred of whites out there so prominently, because they are trying to save the dwindling white base they still have left.
I love it when you call me names, like you think that means something to me. Bring it.
I'm sure you were the star of your high school debate team with solid arguments like that.
As to Maxine, she directly called for mob violence against Trump's cabinet, and by extension, Trump supporters.
Do you prefer white supremacist?
Bill you a Russian loving Racist Rabbit, so full of it, all you do is lie, lie some more and troll, how much are you paid to troll Bill?
Bill why not post who you really are? What are you scared off? As to attacking someone for name calling you did the same thing idiot. Go back to your rock, underneath to be precise.
Really Bill, the name you see that is my name, actually Manuel is the first name Manny is the nickname that Rob Todd gave me. I have nothing to hide, you do! Show yourself, Bill, you are a coward. Paul I respect for using his name.
In today's post, Kuff correctly labels people like Bill evil, they are running scared. They are so use to being the attack dogs that when people start doing it to them they start scattering like the rabbits that they really are. Like all rules that are exceptions.

Former Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer pleaded guilty Monday to five criminal counts in connection with his fundraising activities during his time in office, ending a two-year legal odyssey that had threatened to unearth secrets of the state GOP and former Gov. Charlie Crist.
The guilty plea set off a round of political finger-pointing in Tallahassee, with Republicans laying the blame for the debacle on Crist, a newly-minted Democrat who could challenge current GOP Gov. Rick Scott in 2014. Democrats, meanwhile, tried to tag the RPOF with Greer's ethical baggage.
Greer pleaded guilty to four counts of grand theft and one count of money laundering; prosecutors will ask for 42 months in prison.
The case against Greer centers on allegations that he used his position as party chairman to steer business to Victory Strategies, his fundraising company. Greer said party leaders knew what he was doing, and that a secret severance agreement between himself and party leaders should have protected him from any criminal liability.
Greer sued the RPOF, former Senate President Mike Haridopolos and Sen. John Thrasher, who succeeded Greer as party chief, for the $123,000 he was offered in the severance agreement and $5 million in damages. Greer will drop that suit following the plea deal, his attorney said.
Damon Chase, who had fiercely represented Greer during the long-running and multifaceted legal battle, said in an interview Monday that he still believed Greer would have won at trial.
"The evidence was overwhelmingly in our favor, but I guess Greer got an offer that he couldn't refuse," Chase told the News Service.
Chase wouldn't elaborate on any terms of Greer's agreement to plead guilty, saying it was confidential.
"Knowing the deal he got, I don't blame him one bit for taking it," Chase said.
The case had promised to be a statewide legal and political spectacle, with Greer threatening to drag the RPOF's dirty laundry into open court. Also potentially on the firing line was Crist, a Republican-turned-independent-turned-Democrat who is widely believed to be plotting a political comeback.
In fact, RPOF Executive Director Mike Grissom referred to Greer as "the man Charlie Crist personally picked to lead the Republican Party of Florida" in a statement regarding the plea deal.
Democrats, meanwhile, tried to keep Republicans from ducking blame.
Greer will be sentenced next month.
Greer faced few problems when Charlie Crist's star was on the rise after a sweeping victory in the gubernatorial elections of 2006, a year that saw historic gains by Democrats nationwide. But after Crist's controversial embrace of President Barack Obama's stimulus package in 2009 — a move that would begin Crist's eventual move away from the party — Greer became more controversial among conservative critics.
Greer had maintained that it was that discontent on the right and his ties to Crist, rather than any concerns about his fundraising, that precipitated his resignation from the party in early 2010.
But for whatever reason, and with whomever to blame, Greer decided Monday not to take that battle to its last stage.
Teflon Charlie Crist dodged another bullet.. I wonder how? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Double Teflon Coated Marco Rubio is the real winner. If this deal was not struck, Rubio would have end up in prision. wonder how much Rubio and his lockstep supporters kicked in to the payoff.
John Boy, Jim Greer was Charlie Crist's Chief of Staff and was installed into this position by him personally. Not sure what Rubio has to do with that, but this let Crist totally off the hook here. There are many wondering why/how. Wonder what Greer was promised to take the fall?
I'm sure we'll find out as soon as Charlie runs for Governor, as a Democrat this time. Do you think that will make him any cleaner?
What a shame. Why would somebody want to silence all this?
However he did it, you can bet it wasn't honest. Very sad that so much is being covered up. Doesn't give you much confidence in the process, does it?
Just what this country needs, the appearance of more corruption.
Who in their right mind would vote for Crist again? He's DONE. His true colors become clearer each day.
Typical politicians, what else would you expect?
They cut a deal with him so he would not testify about Republicans conspiracy to deprive the poor and blacks the right to vote in the last election..

The British Ambassador's Wife, Pulling Double Duty
Julia Dunne, a.k.a. Lady Sheinwald, here with husband Nigel, works for the FDA. (Toni L. Sandys - The Washington Post)
Enlarge Photo
By Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts
There they are! Washington got a rare peek Monday at the new British ambassador, Sir Nigel Sheinwald, and his wife, Julia. He's a career diplomat who served as Tony Blair's foreign policy adviser, but she's the one with the really interesting job: The internationally respected doctor (worked for the U.K. government and the E.U.) just landed a position at the Food and Drug Administration.
It's rare for an ambassadorial spouse to work at all, much less for the U.S. government. Lady Sheinwald (known professionally as Julia Dunne) is employed in the FDA's office of pediatric therapeutics; the Oxford-trained physician specializes in testing and regulation of children's medicine. "We feel very fortunate for the international expertise Dr. Dunne brings," said OPT Director Dianne Murphy. The ambassador's wife is working part time; Murphy would not comment on her salary.
Lady Sheinwald declined repeated attempts to discuss her dual roles; an embassy spokesman said there would be "no comment whatsoever."
Through 28 years of marriage, the Sheinwalds have cultivated a low profile despite high-power careers, but their new posting has made them de facto (if reluctant) Washington celebrities from the moment they arrived in October. The two were warmly honored Monday at a dinner hosted by the local chapter of the venerable English-Speaking Union, the group that traditionally introduces new U.K. envoys to fellow Anglophiles. The evening at the City Tavern Club, chaired by board member Willee Lewis, also paid tribute to outgoing director John Andrews and incoming ESU head Mark Olshaker.
So, why so press-shy? Maybe -- oddly enough -- because Lady Sheinwald has been so successful in her own career, which is a rarity in her husband's world. "For a long time, diplomatic spouses couldn't work," said Lawrence Dunham, former assistant chief of protocol at the State Department. That began to change in the mid-'80s, when the United States negotiated treaties that allowed Americans to work in foreign countries and vice versa; the U.S. and U.K. have a special agreement that fast-tracks qualified workers.
Today, the process is fairly routine: After the State Department verifies their status, embassy spouses can apply to the INS for work permits. Hundreds are employed in the private sector (a few for the feds), pay taxes and waive diplomatic immunity when it comes to their jobs. Lady Sheinwald is unusual only in her professional résumé and the profile of the British Embassy. At least one other ambassador's wife in Washington (Dunham declined to name her) held a job with the feds.
The reason most ambassadors' wives don't have careers? They're too busy working at their unpaid gig: all those dinners, receptions, openings and other must-dos that come with representing their country. "The role of spouse is a full-time job," said Dunham.
Another Strike Casualty: The VF After-Party
The Academy Awards haven't -- yet -- been canceled or pared down to a limp Golden Globes-style news conference, but the long-running writers' strike has already taken a toll: Vanity Fair announced yesterday that it's scrubbed its annual post-ceremony party, a glitzy favorite of star-watchers and stars alike.
Cutting too close to the caterer's deadline? No, said the mag's spokeswoman Beth Kseniak: " Graydon [Carter, VF's editor] talked to a lot of people in L.A.; this was just not the right year to throw a big party. It's not like life is going to return to normal immediately" even if the strike is settled tomorrow. "We'll be back next year."
Mellencamp Music for McCain? Like Paper & Fire
Die-hard Democrat John Mellencamp wasn't asking John McCain to stop playing his songs at campaign rallies -- just trying to, you know, shame him a little. And, hey, it seems to have worked!
In an e-mail this week to campaign manager Rick Davis , Mellencamp's publicist suggested McCain should find the singer's rousing classic-rockers like "Pink Houses" and "Our Country" to be an "embarrassment."
"Mr. Mellencamp identifies very strongly with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and was supportive (with these same songs!) of the candidacy of John Edward . . ." wrote the singer's rep, Bob Merlis, adding that wife Elaine Irwin-Mellencamp was a delegate at the '04 Democratic convention. "Are you sure you want to use his music to promote Senator McCain's efforts?"
Asked about the Mellencamp oeuvre, a McCain rep told our colleague Juliet Eilperin: "We're not playing it anymore."

OVER the past few months, all the talk and focus on the Pacific Games has been on the venues, contracts and deadlines.
Anyone would think the event was more to do with the venues and structures than the actual athletes who will compete in them.
Granted the venues are a key element of the Games and so should be given the attention they deserve, one cannot help but turn to the men and women who will use them to bring glory to their countries and to strive to stretch physical and mental boundaries in terms of the competition and their ability to finish on top — ahead of the pack.
At the end of the Games performances are what sticks in the memory of the fan and more importantly what the record books show.
Attaining a level of accomplishment that allows one to be crowned king or queen of their particular sport is the ultimate goal.
But that achievement can be hollow and lose its currency if the athlete uses substances (drugs) to gain an edge on their fellow competitors.
The rewards of finishing first these days in serious and semi-professional sport is reason enough for some to risk their reputations.
Respect for the ethical practice and unwritten law of fair contest does not apply to these people.
Although the Pacific Games is not considered an event that has drug problems, there have been instances where athletes have been caught using means other than their own sweat and honest effort to claim medals.
Drug testing will be carried out in a major PNG sporting event for the first time and this shows that we are joining the rest of the world in maintaining a level playing field and that anyone who attains their moment of triumph does so because they put in the effort and made it on their own.
The way any contest should be played.

Leslie Public Schools go virtual this week because of growing COVID-19 cases
LESLIE, Mich. (WLNS) — According to data from the state's website, schools K-12 have passed nursing homes in COVID-19 outbreaks.
That has forced some schools, like Leslie Public Schools, to make a change.
Leslie Public School Superintendent, Scott Powers, said it's been smooth sailing since they've been teaching in-person.
"You know we've had a few cases here and there that pop up. We deal with them," Superintendent Powers said.
That was, until recently.
"I think we're dealing with 11 cases right now in the past week, which is a significant uptick for us," Superintendent Powers said.
Because of the growing number of COVID cases, the district had to make a tough decision.
"With all of that, it just seemed like the right time to you know.. let's move to virtual learning this week," Superintendent Powers said.
He announced yesterday that Leslie Public Schools were moving on-line this week to protect the well-being of students.
The Superintendent posted on the Leslie Public Schools Facebook page about their move to on-line for this week.
"We have Spring Break the next week as well, this gives us two weeks so hopefully these numbers kind of calm back down," Superintendent Powers said.
Other schools in Michigan are also being cautious in response to the recent spike in COVID cases.
Just last week, the Lansing School District delayed its return to in-person, which was supposed to happen today but is now April 12th.
"We strive to be face to face, but sometimes this stuff comes up and we have it ready to go virtually," Superintendent Powers said.
Superintendent Powers said the end of the school year is around the corner.
"Sometimes it feels like it's been a long school year and then other times it feels like it's just flying right by us," Superintendent Powers said.
With the June 10th end date quickly approaching, he's just taking things one day at a time.
"That's my goal… is that we're back and we finish strong," Superintendent Powers said.
Superintendent Powers said the plan is for Leslie Public Schools to be back in-person starting April 12th.

In the state of Nevada, there are strict rules regarding when child support and spousal support must be paid. When you divorce or have a child out of wedlock, a spouse or a parent with custody of a child can petition the family court to have a child support or spousal support order entered. If support is not paid in accordance with a court order, there are a number of different approaches taken to try to force the payment of the funds that are due. Many of these proceedings are handled in family court.
In some circumstances, however, failing to support a spouse, a former spouse, or a minor child could actually rise to the level of criminal conduct within the state of Nevada. The state rules regarding the crime of failure to support a spouse or child are found in Chapter 201 of Title 15. Title 15 is Nevada's Penal Code, and Chapter 201 is the part of the penal code detailing crimes against public decency and good morals.
This means that, if you have failed to provide adequate support for your spouse or have failed to provide adequate support for your child, you could find yourself facing serious criminal charges. You need to have an attorney who understands the criminal laws in the state of Nevada and who can help you to decide on the best approach to take when you are being prosecuted.
LV Criminal Defense is here to help. We have represented defendants accused of many different violations of Nevada's criminal law, including many offenses against public morality. We can put our substantial legal experience to work to help you decide on the best response to charges, so give us a call for assistance today.
Nevada Laws on Failure to Support a Spouse, Former Spouse or Child
The subsection of Chapter 201 that deals with the crime of failure to support a spouse, former spouse, or child includes Nevada Revised Statutes section 201.015 through 201.080. Collectively, these statutes establish the definitions of words used within the law, explain which court has jurisdiction over the case, provide details about the evidence that can be presented and the defenses that can be raised, and establish both the definition of the criminal conduct and the penalties that could be imposed upon a defendant who has been convicted of failure to support a spouse or child.
According to Nevada Revised Statute section 201.020, a defendant could be convicted of a misdemeanor criminal offense for a knowing failure to provide for the support of a current or former spouse or a minor child. A defendant could also be convicted for a failure to support a child who has reached the age of adulthood but who remains unable to support himself or herself as a result of infirmity, incompetence, or any other legal disability contracted before the child reached the age of majority.
However, a defendant could actually be charged with a more serious crime, a Category C felony, if the amount that the defendant owes for nonpayment of child support or for nonpayment of spousal support ordered by the court totals at least $10,000. If the defendant is convicted of a second or subsequent violation of Nevada Revised Statute section 201.020 and the defendant owes at least $5,000, the defendant could also be charged with this Category C felony offense.
The same statute which establishes the rules and penalties also makes clear that the defendant can be prosecuted for a failure to pay spousal support or child support in any court in a county where the court issued the child support or spousal support order; where the defendant lives; where the custodial parent who the support is owed to lives; where the child the defendant owes support for resides; or where the current or former spouse who is owed money resides.
For purposes of this statute, a minor child is defined to include a child that is not emancipated and that has not yet reached the age of maturity. The statute also makes clear that in a criminal case for failure to pay support, there is no greater evidence required to prove that a marriage took place, or to prove that the child in need of support is the child of the defendant, than the evidence that would be required in a civil action.
Husbands and wives can testify against each other in cases related to failure to pay child support or spousal support, and statutes that normally prohibit husbands and wives from testifying against each other and disclosing confidential information shared between spouses do not apply in these proceedings. This is an important rule to ensure that either spouse is able to testify against his or her husband or wife for failure to pay support that is due.
While accusations of nonpayment of spousal or child support are very serious, there are defenses that can be raised when a defendant has been accused of a crime in connection with nonpayment. For example, Nevada Revised Statute section 201.051 sets forth the requirements for raising an affirmative defense centered around being unable to pay child or spousal support. A defendant will need to provide a written notice before trial of intent to claim he or she was unable to afford support and will need to provide information on witnesses that will testify on his behalf.
LV Criminal Defense can help you to determine if raising an affirmative defense is an appropriate course of action given the evidence against you and the nature of your alleged offense. You should involve a lawyer as soon as possible to be your advocate as you make decisions throughout your case that could affect your future.

This page will inform you about page numbers, including:
Adding page numbers general information
Using sections to control page numbering
Breaking the connection between sections
Adding the page numbers
Editing the Header and Footer
In Word, you can edit the headers and footers by double clicking in the space in which they appear on the document.
When you are finished editing, you can get back to the normal document by hitting the Close Header and Footer button in the Header Design Ribbon.
Microsoft Word provides you with the option of selecting a numbering style (e.g. "Roman Numeral", "Arabic") and gives you the option of selecting the "starting at" number. You can set the page numbers for your entire document, or if you need more control, you can do it section-by-section as well.
If you want continuous pagination that is all in the same format, go to the Insert Ribbon, and in the Header & Footer Group, click on the Page Number icon. Choose the appropriate placement of the number and a style.
If you are writing a Rackham dissertation, you have more complicated pagination. For example, Rackham's guidelines require that the page numbers begin on the third or fourth page of your document (depending on if you include a graphical frontispiece) and the page number on that page should be Roman numeral "ii". Page numbering should continue on in roman numerals until the first page of Chapter 1 is reached. At that point, the numbering should restart in Arabic ("1, 2, 3…").
To accomplish this, we are going to divide the document into different "sections", break them apart (so they can have different page number formatting), and then add the page numbers.
View this video or see the written sections below on how to achieve this.
Step 1: Using Sections to Control Page Numbering
The following instructions demonstrate numbering a dissertation document according to Rackham's guidelines. These steps assume you are including a title page, a copyright page, dedication and acknowledgements and other front matter, and then the body of your dissertation.
Put your cursor before the first letter of "Dedication" or whatever is the first thing that comes after your copyright page.
On the Page Layout Ribbon, in the Page Setup Group, click on the arrow next to the Breaks icon () and select Next Page under the Section Breaks section.
If you turn on the paragraph markers, you should now see a section break on the previous page.
Put your cursor before the first letter of your first chapter and repeat steps 2 and 3.
You have just separated your dissertation into sections. If you want to see what section you are working in, a the left end of Status Bar (at the bottom of your Word document), Word tells you what page you are on, how many words are in your document, which section you are in, and so on.
If you don't see the section information, right-click on the Status Bar, and select Section in the menu that appears.
Step 2: Breaking the Connection Between Sections
By default, the headers and footers of each section are connected to those of the sections before and after it. Therefore, if you want different page number styles to vary from one section to the next (such as Roman or Arabic), you'll need to break the connection between the sections. Particularly with landscaped pages, it is often helpful to break the connection in the header as well as in the footer.
Put your cursor on the first page that needs the Roman numeral.
On the Insert Ribbon, in the Header & Footer Group, click on the arrow under the Footer icon and select Edit Footer.
You should now be in the footer of that page; in the Header & Footer Tools Design Ribbon, in the Navigation Group, unlink this section's footer from previous sections' footer by clicking the highlighted Link to Previous icon.
Put your cursor in the header area, and again click the highlighted Link to Previous icon.
Scroll down to the first page of the body of your dissertation (the chapters), make sure your cursor is in the footer, and click the highlighted Link to Previous icon again.
Repeat for the header area.
You have now successfully unlinked footers of these sections. Any page numbers you put in the body of your document will not affect the page numbering of your front matter, and vice versa.
Step 3: Adding the Page Numbers
Scroll up to the section that contains your front matter and click in the footer of any page (don't do anything for your title page and other pages that don't require a page number).
On the Insert Ribbon, in the Header & Footer Group, click on the arrow next to the Page Number icon and select the positioning you'd like. Generally, Bottom of the Page is the choice, and either Plain Number 2 (centered) or Plain Number 3 (right aligned).
To change to Roman Numerals, on the Insert Ribbon, in the Header & Footer Group, click on the arrow next to the Page Number icon and select Format Page Numbers… to set the "start at" number and the style of numbering.
Scroll down to the first page of the next section (where your chapters start) and click in the footer.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the page numbers for this section. We have noticed in Office 2010 that sometimes when you insert the page number in the chapters' sections it automatically turns to Arabic. If that is the case, then you just need to follow step 3 to make it start at 1.

Patchy Work of Mini Grey: A Sunny Table Runner.
Well, the next runner is underway! I pulled a selection of red, orange and yellow fabric from the stash and started sewing squares in squares. I had an extra long peice of wadding I was sewing to the width of. I started with six blocks but they are 18 inches wide so I think it will be five blocks and I'll put one with the backing.
Now that I have sewn them, now I am going to slice them in quarters and rearrange them! Like these two quilts here.
It is going to look great!

Callahan Divide Talk About 'Aliens & Ice Cream'
Callahan Divide have had big hits on the Texas music chart.
"Stealer of the Day" made it up to #27 on TRR and their song "Pirate" was #18 on the TRR. And in a few weeks, the band will release a brand new album.
Garrett Bryan, co-lead of the band talks about the band's sound,
"Once we stopped making music that we thought everyone wanted to hear and started just making the music we wanted to make, we found our sound"
Colton Fox talks about the forthcoming single "Aliens & Ice Cream", a song he co-wrote,
"We felt with the current political climate and everything that is happening in the world today that is was the right time to release this song; it's simply put a 'let's get the hell out of dodge, turn it up load and sing a long song', it was a lot of fun to work up and record and just as much fun to perform on stage every night".
The song will be available on the band's new album 'Poplar' out on November 11. The album is produced by Jon Knudson of Whiskey Myers. So tell us Concho Valley, can you not wait to get your hands on some new Callahan Divide? Sound off and let us know in the below comment section.

Islamic finance: the academic's view
Article | 1 November, 2008 11:33 AM | By Maryann Tan
Tan: Is the current worldwide economic turmoil a
vindication of Islamic finance philosophy?
Wilson: Yes and no. The present problems are not due to interest rate developments, which obviously Islamic finance doesn't like, but they are a function of the securitisation of markets and of debt. The issue is therefore not the prohibition of interest being vindicated because interest rates have been very low and there are many other problems.
Islamic finance is a small part of the global finance system. How big could the volume of Islamic capital become?
Growth has slowed down a lot this year because the credit crunch is also having an adverse effect on Islamic finance.
Are there any figures currently available that measure the size of the market?
The figures from The Banker are probably more accurate than most and they have it at $500 billion. Obviously we don't know exactly how much it could grow, but it's not going to increase dramatically next year as oil prices are very low.
In a market where banks are extremely cautious and reluctant to lend, can business owners turn to Islamic finance as an alternative source of funds?
Yes, but Islamic banks aren't going to put big money into say, the UK or the US. However, they are an alternative source of funds to a limited extent. After they've recapitalised themselves there is also a crisis in the Gulf countries because of the declining property market and the decline in oil prices so their resources are limited.
Are Islamic banks in a stronger position to lend now relative to conventional banks?
They are in a stronger position than some conventional banks, because they are [considered] a classic banking model – they haven't securitised debt and they're not dependent on the wholesale markets. But they're not going to recapitalise Western banks. They're not big enough to do that and they are very cautious at the moment.
There are several challenges facing the industry, including a lack of scholars and issues with Shariah interpretation. Has there been much progress in the past year?
These are all short-term problems. In the long term I don't think they are problems, as there'll be more Shariah scholars as many young people are currently studying in this area. I think the interpretation of Sukuk (Islamic bonds) has led to healthy debate and that's not a bad thing.
The Islamic finance industry's growth in recent years has been driven, in part, by strong oil prices. It has been argued that this brought a great deal of money and wealth that needed Shariah-compliant investments …
The high oil prices were beneficial last year but now it's dropped. It will rise again but obviously the price of oil is very unstable and that's a problem.
Is there concern that the liquidity brought on by high oil prices is not sustainable now that oil prices are so low?
That's correct. It's not sustainable at the moment but it will come back as we will have higher oil prices in the longer term. This will have a strong, direct effect on Islamic finance.
How are Islamic hedge funds different from common hedge funds? Do they use short-selling strategies and derivatives instruments?
I don't think hedge funds are compatible with Shariah. There is an Islamic hedge fund but I don't think it's really viable because hedge funds short-sell and that's not permitted. Effectively, Islamic hedge funds do short-sell. I am very doubtful about hedge funds. It's not a very good time for them anyway.

Our Misty Dreamcatcher bracelet is a beautiful reivented bracelet. A unique LL design and best seller. Made from 925 Sterling Silver with the a large solid dreamcatcher charm that features a crystal in the middle with an attached feather. Both charms are double sided, which looks amazing when it dangles from the wrist.
A dreamcatcher is traditional native American symbol. It is said that "Nightmares pass through the holes and out of the window. The good dreams are trapped in the web, and then slide down the feathers."
As with all LL pieces it comes with the signature tag in the trademark packaging.


If you're feeling like me, you may be wondering if the world has turned upside down as we move into the new year. 2017 has started with what seems like a sly sarcastic smile.
But it is no good waiting around for the future to rain down, be thrust upon us, or uncomfortably inserted. We, the truth seekers, thinkers, and questioning people of the world, must play a part in its creation.
This means there is only 1 thing to do: get down to some seriously rigorous research!
We will be starting the year off next week (and for a few weeks) with posts about preparing (physically, emotionally, and academically) for Confirmation of Candidature, from some USQ researchers who have lived through it.
We'll have a look at the increasing emphasis on technology and Big Data in research, and some ways to build basic skills in Data Science.
Later in the year we will look more at the writing process. We will cover how to get started, how to keep going, how to improve your writing, and even get some advice on research blog writing!
There will be information about developing an online personal learning network (PLN) when you are conducting research away from a university or research institution.
Most important of all: This is your space! Claim it.
If there is something you would like to see written about and discussed on ReDBlog, or you would like to write about your research journey, please get in touch! We love hearing from you.

What does the word "research" mean to you? To me it is word that opens up an amazing world where we strive towards making the impossible possible.
I think about the research that has been undertaken in health and the positive life-changing outcomes of that research for so many people from babies through to the elderly. I think about the ripple-effect these outcomes have for parents, siblings, children of those that have better lives because a researcher engaged in research to make a difference.
I think about the research that has changed the way we look at our interaction with the environment and our place in various urban, regional and rural ecosystems and the outcomes that improve our practices so that generations from now will be able to enjoy and care for their country, and in the broader sense, their world and universe.
I think about the incredible research that has led to huge improvements in almost every aspect of our lives from the food we eat, the roads we drive on, the bridges we cross, the cars we drive, the buildings we work in, the homes we live in, and even the insect repellents we use to keep the mozzies at bay!
All these amazing advancements that we sometimes take for granted have only come about because of research and dedicated researchers.
In previous posts, authors have shared the journeys they have been on with their research – and many of these are about making what seem like impossibles in our lives (such as juggling family, work and study commitments) into the possible (such as achieving Confirmation or getting through to the other side and completing their thesis). Having completed a Master of Applied Science by research as well as my Doctorate, I know first-hand just how tough it can get sometimes, but found that the elation at reaching various milestones along the way helped immensely. Tap into the network of researchers and research support you have around you – the interaction with others at various stages of the research cycle can provide great tips and tricks to help keep on track and motivated.
So if I sound like I am passionate about research, I am! In fact, I'm so keen that I have made research my career. I am one of the Research Librarians from the USQ Library Team. Based at the Springfield Campus but working across all campuses, my role is to support researchers in Health, Engineering and Sciences while my colleague, Tegan Darnell (the awesome editor of this Blog!), supports researchers in BELA. We work in combination with a fantastic team of Liaison Librarians to provide the tools, training and support for research students and academics on-campus and online. For more information about the services provided please check out our "Help for Researchers" page on the Library's website.

As a researcher, you need to be especially aware of your online profile. Research and other outputs need to be found and read, and that means found online.
I often say, "If it isn't online, it doesn't exist." This means YOU! You need to know what is already out there about you, whether you like what people see, and whether your work is actually 'find-able'.
Creating and maintaining your research profile can be as simple as ensuring your USQ profile & ePrints publication list is up to date, but we highly recommend that all USQ researchers also have an ORCID ID and a Google Scholar profile.
If you are USQ staff, this is your primary profile, and where many people will find you. You should include – a photo, descriptive text, most recent and most notable publications.
Many people search Google Scholar because it's easy. Google Scholar indexes "scholarly materials" – it includes a very large number of scholarly databases, but not commercial websites, and not law reports. Google Scholar also indexes books and book chapters. This is good for humanities and social science academics (though not perfect). You can manually add publications that aren't already in Google Scholar.
You can export your Google Scholar citations to a spreadsheet, and then add in citations in judgements or government reports etc. to make a more complete record of your citations and impact. Include in your profile – a photo, USQ email address, research areas, and the URL for your USQ staff profile as your "Homepage".
Google Scholar will suggest a list of publications to you. You "claim" the ones that are yours. You can also opt to allow Google Scholar to automatically keep your profile up to date.
ORCID is a non-commercial organisation providing permanent digital identifiers for researchers. This is a unique number that's associated with you. You can use this in ePrints, when applying for grants, and when submitting articles for publication. It ties all publications and funding under any of your name variants to you.
Go to orcid.org and sign up. Include a description of your research interests under "Biography".
You can include links to websites in your profile. We recommend you add links to your USQ profile and your Google Scholar profile. If you have publications in Scopus or a ResearcherID, we highly recommend that you link those author IDs to ORCID so that both profiles are automatically kept up to date. This will be particularly relevant to researchers in the sciences. If you have data-sets in ANDS you can also link these to your ORCID profile.
In future, USQ's systems will be able to use your ORCID ID to automatically harvest information about your publications and funding from other places (for example, from Scopus). This means that will need to manually tell the University less about your output, and the University will be able to report more fully and accurately about all your publication and funding activities. All of this will save you time!
Social media are increasingly being used for purposes other than being 'social'. Academic networks such as LinkedIn, ResearchGate, and Academia.edu are used by researchers around the globe to keep in contact with colleagues and collaborators.
The most popular Social Networking tool for researchers is Twitter. This 140-character micro-blogging site can be invaluable professionally. As a 'real-time information network' it can connect you to just about anything that sparks your interest and give you up to date access to what is happening in your field.
Academia.edu is a platform where you can share research papers, monitor deep analytics around the impact of your research, and track the research of academics you follow. Placing your publications and presentations on social media will make it easier for others to encounter your work, not only because they are available on a social network, but also because they improve the search engine optimisation (SEO) of your research.
ResearchGate will help you connect with researchers who aren't on Academia.edu, but ResearchGate also text-mines the publications you've uploaded to find out who you've cited; they add both researchers you've cited, and researchers who have cited you, to your network, as well as colleagues from your department and institution.
Set up a LinkedIn profile to improve your visibility and to network with other researchers. LinkedIn is built for business people, not academics, so you will need to translate the traditional scholarly CV into the format on LinkedIn. Make sure you add a photo, make your profile 'public', and work hard on getting your 'Headline' just right. In your 'Summary' section, provide concrete details about your research and why it matters.
Google yourself (*psst* Make sure you are logged out of your Google account first!).
communicate and interact using tools such as a blog, or Twitter.
For more information on Social Media for researchers, contact your Research Librarian.

Shut Up & Write Tuesdays is pretty simple. You shut up, you write, and it's on Tuesdays. But don't be fooled by the simplicity. When it's done right, Shut Up & Write Tuesdays is a powerful way to develop, maintain, and protect an academic writing practice.
Developed by creative writers in San Francisco in the late 2000s, the Shut Up & Write model was quickly co-opted by academic writers and has been gaining in popularity ever since. Although there are no set activities and no feedback is provided on the writing that's produced, academics have found that writing together in a public place makes the writing process visible and social, provides a positive sense of peer pressure, enhances networks, and increases productivity (Mewburn, Osborne & Caldwell, 2014). But for those who work remotely or part-time, have family responsibilities, or juggle teaching and research, it can be hard to meet in a physical location. So in 2013 I created Shut Up & Write Tuesdays, a virtual Shut Up & Write group that allows academics from all over the world to come together on Twitter.
A recent evaluation (O'Dwyer , McDonough, Jefferson, Goff & Redman-Maclaren, in press) found that Shut Up & Write Tuesdays fostered a sense of community, provided support and guidance for writing, shifted the emphasis from product to process, and led to quantifiable outcomes such as academic journal articles, books, book chapters, and PhD theses. By virtue of the digital format, these experiences were also international and inter-disciplinary.
From humble beginnings in 2013, Shut Up & Write Tuesdays has expanded into a global community. There are now three Twitter accounts – @SUWTues (for folks in Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific, and parts of Asia), @SUWTUK (for folks in the UK, Europe, and parts of Africa and the Middle East), and @SUWTNA (for folks in America and Canada) – which received more than one million views in the first six months of this year alone. And as Shut Up & Write Tuesdays has grown, it has also come full circle, with many of our online participants being inspired to set up offline groups.
Set your intention for the session. Telling others what you'll be working on keeps you accountable.
Use the Pomodoro Write for 25 minutes, have a 5-minute break, rinse and repeat.
Share your progress. Telling others how you went is a powerful way to reflect on your own practice.
Encourage the progress of others. Supporting others helps you build a community and learn that you are not alone in your writing struggles.
Reward yourself. Treating yourself to coffee, cake, or a walk in the sunshine is the most important part of the writing process.
Editors Note: USQ researchers can join others to write on Toowoomba and Springfield campuses at 10-11am on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month. Check your ReDTrain Bulletin email for details.

Within research on the architecture of academic participatory libraries, there's a worrisome discord between the rhetoric and reality of allowing library users to fully participate in library systems, particularly in terms of information seeking. An example is the reluctance of many academic librarians to acknowledge students' research information seeking behaviours and the value of open source tools like Wikipedia.
Despite research showing 70 percent of students use Wikipedia as a kick-starter to research, some still equate openness with unreliability, mostly due to a persuasive argument almost a decade ago against it based on its perceived lack of authority, completeness and reliability. Until Nature compared the error rate of Wikipedia with Encyclopedia Britannica I would have agreed, however, take a look at the information architecture in most Wiki entries and I'm sure you'll be as impressed as I am. The information is presented logically, comprehensively and with illustrations to aid understanding. Wikis are now a valuable, freely accessible tool in students driving need for background information for their assignments. And the best part is Wikipedia's collaborations with librarians and other ethical mavens to ensure accuracy.
Wikipedia has leapt mountains of intellectual scorn from some quarters to encourage collaborations between cultural institutions such as museums and libraries through initiatives such as #1lib1ref where one librarian added one reference to advocate through editing wikis on topics such as LGBT, Asia Pacific Art, Toowoomba and even the University of Southern Queensland. There aren't many web sources to which librarians, or library users for that matter, can contribute, but Wikipedia is one of them, so embrace your inner intellectual maker and critically contribute to our collective intelligence or run the risk of being left behind.

This week 29 USQ researchers staff and students from across USQ's research institutes, centres and faculties participated in the first ever Software Carpentry Workshop in Toowoomba.
Software Carpentry workshops aim to help researchers "get more done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic lab skills for research computing"1. The hands-on workshop at USQ's Toowoomba campus covered basic research computing concepts focusing on task automation, data management, program design, and version control. A common challenge faced by most researchers is getting the most done within time and funding constraints. IT systems are designed to help but sometimes create complications and get in the way. The researchers who attended the Software Carpentry Workshop were introduced to ways of getting the most of IT services and systems to efficiently complete common research tasks.
The researchers first learnt how to automate common tasks such as directory, folder and file management, using pipelines of commands and how to build efficient and automated workflows using the Unix shell, a computer operating system commonly used in Virtual Machines (VMs) and High Performance Computers (HPC). A basic introduction to programming with Python was provided and participants familiarised with using Python for data analysis and presentation. The participants got an introduction to automated version control using Git and learnt how to use Git to track changes, version and merge files while keeping repositories in sync across different computers facilitating collaboration among different people. The workshop provides an essential foundation in getting the most out of research computing and data services and infrastructure provided at no cost to researchers at USQ by the National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources (NeCTAR)2, National Computational Infrastructure (NCI)3 and Research Data Services (RDS)4 through the QCIF (Queensland Cyber Infrastructure Foundation)5.
The event has received positive feedback and there are an additional 15 who have expressed interest in attending a second session to cover statistical analysis. The workshop provided a gentle introduction to working with a computer command line interface, opening up new possibilities and resources that enhance researchers outcomes and experiences. The format of Software Carpentry Workshops make it easy for all to learn as no background training is required. At the workshop there were three instructors and seven helpers in the room ensuring that help was always available when required.
The lessons covered are available online for the participants and anyone interested to access freely online at http://software-carpentry.org/lessons/. There is also a vibrant and very helpful software carpentry community online that is ready to provide ongoing help as well as ongoing local support from QCIF's eResearch Analysts.
The workshop was organised by the Office of Research Development, sponsored by the ReDTrain initiative, supported by QCIF and the Software Carpentry Foundation and administered by certified instructors and volunteers from UQ and USQ. Researchers had opportunities to learn as well as network over the two days. The workshop was a success and there are plans to run more Software Carpentry Workshops in the future. If you would like to learn more about Software Carpentry or are interested in attending a workshop contact the author of the blog at eResearchServices@usq.edu.au.

As a librarian I'm interested in the future skills we need to support researchers. In the past decade, eResearch practices and processes have evolved along with library support services.
Since then, eResearch has grown both locally and internationally alongside the portability and sophistication of ICTs.
Scholarly communication: Endnote, Zotero, Refworks, Mendeley; Creative Commons licensing; electronic publishing – both Open Access and subscriber; bibliometrics & altmetrics; institutional repositories; author identifiers, e.g. ORCID ID, Researcher ID.
Data collection & analysis: qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods analyses, data mining, programming languages such as R and Python for meaningful information.
While librarians' skills have evolved with advances in these key areas, data analysis is a new and exciting area of eResearch involving open-source software and a new digital mindset. The automation requirements of a lot of eResearch projects require programming and analysis skills which is where librarians can help with a new Library Carpentry Toolbox supported by the Australian National Data Service (ANDS).
Software training for librarians is an important new tool made possible with open source technology; important new skills to safeguard against data loss, enable data re-use and ensure against copyright mismanagement.
Editors Note: USQ eResearch is running 'Software Carpentry' sessions on the 18th -19th July 2016. Find out more about 'Software Carpentry' here.

1Password Web
An Overview of 1Password 1Password Web
1Password allows you to easily manage sensitive data by using multiple vaults or storage folders. The password manager allows you to utilize this standout filing system from your profile by storing different sets of log-in, password, and other related information and organizing them into separate categories. You can, for example, create a vault that stores all information related to work and another one that holds personal credentials. Other useful documents, such as your driver's licence and social security numbers, can be added. 1Password Web
As you log in to your 1Password account, you will be instantly rewarded with 1GB worth of storage space for your passwords and other sensitive details. In the case of Families and Business plans, you will gain access to the shared vault on top of the personal one. It is worth noting that you can share certain information from your vault with other 1Password users using a generated key. To ensure that you are in good hands, the access key is linked with the user's email address. You can even share with others who don't even use 1Password through Psst!, which stands for "Password Secure Sharing Tool."
1Password's Travel Mode feature is a great option for anyone who travels a lot and wants to protect their data wherever they go. This is a great tool for whenever you want to hide sensitive parts of your information from customs officials while crossing borders. The process of immigration customs can vary from country to country, and some officials may require to request access to any of the devices you're carrying. You can choose which vault you want to access through Travel Mode.
Only vaults marked as safe for travel will be visible when you turn on Travel Mode in your web account. Other vaults left unmarked will remain hidden until the feature is disabled. Travel Mode can be accessed on all plans; for business plans, however, the administrative user may opt to control it on their employees' accounts through their dashboard.
1PasswordX is 1Password's web browser version on PCs. It includes a browser extension that can access 1Password through Google Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge. Its design and interface are simple and more user-friendly compared to other password management extensions available. It's also made auto-filing and auto-saving log-in credentials a breeze to handle with!
To auto-file your Facebook login, click the 1Password icon in the log-in field. Select any saved information to gain access. Through 1Password X's browser extension, you can select between your recorded identities as well as credit card credentials and apply them whenever and wherever necessary. It also allows you to create a new password right on the spot.
With just one click, the extension's integrated password generator makes it easy to create a strong and optimized password. With it, you have the option to generate a Smart Password designed to strengthen the security of your account. A Smart Password usually consists of 20 characters, with a mix of numbers, letters, and symbols in between.
1Password integrates with the third-party payment app Privacy, allowing you to set up what is called Privacy Cards. Privacy Cards are virtual payment cards that protect and store your debit card information when you buy an item or service online. What they usually do whenever you make a purchase is to replace your actual debit card number with a different set of generated numbers. This tool ensures none of your card information is compromised in an event of a data breach, thanks to a combination of advanced payment security features.
Privacy Cards are simple, easy to use, and flexible. Each card can be given a unique nickname to personalize it. You can utilize the single-use option, and also set a spending limit on one of your cards – this feature, in particular, may come in very handy if you're signing up for a free trial without worrying about canceling auto-renewal. While Privacy Cards are useful in managing online payments, take note that this tool is only available for 1Password and Privacy users in the U.S. They also do not support credit cards. 1Password Web
Apart from the key features we've just covered, there are other notable ones that you may want to explore upon using 1Password to protect your data. One of those is the clipboard clearing feature, which allows you to set a timer for the software to automatically erase contents from your clipboard, including your passwords. This is done to protect them from hackers and scammers.
Aside from the home-use tiers, 1Password's other two plans contain business-optimized security and management tools for business-minded groups and establishments. The 1Password Business package, costing $7.99 every month, includes an upgraded 5GB of file storage per person, activity reports, VIP support, and an allowance of up to 20 guest accounts.
1Password Teams, meanwhile, offers valuable advanced features for a valuable price of $19.95. It may sound a lot, but it's highly suited for expert business teams with up to 10 members. This tier is packed with all the tools found in all of 1Password's previous plans, plus administrative controls over employees, integrations with Duo for a much more advanced two-factor authentication, and unlimited shared vaults and item storage. Additionally, each of its enrolled members automatically gets a free 1Password Families account. 1Password Web
1Password makes it easier to import password and log-in data. You have the option to import some from other 1Password accounts, or from external password managers like LastPass and Dashlane. This process will require you to use CSV files. Although it may seem less secure, the plain text file is easier to copy.
It would have been nicer, though, if 1Password provides its users a wider range of safer import options to transfer data from other password managers. It's simple to enter your password data in the same way that you export them. Everything is stored using AES 256-bit encryption, so you can rest assured that they're safe from any pesky activity. You can also use 1Password's multifactor authentication features to protect your access.
You will need a master password in order to access all of your passwords stored online. Take note that, when crafting a master password, it must be both easy for you to remember and hard for others to get through. Once you log in with it, you will be greeted with a Secret Key, which will serve as important when you add in a new device or browser extension.
It is impossible to overstate the excellent performance of 1Password on all its compatible devices. Its Windows program, for instance, supports passwords acquired through the Windows Hello biometric system to ease up the process of opening the user's computer. On macOS, meanwhile, you can unlock your vault with the help of the Face ID from your iPhone or even your Apple Watch.
The app setup is easy and quick. You'll only need to scan the QR code found in the Emergency Kit PDF and the My Profile section of the website. 1Password Web
1Password users can reach its customer support team and resources team at any time. You get to choose between the three options when it comes to asking for inquiries: e-mail support, its official Twitter account, and the 1Password Support forum. All these, combined, make up for a decent yet more reliable service. For example, the e-mail support can provide you with helpful answers to your questions in a friendly tone. The support forum, on the other hand, is more active and can answer more than 100 questions per day.
Overall, 1Password's slew of features are remarkably well-organized, all of which focus strongly on security for the user against any suspicious online activity. They also happen to work exactly as promised! Sure, it may not offer a few tools that may have otherwise been worthy additions, such as extra import options and live chat support, but it's easy to use – an important factor a perfect password manager should have. 1Password Web
FAQ 1Password Web
1Password or any other password manager can help you store and organize all your log-in details and passwords without extra hassles. You only need to have a master password to access them. If you happen to be forgetful or use the same password iteration across different accounts, a password manager may be the best solution. 1Password Web

One of my clients, Trevethan Gin, are currently featured in GQ's "13 coolest things in the world this week"
Trevethan Gin is a quality handmade gin created using a traditional family recipe perfected in the 1920s.
Each batch is expertly hand-crafted in a traditional Copper-Alembic still - exactly as it was first crafted by its creator Norman Trevethan. From the charging of the still, the measuring of the botanicals, right the way through to the filling and labelling of our bottles… it is done with love, care and their own bare hands to create a world class drink that goes as well in a G&T as it does in a Gin Martini.
I created the brand, custom typography, packaging design and website for Trevethan Distillery.

Universities Wales Weekly Wrap Up 26 September 2014
26 Sep 2014 by Universities Wales
News – Universities Wales – relaunch
This week, HEW relaunched as 'Universities Wales'. A range of activities were deployed to publicise the relaunch. This included a press release, a stand in the Senedd, hard copy packs posted to AMs, MPs and MEPs, and social media activity. New website address – www.uniswales.ac.uk.
News – REF impact case studies to be analysed
On 22 September 2014, the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) announced that a new project will analyse the wider impact of the research undertaken by UK universities. The analysis, commissioned by HEFCE and others, will draw on the 6,975 impact case studies submitted to the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF). Digital Science, a division of Macmillan Science & Education, will undertake the project. Further details are available on HEFCE's website.
News – Delegation Brazilian Pro-Vice Chancellors International
On the 22 and 23 September 2014 Universities Wales and British Council Wales welcomed a delegation Brazilian Pro-Vice Chancellors International to Wales. The delegation represented all members of FAUBAI, the Brazilian Association of International Education. Wales was the first stop in a four-part tour of the UK, with the delegation visiting Northern Ireland, England and Scotland during the course of this week. Read the story here.
Report – Worrying Trends in International Student Recruitment
Universities UK have published a report this week looking at the latest trends in international student recruitment to UK universities. Following a decline in the number of overseas students in the UK over the last two years, the report reveals some signs of growth, but continued problems in terms of demand from India. Official figures have shown that the UK higher education sector as a whole experienced two consecutive years of falling overseas entrants, in both 2011–12 and 2012–13. The number of Indian students commencing courses in the UK almost halved in two years, and the number of international entrants to STEM courses fell by 10%, with postgraduate taught courses being particularly affected. The full report can be accessed here.
Publication – Curriculum for Excellence – Changes in the Scottish school education system
Universities Scotland (US) has published a paper aimed at universities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, around changes in the Scottish school education system called Curriculum for Excellence. These changes include the introduction of new qualifications, but also different ways of learning and teaching and may result in pupils presenting with different patterns of qualifications. This document will be a useful resource for universities with applicants from Scotland to understand these changes because they will have implications for admissions. US has set out what it sees as the implications in the paper and given some further resources, including a list of statements on Curriculum for Excellence and admissions from each of its members. You can find the paper here: http://www.universities-scotland.ac.uk/uploads/briefings/CfEH%20Final.pdf
US is happy to answer any questions (see the paper for contact details), as is the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), John Lewis (John.Lewis@sqa.org.uk).

Наум Андреевич Урхи (, деревня Ефремкасы, Аликовская волость, Ядринский уезд, Казанская губерния — , ) — советский чувашский , исследователь чувашского языка, .
Заслуженный работник культуры Чувашской АССР (1966).

Биография
Родился в семье крестьянина-бедняка. Рано лишившись матери и отца, пошёл в подпаски и работал по найму.

В 1903 году поступил в Аликовское двуклассное училище. Мечта получить образование и стать учителем привела его в город Симбирск, где попытался поступить в чувашскую школу к И. Я. Яковлеву. Однако ему было уже восемнадцать лет, а в школу принимали только четырнадцатилетних. Работая в столярной мастерской при Чувашской учительской школе, Н. Андреев в 1913 году в 1-й Симбирской гимназии экстерном сдал экзамены на звание учителя. С началом империалистической войны был призван в действующую армию.

После Великой Октябрьской социалистической революции работал в Комиссариате по чувашским делам при Казанском губисполкоме и в редакции журнала «Сереслекен» («Земледелец»). Его статьи печатаются в чувашских изданиях. Первые публикации связаны с практическими нуждами зарождающегося нового социально-экономического уклада, с его культурой, литературой и языком.

В 1920 году, после образования Чувашской автономной области переехал в Чебоксары, где работал в переводческом отделе, а затем сотрудником редакции чувашских газет и журналов, редактором Чувашского книжного издательства. Одновременно он заочно учился в Чувашском педагогическом институте.

С 1940 по 1943 год работал в Президиуме Верховного Совета Чувашской АССР, а затем в секторе языка Чувашского научно-исследовательского института, вплоть до выхода в 1967 на пенсию.

Скончался Н. А. Андреев 1 сентября 1984 года.

Научная деятельность
Необычайно широк диапазон научных интересов Н. А. Андреева. Он — лингвист, фольклорист, литературовед, лексикограф. Среди его многочисленных работ такие монографические исследования, «Стилистика чувашского языка» в трех книгах «Лексикография чувашского языка», заложившие основу научного изучения стилистики и лексикологии чувашского языка.

Его исследования именных частей речи вошли в книгу «Материалы по грамматике современного чувашского языка», а высказанные им идеи об использовании словообразовательных аффиксов для нужд современного чувашского языка не потеряли своей актуальности и поныне.

Он оставил ценные работы по истории чувашского языка и исторической лексикологии. Им создано несколько терминологических словарей, а также много терминов по астрономии, ботанике, зоологии, географии, которые прочно вошли в школьные учебники и, следовательно, обогатили современный чувашский язык.

Он также плодотворно работал как переводчик художественной литературы. Общественно-политической, сельскохозяйственной, научно-популярной и детской литературы и как составитель школьных учебников и пособий.

Заметным вкладом в чувашскую литературу явился его перевод на чувашский язык «Фауста» Гёте, опубликованный в 1979 году. Начав эту работу в молодые годы, он завершил её в восьмидесятилетнем возрасте. Этот перевод был отмечен и зарубежной прессой.

В 1970–80 А. разрабатывал проблемы ирано-чувашских этнокультурных и языковых связей.

Наум Урхи принадлежал к числу видных чувашских языковедов, научные интересы которого были более всего связаны с историей, лексикологией, грамматикой и стилистикой чувашского языка.

Награды и премии
Ветеран труда. Награждён Почетной грамотой Президиума Верховного Совета Чувашской АССР, занесен в городскую Юбилейную книгу Почета Чебоксар за достигнутые успехи в труде, ему присвоено почетное звание заслуженного работника культуры Чувашской АССР за достигнутые успехи в книжно-журнальной работе.
