In Grandmas On the Camino, author Mary OHara Wyman, a 72 year old grandmother from San Francisco, relates her 2010 adventures walking 500 miles alone as a pilgrim on the Camino Frances. Her journey takes her from St. Jean Pied de Port in France, across the Pyrenees to Spain, then westward to the ancient spiritual destination of Santiago de Compostela. Through back-home reflections based on journal entries and postcards sent to her grand daughter, Mary describes engaging encounters with pilgrims of all ages and motivations, close-range observations of numerous animals on the trails, and the daily tasks of finding food and a bed each evening. Readers will gain keen insight into the physical day to day rigors facing a walking pilgrim, as Mary endured several falls on the trails, a serious foot injury, copious rain, mud and unseasonal cold and hot weather. Grandmas On the Camino will inspire pilgrims and armchair readers of any age with Marys adventures and coping mechanisms, calmness under pressure, humorous outlook on life and truly spiritual approach to walking the Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela. You will walk as a pilgrim with Mary through every word in the book.


Taken around 3am in the kitchen in Hartwick, NY using a motion detected security camera. There was a strong sweet rotting smell and sounds of scraping across tile floors. Dog urinated itself in fear when he was forcibly dragged in and cats will avoid the kitchen. Sometimes loud sounds like smacking lips or licking is heard. Extreme hot and cold spots that roam. Furniture can be heard being moved and tossed at night. Note the odd feet.
This is one of the creepiest pictures I have seen! Whatever it is I would hate to see it in real life.Reminds me of Cousin It!!
Wow! That is interesting! Maybe native american!? Not sure but pray for that house!

Essay on 3 absolute monarchs: Louis XIV, Peter the Great, Frederick the Great
Topics: Louis XIV of France, Absolute monarchy, Palace of Versailles Pages: 3 (797 words) Published: February 4, 2007
From 1638-1786, there were three absolute monarchs. Louis XIV, the sun king, built a splendid court at Versailles where he looked over the nobles. Peter the Great, the westernizer, changed Russia from a backward country into a great power. Finally, Frederick the Great, the enlightened despot, was full of tolerance and restraint and had good views on government. He improved Prussia many ways.
Louis XIV increased his revenue by taxing, improving trade and commerce, and gave favors to the middle class for money. First, he appointed Colbert as his Minister of Finance. There were taxes such as taille (land tax), aides and douanes (customs duties), and gabelle (salt tax). Louis spent this money on his wars. Colbert used this money for strengthening the country of France. Second, he abolished corrupt ways of collecting taxes and removed useless offices to increase the king's revenue. Furthermore, Colbert improved trade and commerce using the mercantile system, which was a method of commercial warfare. Colbert also established French trading companies. He thought that France did not need to buy things from other countries by making colonies of its own. Furthermore, he regulated guilds by checking the quality of the products that they make. Another way Louis increased his revenue was by giving titles, appointing offices, and arranging marriages to the middle class. They were willing to pay for all of these rewards.
Louis controlled his nobles by building a splendid court at Versailles. At Versailles, the "king provided amusements for them, and here he could keep his eye on them." The only favors Louis could give to the nobles were to assign offices, arrange marriages for their children and give pensions. However, this was not enough to distribute to all the nobles. St. Simon states, "He sensed that he lacked by far enough favors.... Therefore he substituted imaginary favors for real ones...." Louis created simple tasks like holding the candlestick into an honor....

Louis XIV: Absolute Monarch Essay
...Louis XIV "L'Etat, c'est moi." Louis is the embodiment of an absolute monarch. He is the chief example of absolutism throughout the second half of the 17th century. Greed is defined in the dictionary as selfish and grasping desire for possession; especially of wealth for one self's benefit. It is also described as a noun. This definition can be directly related and best describes Louis XIV, the king of France in the sixteen hundreds. Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, was not indeed such a good king for France. The reign of Louis XIV was hurtful in many ways to France and its people. Louis XIV financially destroyed France by doing things that he thought would help but just hurt France in the long run. Louis was constantly at war with other countries, which not only hurt France financially, because wars were very expensive during that time, but it also depleted France's once massive army. He also persecuted the Huguenots causing fifty thousand of them to flee from France, many of them skilled and very well educated; important assets to France's society and development. It seemed as if the way Louis XIV ruled France was to mainly help/ please himself. The effects of his greed can be seen destroying people's lives in the beginning of...

Louis Xiv and Peter the Great Essay
...Research Essay Absolute rulers like Louis xiv and Peter the Great strengthened there countries butweakened them economically. They made great improvements to the armies and social aspects of the kingdom. But when they were improving all of these things it ended up costing them a great deal of money. Was it good to have a great army and government if everyone had no money? Absolutism is a political theory holding that all power should bevested in one ruler or other authority. Both Louis xiv and Peter the Great considered themselves to be absolute rulers and they had divine right. Louis xiv changed France in many ways. He helped and hurt the growing nation. In order to become a true absolute ruler Louis xiv needed to make sure that ll the power was contained in himself. So he did a very clever thing, he took the nobles power out of the government. And to make sure they didn't realize that their power was being taken away slowly he gave them positions in the army (doc.7). This now made france a true absolute monarchy. All the power was now in louis xiv. He made all the decisions and no one could stop or disagree...

Essay about Louis Xiv vs. Peter the Great
...and 17th centuries, times of great change, were lived through by some of the most influential leaders known today. Two of which were Louis XIV and Peter the Great. These monarchs, different as the separate continents they lived on, shared only minor similarities such as absolutism and territorial expansion. Louis XIV was for the flair, fun, and fancy, focusing on the fact that he was the 'sun' of France. A patron of the arts, Louis' policies mainly focused on improving his own social standing and power over his nobility, making sure they were all wrapped around his little finger. He let Colbert and Mazarin do the rest. One of Louis' main goals was to bear whiteness or be the cause of the destruction of the Hapsburgs who were now declining in power. Louis also made sure that the church of France didn't mess with his idea of divine right, bullying anyone who stood out against it by throwing them in jail or killing them. Another difference between the two monarchs was the state of the nobility. Louis' French nobles inherited titles based on their family and their money. Peter the Great's Russia had a few of the same bases but the two monarchs themselves were completely different. Like Louis, Peter had nobility called Junkers, but unlike...
Louis XIV vs. Peter the Great Essay
... Louis XIV was a Bourbon monarch who ruled as the king of both France and Navarre with one of the longest reigns in European history with a span of over 72 years starting from when he was five years old. On the other hand, Peter the Great was a leader who ruled the Russian Empire and steered the Tsardom into becoming a huge empire which became a major European power. The efforts of Louis XIV and Peter the Great to gain absolute control over their respective countries were strikingly similar, yet had few differences as they each used forms of political, religious, and societal advantages towards national domination. Louis XIV and Peter were similar in the way they used political strategies for gain. For example, they manipulated the nobility in a way in which they were under complete control which was evident in how Louis enticed nobles with his castle at Versailles and Peter's founding of St. Petersburg. Also, Louis ruled through councils that controlled foreign affairs, the army, domestic administration, and economic regulations just as Peter reorganized his domestic administration to sustain his own personal authority and fight rampant corruption by creating eight colleges to oversee the collection of taxes, foreign relations, war, and economic...
The Absolute Monarch of Louis Xiv Essay
...The Absolute Monarch of Louis XIV absolutism - a form of government in which all power is vested in a single ruler or other authority The Sun King, Louis XIV of France, inherited the throne upon his father's death in 1643. Only 5 years old and by law too young to rule, his mother Anne of Austria became Queen Regent and appointed Cardinal Mazarin as chief minister. Louis' mother instilled in him at a young age the concept of divine right of the king to do what he chooses. Mazarin proved to be a crucial figure in Louis XIV's life, teaching not only of European policy and the secrets of state, but also of splendor and the power of imagery. Louis' obsession with a luxurious lifestyle and a glamorous court life led to his eventual downfall. In 1661, Louis XIV's mentor and surrogate father, Cardinal Mazarin, died. This marked a turning point in Louis' reign, when he banished all members of nobility from the king's council. He insured that no new chief minister would replace Mazarin. He claimed absolute power over France and was vigilant of any challenge on his authority. Louis XIV's most infamous course of action was the building of Versailles. It would be an understatement to say that Louis spent a modern equivalent of billions of dollars on this project....
Who Was the Better Leader, Louis Xiv or Peter the Great? Essay
...CHY 4U RESEARCH ESSAY October 10, 2012 Who was the better leader, Louis XIV or Peter the Great? ---A Better France Under the Rule of Sun King: Louis XIV Louis XIV and Peter the Great were two of the most famous absolutism monarchs in Europe. In my point of view Louis XIV did a better job as a leader. In the 17th century the Europe world entered the age of absolutism. After the religious wars, most European people put their attentions back from the wars and more focused on their own life. At that time, nobles and kings of European countries get more power in managing people. And monarchs' power and rights reached to the top stage as they claimed to rule by divine will. Louis XIV and Peter the great became absolutism monarchs because of different reasons. Louis XIV inherited absolutism from his father Louis XIII but not created absolutism, in another word Louis XIV was forced to become the monarch of France because of his blood.【idea: Louis was born to be the lord】 There had a lot of similarities between Louis XIV and Peter the Great...
The Great Gatsby Essay
...The Great Gatsby Essay Maddie Heap Period 8B The Great Gatsby is a brilliant novelization about two very different men who make acquaintances under the circumstances of love. Nick Carraway is a cousin with Daisy Buchannan, the woman with whom Jay Gatsby has been madly in love with for the past 5 years. He has done nothing but throw rich and extravagant parties in his colossal mansion that he purchased just to get her attention. But she never made an appearance. If Gatsby could have anyone in the world, it would be her, no questions asked. This book reminds me all too much of a song called "Pick and Choose" by Stepdad. They both are about a man wanting a certain woman more than anything in the world, but she always has an excuse to turn the other way. In the first verse of Pick and Choose, the lyrics say, "If I could pick, could pick and choose, I'd choose you its old news. If I could pick, could pick and choose, I'd pick you, yeah, I can't lose." (1-6) This to me is how Gatsby feels towards Daisy. For 5 years all he ever wanted was she. She was his missing piece. With Daisy, he would be complete. Gatsby was a man with great wealth and everyone knew his name. He would not have the slightest trouble in finding another woman. But he did not care; he did not want just any another woman. Daisy was the one he "chose", just like the song says. Daisy Buchannan is the kind of woman who looks for security in a man. If...
Louis XIV Essay
...Louis XIV An absolute monarch is a ruler who governs alone and is not restrained by laws, or a constitution. Absolutism is the belief that one ruler should hold power within a country. This could be caused by war , religious conflicts, or simply people wanting stronger leaders or protection of some sort. This lead to limited spread of ideas and religious beliefs , also many changes in the economy such as taxes. This infact is the way Louis XIV governed. One may ask well how or what did he do to achieve this power of absolution? Well for starters we could say he centralized all justice, taxation and military powers under his own authority, took personal control of whatever he bothered about, further weakened the aristocracy by forcing them to attend his court and yes the list does continue. King Louis was the perfect example of an absolute monarch meaning he ruled his country, France, as he pleased, entirely under his control. Louis XIV ruled during time of great power, prosperity and glory. His reign had a lasting impact indeed, positive and negative. It was aid that he was called the sun king. This had to say something about the fellow. Well Louis actually chose the sun as his symbol implying that the world revolved around him therefore becoming known as the sun king. He retained...

Christmas Events at the Dickens Museum
"It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour." - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
Christmas is approaching, and to celebrate the up and coming festive season the Dickens Museum in Camden is hosting a series of fantastic events related to the famous novel and its author. Join LoveCamden for a costumed walk past landmarks in Victorian history, readings of A Christmas Carol, or an amazing Christmas performance on Christmas Eve at Dickens' house! Get into the Christmas spirit at the Dickens Museum!
1. Christmas Walks
"For again Scrooge saw himself. He was older now, a man in the prime of life. His face had not the harsh and rigid lines of later years, but it had begun to wear the signs of care and avarice. There was an eager, greedy, restless motion in the eye, which showed the passion that had taken root, and where the shadow of the growing tree would fall." - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
Join the Dickens Museum on a costumed tour through the historic city, and imagine yourself as a character in the famous novel as you visit the sites believed to have inspired Dickens to write his story.
2. A Christmas Carol performed by Dominic Gerrard
"It is required of every man," the ghost returned, "that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide; and, if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death." - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
Join the Dickens Museum for an exclusive, candle-lit one-man performance of A Christmas Carol, by actor Dominic Gerrard.
3. A Christmas Carol with Professor Michael Slater
"I will live in the past, the present, and the future. The spirits of all three shall strive within me." - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
The great professor Michael Slater MBE returns to the Dickens Museum to bring the A Christmas Carol to the public. Famous for his readings, this is a performance you cannot miss!
4. Christmas by Candlelight
"There was nothing very cheerful in the climate or the town, and yet was there an air of cheerfulness abroad that the clearest summer air and brightest summer sun might have endeavoured to diffuse in vain." - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
Dickens was a great fan of candlelight, so to stay true to the nature of the conditions his work was created in, the Dickens Museum will host an evening during which Dickens' house will be completely lit by candlelight – just like in the olden days!
5. Christmas Housemaid's Tour
"Come in, -- come in! and know me better, man! I am the Ghost of Christmas Present. Look upon me! You have never seen the like of me before!" - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

6. Another Christmas Carol: Christmas Eve
"I don't know what to do!" cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath; and making a perfect Laocoön of himself with his stockings. "I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A merry Christmas to every-body! A happy New Year to all the world! Hallo here! Whoop! Hallo!" - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
On Christmas Eve, Equapoise Theatre proudly presents Another Christmas Carol: an immersive theatre production that takes up Dicken's house as its stage. Spreading out over all the floors of the house, this is the Christmas event of the year!

These funny and frantic billboards for Animal Practice immediately convey the theme of the comedy about a bustling New York City animal hospital.
They say never work with children or animals, so at least one out of the two is better than none at all.
Justin Kirk stars as unorthodox vet 'Dr. George Coleman' who has a way with animals of all kinds, except humans. Enter his ex-girlfriend 'Dorothy Crane' (JoAnna Garcia Swisher) who has just inherited this family business and is now his boss. Add a smattering of support doctors and technicians, plus ill and injured animals (of course pretending to be sick) and let hilarity ensue (hopefully).
These Animal Practice series premiere billboards were spotted around the streets of L.A. and New York City.
The Los Angeles based ads were snapped along Melrose Avenue and Sunset Boulevard on August 30 and September 14 respectively, whilst the New York billboard was snapped near Times Square at West 50th and 7th Avenue on August 28, 2012.
It may be 'quite an operation', but let's hope that no animals were harmed in the making of this new show (Daily Billboard isn't so worried about the humans).


You may have noticed that we've been obsessed with chia puddings lately – especially this strawberry rhubarb version. Recently, we've been trying to create a chia pudding recipe with our all-time favourite food: avocado. Why not make a good thing great?
The results: we nailed it. This avocado chia pudding recipe, when mixed in with some chocolate, combines the best of all worlds. This chocolate avocado chia pudding recipe is an ideal summer dessert for when you're craving some chocolate but want something chilled (that isn't chocolate ice cream). Enjoy it post-barbecue for a refreshing yet satisfying evening treat.
Bonus for all you keto-dieters out there: this recipe is keto! Another bonus for all you vegans out there: it's vegan too. Since the vegan keto diet is one of the most restrictive, this is a double whammy. And if you're not keto or vegan? Don't worry, it's heavenly either way.
*This recipe serves 8, so unless you're serving a big group, you may have lots leftover. It should last for about 3-4 days in the fridge, so you can enjoy it for breakfast too. Alternatively, feel free to halve it for lesser amounts.
Sweetener to taste. We like about ½ – 3/4 cup of maple syrup, or honey if not vegan. For you keto-ers, use Stevia to taste. About 1-2 tsp should work well.
Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender. As opposed to mixing the chia seeds in with a spoon, blending it makes for a smoother, less seedy pudding.
Blend until silky, which could take a few minutes. Be aware that you may need to stop and mix your pudding a few times throughout.
Once blended, split pudding into separate cups and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to cool and thicken.
When ready to serve, sprinkle with chopped nuts or shredded coconut.

Sometimes, you just need syns in your life! Why not give yourself a treat meal that only uses up 4 of your daily syns? This delicious Slimming World-friendly meal of salmon, Moroccan inspired cous cous and salad gives you the exotic taste mix you've been craving, without the guilt of really cheating your diet.
The syns in this meal come from the dried cranberries and raisins added to the cous cous for the Moroccan vibes.

This is an easy weeknight dinner that feels like a gourmet treat – and it's only 4 syns!
Put salmon on a foiled baking tray and cook for 20 minutes at 200°C.
While the salmon is cooking finely chop the red pepper and red onion and cook on a high heat in a frying pan, using low calorie cooking spray to stop them from sticking to the pan.
Add the dried cous cous to a heat-proof bowl and throw in the dried cranberries, dried sultanas, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander and cinnamon and stir round.
Once the cous cous and red pepper and red onion is done, add the cous cous to the frying pan, keep on a medium heat and stir around. Keep warm in the pan if it's ready before the salmon.
Once the salmon is ready, place on a plate with the cous cous, add mixed leaf salad and sliced steamed beetroot and enjoy!

(from Rabat) – Finding Al Mowafaqa Ecumenical Institute of Theology in Avenue de Chellah is not an easy task. It's hidden beneath the shadow of a hotel, accessible through a small, unremarkable black gate. The only way to find it is not to rely on "Google maps" nor on people's directions, but to ask small groups of smiling, Christian students arriving from adjacent streets. The Institute is a pilot project. A true gem of ecumenical and interreligious dialogue on African soil coordinated by Father Jean Koulagna, Lutheran Pastor from Cameroon. The Institute is attended by some forty students divided in two classes for the Theological licence along with a special course on "dialogue between cultures and religions", which issues a Certificate at the end of a 6-month course (from January 21 to May 31, with lessons every day, from Monday to Friday). They will be there to welcome Pope Francis in Rabat and will be present on March 30 on the occasion of the meeting of the Holy Father at the Mohammed IV Institute for the formation of Imams. The Papal visit continues Sunday 31st with a meeting with priests and consecrated men and women from Morocco in St. Peter's Cathedral, followed by the Holy Mass celebrated at the Moulay Abdellah sports stadium.
Burundi, Ethiopia, Niger, Senegal, Chad, Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of Congo. The courses are mostly attended by students of French-speaking Churches and of the sub-Saharan African region. Al Mowafaqa (that in Arabic means "agreement") is thus presented as an international university (with over 20 nationalities present), ecumenical (supported also financially by Catholics and Protestants) and in dialogue with Islam and Moroccan culture. It's a space for the advancement of encounter, not a theological faculty like many others but one of a kind. Another strength of the Institute is the surrounding Muslim context since "in minority situations Christians are called by need to bear witness together" and the formation proposed in an academic environment can facilitate experiencing Muslim life in full. Here dialogue is taught in classrooms and is put into practice in everyday life, with programs of visits and meetings at local level. Moreover, Morocco is at the crossroads of Europe, Africa and the Arab world, and as such it faces problems characterising the contemporary world also at cultural level: North/South relations, (rich and poor Countries; migratory flows); interreligious coexistence; changing societies.

It's 2 a.m. Do you know where your workers are?
The day before the first big snow of the season, the question on many people's minds in Massachusetts wasn't how many inches would fall, but how many snowplow drivers might sit idle. Contractors were locked in a battle with the state highway department. The sticking point: a new requirement that they take GPS cellphones along on their routes.
The phones - equipped to track location through a series of satellites known as the Global Positioning System - let highway staff monitor plowers' time on the job and whether they are driving at the optimal speed for laying down salt. Officials estimate the improved efficiency will save about $1.7 million a year.
Hundreds of plowers protested by sending the phones back. If they made mistakes logging their time on the phones, they worried, they'd lose out on pay. And they resented the implication that they waste tax dollars. People were saying, " 'It's time that these guys ... got out of the coffee shops,' " complains Fred Nava, a veteran plow driver from Kingston, Mass. "That is a slap in anybody's face."
Just before the snow fell on Dec. 5, contractors agreed to use the phones on a trial basis. But from the highway department's vantage point - one shared by a growing cadre of employers - there's no turning back from GPS.
Whether they're dispatching a fleet of garbage trucks or a team of bail-bond collectors, managers love the idea of knowing where their "assets" are. They can coordinate routes that arebased upon traffic data, offer customers a narrower time frame for delivery, and, yes, make sure mobile employees are actually on the job when they're supposed to be. The popularity of GPS in the workplace parallels its growth in the consumer realm: By 2006, according to some estimates, 4 out of 5 new vehicles will come equipped with the technology.
For workers, GPS can add convenience and security. But as the plowers' protest shows, close tracking can put a dent in morale. Privacy experts warn that employees may not realize how much they can be tracked, especially if they use a company cellphone or a vehicle with GPS during personal time.
"You can start with the assumption that a certain amount of surveillance is necessary ... but the question really becomes, when does it go too far?" says Frederick Lane, author of "The Naked Employee: How Technology Is Compromising Workplace Privacy." Public discussions of GPS and other monitoring tools aren't keeping pace, he says, "and in the hands of some managers - who are very concerned about efficiencies and profits and so forth - it becomes more punitive than helpful."
Mr. Lane suggests that a boss might jump to conclusions if employees stop at a hospital or a family-planning clinic during lunch hour. Or that workers will face pressure to take fewer bathroom breaks. If GPS is misused, mobile employees may feel trapped in a type of high-tech sweatshop.
UPS workers in the Teamsters union negotiated last year to make sure GPS data wouldn't be used in evaluations. But such protective efforts are rare. "Unions have not felt they've been in a position to fight this ... when they're really fighting over jobs and working conditions," Lane says. "But stuff is creeping into the workplace that unions really would object to if they had time."
Companies that sell mobile-resource management (MRM) technology counter that education and privacy policies would put workers at ease. "When sales groups were [first] deployed with pagers [and later, cellphones], they were out in the field thinking ... 'My boss can call me at any time and he expects me to call him back!' Now we wouldn't dream of working without them," says J.D. Fay, vice president of corporate affairs for At Road Inc. in Fremont, Calif.
Cable installers, construction crews, and school-bus fleets are among the 117,000 subscribers of At Road's MRM services. For about $40 a month, At Road provides a real-time view of vehicle locations and other data over a secure Internet site. In client testimonials, a landscaping company reported saving $300 a week, and a bail-bond collector said his employees feel better being tracked because they carry cash.
Right now, restrictions on the uses of GPS technology are up to each company. Despite some congressional attempts in recent years, no federal laws protect workers' privacy in this realm.
Mr. Sovocool also urges employers to inform their staffs how they are being monitored and for what purpose, and then to stay within those boundaries.
GPS is spreading fast and is being heavily marketed to businesses, experts say. Lane cites estimates that by 2006, it will be at least a $34 billion industry. Like most technology, GPS has been getting smaller and cheaper. Units that are mounted in trucks can cost more than $2,000. But a 1999 federal law required cellphonemakers to phase in GPS to help emergency crews respond to 911 calls. The phones given to Massachusetts snowplowers - built for extreme weather conditions - cost the state just $90 each.
Privacy advocates hint at what's to come by pointing to cases in the consumer and workplace realms. A rental-car company in Connecticut, for instance, automatically withdrew money from customers' credit cards or bank accounts whenever its GPS-equipped cars exceeded 79 miles per hour. Eventually it was forced to stop because the practice violated state trade regulations.
In another case, cited in Lane's book, a transit-system employee had an ID card that doubled as a transit pass - and the locations and times of his rides were used against him in a murder trial.
Other experts argue that laws will catch up: "[As] these technologies become more widespread and more powerful, there will be people who will [push for] regulation to limit the power of the employer to use the technology in a way that's inappropriate," Sovocool says.
Technology itself may provide a faster fix than would government. Entrepreneurs have already developed a sleeve that fits over various devices to block wireless signals.
For municipalities that use GPS to improve public services, the privacy concerns aren't persuasive. Charleston, S.C., reportedly saw a 20 percent decline in overtime after installing GPS devices on its garbage trucks this summer.
Aurora, Colo., has a longer track record, using GPS to track street sweepers since 1998. "Within the first six months, we saw a 15 percent increase in productivity," says project engineer Lynne Center. The main goal had been to measure how many more workers were needed to keep up with population growth, but Ms. Center found that once they knew they were being monitored, they spent more time cleaning streets and less time at their base facility at the beginning and end of shifts.
The value of the GPS system was driven home to employees, she says, when a resident called to say a street sweeper had sideswiped his car. "We were able to prove that we didn't have street sweepers on that street that week," she says, so they easily avoided litigation.
Doug McKowen, who has operated street sweepers for 13 years, says the benefits of proving to complaining residents that work has been done outweigh having a boss look over his shoulder. Once, his manager questioned why the GPS system showed he was 15 minutes late after lunch. Mr. McKowen explained that he and his partner take walks during their breaks, and that day, they just had mistakenly walked too far.
"As far as Big Brother looking over you, of course it smacks of that," he says. "But if you're doing your job, you don't worry about that."
Would you let your employer track your location 24/7?

The small Ford Escape sport utility is one of the best-selling SUVs in the country for many years. The reason: its versatility, its modern and attractive style, its affordable price, and the multitude of versions and engines that meet the needs of all drivers. And it's no coincidence that the Ford Escape is also a leader in fuel economy, using Ecoboost engine technology.
The Ford Escape is the perfect match between the power and the low fuel consumption. Ecoboost's 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 179 horsepower, while its cousin's 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that features a twin-scroll turbo, boosts its power to some 245 horsepower. Both versions are paired with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. A third engine, 4 cylinders 2.5 liters, is offered only on the basic version S and offers 168 horses.
If you opt for a sport utility, it is usually because you want to maximize the practical side of the vehicle. From this point of view, the Ford Escape has nothing to envy to its competitors. Its cargo space is plentiful and its flat floor can accommodate some 1925 liters of cargo, once the 60/40 bench is completely folded. To access it, the optional electric tailgate activated by the foot allows an easy and effective opening. And the smart key let you keep your keychain in your pockets even to unlock the doors.

Universities 05 Aug 2021
Mixed picture on mandatory vaccines
By Pola Lem
Many governments and institutions in Europe are instead 'encouraging' take-up among students and staff
Compulsory jabs for university staff and students are not yet off the agenda in Europe, sector heads say, after cases of Covid-19 rose in many countries throughout the early summer.
With governments and universities thinking carefully about how to reopen campuses for the next academic year, some institutional and political leaders have been taking a hard line. Many universities in the United States are requiring on-campus staff and students to be vaccinated, while the UK government reportedly considered mandatory vaccination for students before changing course.
For now, few governments and institutions in Europe appear to be mandating vaccination. But approaches vary. Some institutions have more freedom than others and are not ruling out the move.
German law means it would be "impossible" for universities there to require vaccines at present, and the government has ruled out legal changes, said a spokesman for the University of Tübingen. "In this situation, we only have the opportunity to 'encourage' our colleagues and students to take the vaccination," he said.
A spokesperson for the VSNU, an association of 14 Dutch universities, said its institutions are "not yet legally able to demand vaccination of students or staff", but that the government is considering this. She said, in the meantime, universities are "doing everything we can to inform students and staff about vaccination and to make it as easy as possible to get their jabs".
Universities in other countries have more freedom. Clarisse Berthezène, the vice president of Université de Paris, said vaccination is not mandatory for students in France, but that institutions are not ruling it out: "It's difficult to know where this will go in September, depending on the way the pandemic evolves."
A spokesperson for Universities Finland, which represents all 15 Finnish universities, said it is "very unlikely" that universities would choose to mandate vaccinations. Instead, they are encouraging a number of safety measures, including social distancing and banning large in-person lectures.
Mandatory vaccination is illegal in Slovenia, but a spokesperson for the University of Ljubljana said that by September it is likely universities will only be allowed to open their campuses to people who have had Covid-19 and recovered, been fully vaccinated, or tested negative for the disease.
Romania's largest university, Babeș-Bolyai, is taking a similar approach for now. Online options will accommodate those who do not comply or prefer to study remotely, a spokesperson said.
But as the situation remains fluid, policies could change.

Last week, I was in full "let's-try-to-be-a-super-mom" mode. You'd think, by now, I would know it just ain't possible. But, yet, I try. Along the way, (usually when I start to feel I am way in over my head with paint projects, Pinterest craftiness, or sewing catastrophes) I realize just how far I've gone into unrealistic super-hero status. I start down a quaint and inviting path of creativity that eventually leads me into a jungle full of prowling lions of self-criticism, mocking monkeys of comparison, and howling hyenas of stress.
My most recent illusion of grandeur began with a trip to the WWII Commemorative Air Show with my three boys. (Yes, you added right, the hubs counted as a boy that day.) Gideon was in awe of the planes and propellers, and of course, all the big guns. So, when the soon-to-be birthday boy, who for the last two years has celebrated with an Easter Bunny Pirate Party (don't ask), requested to have planes instead, I jumped at the fresh idea. However, when I asked more details about his desires, I soon realized I was already further into the jungle than I thought. Not only did he want to have a WWII plane themed party, but he also wanted the Easter Bunny Pirate character to return, including Easter egg bombs and a Pirate treasure hunt adventure. Mercy.
So I took plenty pictures of the B-17 Flying Fortress from multiple angles, mentally planning how the metal beast could be replicated with edible sweets.
I took note of the bombers and where they sat and envisioned white chocolate pirate bunnies taking their positions with their chocolate guns.
I started perusing Pinterest for ideas.
Why do I do this? Why do I submit myself to these crazy ideas and plans?
For a few reasons: 1) I like the challenge. I am by nature a person who likes to express herself creatively. It is how God made me. And as a stay-at-home mother of four, whose responsibilities outside the home have changed since our relocation, I rarely have the opportunity to fully unleash my creative juices. 2) I love my kids. My heart overflowed when I witnessed my little boy struck with awe as the gust of wind from old plane propellors swept the hat off his head. If I can create a birthday celebration that generates even half of that excitement, it's worth it. 3) Pride. See, here's the nasty thing about being halfway good at anything: we somehow in the back of our hearts think we can earn favor or worth by being awesome at something. Because somewhere in the process of doing the task or making the speech or singing the song, we give ourselves credit for the abilities we have to accomplish whatever it is.
Have we worked hard? Probably. Have we studied? Likely. Have we practiced? Yep.
I can't speak for everybody, but here's where I think I go wrong: I start to assume that the beginning inklings of talent or skill that were planted in me by God are even my own doing. Proverbs 16:18 says, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Maybe this is why the night before the party, the airplane cracked in half down the middle and crushed the cake beneath.) However, Psalm 139:13 corrects me: "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb." He is the source of any good found within me.
Just like my fondant covered B-17 would be nothing without that one initial flake of Rice Krispie's Cereal with which it started, so is anything good that I can produce without the Father's design: NOTHING. It is a challenge, however, to maintain that solid footing in a slippery and treacherous jungle of pride. We somehow become disillusioned with our size and strength, feeling either invincible under the shade of the thick green canopy, or fearful of becoming prey for the larger and fiercer wildlife. We forget who we are. The truth is we are small, yet equipped. We lack control over our destiny, yet are empowered. We are not our own, yet heirs to an entire Kingdom.
When I focus on who I can become with all my hard work and fine-tuning, I forget who I already am. When I strive to grow my talents for my own accolades and affirmations, I actually diminish in maturity. Ephesians 4:15 says, "Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ." Rather than aiming for personal praise, we are to grow up in EVERY way into him who is the head: JESUS. Whatever we do, it should be done to grow closer to Him. This doesn't mean I stop challenging my creativity with icing and modeling chocolate. However, it does mean that when I find myself seeking the praise of others because of it, then I should stop. If I am discouraged because my efforts or talents aren't appreciated, then I need to glory in the joy the process brought me, and give thanks that Jesus gave me the desire for and enjoyment in such a task. To consider that He loves me enough to give me joy in such things…that draws me to Him!
Yeah…I'm not very good at that thinking either. But like all areas in which we seek to better ourselves, He is the source and genesis for all of our development, growth, and maturity. A more fervent trust in Him, greater satisfaction in His favor, and authentic humility in our hearts all start with a little flake of Holy Spirit planted in our inmost being. Like a mustard seed, it can be small, but He nourishes it and cultivates it into a great tree of beauty.
Jesus, may I end this week where I started in the womb, owing all my value, worth, and purpose to you. May I always be established in You. "For [Your] invisible attributes, namely, [Your] eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. [Including me.] So [I am] without excuse. For although [I have known] God, [I] did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but [I} became futile in [my} thinking, and [my] foolish heart [was] darkened. Claiming to be wise, [I] became [a] fool. (Romans 1:20-22)" Please forgive me and help me to walk forward in newness of life, recalling who I am because of You… only You. Produce good fruit in me that brings glory to Your namesake.
Angie, this is amazing! I admire your ability to translate these everyday experiences into meaningful lessons for life and eternity!

15 Best Things to Do in Vernon (CT)
On the east side of the Connecticut River Valley, the town of Vernon is only 15 minutes from Hartford via the I-84. But when you walk Vernon's trails it will seem impossible that a big city could ever be so close.
Arcing through the town, the Vernon Rails to Trails Park is a narrow strip of nature on the paved trackbed of a 19th-century railway.
There's also 19th-century heritage at Valley Falls Park, once the scene of a textile mill and now a place to wander, swim and relax in summer.
Another textile mill dating back more than two centuries houses the New England Motorcycle Museum, showing off some 200 bikes from 25 different brands.
Let's explore the best things to do in and around Vernon:
1. The Tower on Fox Hill
Source: illstudio / shutterstock
The Tower On Fox Hill
This octagonal Romanesque Revival tower stands at 22 metres in Rockville's Henry Park on the site of an earlier tower was here for a brief time in the late-1870s.
The replacement was a Works Progress Administration project during the Great Depression, constructed as a Vernon memorial for all wars.
Starring on Vernon's town seal, the Tower on Fox Hill is the highest man-made point in the town and commands knockout panoramas west over the Connecticut River Valley.
On the horizon Talcott Mountain, Mount Holyoke and Mount Tom on the Metacomet Ridge 20 miles away on the other side of the valley.
Leading to the tower is a ceremonious promenade 67 metres long with paved random flagstones.
2. Valley Falls Park

Valley Falls Park
Held as one of the loveliest town parks in the state, Valley Falls Park is a hilly, nature-rich escape for hiking, swimming and fishing.
There's a pond at the centre, set in deep woods and traced by a beach area patrolled by lifeguards in summer.
Opening out next to the beach is a grassy area where picnic tables sit under the cover of a gazebo.
The park also has a lot of history, as the site of a mill from colonial times until 1877 when the last building burnt down.
The foundations have been excavated and labelled with an interpretive plaque.
Disappearing off into the woods is a whole series of trails, ranging in difficulty and crossing streams, wetland, meadows and scenic lookouts.
3. New England Motorcycle Museum

New England Motorcycle Museum
Only opened in August 2018, the New England Motorcycle Museum has more than 100 motorcycles from over 25 different manufacturers.
It's the labor of love of lifelong enthusiast Ken Kaplan, who found the perfect venue at the abandoned Hockanum Mill, a textile factory.
This grand building was constructed back in the 1810s and has been sympathetically restored and is flooded with natural light.
There's an entire floor dedicated to Harley Davidsons, and another just for dirt bikes.
Some of the many brands on show are Indian, Triumph, BMW, Rokon, Honda, Kawasaki, all combined with memorabilia for famous motorcycling events and personalities, and a staggering archive of motorcycle magazines.
When we compiled this list in summer 2019 a restaurant, bar and microbrewery were in the pipeline.
4. Vernon Rails to Trails Park
In Vernon nine miles of tree-tunnelled railroad lines have been converted into greenways for hiking, cycling, jogging, horseback riding and cross-country skiing.
The main 5.1-mile trail begins at the Vernon-Manchester town line and curls east towards Bolton on the trackbed of the old Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad, laid down in the middle of the 19th century.
The path is part of the 21-mile Hop River Linear Park Trail that extends from Manchester to Willimantic and has trail maps in Vernon at the Church Street and Tunnel Road parking lots.
The trail grazes Valley Falls Park, and at Warren Avenue you can join the Rockville Spur, which shoots off to the north for 4.1 miles on the course of an old industrial line laid down in 1862.
5. Spare Time Entertainment Vernon

Spare Time Entertainment Vernon
Parents with restless teenagers or anyone in need of inspiration for a night out with friends should look into this entertainment centre, part of a chain with locations around the United States.
The anchor at the Vernon branch is the 25-lane bowling alley, with five lanes reserved in a special VIP area.
There's a 370-square-metre laser tag arena with ambient music, LED lighting, fog and other special effects, while the centre's arcade has more than 80 state-of-the-art machines.
From 15:00 to closing time on Tuesdays there's 50% off laser tag and all arcade games.
6. New England Civil War Museum
Source: New England Civil War Museum / facebook
New England Civil War Museum
One of the head-turning buildings in the picture perfect centre of Rockville is the former Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Hall, constructed in 1890 for Union Army veterans from the Civil War.
The GAR's Thomas F.
Burpee Post #71 met here until 1934, and their heir, Alden Skinner Camp #45 of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, continue to meet once a month.
This makes it the oldest GAR building to be in continuous use.
The free museum, open once a week on Sundays, has been around since the hall was built, but was only officially recognised in the 1990s.
There's much to delve into, like authentic rifles, muskets and swords, as well as a diary kept by a member of the 56th Massachusetts Regiment, wartime correspondence, an extensive library and historic GAR uniforms.
7. Connecticut Parachutists Inc.

Connecticut Parachutists Inc.
A little way up from Rockville is Ellington Airport, one of two Connecticut airports certified as a parachute jump zone.
If it's something you've been hoping to tick off, you could try Connecticut Parachutists Inc.
for your first skydive.
You won't need any skydiving experience to take part in a tandem jump, leaping from a plane at 4,300 metres.
If you're in luck with the weather you'll be able to see as far as Long Island Sound and can trace the Connecticut River down to Hartford.
For a memento you can pick from a range of video packages, and can even be joined on the jump by a professional freefall photographer.
8. Aussakita Acres Farm
Source: Aussakita Acres Farm / facebook
Aussakita Acres Farm
A great idea for families with children aged ten and up, Aussakita Acres Farm is open by appointment from April to mid-November, offering farm tours and a all sorts of animal experiences.
A tour lasts for about 90 minutes and entails a visit to the farm's paddocks to meet, feed and interact with goats, ponies, pigs and alpacas.
If you visit earlier in the season there will be lots of piglets, goat kids and baby alpacas to make a fuss of! Younger children are welcome on special 45-minute sessions, while the farm also organises goat yoga in the presence of 30 mischievous and attention-hungry goats.

Mar-Lea Miniature Golf & Driving Range
There's more family fun at this smartly landscaped miniature golf course off the Boston Turnpike to the south of Vernon.
Mar-Lea is great for younger and inexperienced golfers for its relatively straightforward but whimsically designed holes, with a lighthouse, castle, windmill, church, barn and treehouse.
The price point is great too, at just $6 for 18 holes.
More serious golfers can work on their iron play at the driving range which is set against a wooded hillside.

The Hockanum River rises at Shenipsit Lake in Rockville and flows for more than 22 miles through Vernon, Ellington, Manchester and East Hartford before entering the Connecticut River.
The Hockanum River Watershed Association has made the banks of the river as accessible as possible, and this network of loops and point-to-point paths will help you see the Vernon and Manchester townscapes in a new light.
There are 2.5 miles of orange-blazed linear trails in Vernon.
The 1.4-mile Dart Hill North Trail in Vernon is one of the hilliest and most scenic walks in the system, beginning at a water treatment plant on Windsorville Road and running south to Dart Hill Park.
South-west of Vernon, Union Pond is served by the trail and a habitat for waterfowl and wildfowl like cormorants, Canada geese, ducks and gulls, as well as occasional great egrets and blue herons.

There's a big tract of grass for kite-flying and picnics, while the gazebo offers some respite on hot summer days.
This sits right beside the newly updated playground.
Another recent improvement is the park's fitness trail, with hydraulic equipment, while at the centre of the parking area is a little wildflower meadow to encourage bees.

Up Next: 8 things I am looking forward to at this year's Common Ground Fair


Is Your H.R. Department Firing on All Cylinders?
As you stop to look at your small business operation, does everything leave you smiling? One fear can be your human resources department is not firing on all cylinders. If they are not, problems can begin to take over a company.
So, as you assess the success or lack thereof within your H.R. department, are you left with any notable concerns?
Proper people and tools in place – The employees are the backbone of your company. You need to be sure they not only have the resources to do their jobs, but also a productive working environment. One thing to doom a business is a workplace where there is animosity, tension, and no organization. For you to best steer clear of such a scenario, having the right human resources approach in place is big. One such approach can be turning to the right human resources consultants to assist you. Going to the pros who know what human resources are all about is something you oftentimes won't regret. From all worker documents set to how to handle an issue between employees, don't be short-handed with H.R. needs.
Stop problems before they fester – As a small business owner, you may very well wear several hats. As such, you could find yourself not being able to stay on top of all that is going on. One issue getting a lot of attention these days are sexual harassment allegations. How would you handle such allegations if you did not have a clear human resources policy in place? With the right H.R. tools and practices, there's less of a chance those types of allegations can take root. By nipping potential problems in the bud, you have a better chance of a harmonious workplace. Make it clear from the day you hire someone what you expect of them as a member of your workforce.
Having company meetings – Sure, many employees say that regular company meetings are boring. That said company meetings can be an opportunity to air out any differences. No, you don't want a company meeting to turn into a he said/she said affair. Regular meetings are a chance for employees to note concerns they have with the business. To have the best meetings, be clear you want employees to speak up/ They shouldn't fear retribution. By having an open working environment, you are more likely to have satisfied workers.
Is your human resources department all it can be to keep employees and recruit new ones? If it is not, don't wait until a problem or problems put your business in peril.
Being pro-active with your H.R. needs can make a world of difference when running a business.
With that in mind, what advice do you have for fellow small business owners in making sure their human resources departments are working as best as possible?

US hero's relation's body 'found'
Archaeologists believe they have found the pioneer's remains
Scientists may have found the bodies of two maternal relations of the man who established the first English-speaking colony in America in 1607.
They hope to find a DNA match of a relation of Captain Bartholomew Gosnold at a church in Stowmarket, Suffolk.
Archaeologists want to trace the relation to authenticate the remains of Gosnold found in the US.
Using radar they think they have found Gosnold's niece's remains at the St Peter and St Mary church.
The body of his niece Katherine Blackerby may have been found near the probable entrance to the family vault at the church.
'Visionary leader'
James Halsall, project spokesman for the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, said: "The radar survey shows a potential vault under the Blackerby memorial tablet in the floor of Stowmarket church."
William Kelso, director of archaeology at APVA Preservation Virginia, where the first English-speaking colony in the country was established, said: "We are very excited about pursuing this research and helping Bartholomew Gosnold receive recognition for his visionary leadership that's long overdue.
"We are also extremely grateful to the Church of England and the two Suffolk parishes for their co-operation in this historic endeavour."
The results of the radar survey have been passed to the Council for the Care of Churches and Church Councils' in Stowmarket and Shelley. None of the bodies raised objections to the project continuing to the next stage.
Discussions will now take place between the Archaeology team from Suffolk County Council, the Council for the Care of Churches and APVA Preservation Virginia as to how the exploration should be conducted.
If final legal permission is granted by the Chancellor of the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, work with archaeologists from Suffolk county council could begin in late May.
If DNA material can be successfully extracted, the results of the comparative tests are expected to be revealed in November 2005.

Soros Promises to Spend More Money in Future Campaigns to prove a Point About too Much Money in Campaigns
Republican George Amedore was recently certified as the winner over Democrat Cecilia Tkaczyk in an upstate race for the New York state Assembly. His margin of victory was officially a mere 37 votes. And at a price tag (so far) of over $2.3 million, it serves as the costliest election held in New York's capital region.
One of the biggest campaign contributions for Tkaczyk came from the son of billionaire left-winger George Soros. Jonathan Soros spent $260,000 on this particular campaign in an effort to oust a Republican that Democrats felt could be vulnerable. But it's what he said afterward that raises eyebrows.
Soros it seems, spent so much money on this campaign as a symbolic commentary on the current state of campaign finance laws.
The biggest donor was Jonathan Soros, a Manhattan hedge fund manager whose father, George Soros, is a billionaire donor to Democratic causes. The younger Soros spent $260,000 — and said he'll spend more in future campaigns if public financing isn't enacted.
"The lesson both in this election and elsewhere is that it's not having a ton of money that makes a difference, but it's having enough to get your message out and be heard," Soros told the Times Union. "We were just trying to just allow voters in the districts to get to know her, and a robust public financing system would allow that."
Soros spent his money on television advertisements produced by his PAC, called Friends of Democracy. Because his ad campaign was independent of Tkaczyk's efforts, he could spend as much money as he chose — a fact affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision.
Soros spent "as much money as he chose" on an election with the sole intent of making it known that he'd like public financing enacted? Isn't that akin to robbing a bank while at the same time complaining about people that rob banks?

BASILICA MINOR DEL SANTO NIÑO
Basilica Minor del Santo Nino is a 16th century church structure in the heart of downtown Cebu City, Philippines. It is built by Miguel Lopez de Legaspi and Fr. Andres Urdaneta in the exact spot where the image of Santo Niño (the Black Holy Child Jesus image/sculpture) was found by the Spain|Spanish conquistadors in 1565 preserved in a burned wooden box which was left behind by the Portugal|Portuguese and Spanish explorers in 1521.
(Basilica Minor del Santo Niño)
The first structure of the church was, however, destroyed by fire on November 1, 1568. It was rebuilt in 1602 under the administration of Juan Albaran and was rehabilitated in 1740. On May 1965, the church was conferred the title Basilica Minor del Santo Nino during the fourth centennial celebration of the Christianization of Cebu.
(inside the basilica compound)
For visitors who wish to venerate the original Santo Niño (adorned with gold and precious stones enshrined in glass), just go to the left side of the Basilica altar. However, be aware that hundreds of visitors flock to the Shrine.
You may also light a candle at the candle area amongst other devotees praying for petitions or thanksgiving.
(Candle Area)
Adjacent to the basilica is a small museum, where you can visit. It is located at the basement of the Pilgrim Center, Basilica del Santo Niño compound. General Admission is Php 20.00 per person (2006). The contribution always go to the advancement and maintenance of Basilica Minor del Santo Niño Museum.
(entrance hall leading to the museum)
The museum houses antique objects and religious articles such as rosaries, various sizes of Santo Niño's cloaks of 17th-18th century style, garments of the priests that are worn during masses, collection of chalices, ciborium, and venajeras and a lot more. Taking pictures inside the museum are not allowed.

Lyla posted a question on FB this morning: I know Trini women do it but how plausible is it to wear face make up (not talking about eye makeup), I am talking about full out concealer, foundation and powder on Carnival Monday & Tuesday? I wanna know which one can survive that Union heat!
... And the best answer in a video format is "Trinidad Carnival 2010 Sweatproof Foundation & MakeUp" from Trinidadian, MsQueenofBling. In this video, MsQueenofBling's tests her foundation and makeup after a 2 hour intense workout at the gym. All the effort and commitment because of her love for Trinidad Carnival and a perfect sweat proof face for the road!
Over the last few years, I used M.A.C Prep and Prime Face Protect SPF which she also recommended, in addition to M.A.C Prep and Prime Eye. ...And my makeup stays on! From my experience of watching a lot of other YOUTUBE videos, plenty other ladies believe in Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Recently, I noted that E.L.F Cosmetics has a primer for under $5 and since my recent meeting, IMAN Cosmetics has one too.


After looking into this issue I found that it attempted to switch between active and standby. The message was switching failed in the standby log. The cert was still present when going to this in a browser but all pages returned 404.
Quick step was switching to standby to active. This allowed changes to be applied from the ASDM. After reloading the standby at this point found this message during boot.
For me I did not have to restart the standby ASA after loading the ASDM bin file.
While doing a IPS Sensor Software update I got the error Error: execUpgradeSoftware : RETR failed...This error only happened during the instructions of upgrading via FTP.
The quick fix for me was to use the GUI update dialog. If you go to update sensor from sensor management under the IPS section or IDM.
After looking into more on the FTP there was a home directory issue with this account. Might be different depending on the FTP with that error. This FTP was running Core FTP.
This error was found running BisSubscribe command on the TFS Application Tier servers. Disabling the loopback check on the Application Tier fixes this issue. The other option is run the tools from a different computer then TFS 2010 Application server. Below is the register key to add to fix this issue on the server. If you have TFS Application farm this must be run on each server you would wish to run this on. This doesn't require a restart to take effect.
Access is denied. Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to this repository, or add a crawl rule to crawl this repository.
This sharepoint issue is all over the internet these days. This issue comes up using SharePoint search crawling on the same box. Other option is install Sharepoint Search on different server then your web applications. Below is registry key to disable the loopback check. From my experience changing this key doesn't require a restart.

I know you might not think that it's even possible to have a glow when it is so dull and dreary outside, but I promise you that it is! I want to make sure you have ways to keep your skin looking fabulous without breaking the bank. Take a look at some of my favorite natural skin care treatments using items that you probably already have in your kitchen!
Try this super simple and nourishing natural skin care miracle: An avocado + honey face mask. Apply the mask for 20 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water followed by your favorite moisturizer.
You mix this all together and let the antioxidants from the avocado, the citric acid from the lemon and the rich moisture from the honey, transform your dull winter skin in no time!
There is nothing more feminine or sensual then touching soft, supple skin, however it can seem like an impossible thing to achieve when your skin is cracking and peeling from the cold. Don't worry, that's where exfoliating scrubs come in to play and this one can be used daily in the shower.
Mix these ingredients together and apply while taking a shower. You don't need much; a whole tablespoon will cover almost your entire body, so use it intentionally. Also, be sure not to scrub too hard, this scrub is super effective and a gentle application will go a long way.
Okay, so the prize is that you get amazing skin – but trust me it's so worth it! I use moisturizer all year long but in the colder months, I notice that my creams and lotions just aren't enough so I have to start adding oils to my routine. If you are immediately uncomfortable with that thought because you don't want things to get greasy, I promise you this will have the opposite effect. You can use a small drop of this on your face and it will go a long way.
Try one (or all) of these home remedies for glowing skin!
