5 Features to Look for When Differentiating UC Solutions
Posted by Pat Henkle on March 12, 2015 December 1, 2015 Posted in Unified Communications Tagged cloud, Cloud based, enterprise connect, Enterprise connect 2015, Enterprise solution, NEC, NECAM, Request for proposal, Rfp, Smb, Tco, UC, Uc solution, unified communications
Unified communications is an increasingly important investment for organizations looking to improve productivity and responsiveness while reducing their IT costs. UC and it's convergence of voice, video, and applications, is bringing benefits to enterprises and SMBs in every industry across the globe.
But if you're undertaking a UC upgrade, it can be hard to know how to differentiate between all the many UC solutions that exist on the market today. Unified communications technology evolves so rapidly that it's becoming more difficult for organizations to predict which requirements they might need now and in the future. What are the implications on your IT infrastructure? Will the technology become obsolete too quickly?
In fact these fears are consistently on the list of the many reasons that organizations tend to sweat legacy investments for too long.
The key to differentiating the right UC solution is to search for and ultimately adopt a solution that's built with/on:
Sufficient Flexibility – As office applications change, desktop and IT experiences evolve, and system requirements grow an enterprise-grade UC solution should offer multiple choices to adapt. The right UC solution will be flexible—with choices for both premises and self-managed deployments, subscription models with cloud services, or a hybrid with private cloud option—and accommodating of new requirements as your business needs evolve over time. Solutions that extend the value of your existing IT investments and promote end-user adoption should be high on the list of anyone looking for flexible, agile communications. Core elements of a flexible solution should include: use of open, standards based protocol interfaces, Web Service orientation, the ability to add complimentary solution components including devices (IP phones, smart phones, etc.),productivity applications (plug-ins for email clients, or web portals), and even purpose built applications to automate certain business processes.
All Inclusive Licensing – All-inclusive licensing gives technology and financial decision makers the ability to anticipate user costs while ensuring that their end users have full access to the UC productivity apps and tools they desire. The inclusive structure makes purchasing UC easier by eliminating complexity associated with mapping licenses for specific apps or features to individual users or groups of users.
Variety of UC apps and services such as mobility – Often users throughout an enterprise adopt varying work styles which best suit their roles and responsibilities. Offering a range of UC applications allows users the ability to choose the apps that best suit their particular needs and work styles. These may include some, or all, of the following: desktop UC apps for windows MAC users, browser based applications for cross platform use, mobile device apps for smartphones and tablets, plug-ins for other productivity tools like email and calendar apps or document management and related groupware systems. Ideally, all of these various UC oriented applications will have uniform features delivered with a common look and feel to simplify transition from one to another.
Software-based solution – software-based UC and collaboration platforms operate across premises, cloud, or hybrid environments (flexibility). With a variety of software apps, operating across multiple devices (PCs, smartphones, and tablets), software-based UC systems fit naturally into an enterprise's IT systems environment, leveraging common operating principles and practices. This lowers overall operating costs, and maximizes the possibility for integration into an enterprise's business processes maximizing the return on investment.
Vendor Maturity – vendor maturity is incredibly important when choosing a UC solution. There are multiple types of vendors in the marketplace today. There are those whose background is in network convergence. There are others whose background is strictly telephony. But for today's modern communications—that work consistently in co-operation with other enterprise technologies—you need a vendor whose strengths are in both telephony and IT infrastructure. You need more than a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader—you need a challenger, an innovator, a customer-focused vendor building next-generation unified communications and collaboration experiences that reduce IT complexity and delivers superior reliability, scalability and robustness.
Enterprise Connect 2015
Each year at Enterprise Connect, a mock Request for Proposal (RFP) session is held. The mock RFP is a simulation of the requests that enterprises and government agencies put out when looking for a new unified communications solution.
The session, led by independent consultant David Stein, Principal at Stein Consulting Group, assesses the most common unified communications and collaboration that SMBs and enterprises alike typically differentiate between. Each of the vendors that participate is required to answer questions related to their solutions' architecture, features, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over a 3-5 year period.
This year's UC RFP and Review session will, again, look at premises vs. cloud-based communications platforms. The session is a long running tradition and the ideal way to provide potential customers an objective way to learn about the top vendors in the industry. The session includes discussion of:
Overall findings/trends as of Q1 2015
The system offerings currently available from leading suppliers
Strengths and weaknesses of leading vendors' offerings
The subjective rankings based on architecture, functionality and cost
Product Differentiation (what really matters?)
UC Procurements (should enterprises focus on platform or use cases?) and more.
There are a number of factors to consider in evaluating Unified Communications RFPs—high availability, voicemail, unified messaging, and unified communications are just some of the features of modern communications technology.
If your organization is starting the process of looking for a new UC solution to replace your existing IP/PBX, I invite you to join me during the session and listen to how each vendor ranks.

Who should Hull City recruit in January?
TOPICS:Hull City
Posted By: Simon Bullock 12/01/2018
In the early hours of 1st September Lee Darnborough and Leonid Slutsky and had made their final signing of the summer window in Fikayo Tomori. A summer of turbulence was over. A number of quality players departed, no less than 11 replacements brought in. Four months on and many of these replacements have failed to live up to their predecessors with the exceptions of Frazier Campbell, Jackson Irvine and Jon Toral. At the time of writing, the Tigers have 19 days to save their faltering season, so who do Nigel Adkins and Darnborough bring in?
A big issue so far this season has been defence and the high number in the 'goals against' shows that. As it stands, when this season finishes the Tigers are set to have only two senior defenders under contract and at the club – Stephen Kingsley and Ondrej Mazuch. This is a completely unacceptable situation to be in at this stage of the season and if it isn't resolved sooner rather than later, it will come back to bite next season. As of the 12th December, no defenders have been linked to the club which is no surprise really seeing as the majority of Jill's business is usually done in the final 72 hours of these window. I personally like the look of Dan Burn at Wigan; a commanding centre half who's not that old and is more than capable of playing at a higher level than League One. However, the only problem there would be the price. It is likely Wigan would be reluctant to sell and even more likely Ehab Allam won't be willing to pay a large fee.
A winger should also be high on Adkins' priorities. Before this season the only senior winger at the club was Kamil Grosicki, meaning Jarrod Bowen had to adapt from centre forward to a wide man. Injuries to both players over the course of the season had meant Irvine and Toral and had to play on the flanks but a club still pocketing parachute payments really should to be able to afford a decent quality winger. Rumours in recent weeks around Hakeeb Adelakun, from Adkins' previous club Scunthorpe United, who is out of contract in the summer have been rife. He is one of the brightest young talents in the Football League and will go on to play at a higher level as he is a player with bags of pace and goals. However, these rumours were put to bed yesterday when Adkins confirmed he had made a bid for a wide player that wasn't Adelakun. There is still plenty of time in the window though for this to change.
The final position that needs strengthening this window is the centre forward one. Although the Tigers have currently for many strikers on the books, there is still need for another one. Hernandez is coming back from long term injury, Campbell is injuy prone, Dicko is lacking match fitness, Keane is coming back from long term injury, Diomande doesn't score enough and Luer is probably a League Two quality forward. Goals haven't been a problem this season with wide players and midfielders mostly contributing. With Hernandez out if contract in the summer, it is unsure whether there is a 20 goals a season forward at the club. The rumour mill brought up Jack Marriott at Peterborough as a possible solution to this problem. He is young, very prolific and Posh's chairman said they would be willing to let him go for the right price. Adkins has said he admires the player but isn't on the shortlist, quite possibly because he is on his way to Leeds United. I personally think a targetman is needed. Somebody over 6ft 2 inches. Somebody who can win long balls, hold play up and get the knockdowns for someone like Dicko and Hernandez to latch on to. It is most likely, if a striker is brought in, it will be on loan as there are two loan spaces that can still be filled. Realistically who is that going to be? That's where Head of Recuitment Lee Darnborough earns his money.

Arkansas Senate rejects Gov. Hutchinson's $97 million tax cut plan, two Republicans abstain
FinanceLatest NewsTalk Politics
by Wesley Brown (wesbrocomm@gmail.com) February 5, 2019 6:58 pm 1,105 views
Gov. Asa Hutchinson's $97 million tax cut bill for the state's top income bracket that breezed through a Senate panel on Monday hit a wall in the full chamber after the measure failed to get the necessary three-fourths vote for approval on Tuesday (Feb. 5).
Senate Bill 211, sponsored by Sen. Jonathan Dismang, R-Searcy, failed in the full Senate by a vote of 25 yeas, 5 nays and a handful of senators not voting, including two Republicans – Sens. Terry Rice, R-Waldron, and Bill Sample, R-Hot Springs. Because the current tax rates are related to individual income and would be changed by SB211, the bill can only be enacted into law by a supermajority, or three-fourths vote of the 100-member House and 35-seat Senate.
After the vote, Gov. Hutchinson said he was disappointed to see that two Republicans did not cast a vote for his so-called "5.9" tax cut plan on the Senate floor. "We recognize that achieving a three-fourths vote is a challenge. The fact that we got within two votes on the first ballot shows that it continues to have momentum," said Hutchinson. "This is all part of the legislative process and debate, and we look forward to it being called back."
Under Hutchinson's abridged 5.9 plan, Arkansas' top marginal rate would drop to 6.6% in the first year of the biennium and down to the preferred 5.9% in the second year. Last week, Hutchinson unveiled SB 211 as a modified version of the earlier $192 million "2-4-5.9" tax cut package, which was recommended by the bicameral state Tax Reform and Relief Task Force that was created during the 2017 legislative session to study the state's cumbersome tax code.
But the bill will likely come back up in the next week as Dismang's speedy request to expunge the vote was affirmed by the full body. Earlier during the hourlong debate, Dismang, Senate President Jim Hendren, R-Sulphur Springs, and other Republicans defended the bill amid a motion on the floor by Sen. Will Bond, D-Little Rock, to suspend Senate rules and move the bill back to committee to cut out the 5.9% tax bracket, which he called at $73 million tax break for the state's "one percenters."
Bond and other Democrats also criticized the governor's proposal and said it was too costly and would lead to cuts in services to needed state programs. Sen. Linda Chesterfield, D-Little Rock, called Hutchinson's tax cut proposal a "hybrid" because it did not follow the consensus "2-4-5.9" legislation recommended by the 16-member state tax reform task force last summer. Like many, she pointed to the need to pay for state highway funding, which is expected to come up later in the session.
"I wax concern that we are cutting so much of the revenue of the state. And I wax concern because I know at some point in time the economy is going to be what it is today, and then we are going to have to try and make up that money," said Chesterfield. "I (am) also concerned that we have not found the money to rebuild the infrastructure of this state and then we are going to have to go to the 'little guy' and ask him or her to tax themselves in order to build the roads."
Following Chesterfield, Bond passionately asked his senate colleagues to vote against SB 211, grousing that the Legislature has cut more than $500 million in taxes over the last decade. He also argued those same tax cuts have left Arkansas ranked near the bottom among all 50 states in education, teen pregnancy, salaries for teachers and highway police, and other areas.
"At some point, we have to stop and say, 'what do we want Arkansas to be? What are we going to lead the nation in? What are we going to improve (because) there are a lot of categories where we are not doing that well,'" said Bond, pleading to his fellow senators, "Let's not do this."
Sen. Jason Rapert, R-Conway, countered Bond's argument by noting that Democrats had overseen the state legislature for more than a century without addressing critical state needs. He said once Republicans took control with a majority in the House and Senate in 2013, the state has improved it's lot economically and fiscally.
"I don't think it is appropriate to get up and quote a bunch of statistics that frankly are a result of 138 years of Democratic leadership of our state," he said. "It takes awhile to turn a ship this big, and we have voted for multiple tax cuts and we have seen our state improve."
Two other Democrats, Sens. Joyce Elliott and Keith Ingram of Little Rock and West Memphis, respectively, came to the floor after Rapert to speak against SB 211, arguing that the true cost of the legislation still has not been determined. However, Hendren, who co-chaired the tax reform task force, ended the debate by arguing the $97 million price tag is accurate.
"I have confidence that is the best estimate we can go based on what we've seen. It was done using the exact same modeling that we have done for the previous tax cuts and those numbers have proved to be true," he said.
After the Senate adjourned, Hendren told reporters that SB 211 could come back up as early as tomorrow or sometime next week as questions immediately began swirling as to why the two Republicans, Rice and Sample, failed to vote for the governor's tax plan. Hendren said both senators and other legislators had expressed some desire to tie the discussion of tax cuts and highway funding together.
"That is something that is understandable, but it is almost impossible to really do that because you would have to understand what the budget is going to be before you determine spending," said the Senate leader, who has frequently pointed out that lower- and middle-income taxpayers have received cuts.
As his first act in the 2015 session, Hutchinson pushed the legislature to enact a $102 million tax cut that lowered the state's middle-income tax bracket from 6% to 5%. That was followed in the 2017 session by a smaller $50.5 million tax cut for the working poor.
Although he did not have an exact date SB 211 may come back to the Senate floor, Hendren said he will talk with those senators he thought would have supported the measure. Besides Rice and Sample, Democratic Sens. Bruce Maloch of Magnolia, Eddie Cheatham of Crossett, and Stephanie Flowers of Pine Bluff, also did not cast a vote. Sen. Greg Leding, D-Fayetteville, joined Democrats Bond, Chesterfield, Elliott and Ingram in voting against the measure.
On the House end of the capitol, Democrats have declared that there are not 75 votes for the governor's tax cut plan although the minority party only controls 24 seats. House Minority Leader Rep. Charles Blake, D-Little Rock, is expected to file a bill this week that will seek an Earned Income Tax Cut (EITC) that targets relief to lower-income taxpayers.
UAMS CANCER INSTITUTE DESIGNATION
Earlier on the Senate calendar, the chamber unanimously approved a bill to make the University of Arkansas for Medical Science's Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute in Little Rock a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center.
Senate Bill 151, sponsored by Sen. Missy Irwin, R-Mountain Home, was easily adopted by a vote of 35-0. The UAMS funding stream from the state for the cancer center designation would be between $10 million and $20 million per year. Irvin said there are now 70 National Cancer Institutes located in 36 states across the U.S. None are in Arkansas, Mississippi or Louisiana.
Irvin said having a National Cancer Institute in Arkansas as a cancer treatment hub would draw thousands of cancer patients to Little Rock for clinical trials, treatment, prevention care, screening and other services, providing a $70 million annual economic boost to central Arkansas. The bill, which was unveiled as part of a larger package of legislation supported by the newly-formed Republican Women's Caucus, now goes to the House Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee, where it has 16 co-sponsors.

After placing five top-two finishes in the San Diego Crew Classic, No. 8 Texas rowing will head east to participate in the Clemson Invitational in South Carolina.
The Longhorns will row in 15 races spread across three sessions over the weekend. Two sessions will be on Saturday, the first beginning at 7:30 a.m. and the second beginning at 4 p.m. and the third session will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday. Each race will have six or seven teams rowing.
Texas will be up against many of the nation's top teams, including No. 4. Ohio State, who have won the National Championship the past three years, No. 3. Virginia, and No. 10 Michigan. The Longhorns will face a total of 19 teams during the meet, including matchups with Big 12 rival Oklahoma and conference affiliate member Tennessee.
The Longhorns hope to continue their strong season after the impressive showing in San Diego two weekends ago. Texas only fell to No. 2 California in the races, and while their performance was rewarded by a three spot jump in the Coaches Poll rankings, they will still be looking to show that they can contend with and beat top ranked teams this weekend.
The Clemson Invitational will be the last large regatta of the Longhorns' regular season, as they will face Virginia head-to-head in Austin at the end of the month before competing in the Big 12 Championship in May.

"Defund the ATF" – Conservatives and politicians push to get ATF defunded and dismantled for anti-gun policies and actions
12/29/2020 / By Arsenio Toledo
Conservatives and other pro-Second Amendment activists in the United States are once again pushing for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) – long considered to be a very anti-gun federal agency – to be defunded.
This issue is being raised as pro-gun activists around the country are fearing the possibility of a Joe Biden presidency. The Democratic nominee is poised to unveil a series of very strict gun control measures should he enter the White House. Gun activists do not doubt that Biden will use the ATF as the main federal agency to enforce these policies. (Related: Biden team has already reached out to ATF with an eye towards banning 80% receivers and pistol braces already owned by MILLIONS of law-abiding Americans.)
The possibility of gun confiscations and other anti-gun actions became even more apparent after the ATF raided Ohio gun manufacturing company Polymer80 on Dec. 10. The company, which manufactures unfinished frames and receivers, known colloquially as "80 percent" parts, has been accused by the ATF of selling "ghost guns" that may have been used in hundreds of criminal activities, including robbery, homicide, domestic violence and kidnapping.
Ghost guns are firearms that do not have licensing serial numbers or the mark of a manufacturer. Polymer80 sells a product known as a "Buy Build Shoot" kit which includes all of the parts necessary to build a ghost gun.
In a report leaked to Ammoland, the ATF said in a conference call that the agency's acting director and associate deputy director, Regina Lombardo and Marvin Richardson, have already been in contact with Biden's transition team to "get the agency's 'top priorities.'"
Lombardo reportedly told those on the conference call that her main goal will be to confiscate pistol braces and 80 percent lower receivers.
"Defund the ATF" movement gaining steam
To fight the ATF, many conservatives are now adopting a slogan of the liberal left and are calling for the ATF to be defunded. Outspoken gun advocate and newly-elected member of the House of Representatives for Georgia's 14th district Marjorie Taylor Greene has been part of the new push to fight the ATF. On Dec.14, the member-elect tweeted:
"10 years ago today, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered in cold blood with a gun provided to Mexican drug cartels through Barack Obama and [former attorney general] Eric Holder's ATF 'Fast and Furious' program. The ATF is an oppressive government agency that should be defunded and eliminated!"
Greene added during an interview with alternative news outlet Washington Examiner that the ATF's actions will inevitably lead to many small businesses shutting down. This puts "good people out of work," and represents an attack on the Constitution.
The member-elect then explained that, as soon as she is inaugurated as a member of the next House of Representatives, her main goal will be to "cut government, not expand it," and that the first federal agency she will try to put on the chopping block will be the ATF.
Gun rights organizations have also voiced their support for the movement to defund the ATF. Erich Pratt, senior vice president of the Gun Owners of America (GOA), strongly criticized the ATF's recent move to consider outlawing AK- and AR-style pistols with arm braces under their "Objective Factors for Classifying Weapons with Stabilizing Braces" proposal.
Under the proposal, they intend to classify every AR-platform pistol that features a stabilizing arm brace as an "NFA weapon," which is subject to registration and taxation.
Pratt said that the ATF was "out of control," and that nobody can hold the agency – which he believes should not exist in the first place – to account for their actions. He further accused the ATF of turning "honest gun owners" into criminals.
"If there were any lingering questions as to how far the ATF has gone off into the deep end, this document settles it," said Pratt, referring to the proposal to reclassify firearms with stabilizing arms.
"The ATF is the embodiment of the word 'infringement,' and GOA is prepared to combat its actions at every turn. GOA will rally the grassroots to fight these regulations, and if they eventually go into effect, we will commence immediate legal action to protect gun owners."
The National Rifle Association, reacting to the policies against pistol stabilizing braces and the raid on Polymer80, said that they have no doubt the agency has already signaled their willingness to work with Biden and Kamala Harris to "squeeze gun owners more."
"Gun owners know elections have consequences," they wrote on their social media accounts. "This is why we must all fight to protect the pro-gun Senate majority in the run-off races in Georgia."

Celestial Cuffs are an accessory that increases pickup range for mana stars and restores mana when the wearer is damaged. The mana restored from damage due to these cuffs will NOT stack with the mana restored from damage due to the Magic Cuffs.
Like the Celestial Magnet, it increases the pickup range of mana stars by 20 blocks, for a total of 22 blocks. This effect does not stack with the pickup effects of the Celestial Magnet or the Celestial Emblem.
The Celestial Cuffs work even better with the Spectre Armor than the Magic Cuffs alone, because this combination will restore your mana when damaged AND will furthermore help you collect stars, allowing you to attack more often and thus heal yourself more effectively. Players are able to survive Hardmode Events a lot more easily with this set of items equipped.
Using Celestial Cuffs instead of Magic Cuffs will remove the 20 additional maximum mana you get from the Band of Starpower. This won't be a huge deal as you will very easily get mana back, but if you still prefer the 20 mana, the arcane modifier can accomplish this.
When using the Celestial Emblem, it would be preferable to use the Magic Cuffs instead of the Celestial Cuffs since the increased pickup ranges for mana stars do not stack anyway, and the Magic Cuffs give the 20 additional maximum mana that the Celestial Cuffs lose when crafted.
Having a dart trap in your arena rigged to shoot you will give you back mana if you lack in mana potions. Note that the dart itself may not do much damage, but that spamming the dart trap will slowly kill you, not only from the small base damage but also due to the poison debuff it causes. Utilizing a Bezoar or any items crafted from it will prevent this issue.
Spikes or Wooden Spikes can also accomplish this, without the risk of being poisoned.
This accessory may be preferred over the Mana Flower to restore mana because when you drink mana potions, it inflicts the Mana Sickness debuff, which reduces magic damage.

If you're interested in buying a tape binding machine but you want to know what the best brand name is, then there is no need to look further than Fastback. Made by Powis Parker, Fastback tape strip binder machines are the best of the best in quality, speed, functionality, usability, and even in looks.
Fastback machines are easy to identify with their gray and purple design; a smart choice by Powis to make their machines match their branding.
Fastback tape binding equipment is also the easiest to use. They are electrically controlled, and both models offer a simple read-out screen that tells you what tape strip width to use, depending on the thickness of your pages. The guesswork is eliminated with these simple tape binders; just place your pages into the binder and it will tell you what strip size to use. Insert that strip into the feed, and the Fastback machine will pull the strip in and bind it to your pages. Once done, just move the book to the cooling rack to allow the glue to finish curing.
In just a few minutes, you can have a professional strip bound document that is strong flat. The binding cycle itself is just 60 seconds, so with the cooling time and prep time, you're looking at about a 1.5 to 2 minute total binding time. While one book is binding, you can prep the next several books to keep the process moving quickly.
Fastback tape binding machines are build with integrity and quality in mind. They come with a standard one year manufacturer's warranty to back that up.
So now let's review the two different Fastback tape binding machines so you can see the most notable differences to decide which of these great strip binders will be best for your needs.


Me and my fiance aren't really "trying to conceive" anymore, we're concentratiing on our wedding for now, to try and take the stress of not conceiving away for now.
However, I am due on my period tomorrow and for the last 8 days I have had a brown discharge, similar to the end of my normal period, I had a bit of peiod pain last week but nothing else since.
There's no smell, there's no pain, it's just as it is when I'm nearing the end of my normal period.
Not too sure what it could be?
I guess your diagnosis must have been based on blood test results? I have PCOS too, and was diagnosed with blood tests, although I also have visible cysts and amenorrhea.
Funny things can happen with discharge thanks to our crazy hormones and your brown discharge this month could just be a result of a change in your hormones this cycle.
But if your period doesn't appear as expected, you should pee on a stick!
And if you continue to have any concerns over the next few days perhaps you can pop to see your doc?
If I don't get my period after a week or so I'll go to my GP, I was just wondering if it was anything to be alarmed about.
I was diagnosed due to blood tests, despite being put through a hysterosalpingogram, blood tests, scans etc. Although the GP said to me "You dn't have a beard so that was a surprise" How very kind of him, I'm sure it was a compliment but it was sure abrupt!!
One of the features of PCOS is irregular periods and it is also quite common to have cycles that are different from normal or different from what others might consider normal. Although you have 'removed the stress of TTC' you are still 'stressed' by the wedding planning and this can also affect your cycle.
As the discharge is not smelly or in any way uncomfortable, I would not be overly concerned. If it continues long enough for you to start worrying or if it becomes smelly or itchy then I would definitely see a doctor.
Also, if you normally have regular cycles and are late then I would also be inclined to want to do a home test as this is possibly one of the first things that your GP will do.
Hey there. I'm really sorry to hear about what happened. PCOS is a horrible condition. Good luck with your wedding. You guys are doing the right thing by not stressing out about it. You can always rethink and reevaluate what you want to do, later. Lots of love.

With the www sub-domain all is fine and it (www.domain.com) resolves to ghs.google.com (via a CNAME entry) and the site is displayed.
However, if I try and reach the bare domain (domain.com) FF states it is unable to establish a connection. I assume this is because my DNS configuration has no A ip-address entry for it anymore.
I was considering forwarding any URL from domain.com to www.domain.com, although possible ZoneEdit is not recommending it I think because I telling it to only forward requests for http://domain.com and leave http://www.domain.com as it is (i.e CNAME configured).
Am I handling this the best way?
According to the article on URL forwarding in the Google Apps Help, forwarding your naked domain to the www domain is the best way to handle it.
And then you leave the CNAME record for the www domain to point to ghs.google.com, as you already have done.

1. Maryland 1801 Treasurer, Eastern Shore
On April 28, 1788, the Maryland Legislature, by a vote of 63 to 11, became the seventh state to ratify the new proposed national Constitution.
With the creation of Allegany on December 25, 1789, the number of counties in Maryland increased to nineteen, a number that stayed constant until 1837. In addition, Baltimore and Annapolis were classified as cities.
Maryland had three Legislative bodies. The House of Delegates, which was elected annually in October, had eighty members; four were chosen at large from each county and two from both Baltimore City and Annapolis.
A State Senate of fifteen members was chosen every five years in early September and by an unusual method. An Electoral College of forty members was chosen, consisting of two members from the counties and one each from Baltimore City and Annapolis. The Electoral College then voted to elect nine Senators to represent the Western Counties and six for what was termed the Eastern Shore. There was not much interest in these elections until 1801, when for the first time; they became a political contest between the Federalist and Republican parties.
In addition to the above, a Governor's Council of five members was elected annually by a joint session of the House of Delegates and State Senate. They assisted the Governor who was also chosen yearly by the Legislature.
Since the House of Delegates and State Senate voted together in electing the Governor, United States Senators and Governor's Council, a potentially difficult situation could arise, if control of these two bodies was split between both parties. This played out in the election of 1800, when for the first time, Republicans won control of the House of Delegates, but Federalists still controlled the State Senate. As a result, the Federalists were able to elect their Governor, United States Senator and the entire Governor's Council, even though Republicans had clearly won the state election.
Popular elections were held in Maryland for Congress, Presidential Electors, House of Delegates, State Senator Electors and County Sheriff. After the elections of 1788 and 1792, all Congressmen and Presidential Electors were chosen by districts. In addition, popular elections for city officers were held in Baltimore and Annapolis.
Except for the overwhelming Republican vote from Baltimore City, the parties were over all fairly evenly matched. After losing control of the state in 1801, the Federalists stayed relatively competitive and were able to rebound and capture the House of Delegates in 1808, and again from 1812–1817. Their greatest victory came in 1816 when they elected five out of nine congressmen, all fifteen State Senators, and had a 56 to 24 edge in the House of Delegates.
With their large majorities in the House of Delegates after 1812 and then by winning the State Senate in 1816, the Federalists were able to elect their Governors and Council members from 1812–1818 along with two United States Senators, one in 1813 and another in 1816. For several years they were in complete control of the Maryland Government.
By 1819 the Federalists lost their majority in the House of Delegates and two years later the entire State Senate. Only fourteen Federalists were elected to the House of Delegates in 1823. However, the following year in an unexpected turn of events, Federalists ran candidates in seven of the eight congressional contests, electing three members and losing another by running two candidates, splitting their votes, thus allowing a Republican to win. Voter turnout for this election was the highest ever cast in Maryland. It was perhaps a precursor to the changing political scene that was about to engulf the nation.

Both Brown and Sanders are splitting reps — for now.
STILLWATER — Dru Brown and Spencer Sanders are still splitting reps in the Cowboys' spring practices, but a leader could emerge as early as Friday.
The Oklahoma State football team will scrimmage Friday, where Sanders and Brown will again split reps and alternate between the first and second teams, but the two will be tasked with more responsibility than their normal practice drills. To this point the two have been locked in a battle to be the Cowboys' quarterback after Taylor Cornelius' departure. Friday will be somewhat of a measuring stick to see how far the two have come since coming to Stillwater last year.
Both quarterbacks are looked at as dual threat guys but sit at opposite ends of their collegiate careers. Sanders, a redshirt freshman, came to OSU as a highly touted recruit from Texas. He was the state's Gatorade Player of the Year, receiving the award a few years after eventual Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray. Despite his high regards entering the program, he didn't play a down as a freshman.
Brown played only one more down than Sanders did in 2018, a handoff in the Liberty Bowl. Brown is a college football journeyman at this point. He started his collegiate career at the College of San Mateo in 2015, where he threw for 1,879 yards and 21 touchdowns in a triple-option offense. From there, he transferred to Hawaii. With the Rainbow Warriors, Brown started 22 games in two seasons and finished his Hawaii career with 5,273 passing yards and 37 passing touchdowns.
The two are similar in areas and different in others. Their time at OSU has been similar thus far, but before too long that could also begin to change.

February 2, 2015—I was a hospice chaplain for about six years. It was a great job, despite the obvious need to redefine professional competence and success that comes with the territory. Nothing I was able to do would help the patient "get better." And every one of our patients died. Over six hundred patients died under my ministry. That's not something I put on the resume.
One of the most significant pastoral interventions I did with my patients was to help them engage in life review. Not only was this practice very therapeutic (and healing) for the patients, but it was part of what made my job such a gift of grace for me. I learned to appreciate the truth that we are the story of our lives. That being so, how we choose to write that story as we go through life becomes one of the most important tasks for living.
The idea that our life is a story is by no means new. Thus the great bard Shakespeare said that life "…is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." (Macbeth) However, it took philosophers some time to discover the philosophical import of this view of life. It was actually a German chap called William Schapp who first gave this age-old idea a philosophical twist. He maintained that we live our lives in a host of stories, which have connection with the stories of other people in various ways; so actually, our selves are nothing but cross-sections of stories. Our identities are created by a vast web of stories, as is our relationship with reality. We understand and identify things by placing them in the stories we tell about them: just like selves, things do not really exist outside of stories. We are caught in this narrative web because we cannot exist outside of it. There is a world-wide web of stories: the world is that web.
As an educator and someone who works with Bowen Family Systems Theory, with its emphasis on the self and its context in the multigenerational narrative of family, I continue to appreciate the power of narrative, and the stories it contains, for learning and for personal growth. The use of narrative is a primary resource for helping students achieve meaningful learning, and in working with persons on life and work issues.
So, what's your story? What is the narrative of your life?
Where and when do you have opportunity to tell your story?
Where and when does your church provide opportunities for its members to share their stories?

Heartland Rural Health Network Community Health Worker Karen Nutter coaches diabetic patients in their homes to help them improve self-management of their chronic disease.
Carol B. has lost more than 100 pounds and cut her blood sugar averages in half since being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. But, she says, her disease is almost impossible to effectively control, so she is grateful for the professional assistance she receives from Heartland Rural Health Network (HRHN) in Avon, Fla.
Uncontrolled diabetes leads to serious and costly complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and lower limb amputations. HRHN's diabetes program and Kentucky's KIPDA Rural Diabetes Coalition (KRDC) are among federally funded grant programs with the purpose of helping people prevent development of diabetes and helping already diagnosed diabetics help themselves.
Shahady reported in Clinical Diabetes that DMCP has helped its patients attain better control of their diabetes while offering them significant cost savings. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) sets control goals related to lowering A1C, cholesterol and blood pressure levels. DMCP's free services for providers include a web-based diabetes registry, in conjunction with education and networking support for physicians. DMCP currently has 23,466 patients and 138,487 visits in its registry. Initiated by the Florida Academy of Family Physicians, DMCP is supported primarily by grants and donations, serving provider practices in Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois and North Carolina. Seventy percent of members are in rural locations. Shahady said DMCP is also expanding its relationship with physician practices in additional states.
The incidence of diabetes is about 17 percent higher in rural areas and racial and ethnic minorities are also at higher risk of developing the disease, according to Rural Healthy People 2020 (RHP) Co-author Jane Bolin, director of Texas A&M's Southwest Rural Health Research Center in College Station, Tex. Bolin said rural populations and some minority populations are also affected by diabetes complications to a greater degree, such as having higher rates of lower limb amputations, cardiovascular disease, renal failure, and blindness.
Anecdotally, Bolin and her study team have learned that many young Hispanics just expect to get diabetes because their parents and grandparents did. Changing cultural habits, such as tortillas at every meal, is difficult. They don't understand that learning to make good choices and changing diet can help them avoid getting diabetes. They may not know the status of their blood sugar, A1c or urine albumin because they don't have access to regular medical care.
According to The Disparate Impact of Diabetes on Racial/Ethnic Minority Populations, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, black or African Americans, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders have a higher prevalence of Type 2 diabetes. Some minority groups also have higher rates of complications.
HRHN Executive Director Kelly Johnson says their diabetes program helps bridge the gaps in a region where there are long distances between healthcare facilities, no public transportation and large populations of elderly, low-income residents that often have no personal transportation. While there is little data establishing reasons for the higher diabetes rates among rural populations, the situation Johnson cites is common in many rural areas and negatively impacts patient access.
Community Health Workers (CHWs) who live in communities where they work are HRHN's key link between clients and providers. CHWs see patients in their home to assess and assist them with home management practices, and confer regularly with providers about the patients.
HRHN's affiliation with DMCP strengthens HRHN's services. Patients and providers alike appreciate DMCP's report card for members, said HRHN Program Coordinator Melissa Thibodeau. Clients receive concrete, understandable information on their medical status and progress. Providers get an immediate snapshot of the patient's current condition without having to consult multiple laboratory reports.
"The report card also helps us make sure diabetic patients are up-to-date on things that fall through the cracks, like eye exams and foot checks," Thibodeau said.
HRHN's diabetes prevention efforts include a six-week nutritional program, Healthy Eating for Successful Living in Older Adults, which is so popular it has a waiting list and an impressive 87 percent completion rate among participants.
More than 1,500 clients have been referred to HRHN's diabetes program, which was added in 2008 with funding from a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Rural Health Network Development Grant. A current HRSA Outreach Grant has helped expand the reach of the DMCP. A nonprofit agency, HRHN serves Highland and Hardee counties.
Dr. Steven White and KRDC Henry County Community Organizer Mona Huff assess patient packets being distributed to patients with diabetes. The packets contain diabetes education and information about local resources.
KRDC formed four years ago to address needs of diabetics in Bullitt, Henry, and Shelby counties, three heavily rural regions where diabetes, obesity and smoking rates are all higher than national averages. All three counties are designated as food deserts, and two are designated as Health Care Provider Shortage areas. Tobacco is a primary crop and local officials have been reluctant to embrace smoking bans.
Projects like PhotoVoice raised community awareness and built community trust and ownership, McGeeney said. KRDC equipped diabetics with disposable cameras to document community-specific environmental challenges to a healthy lifestyle. The photo display included empty produce sections in grocery stores, high-priced food stickers and walking hazards.
Diabetic patients in three Kentucky counties with high diabetes rates are improving their chronic disease risks by attending a self-management course and support group.
KRDC's efforts to help people with diabetes better manage their disease include implementation of the Stanford Diabetes Self-Management Course, diabetes support groups, peer mentoring and health provider continuing education. Community participation continues to increase for KRDC's community awareness events and its Facebook and blog sites.
Coalition members meet monthly to plan and measure progress, and then work independently with volunteers in their counties to implement strategies and programs. The Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency (KIPDA) and the University of Louisville Kent School of Social Work provide support to the Coalition. KRDC's program is supported by a five-year grant from the CDC National Program to Eliminate Diabetes-Related Disparities in Vulnerable Populations. KRDC program success, including measurable changes in diabetics' health, will be evaluated in 2015.
Diabetes education and prevention efforts have been steadily increasing over the past decade. However, diagnosed cases of diabetes continue to rise. Bolin said some experts attribute increased diagnoses to increased awareness.
While diabetes ranks second among RHP 2020 health concerns, Bolin noted that access is the top concern and obesity came in a close third to diabetes. All are interrelated.

WATCH: First Trailer for David O. Russell's 'American Hustle,' Starring Bale, Cooper, Lawrence, Adams and Renner
WATCH: First Trailer for David O. Russell's 'American Hustle,' Starring Bale, Cooper, Lawrence, Adams and Renner
Beth Hanna
@@elizabeththanna
The first trailer for David O. Russell's "American Hustle" has landed. Starring a knockout cast including Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Jennifer Lawrence, the film centers on the true story of the '70s ABSCAM operation where a con man (Bale) and his mistress (Adams) team up with a loose-cannon federal agent (Cooper) to, well, scam the scammers. Watch below, plus new images from the film.
The supporting cast includes Robert De Niro, Louis C.K., Alessandro Nivola and Michael Pena. Needless to say, the film has an awards-season release date of December 25.
Lawrence won her Best Actress Oscar earlier this year in Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook," while De Niro and Cooper nabbed nominations (as did Russell, for writing and directing). Bale won his Best Supporting Oscar for Russell's "The Fighter" in 2010, while Russell nabbed a directing nod, and Adams a Supporting Actress nomination.
The trailer is set to Led Zeppelin's "Good Times, Bad Times."

It feels weird to write this, but it's been a busy spring and an extremely busy me. Weird, because for quite a few years I woke with nothing on my plate but an empty day. Mind you, for that period of time I had nothing to do but decide which island in the Exumas to visit. Or whether to start drinking in the morning or wait until after my walk… To the average person, those may sound like great options – a dream life of Bahamian sun, sailing and sipping.
A smart psychologist (who I scoffed at the time) once told me, "A life without accountability is a dangerous life. Everyone should answer to someone or something." In other words, my "carefree" life on an island was also a purposeless life and the wellspring of my alcoholism. And one of the first things I did after I got sober, was to get a job that was also an advocacy. Hence the busy, accountable life.
It is also spring in Michigan. Something that should be experienced by everyone at least once in a lifetime. But only after experiencing a full Michigan winter like I did this year. Having lived in The Bahamas for eight years and Florida too, I was a bit snippy about the lastingness of cold weather in the mitten, but spring is a rebirth. A feeling one doesn't get in more temperate climes. I wrote the article below for Sanford House and took the photos too!
I am spending as much time out of doors hiking as I can. Spring and sobriety certainly make for longer days and more energy to fill them. I was slogging through sand at Saugatuck Dunes State Park twice this weekend.
My friend Scott Masi, who works at Brighton Recovery Center started a grassroots organization – UFAM – to unify the voices of the millions of Michigan citizens impacted by addiction. UFAM also gives a voice to the many organizations working to change the way addiction is perceived and treated in our state. I am participating on the steering committee this year and (surprise) writing articles to promote the upcoming UFAM RALLY May 18, 2017. Read all about it below.
Today I'm not drinking because I'm accountable.
Yes, yes and yes. On those horrible days when I want to fill myself up on something, having to get dressed and go to work is key to brushing back the bad. Congratulations and accountable is the new black so it's fashionable too.

The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition (ABC) is Atlanta's largest non-profit bicycling advocate.  ABC was founded in 1991 to "create a healthier, more livable Atlanta by making it safer, easier, and more attractive to bicycle for fun, fitness, and transportation."

Programs, initiatives, and events
One of the highest profile programs sponsored by ABC is called Share the Road.  This public awareness program aims to educate both cyclists and motorists that shared use of the road is safest and most enjoyable for all. ABC also teaches Effective Cycling classes as part of its work to educate the public on the benefits of cycling. In addition, ABC offers a number of services, like bicycle counts, bicycle valets for events, and bicycle rack projects (in cooperation with Sopo Bicycle Co-op).

Atlanta Streets Alive
The ABC organizes Atlanta Streets Alive, a ciclovía, which in Spanish means a temporary closing of the street to automobiles for use by people participating in recreational activity, such as bicycling, roller-skating, jogging, strolling, scootering, or skipping. The free event takes place in Downtown Atlanta and the Old Fourth Ward, mostly on Edgewood Avenue. Sections of Auburn Avenue, Park Place, and Equitable Place are also closed to automobile traffic. The event kickoff is held at Woodruff Park. In addition to cultural events, free group activities are offered to participants, including tango, yoga, soccer, hula hooping, and break dancing.  In recent years, since 2012, the Atlanta Streets Alive has been extended to other areas of Atlanta, including two being held in DeKalb County, Georgia, in 2015 and 2016, outside of the city limits of Atlanta, nearby in downtown Decatur, Georgia and in the city of Clarkston, Georgia.  In addition, the Sweet Auburn Curb Market hosts the Urban Picnic, offering a variety of food trucks for hungry participants. The event is meant to promote exercise, good health, and physical activity. Tens of thousands of people attend the events, which are held in the spring, summer, or autumn months to take advantage of Atlanta's mild spring and fall climates.

The Mobile Social
Founded in March 2011, The Mobile Social is a monthly, no-drop, group bicycle ride sponsored by the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition. In response to the Critical Mass cycling events, members of the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition developed a social ride that is formal, organized, and aims to promote the following initiatives:
1. Get more people on bikes.
2. Explore Atlanta (west to east, north to south).
3. Support and love local businesses.
4. Create community through cycling.

Bicycle Friendly Neighborhoods

Connecting the City

Resources for Bicycle Commuters
The ABC has gathered a broad range of resources to provide information about riding safely on city streets.

(Click Here to Download Transcription)
[00:16] Hey everyone! It's Stephen Esketzis here from stephenesketzis.com.
[00:21] I am filming a nice late night podcast. So what's happened is that the podcast actually launched this evening Saturday night, so I'm super excited about that, can't wait to start seeing a bit of a action happening from it.
And what I was thinking about and what I want quickly to talk about tonight — I don't have a lot of time, but I've got about — I've got few minutes on hand so I want to quickly share this message with you.
[00:45] I kind of thought back to one of the reasons why I started this podcast because if I am looking myself, putting myself in the limelight for a second — I'm not even 21 years old and I am just thinking about how is this goning to reflect on me in the long term and that's probably the reason I put together these podcasts.
[01:05] Number one is to give value to people and number two is because of the long term effect it has. So with the way I want to grow my business, I'm showing people how trustworthy and how much content I can provide to people.
So those are the two main reasons I put this together, and I just thought about saying, "Look I'm not even twenty one years old and I put together this podcast," which is in its very early stages.
This is probably the fourth or fifth episode, but it's just going to be looking at that, when it hits that 50th episode — fingers crossed that I can keep it going for that long —
But if I hit that, and when I hit that 50th episode on Marketing on the Move people are going to be coming to back this episode and listening and saying, "Wow this is all started from the bottom."
So it started from the beginning and it's really gotten to this level.
[01:55] So I want you to apply to yourself today and think 'what do you want to be perceived as in about one year's time. How do you wanna be perceived as in about one years' time if people look at your life today?
[02:07] So is there a change you can make in your life or in your business right today, right now, at this moment in your life? Where in a year's time people look back and go through your blog posts, go through your podcasts, go through something you've done or something you've written: where they can see the progress that you've made.
[02:25] I am not sure if I make sense here guys but hopefully you're trying it. You can see what I am saying and that Gary Vaynerchuk does this really wild too.
You can go back and you can see his keynotes from 1 to 3 years ago, and you can see the massive difference in what he does now and a massive difference in how he presents his content. But what he has left is his legacy of how he's come up to where he is today.
So he's left this legacy of the advice that he's given to all these entrepreneurs, to all these businesses, and how they can grow their businesses.
He has left videos and content for people to use as material to improve themselves and their businesses, which is fantastic, and the amount of people that watch all these videos that have been uploaded to YouTube that been put out by Gary Vaynerchuk —
[03:14] People are still watching them today and people are still using what he says today in their businesses and taking action on them. So that's sort of what I am looking to do with this podcast as well: that once I get to the one hundredth episode of this podcast, people who enjoyed what I've been saying in the recent podcasts at that time will be able to go back and listen to them all.
[03:35] I did this with Russell Brunsons' podcast because he is a phenomenal marketer and I really wanted to get as much content as I could from his podcast. So I literally went back from… I think he's about 98 episodes in.
I went all the way back to number one and listened to them all and some of the value he provides is just crazy. For free as well, he doesn't charge for it.
If he put that all into a CD he could easily charge $297 for it. It's crazy!
[03:58] So I'm thinking that once I hit my hundredth episode, if one person at that time thinks 'Geez!
This guy's actually got some bit of a know-how or he's actually got bit a reputation nowor some reason or somehow they stumble upon me on my website, they'll be able to look at my podcast and go listen back right to episode number one, and they can see that this was a tactic and strategy to build value in my brand, — my personal brand– as well as my business.
[04:24] So think about that guys, how can you build content and build a reputation and an authority in your brand — your personal brand — or your business. What can you do today that in one years' time can be reflected upon and can still be providing valuable information for your target audience?
[04:40] So regardless of now, after the hundredth episode comes out which might be in one years' time, so this time next year, they can still go back to this episode I'm recording right now and they can still grab value from it.
They can still grab value from my previous episode on retargeting. They can still grab value from previous episode on Facebook ads.
[04:59] This value doesn't change, so that's what I want to invite you guys to do.
Create some sort of everlasting value that in a years' time you still providing value to your audience whether they stumble upon you through your website, whether they stumble upon you through a podcast, wherever it might be, provide everlasting value to your audience through passive content.
So it doesn't have to be created all at once and given away, but just like a podcast you do it day by the day and it just keep building and building your real reputation and your brand.
[05:26] So that's my challenge for you guys today. Hope you've enjoyed this and I'll speak to you soon.

From a Portal 2 Co-op run being played through by one person, to Zelda Breath of the Wild being completed in 45 minutes, Summer Games Done Quick (GDQ) had it all.
The bi-annual charity gaming marathon raised a staggering $1,776,485.79 for the charity Doctors Without Borders, over a week of ridiculous and fun speed runs.
There are more crazy stats from the event. In total, there were 139 individual speed runs, 187 prizes, over 22,000 individual donors and over 30,000 donations. All in one week.
This was actually my first time watching but I fell in love with the incredible event, in which volunteers from around the world gather to speed run their favourite games for fun (and to see if they can beat their PBs of course).
The final run of the event was the Nintendo classic Earthbound.
The entire event was streamed live on Twitch so if you missed the event or want to check out any of the runs, you can watch all of them back on GDQ's Twitch or YouTube channels.
Games Done Quick's next event will be at the beginning of next year, from the 7th to the 14th of January.
