Many companies are utilizing legacy systems that have become out-dated and fragile, and are inflexible to changing business models as a result. Preserving these legacy systems is tedious and can prove ineffective for your company's changing needs. To continue growth and accessibility in this changing world, it's important to build systems that are scalable and offer the best way for your users to access information. Enterprise integration works to combine processes, systems, and technologies with the intent of optimization to enable the ability for your customers, vendors, and partners to make quick and informed decisions in lieu of any perceived obstacles or opportunities.
Setting goals to be able to timely identify information, provide relevant and correct information, perform real-time updates to information, and coordinate business processes will optimize your enterprise integration and allow it to adapt to your enterprise models as you grow in size and complexity. Availability of information in real-time allows it to be accessible for support, monitoring, and control, and it requires more than the newest business information to stay relevant, encompassing information accumulated as new legislations, customer opinions, and new technologies emerge. Ayoka enterprise integration services will help you achieve these goals by providing agile, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) that integrates existing assets and providing standards-based services that allow you to automate, reuse, re-purpose and share processes across your entire network regardless of client systems and languages. Integration also ensures ongoing compliance with governmental and industry-mandated regulations and streamlines workforce resources across disparate environments. In addition to reducing IT costs, enterprise integrations enhance productivity and improve time-to-market of services.
Making the decision to integrate your enterprise's processes, systems, and technologies to enable mobile or remote accessibility can allow you to build on your company's existing assets while reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of out-of-the-box solutions. With Ayoka, you can be sure that your integration will be cross-platform compatible and mobile friendly to allow for optimal accessibility of your company's data as you see fit, resulting in greater interaction between customers, vendors, partners and entire business divisions.

Forest Service Lifts Motorized Travel Ban for Pole Mountain
Nick Learned
Nick Learned Published: May 25, 2016
United States Forest Service
The U.S. Forest Service has lifted a months-long ban on motorized travel on the Pole Mountain unit of the Medicine Bow National Forest, just in time for Memorial Day weekend.
The Laramie Ranger District implemented the temporary road closures earlier this year due to a combination of wet conditions and years of damage to resources and roads.
"It has helped for the last three years to be able to temporarily close those roads during the wet time of year," says Aaron Voos, Forest Service spokesman. "It's really helped cut down on damage to the actual road beds."
Voos says wet conditions exacerbate wear on forest roads and damage to soil and vegetation caused by illegal off-road travel.
Voos says folks will be able to access all roads except the 707A road by this weekend. That road remains closed due to a washout, but the Forest Service expects it to be repaired this summer.
Road crews paid extra attention to the 700 road, also known as the Vedauwoo road, which was damaged by moisture and heavy use over the last few years. Voos expects the road will be open before this weekend, potentially as early as Thursday.
Forest Service officials emphasize that visitors must stay on designated routes; off-road travel is illegal. Motor vehicle use maps are available for free at the Laramie Ranger District Office or online at this link.
The Forest Service says it is the user's responsibility to know where they are and what types of restrictions may be in place when accessing public lands.
The Vedauwoo and Yellow Pine campgrounds are open. The Tie City campground remains closed due to snow and hazardous trees, but Voos says the campground will open later this summer once it has been cleaned up.

[oh-my-zsh] Random theme '/Users/maks/.oh-my-zsh/themes/tjkirch.zsh-theme' loaded...

But still see the same theme. I have already reloaded mac, but no result. The same result in Terminal and iTerm
Update:
Not all themes fails. This one works: trapd00r but with error: prompt_jnrowe_precmd:3: command not found: zsh_path. Others not working.
Update 2:
linuxonly theme works too:
[oh-my-zsh] Random theme '/Users/maks/.oh-my-zsh/themes/linuxonly.zsh-theme' loaded...
mac
maks@Makss-Mac:s047->/Users/maks (0)

but with error:
Can't open perl script "/home/scp1/bin/foopath": No such file or directory

A: Do you have a custom PS1 that is overriding the prompt from the theme you have selected?

*

*Check you don't have any additional lines in ~/.zshrc beyond the default?

*

*Backup your .zshrc

*Delete all lines beyond export PATH=$PATH:/…

*Reload your Terminal

*Do you have any plugins that are messing with things?

*

*Check ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/ for any additional plugins.

*Remove all your plugins from your ~/.zshrc and reload your Terminal.

*Check you don't have any additional lines in your ~/.zprofile?
mv ~/.zprofile ~/.zprofile-bak

…and reload your Terminal. (Put back with mv ~/.zprofile-bak ~/.zprofile)
Note: trapd00r and linuxonly show the same errors for me

A: Do you have your iTerm profile set to report 256 colors?


Last week I made the reluctant decision to take the bus into work.
Usually I prefer to take the train as it's much quicker but I had much on my mind and I thought I would benefit from the extra thinking time.

'POINT AND SHOOT' - Wedding footage from December 2015 from MakeYourName on Vimeo.
A couple-weeks back, I uploaded a video from one of our wonderful 2015 wedding projects and as I was writing the accompanying copy I mentioned that this was a project in which we'd captured some of our very-favorite footage of any we've shot so far. It was, as the title suggests: point and shoot!
… so when I was looking at it again yesterday I gave it a little thought. If I had been in those same conditions the very-first day I gave serious thought to shooting video, could I have shot the same video? If not, why?
Well, good question! For a number of reasons.
My skill-level? Years of experience working in my favor? My gear?
I am undoubtedly more skilled. Years of shooting and learning on the job has seen to that. For the first couple of years, I shot on pretty basic gear and had to make the best of it.
I don't have the first footage I ever shot but I remember what it looked like (pretty gross!) but I still have the camera it was shot on, however and keep it as a last-ditch/bad weather backup and knock-about stills camera; It's a Canon 600d (or Rebel T3i in the USA) loaded with Magic Lantern and usually partnered with a vintage Pentax prime lens. I learned on this camera, earned money with it, built the foundations of a business with it and owe it much but it's really showing its limitations these days.
There's a commonly-held adage around video circles: 'The best camera is the one that you have'… which is a nice thought, and true to a point, but when you are charging people money for your labor it's frustrating to spend half of your creative energy trying to cover up the deficiencies of your gear.
The results are great. More than sufficient for our wedding business… and yet the march of time conspires to render them almost 'obsolete'! Thus does the march of desire, we crave newer, better, more pixels. The c100 mk.1 in particular is particularly venerable in early 2016…. and yet! The video above is shot with it. Tell me that isn't beautiful footage. The a7s has also been superseded by a mk. 2 which is of course, better; it shoots 4k for one.
The thing is, our clients are usually not knowledgable about this stuff. They don't care. I'm sure there is the odd exception but mostly they couldn't give a crap about 4k at this point. What the absolutely ARE though, is discerning. They can tell a quality product and they know they can get it. Just because it's 4k, it doesn't mean that it's better.
That said, I've been wrestling with all of this. I know that I'll start shooting EVERYTHING in 4k at some point but when is that? Is it this summer? Next year? Honestly, when we do commercial projects above a certain size, we just hire cameras in because it makes much more sense that way for us, rather than owning $35,000+ cameras. What, though, do I need to own?
There a wealth of information out there. The internet has many answers but just as many follow-up questions that aren't always answered conclusively. Everyone has their own opinion and many of those opinions speak from experience.
So. What's the point of all this? The answer to the first question above: I couldn't have shot that footage when I first started filming. HOWEVER, if I had handed 2012 rookie me the same gear I shot it on in 2015, I would have got close; in fact, I think the the c100 Mk.1 was actually released at that point.
The march of time and technology rolls on but a great image is still a great image, despite formate to a great extent. There are too many variables to be right, to always have the perfect camera for the perfect situation.
Have I answered any questions here? Probably not. Enjoy the footage. I'll keep wrestling!


Removing lead from contaminated soil shows mixed results Levels of toxins in children's blood go down but not as much as had been expected.
BOSTON -- A major study of Boston children shows that removing lead from contaminated soil in back yards can reduce the level of the toxic substance in children's blood, but not as much as had been expected, according to federal officials.
A similar study was conducted in Baltimore, where children showed even less of an improvement in blood lead levels than those in Boston, officials said. The results of the Baltimore study have not been released.
The finding raises fundamental questions about how a key urban health problem should be addressed and about whether federal Superfund cleanup of lead-contaminated soil would help, say public health and government officials.
Lead concentrated in the soil is considered one of the top three sources of lead poisoning, behind paint and tap water drawn from lead pipes. Up to 4 million children nationwide are considered lead-poisoned, a condition that can cause brain damage.
The lead in the soil is the result of emissions that came from autos before restrictions were placed on the use of leaded gas, and from lead-based paint, which is still present in many older homes.
"There is a problem with soil, but soil removal as a strategy is certainly not the one you would want to use up the bulk of the resources for lead prevention activities," said Alonzo Plough, Boston's deputy commissioner for public health, who was involved with the Boston study released yesterday.
The $5.4 million, 5-year study, paid for by the federal Superfund, removed lead-contaminated soil around 152 homes and measured any improvements in the blood lead levels of children living in those homes. Soil removal cost between $5,000 to $10,000 per property, said David McIntyre, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency official.
Instead of the expected average decrease, the study found only the soil removal decreased lead levels by half or less, Mr. McIntyre said.
The blood lead levels probably did not go down as much as expected because the children were exposed to lead through other routes, said EPA officials.
As a result of the Boston study, Julie Belaga, EPA regional administrator, yesterday announced a plan to treat the lead problem from a holistic perspective, looking not only at soil, but also at dust, paint and drinking water.

Impacts of Air Pollution on Animals
The below article talks about air pollution, air quality, impacts of air pollution on animals, along with some frequently asked questions about the impacts of air pollution on animals.
Does air pollution have an impact on animals?
Just like the impacts, humans would face due to air pollution, animals too face serious impacts as a result of prolonged exposure to poor air quality. The most common health effects observed amongst animals due to poor air quality are birth defects, increased rates of diseases, lower reproductive rates, etc. (Rutledge K. et.al., 2011).
About Air Pollution
Air pollution is a result of multiple sources of emissions globally, that let out toxic airborne pollutants into the atmosphere, which has the potential to harm human, animal, and plant health. It causes severe damage to surrounding habitats and ecosystems and can take various forms such as pollutants in solid, liquid, or gaseous states. Air pollution is majorly produced by mindless anthropological activities such as industrial emissions, smoking, vehicular emissions, burning of waste, usage of chemical agents that emit volatile organic compounds, etc. There are environmental reasons such as volcanoes or wildfires, that contribute to poor quality, as well; however, there are increasing rates of these environmental disasters being triggered by careless activities of humans.
WHO estimates that about 99% of the global population lives in areas that far surpass the set standards for air quality and most of these populations are from lower or middle-income countries. Air pollution is vastly observed in developing countries and larger cities, where emissions are not considered of prime importance, and economic development is considered over environmental protection.
It is in such cases that animals and other ecosystems are disturbed as their habitats are being destroyed in our greed for profits. As countries promote deforestation for new infrastructures or lease out protected lands for extractive industries, we are providing private and public actors with the permission to destroy these habitats, which have chronic impacts on the sustenance of animals and increase the human-wildlife conflict.
Air Pollution and Animals
Effects of air pollution on animals have been researched for years, and various studies show that the impacts observed vary across the species observed and the habitat in which they live. Air pollution has been found to cause respiratory illnesses, cancer, and even death amongst animals. The sections coming up will talk in brief about some impacts observed in animals due to air pollution.
Air pollution and animal health
Just as air pollution has impacts on human health, it is the same for animal health. The only challenge is that it is harder to diagnose such cases as diseases in animals develop over long periods of time and may not be easily identified. Studies have shown that toxic emissions from vehicles, factories, industries, etc. have impacts on the respiratory systems of animals, leading to increased difficulties in breathing during their adulthood. It has been reported that exposure to toxic airborne pollutants has often altered genetics and caused mutations and cancer amongst some animals. The most vulnerable animals to these effects are species that live close to human settlements and man-made roads. Not only does this destruct their natural habitat and behaviors, but it also drastically reduces their life spans, causing for extinction or threat for extinction amongst various species such as pandas, tigers, koalas, etc.
Exposure to toxic pollutants affects reproductive systems, thus adding another dangerous element to the threat of extinction and increased risks and possibilities of infertility or disabilities. Animal immune systems are compromised at the face of man-made pollutants, thus making them immunocompromised and it puts them at an increased risk for any form of illness. The most deadly of these is respiratory illnesses such as ashtma, bronchitis, and even cancer. The impact of air pollution is much worse on animals as diseases onset slowly and animals do not have the kind of systems that humans do to help them with their health concerns. This reason specifically makes it more dangerous for animals to be exposed to air pollution as they could develop serious conditions such as leukemia, neurological disorders, heart diseases, brain damage, etc. and it would never be diagnosed or treated.
Animal health risks and vulnerabilities
Animals are more vulnerable to respiratory illnesses than humans as they have more sensitive respiratory systems. Animals require clean air for survival, and therefore their respiratory systems overwork to compensate for the lack of clean air. The effects of pollution in animals would vary from species to species but the effects of exposure are harmful nonetheless. Animals are quite often sensitive to changes in air quality, and usually display some symptoms that denote a decline in their health due to air pollution, some of these symptoms include (Sam, 2021):
Eye irritation and infections
Inflammation of the lung tissue, characterized by bouts of coughing; and increased breathing difficulties
Increased rates of asthma attacks
Liver damage, especially when animals do not have access to clean sources of water
Loss of sense of smell, especially amongst animals that use it to find food such as sea turtles or whales
Decreased abilities to do their daily activities such as foraging for food or flying.
Long-term health impacts
Effects of air pollution on animals could also cause long-term damage to their health. Lung damage is the most commonly observed chronic impact and is found most commonly in birds. Pollutants are able to enter respiratory systems and lodge in the lung tissues, causing inflammation and leading to severe health effects including lung cancer, asthma, or bronchitis. Similarly, pollutants can lead to increased cardiac stress amongst animals and can be usually observed through their increased blood pressures. This could be attributed to two factors, either their respiratory systems having to work overtime for clean air is stressing their cardiovascular system, or the pollutants that have entered their body is creating a blockage with a possible rupture in their arteries, and due to the lack of sufficient oxygen, their hearts are having to take extra work to meet the body's needs.
Just as humans face inflammation when in contact with toxic pollutants, so do animals. Several researchers have observed that animals have inflammations of their eyes, nose, skin, etc. on exposure to air pollution. This inflammation is their body's response to fighting the new pollutant that has entered their body, thus causing an allergic response in their system, causing inflammation.
Commonly observed impacts
Below are some impacts observed on different kinds of animals due to air pollution:
On Pets: Studies show that pets face an increased risk for tumors when there is prolonged exposure to harmful airborne pollutants. Increased particulate matter concentration has been found to cause increased cardiac arrests n dogs, and there is an increasingly alarming trend of veterinarians attributing pet deaths to the effects of air pollution.
On Amphibians: Studies on amphibians have found that air pollution has triggered changes in their physiology and behaviors. An increase in ozone concentrations impairs their immune systems and makes them vulnerable to illnesses.
On Birds: There are a number of studies being conducted on birds, specifically to identify the impacts of air pollution. These studies have reported that birds are directly impacted due to air pollution, specifically those caused by emissions from factories and industries that emit larger particulate matter that is capable of damaging a birds' respiratory system. It has also been found that the increase in pH of water bodies has also reduced their preying activities as species are being killed due to increased environmental degradation, and food for them becomes scarce.
On Fish: Marine ecosystems are largely affected by air pollution, especially since waterbodies are capable of acting as carbon sinks, and due to the fact that increased air pollution causes increased risks for acid rains. Both of these factors contribute to ocean acidification, threatening the very sustenance of marine ecosystems, and severely destroying natural habitats. Changes in the properties of water have also caused for relocation of several native marine species and have thus contributed to the decrease in the number of these species.
On Insects: Insects are extremely susceptible to small changes, and this includes air pollution. Insects rely on crops and other insects for their food, and bioaccumulation of toxic pollutants causes an impact on their health, leading to adverse impacts on their health. While insects are more resilient than birds and other animals, these changes will eventually force insects to relocate from their native habitats in order to survive. Their resilient characteristics have stemmed from their ability to digest organic waste, and if they were forced to relocate or if they were to go extinct, it would cause an organic waste buildup.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Does air pollution have an impact on animals?
Are animals able to adapt to increasing levels of pollution?
Yes, over the years animals have adapted to anthropological changes that have occurred around them, causing them to modulate their behaviors and activities to suit the changes they observe every day. We can see this behavior amongst almost all kinds of species, from raccoons who scavenge for food from our waste to monkeys recognizing food amongst humans and raiding spots in search of food. Therefore, it is inevitable that animals would have to take some form of action to get away from pollution, this would be through relocating from their natural habitat, changing their predatory activities, shrinking their habitats, etc. just so that they can survive. Often the lack of clean water bodies and loss of their habitats often force them to relocate to other areas, during which there is increased wildlife-human conflict, leading to a large number of deaths amongst animals. Over time, scientists have observed more resilient genetics amongst animals, that make it capable for them to survive these changes caused by pollution.
Could animals survive climate change?
Yes, there are several studies being conducted on observable changes amongst different species, as triggered by climate change. These studies being conducted to recognize evolutionary practices, have forced researchers to identify why these changes are being made, and it was reported that most changes are being triggered by their bodies' need for adaptive measures to survive climate change, this could be through larger ears, beaks, legs, etc. They are changing their body characteristics to adapt to the needs of their local climate. More information on this can be found in the following article (Franklin J., 2021).

Government Measures taken for Air Pollution: India
Government Measures taken for Air Pollution: China


Within the next fifty years, China will probably overtake the United States as the world's dominant hegemonic power. When this happens, historians will ask "when was the turning point?" Indeed, at what point did America begin to decline? The answer is in the policies of the past administration, that of President George W. Bush.
The Bush presidency can be held in such low regard because of its economic policies. During his 2000 campaign, Bush touted himself as a typical fiscally conservative Republican who would cut government spending and make economically responsible decisions.
Ironically, the complete opposite held true. Before Bush ascended into the White House, the United States, for the first time in decades, was producing record surpluses that could be used to pay down the debt. By the time Barack Obama replaced our 43rd president eight years later, he was faced with a federal deficit of approximately one trillion dollars and a debt of nearly $12 trillion.
This state of affairs was the by-product of unrestrained fiscal profligacy. First, Bush passed a series of unnecessary tax cuts catered to the rich, resulting in billions of dollars of lost revenue and tax receipts. Then, with the onset of the so-called War on Terror, the government invested copious amounts of resources defeating insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq and nation-building in those two countries. Meanwhile, the administration passed into law Medicare Part D, a program which entails the government pouring massive amounts of funds into the insurance industry to provide prescription drugs to seniors.To cap this all off, there was the financial meltdown of 2008, which was in no small part spurred on by the administration's continued support of deregulation of the financial services sector, low interest rates, and the practices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac concerning mortgages.
The subsequent infusion of Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds into institutions crippled by toxic assets, in addition to the precipitous decline in tax revenue caused by the great recession, also did not bode well in terms of our immediate fiscal outlook. I am not going to debate the merits of every single one of the Bush Administration's actions. Rather, I lament the fact these policies have left us with a seemingly insurmountable level of federal debt. Past empires, from the Romans to the Ottomans, have crumbled in part due to a lack of control over their respective economic situations.
Similarly, if we refuse to solve our debt crisis, we will face enormous interest payments, a lack of investor confidence, a decline of the value of the US dollar and a resistance by our major creditors, such as China and Japan, to cooperate with us.
In the end, this downward spiral could portend potential doom for the federal government, and an inability of it to provide essential services and administer the rule of law.
Fortunately, we are not at this level yet. However, I am pessimistic about the prospect of Congress coming together on this problem in the near future.
There are very legitimate concerns about whether either cutting spending or raising taxes, even on the rich, is appropriate during a recession.
And, neither Democrats nor Republicans are committed to making difficult decisions with potential short-term political ramifications.President Obama's announced freeze on non-defense discretionary spending, as well as a fiscal commission, are steps in the right direction. Contrary to conservative rhetoric, he is, in reality, far from the extravagant spender he has been caricatured as, to his credit. However, there is certainly no guarantee that Congress will act upon the commission's recommendations. This is especially the case with Republicans, who have collectively resolved that they will oppose any major initiative Obama endorses.
And if Congress fails, what will we have left? No solutions for long-term solvency, and only political inertia, paralysis, and the catastrophic fiscal legacy left by President Bush. I hope we can do better.

22 Jun, 2019 Nicholas Shorestein Free Picks, NFL 0
Welcome Back Everyone!
The Blues have hoisted the Stanley Cup and Kawhi Leonard has dismantled another NBA Super Team. I'd say that makes it time to take a look at some value bets for next NFL season. Last season, I had a successful run at my win totals future bets. I went 2-1 taking the Ravens and Saints Over Win totals, and I had my well documented failure in taking the under on the Rams win total.
Here's the first one that I like so far:
Pittsburgh Steelers Over 9 Wins (-115):
Biggest Reasons Why Pittsburgh Failed in 2018:
The Antonio Brown/Le'veon Bell dramatic saga. The Steelers were an absolute mess last season both on and off the field. Antonio Brown showed that he was a major problem in the locker room fighting with virtually every member of his team. While he is probably the most talented receiver in the NFL, I think the Steelers will be relieved of his drama and can focus on building a team with the right characters moving forward. I think the same can be said about the uncertainty that came with Le'Veon Bell last year. Weekly, you'd hear reports that he was "maybe" coming back, but he was ultimately a no show at the end of the day. The coaching staff and leadership didn't correct the situation until it was far too late. No one on the team pulled in the right direction and this led to mistrust and lack of confidence in the brain trust of the organization. Never underestimate culture in an NFL locker room.
Why it will change in 2019: Simply put, the two talented clowns in Bell and Brown are history and someone else's problem now. Clearly, they caused the most issues in the locker room. It appears that management has decided to pass on skilled drama in favor of football character. They've refocused the core values of the team and I think it will pay dividends in the long run. While I have historically ridiculed Tomlin's football acumen, I think he generally gets the most out of his players.
The Steelers, of all teams, have had no problem finding talent at receiver throughout their recent history. Hines Ward, Plaxico Burress, Santonio Holmes, Emmanuel Sanders, Martavis Bryant (for a short run) and Antonio Brown were all home grown prospects of the Steelers system. JuJu Smith-Schuster should carry the torch going forward at the position. Bottomline, I am not worried about the offense whatsoever. They still have a talented offensive line, and James Conner proved that he can be a weapon in the running game.
Anemic Home Pass Defense. Over the last decade, Pittsburgh has generally been one of the toughest venues to play in. The windy conditions, cold weather, and rugged playing surface have historically made it very difficult to throw and kick. But in 2018, opposing QB's lit up Heinz Field.
Why it will change in 2019: The past two seasons have shown that the Steelers can still rush the passer effectively.
I think their biggest problem has been their conservative zone scheme. Shazier's absence has been glaring in the middle of the field. I think that drafting an athletic linebacker in Devin Bush will help mitigate these coverage deficiencies that have killed the Steelers for the past two seasons. On average, they surrendered a 105 QB rating at Heinz field in 2018. Only the Detroit Lions, who play in a dome, put up a worse number than that. I am going out on a limb and saying there is absolutely zero chance that happens again. There is way too much talent on that roster to perform that poorly in a typically windy/inclement weather environment that has rushed the passer at elite levels for 2 straight seasons.
Big Ben was Sloppy. Big Ben was sloppy last season (both literally and figuratively). He needs to be more efficient and take the easy throws when they are available. Too many times, I see him go for the risky home run throw when there is a wide-open player at the first down marker. Roethlisberger had 4 multi INT games and threw a handful of back breaking picks in the red zone late in critical games (Denver being the most inexcusable). I will continually pound the idea that yards are the most overrated statistic as Big Ben threw for a career high 5k yards last season and the Steelers had arguably their worst season in a decade. That should be all the proof you need.
Why it will change in 2019: Roethlisberger has had a great track record of rebounding from bad seasons. His two worst QB ratings were followed up by two of his best.
Despite his high volume of picks, he had great protection last season (sacked on only 3.37% of pass attempts). The offensive line is a strength of this team and they should improve their running game. He is now relieved of the burden of forcing it to Brown and he should feel more comfortable spreading it around. They've added a talented veteran wideout in Moncrief, and I think getting Vance McDonald the ball more will be a priority.
He's contractually secured for the next couple years; unlike last year, as his future was a little up in the air with a newly drafted QB. While I'm not counting on Ben to start the TB12 diet, I wouldn't be surprised if he was more motivated and in better shape coming off their most embarrassing season yet.
Too Much Hype in 2018. I think the Steelers had started to believe all the hype that had been injected into them over the past few seasons by those who cover the NFL. I honestly don't think they put in the work that they needed to for the past two years. It's inexcusable for a roster like Pittsburgh's to lose to the Raiders outright and blow a multi TD lead against a conference rival (Chargers).
Why it will change in 2019: The story of the AFC North this offseason has unquestionably been the Cleveland Browns. They've made the big splash type moves in the offseason, and I think they have become the story of the NFL. With all the hype around Cleveland, I think this a perfect time to buy low on one of the perennial contenders in the NFL:
I think it is rare to get a consistent team like Pittsburgh at the 9-win level. I think they will play this season angry and with something to prove. They have always been much more effective with an underdog type mentality. I expect them to get to 11 wins, and I think you'd get much more value with Pittsburgh or Baltimore to win the AFC North over Cleveland.

Judd resumes touring Thursday in wake of husband's bike accident
Wednesday, August 29, 2012 – Wynonna Judd said Wednesday she would resume touring tomorrow following a motorcycle accident in which her husband and drummer Cactus Moser had part of his left leg amputated. She also thanked fans for their support.
"We continue to feel loved and supported by the outpouring of messages from people around the world," Wynonna wrote on her web site Tuesday. "Cactus continues to improve every day as he begins his road to rehabilitation. We are looking forward to the day when we will be back together on stage again, and I believe we will be stronger than ever. Until then, I will be out on the road with the rest of the band while I wait lovingly and patiently for my husband to return to The Big Noise."
"We have received hundreds of inquiries from people wanting to show support to Cactus in some way. In lieu of flowers, gifts and cards, Cactus is asking for family, friends and fans to make a donation in his name to Homes For Our Troops, a non-profit, non-partisan organization committed to helping military personnel who have returned home with serious disabilities. Please visit www.homesforourtroops.org/cactusmoser to learn more. Cactus will be notified of every dollar donated in his name, and you can even include a message to him along with your donation."
Moser and Judd went for a ride together on separate bikes before her scheduled concert in Deadwood, S.D. on Aug. 18. Moser collided with an oncoming vehicle and was transported to a local hospital.
Judd resumes touring with her band The Big Noise this Thursday, Aug. 30 at Leelanau Sands Casino in Peshawbestwon, Mich. As promised, she also rescheduled shows originally scheduled for the week following the accident.

Heroic President's Cup semi-final win; Report & pics
After a fantastic weekend in Cork we finally have a chance to draw a breath and think about the heroic 80 – 75 win over a physically bigger Titan's team in the President's Cup semi-final. The winners had so many heros it's hard to know where to start. James Loughnane, with 19 points, was the MVP and his energetic contribution will be best remembered for his late steal and how he iced the free-throws to take the game to over time.However his continuous attacking of the basket left Titans in foul trouble late on and his pressure on Titans guards left them struggling to execute against a great team defence. Ronan O'Sullivan was the next highest scorer with 17 points. Ronan took a lot of the physical pressure inside when Paul Freeman was sitting out early on 3 fouls and played to the end despite crippling cramp in OT. However, Paul didn't let his side down and on his re-introduction dominated in the paint. In addition to his 15 points he added 15 rebounds. He was seriously pumped and dived on any loose ball as if his life depended on it. Paul was an inspiration to his younger team mates and has been a great acquisition for SSE Airtricity Moycullen this season. Paul has previously played with Titans and coached them to their most successful ever season when they won the National Shield.
Captain Dylan Cunningham had one of his best performances of the season. He posted 13 points and added 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals. He also made crucial shots in the run in. Chris McNairney chipped in with 6 points against his former team mates and gave solid minutes across the game. Sean Candon started and gave a big defensive performance in addition to adding 5 crucial points around half-time, 2 rebounds and 3 steals. Rory Gilson gave variation at the guard spot and, while not matching his scoring exploits of the Under 20 game, added a creditable 4 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Stephen O'Brien played his part and added a big 3 at a crucial stage. Regular contributors Darragh Mulkerrins, Ian Burke, and Under 18 pair Kyle Cunningham and Joe Tummon didn't get an opportunity to impress on the day but will no doubt clock up many more minutes this season.
Another hero was the club's voluntary Physio, Sonya Curran. Her hydration programme stood to the team at the latter stages as Titans visibly tired and she worked her magic in getting James Loughnane and Ronan O'Sullivan back into the game following injuries and cramp.
Sonya takes a nap between matches
Credit too must go to a tough Titans team who played really well and who, with their supporters, were gracious in defeat.
Coach Salva Camps led the team calmly from the bench, even late on when Titans had the momentum and Moycullen needed to eat into a five point deficit with less than 2 minutes to go. Overall, he and Assistant Coach Nollaig Cunningham will be satisfied with the season so far but there's lots of big matches to play including an important National League game against the Puff Summers led Team Left Bank Kilkenny this coming Saturday in the Kingfisher at 5.30pm. A big and appreciative home crowd is expected.
Almost ready

Q: Outlook for Mac keeps crashing with large mailbox I have a user that just bought a brand new MacBook Air and put Office for Mac on it.  He's trying to connect to our Exchange server where he has a ~17.5 GB mailbox.  The inbox starts downloading, gets to 699 items with 199 unread and Outlook crashes.  Does Outlook for Mac just not like huge mailboxes?
Also, are .ost files stored on the Mac like they are in Windows?

A: There is a limit of attachment size (10MB) with Outlook 2011 on Mac. You might be hitting that by the looks of your problem. It's entirely possible to change this setting on an Exchange server, even 2007.

A: After years of rebuilding Outlook/Mac databases, I can tell you unequivocally that Outlook Mac WILL crash/corrupt the database once email numbers in the InBox, Deleted and Sent Items (or any one of those particular boxes reaches into the low thousands.  DO yourself a favor and proactively prune the mailboxes of execs FOR THEM if you must.  Much easier than some of the corrupted database/mail loss nightmares I've endured...

A: No OST files in Outlook for Mac. The mails are stored in /Users//Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/
e.g.
:Messages paulhargreaves$ pwd
/Users/paulhargreaves/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Main Identity/Data Records/Messages
:Messages paulhargreaves$
:Messages paulhargreaves$ find . | wc -l
   50503

I have lots of mails over 10MB in my mailbox so it is unlikely to be some "10MB" limit. It's becoming difficult to find powerpoint documents smaller than 10MB these days.
I suspect the problem is elsewhere, unfortunately. Outlook for Mac can tend to crash but you can perform a recovery by holding the alt key when re-launching the app to perform a rebuild of the database.
Also check in Console to see what errors may be reported at the time Outlook is crashing. Sometimes, if you are lucky, it may give you something you can use to diagnose further.

A: There is no file size limit in the software - it's imposed server-side, either by your ISP or your Exchange server.

Business blogging is much more then maintaining an online log of events. It is blogging with a purpose to get more business. Business blogging is effectively a marketing channel to promote and increase the reach or gain more sales and conversions. It all boils down to ROI. There are a number of things that matters in business, like branding, conversions, reputation, fans and followers, reach and spread etc. Business blogging should have a positive effect on all of these factors with the best possible ROI.
When it comes to business blogging it is not the SEO value of content alone that is the priority but the quality of the article itself matters. A poor quality article can reflect poorly on the company. It might rank higher and bring a lot of traffic due to flaws in the search engines but this added traffic won't help if the reputation of the brand gets hurt by low quality content.
Balance your content requirements. Start with a set of featured content which is otherwise known as the flagship content that builds brand value. This is not the sort of content that is published every day but is published rarely and kept in the prominent positions of your blog and displayed as featured articles. Once you have a set of these ready, keep pushing regular articles to keep the site active.
Most content that is any good finds its way into social media at some point of time. For business blogging social media is a wide term. Following are the things that are most important in social media.
Catching Influencers – Influencers are people who have a large following. Celebrities, famous people, internet celebrities etc. are the ideal target group. Target your blog posts in a way that they share your content. This is not a one day's work; one has to build up a connection strong enough to get such a share. Start with basics like follow the target influencer and retweet and share their updates. Try to participate in their conversations and get some recognition. Once you get some sort of recognition, politely ask to share an update of yours. Keep repeating this process.
Building your own Profile – Nothing works on the social media unless you have engaging and active profiles yourself. Your social profiles are the ideal launch pads for your content, this is where your business blog posts will take off and get excellent shares and feedback on the social media. Make sure to update you profiles with five to eight updates a day, preferably with images or videos.
Following up and staying active – Social media is a place to gain feedback. However, if one is not active enough this feedback space can turn into an insane hotspot for complaints. For business blogging it is important to do reputation management and check their social space for customer relationship.
There are many things on the internet that can be achieved for free. You might via luck see some of your posts going viral. Yes, you can fight back and say that you have done hard work and thus you have great content that people like. But the issue with the hard work is that everyone does that already. What sets you apart from the crowd is something that you have to see for yourself. However the easy way out is to buy some advertising in facebook ads, twitter ads or stumbleupon, linkedin reddit and pinterest ads etc. All this is excellent to give you a push every time you wish for it.
Once the base is already built, it is time to integrate your business with your blog. Start with email subscription forms and integrate them into the blog. Run giveaways with products related to your business, set a contest trend like #GivingTuesday. From time to time without looking heavily promotional, try to pass out some business related posts along with several other natural posts.
One of those important things about having a blog is that it requires regular updates. Keeping disciplined with the updates helps and with every consistent effort the engagement and the reach of the blog increases. The number of comments, social shares and the reputation of the blog are affected positively with consistent updates.
There are a number of factors that determine effective business blogging. Quality of content, social reach, activity in the comments section and how much you engage with your community are all important factors to take care of. Business blogging is about blogging with a motive which is mostly connected towards getting a sale. So, at the end of the day, most of these factors of business blogging somehow connect you with a conversion at some point or the other.

Markets struggled to gain ground today as there were a lot of selling pressure throughout the entire day. Despite the down day, for most of January, thus far, we have seen this continual uptrend in markets, which is continuing to surprise me. At this point, I do not know how much longer it will last, but chart trends are definitely showing a slowing in momentum.
Commercial REITs have enjoyed record stock gains this past year. Those that were willing to roll the dice on them a year and a half ago have been rewarded significantly. At one point, there were many analysts who did not think any would survive the storm at the end of the day. However, this past year, from a stock price perspective, they have rebounded significantly.
My worry is what is driving this? Sure, lending markets have softened up a bit after being completely frozen for a year and a half. However, with exception to single family and multi-family financing (thank you Fannie and Freddie), good commercial loans are difficult to come by.
I am a professional in the real estate market and it is quite the paradox that we are seeing in today's market. Properties are trading, but in abnormal rates. Valuation spreads have become huge depending on property type and market density. All the major big buyers out there right now are... Wall Street (REITS). You know why? Because they are the only ones crazy enough to be buying at the prices they are offering.
I am amazed at what large portfolios have closed at what price, when looking at a variety of recent closings. When looking at the buyers pool, there is a clear separation of where the REITs are coming in at and where the private investors are. So why the gap?
REITs have the luxury of using other people's money. Much of their administration fees are made by doing actual transactions. In many times, these funds have deadlines in which funds need to be placed, or they will lose the funds. When that loss of funds can amount to millions in lost fees on behalf of the fund, you better believe that money will be placed. This is why, especially in more primary markets, you will see REITs offering 2007 prices for real estate today. Fundamentally, it doesn't make sense.
Unfortunately, many people investing in REITs are ignorant to what is happening and just want a chunk of their portfolio to be in real estate. REITs are the best option then right? I don't have the risk and responsibility for owning and managing a property, but I have equity in the upside. That's if there is upside. Many people are fooled into thinking that an increasing REIT stock price directly reflects the quality and value of their holdings. This is not the case. The stock price is relative to the demand of investors. It is hard to link that action to fundamental valuation.
As of now, it seems to be working for REITs, as there has been a big shift into real estate the past few months, as many investors are wanting to diversify a bit more out of equity markets due to fear of a near pullback. As a result, REITs have cash and they are spending it. The big question is are they sustainable or is it another Ponzi scheme? Mark my words, we have not seen the end to sunken REITs.
This is not to say that there are no legitimate REITs out there. Not at all. Just keep in mind that just because they have a rising stock price, this is not reflective of their real estate performance. In fact, many have had to slash dividends from around 5% to 1%. That definitely changes your return on investment. When buying into REITs, look up their recent transactions. Verify that they are not just maximizing volume as to make their managers rich. There are good deals out there, just not too many at this point. Do your due diligence before making a decision. Happy Trading.
When will we have the market crash you think? It seems the 2008 crash was totally fake. What do you think?
I think its more accurate to call the recovery fake. Fake being artificial interest rates backed by government purchasing... Artificial consumer spending due to many consumers no longer paying their mortgage (or credit card bills).
And a very sluggish stabilization of unemployment shows just how bad the overall economy remains.
The Government will not have an answer/policy for every new problem that arises, and unfortunately, if they are not careful, it could blow up in their face.
I like to idea of investing in high quality real estate investment trusts that invest in brick ands mortar buildings. Not only do you get an annual dividend that increases usually ever year but you also get the benifit of the increasing value of the reits brick and mortar buildings over time. And well selected real estate could very well out perform stocks. Another possitive factor is a hedge against inflation rents generally increase over time along with the property values of the reits real estate holdings. Reits are still great.
I would only invest in brick amd mortar reits. Not reits that invest in reit securities not mortgages.
