10 Best Weekend Trips from Kansas City


Arbitration clauses are standard provisions in many contracts, and counsel advising companies about such contracts are generally not surprised by their inclusion. But a recent federal decision indicates that such clauses may have broader application – including covering intellectual property disputes that do not directly relate to the subject of the contract.
Arbitration clauses are common in many contracts, including service contracts with large companies. They are usually understood to cover disputes over whether the services were properly provided or payments timely made. But what if a party that signed such an agreement later has a claim that the service is being abused by someone else to infringe its intellectual property rights?
A recent decision of a federal court in Connecticut, Edible International, LLC v. Google, LLC (D.Conn. 2018) held that the same arbitration clause would require arbitration of a later trademark infringement claim involving the services.
Counsel advising businesses signing service agreements, particularly with large providers like Google, need to be aware that service agreements they sign today may affect intellectual property enforcement efforts tomorrow. They may still conclude that it is worthwhile to do so – the service may be important or valuable to the company. But at a minimum businesses should understand what they are agreeing to.
Google operates an advertising service, the Google Adwords program. For a fee, businesses can purchase "keywords" that trigger advertisements when Google users search for the keyword terms. Edible International operates a series of franchises under the name Edible Pursuits, which sell cut fruits, particularly cut fruits in floral arrangements. In 2014, Edible International opened an advertising account with Google to use the Adwords program.
Google required customers for such services to agree to its Terms and Conditions. Among those was an arbitration clause, which required arbitration of all disputes and claim between Google and the customer that "arise out of or relate in any way to the Programs." The term "Programs" was broadly defined to include Google's advertising services.
The law is clear – if the dispute is within the arbitration agreement, then the Federal Arbitration Act requires arbitration. The court analyzed the language and concluded that the broad language – all "disputes" that "arise out of or relate in any way" to Google's programs encompassed Edible's trademark claims. So the case was stayed pending arbitration.
The result in Edible International, while probably correct given the broad language of Google's arbitration clause, would still likely be unexpected for most businesses. It is one thing to sign a service contract with an arbitration clause and then be required to arbitrate a trademark dispute over the services. Had Edible sued Google for giving it poor service, then the result would unexceptional. But here, Edible was forced to arbitrate a trademark infringement case that stemmed not from its own use of Google's services, but from alleged abuse of Google's services by an Edible competitor.
Businesses entering service agreements should understand that arbitration provisions may have broader application than they expect – they may extend to infringement claims related to the same services.

Surface Electromyography (sEMG) is a device which measures the amount of electrical activity your muscles release when they are contracting, more commonly known as muscle tension. Muscle tension is one of your body's natural defense mechanism to pain and injury, and over time, muscle holdings can become habitual and actually cause excess strain that may lead to misalignments in the spine and other joints of the body.
sEMG can be used to evaluate the status of the muscles in the body and can help the doctors determine the course of care. The doctor can compare results over time to track your progress and more effectively document your health. Sensors are placed directly onto your skin and receive the small electrical current, which comes from activated muscles. The strength and pattern of the signal is transferred to the computer screen for a visual display of the data. These images can be stored and referred back to in future appointments to assist in neuromuscular training and rehabilitation. After receiving chiropractic care to eliminate unnecessary holdings and correct misalignments, your sEMG should normalize and balance over time.

Can the Icelander's voice and chamber ensemble fill the Albert Hall ?
I'll be straight : I wasn't sure what to expect at this show, because I've never been a Björk fanatic as such. I loved – and saw live – The Sugarcubes as a teenager, I've raved to her Nineties Debut and Post era tracks, and I've enjoyed plenty more since, not least the intimacies of Vespertine [2001] and the wild expansiveness of Volta [2007]. I've been impressed with her choices of collaborator, and always considered her a vital cultural mover and shaker.
Bjork glowingBut there's never been that thrill at hearing of a new release or need to learn all the words to a song. Sometimes I've found the collaborations, the costumes, the virtual reality videos, the concepts or the electronic explorations the most interesting part of her work. And yes, just occasionally, I've found myself wishing she'd more often write songs with instantly catchy choruses, like she used to. All of which probably put me at odds with 99% of the gathered crowd at the Royal Albert Hall last night, who queued round the block to see Ms Gudmundsdottir perform her first show accompanied only by strings, and were clearly extremely excited to be there.
This set may have been stripped of electronic whistles and bells – but Björk still put on a show. She followed her chamber ensemble on to stage, wearing a duckling yellow cape stitched to a white plastic minidress with white platform shoes and a Chinese dragon-like, tendrilled mask/headress, to ecstatic applause, and began the careful picking out of wishes for a relationship from "Stonemilker" - the first and most immediately memorable song on last year's Vulnicura. Even with her face mostly covered, her presence was arresting, her movements simple but deliberate and her voice perhaps stronger than it's ever been. It's easy to think of her as a highly mannered singer, but here the catches and exaggeration of words were barely there – reduced to that simple care with articulation – and the strength and purity of her tone rang out.
Bjork singingAs she worked her way through the songs of Vulnicura in order, the string arrangements were subtle, with not a lot added to make up for the removal of the electronic and other sounds. There were gentle hints of early 20th century romanticism, and steadily the idea of Björk as composer made more and more sense. With each record she's moved further and further away from her alternative pop roots, perhaps putting up barriers to entry with the complicated meandering melody lines – it's hard to imagine anyone covering a latterday Björk song – but listening last night, the complexity of the counterpoint and number of insidious melodic hooks in the backing became very clear. You're expected to eschew expectations and give your attention fully to take in these songs, and in the concert hall context, rather than the atmosphere of a gig or rave, you are drawn right in close to their emotional realities.
Bjork's mask Vulnicura is more than anything a relationship breakup record, so those realities are painful, and when she reached the fourth track, "Black Lake", they became devastating. As on the record, the song structure periodically dissolves completely into orchestral drones that rise angrily, or fade to almost nothing, before the song tentatively re-starts. These felt like moments of horrible threat of annihilation or breakdown, but also brought home the note-perfect integration of Björk's voice and songwriting with the arrangements. Hearing her voice so bare brought home how, for all that she dresses up and explores ideas that are more-than-human, it is still a very human sound. And this in turn also made her lyrics, which can seem detached in their analysis of human feelings, hit brutally hard and directly. Her prosaic and factual approach to emotional intensities and abstractions made absolute sense.
After an interval, dressed in a fibre-optic lampshade and mask that showed more of her face, she dipped back into her back catalogue, getting wilder and wilder reactions each time a song intro sparked recognition in the audience. In particular two tracks from 1997's Homogenic – "Joga" and, in an encore, "Pluto" – worked brilliantly shorn of the heavy dance music production, while "Pagan Poetry" from Vespertine sparked an impromptu and extraordinarily well in-tune backing vocal singalong from the crowd, once more reminding how many hooklines are hidden beneath the lead vocal lines in Björk's songs. From the unflinching examinations of pain and resentment in the first half, the show had transformed into a glorious celebration, and the palpable love for the performer was infectious. Consider me a convert.

Q: Current Y Scroll Position: Always returning Zero I'm attempting to get the current Y scroll position that the end user is at when viewing a web page that has no iframes and I am using the following code:

var currentPosition = window.pageYOffset || document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop || 0;

This code works as expected on Android and PC devices as far as I can see.
However, on a physical iPhone 8 device using Safari, the value returned is always zero.
I had tested the iPhone 8 using Chrome Device Toolbar and it works as expected, so this could be an issue directly related to Safari.
Has anyone had this issue before, and if so, how did you overcome it?

Last month, I sadly had to give Secretary Shulkin an F when grading his first year as head of Veterans Affairs. Part of the issue was that there just wasn't enough work going on with six out of Shulkin's 13 areas where VA needs improvement. The President's recently released 2019 budget might take care of those six areas.
Or it can make things worse.
Access to care, community care, IT, capital assets, bureaucracy and veteran suicide are the points that didn't get graded last month. This is what the new FY19 almost $200 billion request says about each of those sections and possibly what can happen.
First, it may help if you understand how the whole VA budget thing works. Fiscal year (FY) 2019 starts on October 1, 2018, so these numbers don't really do anything until then. That said, reporting on FY18s actual budget number is impossible at this point because not everything will be reconciled until later this year. he VA starts this process sometime in the summer with the largest items working its way down to the smaller purchases by the end of August. The VA's fiscal department then does their magic and a final report is released by the end of the year. And this is why you see comparisons to FY 17 budget numbers here. Clear as mud now?
Bureaucracy wasn't addressed directly in the budget request. This is something that will need to be sorted in-house. Just to give you a little idea of what Shulkin has to fix, last year, 13 percent of the $2.1 billion that Congress gave to VA for the Choice Program went to pay admin fees. That's $273 million bucks! The president's budget request asks for $381 million to help fight the opioid epidemic. Sorting out VA bureaucracy alone can pay for this request.
The easiest part of this to sort out is the advance appropriations request. The recent government shutdowns explain why this is massively important to make sure veteran care is uninterrupted. The FY20 request is a 6.9 percent increase over what was requested for this line item for FY19.
Healthcare services and community care enhancements is a bit trickier and is where the VA can step into trouble with healthcare privatization. Simply throwing money into this line item won't fix things. The budget request states this will strengthen "VA's ability to furnish care in its own facilities." Yet, in the same paragraph, the Veteran Coordinated Access & Rewarding Experiences (CARE) Act is mentioned.
CARE will cut out a few problems like wait times and distance eligibility criteria for vets. It also consolidates several VA healthcare programs into one. But, make no mistake, this is the first step in VA privatization. So furnishing "care in its own facilities" actually means sending vets out to private care. And it comes along with a huge VA problem: paying bills on time and for the correct amount too. If CARE becomes a law, then the VA is forced to pay claims no later than 45 days after the bill is received.
Paying for private care has been an issue for VA. Invoices for medical care aren't process by the VA, they have contracts with two third-party administrators (TPA) to do this. Just one of those TPAs, a company called TriWest, recently had to let the VA know that they were being overpaid. It identified about 58,000 claims that had been improperly paid, resulting in about $35 million of overpayments by the VA. After doing its own investigation, VA's Contracting Officer sent a letter to both TPAs identifying approximately $89.7 million in duplicate payments.
Last year, more than 5.5 million claims had been made through the Choice Program and VA made a bulk payment of $1,987,442,688 to cover this. VA Inspector General's audit team reported that the bulk payment process used by the VA "significantly increased the opportunity for payment errors. The number of duplicate payments is thought to be in the tens of thousands.
The request from the White House states that out of the $4.2 billion for OIT, only $204 million goes to VA's legacy IT system. In the past about half of the entire IT budget has gone to the legacy systems, so the teeny $204 million might not go very far. VA is in the process of upgrading everything and that costs money. Last year the VA scrapped its supply ordering platform because staff didn't like to use it. It's only money, right?
The upgraded Electronic Health Records (EHR) system is a much needed improvement. But we won't even have the first EHR test site up this fiscal year. Once the contract is signed for this upgrade, it will be about a year and a half before the first medical center an even test the product. After that it will take seven to eight years before the entire VA is on the EHR system. Do you honestly believe $1.2 billion will last?
It was reported last year that it will take $18 billion to fix or upgrade all the department's buildings. There are about 400 vacant buildings and another 735 under-utilized facilities owned by VA. It costs $25 million each year to keep up maintenance on these places. The secretary announced that there aren't plans to close specific buildings right now, but he is working with Congress to develop a national strategy to modernize VA's infrastructure.
The FY19 request would allocate $1.1 billion for major construction projects. Some of these much needed improvements include a community living center in New York a spinal cord injury facility in Texas, expansion of four national cemeteries and $400 million will go to "address critical seismic issues at VA facilities." $707 million goes to minor construction projects which includes renovations at regional offices.
The only part of the budget that shouldn't give taxpayers agida is this part. The VA isn't known for doing well with construction projects. The soon to open medical center in Aurora, Colorado is explanation enough. Congress has decided that construction projects that cost more than $10 million would no longer be controlled by the VA, the Army Corps of Engineers manages those now. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO), wants to take things even further and limit the VA's control to only projects that cost less than $10 million.
The most wide-ranging study of veteran suicide in our nation's history was released by the VA last year. The agency looked at over 55 million healthcare records from 1979 to 2014, with all 50 states and territories included for the first time. Previous suicide reports from the VA have been based on data obtained from only 20 states and 3 million veteran records.
If there can be any good news in this report, it can be found in the small change to the number of veterans who take their own lives each day. In 2010 that number was 22, but by 2014 that number shrank slightly to 20. While the number came down, veterans are still 22% more likely to commit suicide than our civilian counterparts.
The VA is working every angle on this. Tele-mental health service is now provided through 10 regional hubs across the VA's healthcare system. There are now 13 mobile apps that veterans and their families can download and use the tools provided to help manage emotional and behavioral concerns. Readjustment counselors at the 300 community-based vet centers provide professional readjustment counseling to veterans and active duty servicemembers. When veterans can't make it to the Vet Center, one of the VA's 80 mobile vet centers heads out to reach as many rural-living veterans as possible.
If you would like to check out the requested budget, you can go here. VA's section starts on page 95.

LeBron James Loved His 21st Birthday Because He Could Finally Get Into Clubs
Ryan Nagelhout 12.30.17 2 years ago
LeBron James turned 33 on Saturday. A superstar since he was a teenager, James has been in the spotlight for most of his life. With that has come fortune, amazing accomplishments and the chance to do things few people in the world can do.
But there was one sacrifice James had to make when he became famous so young. According to him, it was tough to get into clubs when he was underage. That's why his 21st birthday was such a big deal, the Cavaliers superstar said on Saturday.
When reporters asked him to reflect on his past birthdays, he recalled how excited he was when he turned 21 because he could finally show up at a club and not get denied entry at the door.

Sam Phran (, ) is the southernmost district (amphoe) of Nakhon Pathom province, Thailand.

History
The district was established in 1896, then named Talat Mai District. It was renamed Sam Phran in 1917.

The name Sam Phran, meaning 'three hunters', refers to the three hunters according to local folklore about the construction of Phra Pathom Chedi.

The district was the site of the Kader Toy Factory fire in 1993, the worst industrial factory fire in history. The factory was owned by the Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group, a Thai transnational corporation and one of Asia's largest agribusiness firms.

Geography
The district is elongated in an east-west direction and neighbouring districts are (from the north clockwise) Mueang Nakhon Pathom, Nakhon Chai Si, and Phutthamonthon of Nakhon Pathom Province, Thawi Watthana district and Nong Khaem of Bangkok, Krathum Baen and Ban Phaeo of Samut Sakhon province, and Bang Phae of Ratchaburi province.

The main water resource of the district is the large Tha Chin River or Nakhon Chai Si River which meanders through the district in a southeasterly direction.

Sam Phran district has evolved as a ribbon development of tambons (sub-districts) along Phetkasem Road, a major thoroughfare linking Bangkok with the cities of Nakhon Pathom and Kanchanaburi.

Economy
The district is the site of two Wai Wai noodle factories, one each in Om Yai and Rai Khing.

The Tha Kham Sub-district (usually written Takham), is the centre of the Roman Catholic Christian religion in Thailand. Michael Michai Kitbunchu, Cardinal of Thailand, was born in Sam Phran and many Catholic religious institutes have their convents, monasteries, and headquarters in the area as well as Thailand's major seminary. The largest and most important installation in the Catholic enclave of Tha Kham is the campus shared by Joseph Upatham School, one of the largest combined kindergarten, primary, and secondary schools in the country. It is one of the 43 schools and colleges governed by the Education Department of Bangkok Archdiocese (EDBA). The Ban Phu Waan Pastoral Training Centre, a leading Catholic conference and convention centre is also here. There are several other large private schools in Tak Kham including St. Peter's school (mixed gender, grades K–9) also governed by the EDBA in the parish of St. Peter, and Marie Upatham, an independent Catholic school for girls in the Tha Kham village of Mor Sii.

Sam Phran is the site of the National Police Academy and numerous other colleges including St. Joseph Intertechnology College, a Catholic vocational school and teacher training centre also governed by the EDBA.

Administration
The district is divided into 16 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 137 villages (mubans). Sam Phran is a town (thesaban mueang) and Om Yai a sub-district municipality (thesaban tambon). There are a further 15 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

The MergeAnimator class is an animator that merges outputs from its subanimators.
The MergeAnimator class is used to merge the outputs of multiple animators applied to different parts of a model. The range of nodes affected by a merge animator is the union of the ranges affected by its immediate subanimators, restricted to the range of the merge animator itself.
The MergeAnimator class supports any number of subanimators. If any subanimators have overlapping ranges of affected nodes, then subanimators further to the right in the animator tree take priority over their predecessors.
Animator The MergeAnimator class is a special type of animator.

The vice president of global philanthropic organisation Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors has warned Australia not to get complacent, during a lecture on how philanthropy is responding to uncertain political times.
Mae Hong has been giving a series of lectures in Australia, hosted in partnership with Australian Executor Trustees (AET), on the subject of philanthropy and democracy.
According to Hong, since the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, the global philanthropic and not-for-profit sectors have had to respond rapidly to changes that have reversed years of progressive social, environmental and political policy.
She told Pro Bono News the situation in the US was "quite alarming".
"I've actually titled the public lecture American Vertigo, because we do feel like we're having a collective vertigo experience which involves a sense of swaying, spinning, being off balance and being disorientated and pulled to one direction," Hong said.
Hong, an internationally recognised grantmaking and philanthropy expert who is also a former chair of grantmakers for Effective Organizations, said her message to the Australian audience was "don't let this happen to you".
"In many ways I think that you are witnessing some of the symptoms and conditions that are very, very similar to what led to our current situation in the United States, and not just in the United States, it really is all over the world," she said.
She said it "didn't just happen overnight".
"It was a very sort of gradual erosion of the public spaces in which people of different opinion, different life experience and different background can actually interact with each other, and in many ways for all the benefits that we see from technology, one of the side effects of how much technology is driving our lives these days is that it has allowed us to really all live in our own echo chambers," Hong said.
She said she hoped people would come away from her lecture "awakened to the urgency of needing to pay very close and rigorous attention to what's happening".
"What we learned in the United States is that we were not paying enough attention and we missed it," she said.
Hong said philanthropy had an essential part to play in the current climate, and had taken on a role in preventing some of the regressive policies coming out of the federal government.
"I see philanthropy, as really being such a key and pivotal aspect of civil society and the voluntary sector," she said.
AET head of philanthropy Ben Clark, told Pro Bono News that Hong highlighted the need for philanthropy to be agile and keep up with the changes.
"When we were thinking about and discussing Mae's visit here, and the option of trying to impart some insight and broader education piece, one of the things that we were really interested in was how philanthropy has essentially had to pivot to address the regression of years of socially progressive policy in the US," Clark said.
Hong said philanthropy needed to "develop some very new muscles" to be able to react quicker.
"Philanthropy is not known for being quick on it's feet and for responding quickly and we have had to develop some very new muscles in order to be able to adapt and respond and pivot quickly," she said.
"I would say we still have a long ways to go, but we're learning because the pace of assaults that are coming down the lane is just relentless, and we have to be able to move and deploy resources and counteract harmful policies, much more quickly that we did have to before.
Hong and Clark both agreed that advocacy was a current focus for philanthropy.
"Speaking off the back of the Philanthropy Australia led summit in Parliament, advocacy was the key focus from a philanthropic investment perspective and the importance of building awareness of what's happening out there and both sides to the coin," Clark said.
"But it is interesting from our own perspective, we're still big believers in the need for effective grantmaking at a capacity building level within organisations, and specifically within the early – to mid-career level because whilst we're working in a rapidly evolving environment, the long term implications for the sector is a greater reliance on its service delivery.
Hong said civic engagement was another "huge area of focus".
"The other areas that we're seeing really emerging is the whole field of civic engagement and really needing to activate, involve, listen, convene people together to really be in the dialogue, to be able to exercise and express their voice and make themselves heard," she said.
She said philanthropy had to be "guided and directed by the will of the people".
"I think that is the key and the secret sauce to any effective philanthropic effort," she said.
But she said to understand the will of the people could take an "extreme effort" on the part of those at the decision making table.
"You have to exert quite a bit of effort in order to really try to find where is the voice and will of the people most affected. It takes some effort, it is a big time commitment on the part of foundations and it takes a new set of skills to be able to listen and build relationships in ways that foundations did not have to do before," she said.
Her lectures coincide with the announced that AET and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors have formed a strategic partnership which aims to support donors, and their advisers, in designing philanthropic strategies.
"We're thrilled to have a new best friend here in Australia," Hong said.
Clark said the lecture series formed part of AET's work on educating donors on how to frame their thinking and identify and evaluate philanthropic partners.
"For us we think that it is important that people keep abreast of the issues and are best positioned to deploy their philanthropic investments and so the lectures have been a really good mechanism to do that," he said.
He said the response to the climate in the US was a "positive sign for philanthropy".
"We see it through the democratisation, through people responding to the changes, not only in the US but geopolitically, by giving," he said.
"For me, that bodes really well, because what we do know is when people start giving, the majority of them really enjoy it and they become more engaged with it and I think that leaves us in a great position, because at the centre of philanthropy is this love of humanity.

Q: How to set port 44400 as default in Apache? My website work only if I run:

domain.com:44400

How to set port 44400 as default in Apache?
I need have access by domain.com not domain.com:44400

A: You could configure Apache to listen on port 80, and proxy to port 44400:
Add the following to your /etc/apache2/ports.conf file (assuming you already have port 44400 configured):
Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *:80

Then create a proxy virtual host in /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.com-proxy.conf (minimal configuration shown, YMMV):
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName domain.com
  ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
  ServerAlias www.domain.com
  ProxyRequests Off
  <Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  </Proxy>
  ProxyPass        / http://domain.com:44400/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://domain.com:44400/
  ProxyPreserveHost On
  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/domain.com_proxy_error.log
  LogLevel warn
  CustomLog /var/log/apache2/domain.com_proxy_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

And symlink to sites-enabled:
ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.com-proxy.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/domain.com-proxy.conf

Enable proxy modules and restart Apache:
a2enmod proxy
a2enmod proxy_http
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

A: You must use firewall (iptables) to redirect all traffic have destination port 80 to port 44400. Something like this
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s any/0 -d X.X.X.X --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 44400

Then you can access your website by typing in browser

Full day charters fishing out of Tamarindo aboard the Coyote 10 go offshore to troll for sailfish, marlin, tuna, and mahi-mahi. As time and weather allow, the charter may also do some inshore fishing, trolling for dolphinfish (mahi-mahi or, locally, dorado), mackerel, wahoo, tuna and other species, or bottom fishing for roosterfish, grouper, amberjack, snapper or shark.
The Coyote 10 is a 23' Mako sportfisher. Coyote 10 is powered by twin 90 HP Suzuki outboards and has a spacious cockpit with fighting chair, and covered seating area.


Part organizer, part artist, Justin Klosky strives to help people find organizational discipline in their lives. Through his company, the O.C.D. Experience, Justin brings full-service organization to high-profile clients and businesses across the country. Since becoming a regular guest on "Anderson," Justin has become the "in-house" Organizational Expert on Anderson Cooper's syndicated show. Justin also appears on other national shows such as "The Talk," as well as contributing to radio programs and print media outlets.
Justin now channels his OCD to bring organizational functionality to himself and others. Fully embracing new technologies, Justin is always eager to clean, organize, and teach the discipline to maintain organization through his company, The O.C.D. Experience.
O.C.D. has now made its mark in New York City, Los Angeles and Florida and other top US Cities.
Justin and O.C.D.'s services include organizing people's homes, performing client therapy by teaching organizational skills, staffing businesses for corporate clients, training Executive Assistants in the entertainment industry, working with a major NY Retailer to bring the O.C.D. Experience to their top elite shoppers, and training Housekeepers and Nannies and House Personnel to be more effective and efficient in their daily routines.
When not traveling between Los Angeles and New York City for work, Klosky loves playing the latest and most advanced video game systems, exploring up and coming trends in technology, having outdoor adventures, hosting game nights, and listening to and creating music. Justin has also just concluded a book deal with a major American Publisher, to be published in 2014.
I am working on my book titled "Organize & Create Discipline- An A-Z Guide to an Organized Existence" along with growing other divisions of the O.C.D. Experience. Always eager to expand the organizational consulting branch of the O.C.D. Experience, I am actively meeting and interviewing professional organizers throughout the nation to expand Organize & Create Discipline.
Where did the idea for the O.C.D. Experience come from?
The O.C.D. Experience, as well as Organize & Create Discipline, came from the simple fact that everyone needs to be better organized. Prior to me starting Organize & Create Discipline I was working for influential mangers, executives, producers, actors and directors in the entertainment business who all needed better organizational systems in their lives and business. When I found myself providing these services within my daily responsibilities I knew there was a demand for this and needed to follow the passion inside me to help others.
There is never a typical day for an entrepreneur. I am sure anyone reading this with OCD knows there is certainly never a typical day for someone who has OCD in the clinical form. I am always working on business development, interacting with clients, creating, prepping for upcoming speaking engagements, and traveling!
ACTION! The best way to bring anything to life is by acting on it. Nothing will ever get done if action isn't being taken. It is also vital to have creative, supportive and brilliant people surrounding you.
Handheld personal computers and devices excite me. It expands much further beyond this technology into nano technology, but I love where laptops are going. The age of integrated touch screens is upon us!
I worked for Benny Medina for period of my life and to this day I would say he was the hardest boss to have because of his desire for perfection in his life and naturally his clients careers. It certainly wasn't the worst job I had, as I worked as a busboy in my teens, but in my professional career it took the cake as the most challenging and emotional job. What I learned from Medina was that there was always a way! No was never an option! And if there wasn't a way…find one. I also learned to triple check an email before it went out to a client or someone we were working on a deal with. There is nothing less impressive than getting an email with spelling and grammar errors, especially when you are doing large deals with people. He was also very considerate as he always made a phone call to his friends on their birthdays no matter how busy he was. All lessons learned.
Not a damn thing. I firmly believe in fate and that we all are on a path with specific lessons to learn. It could be in this life or the next. All of our choices will lead us in a direction that will challenge us to achieve a greater purpose. We just don't know what that is until we pass the next test.
Get organized and stay organized. I live it, practice it, am constantly learning new ways to go about it. In the end saves me time, money and brain power.
You can never be in two places at once. A good friend taught me that being able to replicate my service and create a demand for the service I am providing will lead to more work and more need of me. The more people need me and the O.C.D. Experience the more successful my business will be and the demand will grow. It seems so simple, but it is the most complicated part of growing a business.
I'm working on a variety of organizational products that hopefully will empower people to make changes in their lives and better themselves. They will be available in 2013/2014.
I would change everything about the TSA, from their new screening procedures to their ineffectiveness, their inability to get masses of people through security in a timely and efficient manner… and allow people to feel comfortable while traveling. I would also work with them to establish a non-paid frequent traveler line for people who visit the airport more than four times a month.
I see dead people. No really…I have incredible spiritual intuition and have had encounters with ghosts, spirits and love when I sense energy of past souls. Our world is much more complicated than we allow ourselves to believe.
I like Google desktop because it makes browsing the web and searching your computer seamless.
Box.net, a cloud storage company for sharing and storing files that can be accessed anywhere in the world.
http://www.ocdexperience.com/blog/ because it's an innovative and unique perspective on organization, life, and efficiency.
Michio Kaku's Physics of the Future. Because I think everyone should know how science will shape human beings in our daily lives in the next 100 years. Kaku has a way of explaining complicated, technological, and scientific terms and ideas, simply enough where everybody can understand. The advancements are mind-blowing and mentally preparing for these transformations is so important to know.
@MrJackO: Jack Osbourne, because he's candid, raw and honest.
@OCDEvents: Heather Schertz. She was named top 30 event planners under 40 and has original and creatively designed ideas for the DIY-er.
@JoshGad: Josh Gad. Because he's funny as f***.
My fiancé causes me to laugh out loud quite a bit. I never was the type of person to laugh out loud a lot, but she has a way of making me smile and bellow out.
Tony Robbins. I admire Tony Robbins for the business he's created off of empowering and helping people.
How do you balance your work life from your professional life?
Carefully. There will never be enough time in the day to finish everything so you must know when to put something down and walk away until tomorrow. Set priorities, stick to them and make time for the people you love.
I believe in something larger than us and bigger than anything we can possibly imagine. I urge everyone to invest time into learning about space, dimensions, and energy in regards to transcending to a higher place in life. If there is a God he has a plan and the more centered you are, the more you know yourself and aren't afraid to express yourself, the more you will love yourself and be open to something greater than you.

Q: one way works and the other does not I have a .js file that displays a random pic. one way the code works fine and the other way it does not work (does not display any pic). the following code is the code that works and the code that does not work.
This code WORKS:
<script> selectdir = 0; var SBcount = 1; </script>

<script src="js/scripts/superbook.js"> </script>

<script> document.write(textSB); textSB = ''; </script>

<script> selectdir = 0; var SBcount = 2; </script>

<script src="js/scripts/superbook.js"> </script>

<script> document.write(textSB); textSB = ''; </script>

<script> selectdir = 0; var SBcount = 3; </script>

<script src="js/scripts/superbook.js"> </script>

<script> document.write(textSB); textSB = ''; </script>

<script> selectdir = 0; var SBcount = 4; </script>

<script src="js/scripts/superbook.js"> </script>

<script> document.write(textSB); textSB = ''; </script>

this code does NOT work:
<script>
 var SBcount = 0;

 for (SBcharcount = 1; SBcharcount < 5; SBcharcount++)
     {
       var selectdir = 0; var SBcount++;
       document.write('<scr' + 'ipt language="javascript" src="' +
       loveisdomaindir + 'js/scripts/superbook.js"> <\/script>');
       document.write(textSB); textSB = '';
     }
</script>

this code is inside superbook.js, where SBcount is used:
switch (SBcount)
       {
         case  1 : SBtop = 225; SBleft = 1275; SBheight = 145;
                   SBwidth = 100; break;

         case  2 : SBtop = 325; SBleft = 1425; SBheight = 145;
                   SBwidth = 100; break;
         case  3 : SBtop = 770; SBleft = 725;  SBheight = 145;
                   SBwidth = 100; break;
         case  4 : SBtop = 625; SBleft = 1300; SBheight = 145;
                   SBwidth = 100; break;
         case  5 : SBtop = 12;  SBleft = 210;  SBheight = 50;
                   SBwidth = 50; break;
         case  6 : SBtop = 345; SBleft = 210;  SBheight = 50;
                   SBwidth = 50; break;
         case  7 : SBtop = 515; SBleft = 210;  SBheight = 50;
                   SBwidth = 50; break;
         default : SBtop = 225; SBleft = 1275; SBheight = 145;
                   SBwidth = 100; break;
   }

any help will be appreciated.

A: The first problem is that var SBcount++ is a syntax error. You can't declare a variable and increment it at the same time.
That said, you have a fundamental flaw with the approach you are taking.
When you use document.write to write to the document stream, it inserts the script elements after the current script element.
They won't get executed until the first script element has finished executing.
So if you have a script (a) which:

*

*Set X to 1

*Generate a script (b) which writes X

*Set X to 2

*Generate a script (c) which writes X

Then the events happen in this order:

*

*X is 1

*X is 2

*Script b writes 2

*Script c writes 2

If you want step 2 to happen after step 3, then you need to generate a whole separate script element to change the value of X (just like you did by hand in your first code example)

But don't do that. Replace superbook.js with a function and then call it multiple times (passing values as arguments).

Depending on the conditions , you will require basic digital multimeter to BGA Rework station for solving these problems. You will also require laptop battery tester and list of ics with you . If you require any ics/tool/ you can contact 011-43464998.
For a laptop exhibiting symptoms under condition 1.
Test power adapter with DMM– usually measure 19 volts but check the label on the adapter .
motherboard – if you have 0vdc replace the connector( usually called DC power jack). This requires soldering and bit of expertise . If you are not expert try our Isolder40 .
replace them one at a time until you identify the defective component . In this case you need to trace the entire motherboard measuring voltages at specific point.

fn:last() returns the exact context position of the
  last item in the current context, so it must count all the items to do
  this. It is as much work as fn:count().
  fn:last() is therefore best used to find the last item in
  a short context sequence.  For example, it is useful in a path
  expression predicate to find the last child node of a particular
  element node in a particular document.

Using fn:last() in a predicate expression is not an
  efficient way to extract a subsequence of large item sequence. Its use
  for this purpose is strongly discouraged. It is much more efficient to
  use fn:tail() or fn:subsequence() instead.

One of my most popular picture tutorials of all time is this converse one. I swear it must have gotten me at least 10,000 of the 30,000 likes I have on Facebook - it keeps going viral, and thanks to my obsession with watermarking it directs people right back to me!
I decided to finally make a video tutorial for it, as there are some tips you just can't squeeze into one picture.
So here it is! Please subscribe to my channel!
I have a confession to make, though... I currently don't own any pairs of Chucks.
I used to have quite a collection during high school, but over the years I barely wore them and sold the last two in 2013. I'd love some Hunger Games or Doctor Who themed ones though - bucket list material!
Warning: you'll be making your fingers 'walk' everywhere if you paint these on your nails!
While I liked the purple ombre effect I've got going on in this version of these converse nails, I will always prefer bright colours. These nails will be in the newspaper, too! It comes out on Wednesday, I'll probably make a little blog post about it - if I like the article, eek!
Hope you liked this tutorial and blog post! Do you own any pairs of these shoes? If so, what do they look like? I love the variety of colours and designs they come in!
These are cute and looks so realistic too.


Some of you may have noticed a post tonight entitled "Grow Up" by Krazy. In this post, Krazy takes offense to a single line in my post "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait", calls me out by name, accuses me of slander, says I lied about my daughters age (which is ludicrous) and calls me a crappy rider (not so ludicrous, although I have gotten better). I'm paraphrasing, of course. You might also note that the post has been deleted. I struggled with whether to delete the post, or simply leave it up and respond to the accusations. In the end, I deleted it.
It was critical of me.
It raised the legal issue of slander.
It called me out by name.
I handle criticism fairly well. I know I'm not the greatest rider, I've said so before.
Slander is "defamation by oral utterance rather than by writing, pictures, etc." Libel is "defamation by written or printed words, pictures, or in any form other than by spoken words or gestures." Since I never mentioned anyone by name, and my daughter has had several "first horses" that haven't worked out, I doubt that libel could be proven.
It's really not hard to figure out my name. Let's see … blackeyebeth. So, probably my first name is Beth. In this post, I tell you the name of my horse and how she did at Buckeye, here I provide the results of Buckeye. Can you figure out my last name? (Hint: It requires knowledge of the Edit –> Find feature.) Be sure to spell it correctly, it's an-er not -ur.
There are a few reasons why I deleted this post. First, as the owner of this blog I am in some way responsible for the content. I've tried to keep it as open as possible – allowing anyone to register and post, and allowing anonymous comments. I certainly don't want to seem like "Big Brother". For the most part, the posts and comments have been positive and reflect well on the users of the blog. However, over 1,000 comments have been blocked. Why, you ask? It's because they are spam – they want you to buy products to enlarge or reduce body parts, etc. I don't want that on this blog.
Be positive. If I'm a crappy rider, let me know how to improve. Don't just tell me I'm crappy. There is enough negativity in the world, check it at the door.
If you have a general comment on a particular show or class, try not to call people out. This is especially important in junior exhibitor, walk-trot, or youth classes. I don't want kids to be able to identify negative comments about themselves here. In fact, in the future, if I see such comments I'll delete them, and if you see them let me know.
In general, if you have a comment on a post, place it in the comments.
I'll try to keep the open atmosphere here, while moderating the content as best I can. If you see something that is offensive, let me know and I'll decide whether to delete it. In the future, if the blog grows, we may need to add "trusted users" who can help me moderate.
I appreciate the comments to the "Grow Up" post, which I'll include in bulk as a comment. It shows that the vast majority of our community is on the same page.
1. sorry, but it was innapropriate to post your personal concerns here. you could have privately emailed beth rather than cast a negative image over the whole blog.
front of me. I just think it is sad what you wrote, your words were harsh.
3. I agree with the above comments. In my opinion, the public post was totally inappropriate. If you have an issue with Beth, you need to address her privately—not air your dirty laundry in public.
Well done, Beth. I had no idea that you were protecting us from a lot of spam, and I usually visit 2 or 3 times a day. Thank you for doing that and thank you for keeping the tone of AboveLevel positive.
Beth you rock! Thanks for everything you do on here for the morgan community!
Thanks, guys. My husband and I are trying out best. I really do appreciate all the support we have gotten!
I did not read the comment, but I am glad I did'nt. Those kind of comments is not what abovelevel is about. Keep up the great work you do Beth. The blog is so enjoyable. Its not put together for slander.
I did not see the original post….glad I didn't and hope my daughter didn't. This site has been great! And, constructive! Thanks Beth for keeping it that way!
Two thumbs up for you, Beth! Don't let a single slice of negativity taint this wonderful blog or damage your morale. You know how much most of us appreciate all you do!
One more thing – YOU ARE NOT A CRAPPY RIDER!! Maybe you were at one point, I don't know, but I would be hesitant to point that finger at anyone lest they point back at me. Through a lot of hard work you have become a much better rider since I have known you. At this point I would say that you are an excellent rider.
thank you beth! with all of the negativity on the internet today, we need responsible people to keep the great sites, just what they are, GREAT! i love this site and visit is several times a day because i love how informative, interesting, and sometimes humorous it is!
As you know I saw the post, and I must admit I was shocked and had to read it again,,,,I love this site and you do a fabulous job, just as you did writing what you did about what happened…thank you and keep up the great job!
I did not see the original post, but calling someone a "crappy rider" and personally attacking them in public comments is simply inappropriate. It makes all of us uncomfortable and is not what we are here for.
I completely agree with the above comments and would like to add that the aforementioned negativity, posted in this forum that is intended to be fun and informative, mirrors what seems to be a growing trend of poor sportsmanship in the show ring. As with any hyper competitive environment, it's a challenge to remember that FUN is what Morgan horse showing is all about. With trainers amassing celebrity status and judges pandering to this within our small industry, class, sportsmanship and fun all too often go out the window. So parents, encourage your kids to join the 4-H club, Prep their own horses, or take part in youth group activities…in short, let's all get back to prioritizing fun! Perhaps if we start cultivating teamwork and responsibility around the barn and at a young age, respectful conduct in the show ring will follow and unkind comments like "Krazy's" will be avoided.


Performing market research is your first step in developing content. Create real value for your site visitors. The simplest and most effective market research is asking questions. Ask your customers what interests them. Pay attention to the questions they have for you. Keep a history of the most frequently e-mailed questions or concerns. In the process learning about your customers, you can begin developing your content.
Valuable content helps your site visitors to make better purchasing decisions or to learn about your product offerings. In addition, content drives more traffic to your site. Search engines love content. The more the merrier. Search engines consider frequently updated content valuable. When search engines believe your site contains valuable content they send you more traffic. If you have the same content as other sites your site may be penalized. Too much duplicate content and your site could be banned. Getting banned is considered a death sentence for a domain because it is excluded from search engine results thus losing out on visitors.
Content without organization is chaos, so be sure your site is optimally categorized. Name each category with a concise and descriptive title. The categories should be consistent throughout the site for optimal navigation.
A website with poor usability results in decreased revenues. Your website is not about you, it is about your customers. Dedicate yourself to creating a website that is best suited for your audience. It is not enough that you fell in love with your web site the first time laid eyes on it. The only fact that matters is what your customers think. Do they like it; do they hate? The only way to find out is ask.
Your customers can be your best usability testers. If they hate your site they will leave immediately, unless you have zero competition. Don't even think about it, there is no business without competition. Your visitors may put up with smaller inconveniences such as a broken link. Don't assume that your customers love your site because they don't tell you anything. Be proactive and communicate, offer online surveys, e-mail them with specific questions.


This is one of the model lessons at NECC, set up as if a teacher were teaching a regular lesson to students. The central floor had room for 25 students equipped with laptops, a smart board, and a teacher. In this case, the teacher was Marsha Sanders-Leigh from Georgia Tech.
Marsha showed the class and audience a sample lesson on circles and ratios using Geometer's Sketchpad. I've never used the software before (Kate Small may just come down here and shoot me because she's been telling me about it for almost a year now).
For the visual learner, Sketchpad is incredibly useful. It helped me see the relationships the teacher was presenting. I think Sketchpad is probably a nice add-on for math classes, however I should add that what she taught could be done with pen and paper — it's a matter of the approach taken in teaching.
As a model of teaching, I see now the challenge of working both with a large class and lots of unfamiliar technology. After the initial aha moments with Sketchpad, this quickly became a lesson in working through the technology. One "student" went to the board and worked through the problem on an on-screen graphing calculator. The teacher told her what buttons to press and honestly, it lost my attention.
I have a few really cool takeaways: Geometer's Sketchpad rocks. TI makes a smart board version of its graphing calculator called SmartView. Marsha started the lesson by finding and acknowledging the experts in the classroom — and pointing them out to the newbies (I thought this was a cool class management idea).

If you want to hear the best sounds on any video game before the year is out, then get yourself a copy of EA's XBOX 360/PS3 skater-simulator SKATE.
And, while it's uncertain if EA will successfully grab Tony Hawk's crown with this effort, the list of artists featured on SKATE makes it sound like the battle's already over. While Project 8 had Bad Religion, Joy Division, Nine Inch Nails, The Sword, and their own Ramones song, the production crew made one fatal mistake: they had a Kool and the Gang song, but it wasn't "Celebrate Good Times." I've never not ironically used this acronym before but, really, WTF?!
Overall, the SKATE soundtrack promises to soften every bail while making every jump feel that much more intense--even when you're just hopping off a picnic table, you poser.
