'NCIS' Star Katrina Law Shares Hysterical Blooper Video With Stunt Double
by Jonathan Howard January 3, 2022
written by Jonathan Howard January 3, 2022
There is a lot of action on NCIS, and that means there are stunt doubles ready to go at any moment. Including one for Katrina Law, who plays Jessica Knight.
Law's stunt double is the talented Tamiko Brownlee. So, if there is something that Law is not comfortable performing on set, Brownlee is ready to go, wardrobe and all. Throughout the years on TV, there have been a number of great stunt doubles. However, Brownlee might have her work cut out for her on NCIS.
When it comes to imitating Jessica Knight's walk, style, and all that needs to be done, Brownlee can do it. Now, when it comes to impersonating Katrina Law… that might need some work. And it isn't the stunt woman's fault. Check out the behind-the-scenes video that was shared on Instagram below.
A post shared by Katrina Law (@katrinalaw)
"The moment your stunt double realizes they have a lot of work cut out for them. Love ya [Tamiko Brownlee]," the caption reads.
Law just about-face plants in the video. Clearly, they were trying to get a very dramatic shot that shows the two walking in lockstep. It was actually hard to tell the difference on the first watch. However, only one person would be clumsy enough. While it was a near accident, the two enjoyed a laugh looking back at the NCIS star tripping.
One fan was tickled with the video. Tere Clarkson replied, "When she just looked at you and keeps walking like she don't give a s–t, I CAN'T!"
Thankfully, with the season returning, there are likely more of these behind-the-scenes shots coming our way.
'NCIS' Returns to Catch a Fugitive
Speaking of Katrina Law and her character Jessica Knight, the NCIS season returns and she plays a big role in the upcoming episode. Tonight is the first episode back in about four weeks. Fans have been dying to see the next installment, and it is finally here. Episode 10.
Someone has been selling classified data from the US Navy. It appears to be Chief Warrant Officer Rafi Nazar. However, there is always more than meets the eye. So, the team is going to have to do some digging into this one.
Based on screenshots and photos from the upcoming episode, it looks like the NCIS star is wearing the same outfit tonight that she wore in the Instagram video. Let's just hope we don't see Agent Knight tripping over her own two feet. If we do, at least we know Tamiko isn't the one doing it.
Stunt doubles are so important to the industry. When it comes to a show like NCIS they are integral to the show. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to stand on its own two feet.

RE: Application for Further Review of Protest No.: 4101-01-100559;Nursing Pads; Breast Pads; Woven Absorbent Material; Subheading 6307.90.9989, HTSUSA (2001); HQ 965711 (July 24, 2002) Incorporated by Reference.
The purpose of this correspondence is to address the Application for Further Review of Protest Number: 4101-01-100559, dated November 29, 2001. The Importer of Record and Protesting Party is Abbott Laboratories, Ross Products Division.
The Customs Service issued a Notice of Action (Customs Form 29) to Abbott Laboratories. The Notice of Action is dated August 1, 2001. It indicated that a rate advance had been taken on the relevant entry based on the conclusion that the Importer had not properly classified nursing pads from China. The merchandise was entered in the year 2001 and was liquidated on August 31, 2001. The Importer, subsequent to the liquidation, filed a protest challenging the classification decision of the Port Director.
A review of the Protest (Customs Form 19) and the Customs Protest and Summons Information Report (Customs Form 6445) indicates that the protest was timely filed pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1514 (c)(3) (West 1999) and 19 C.F.R. 174.12 (e)(2).
This protest decision is being issued subsequent to a review of the following: (1) The Protest filed on the behalf of Abbott Laboratories; (2) The Protest Section II: Reasons for Protest, that accompanied the Protest; (3) The Notice of Action; (4) The Customs Protest and Summons Information Report; (5) The submission of counsel dated: August 22, 2002, and (6) An examination of two sample packages of identical nursing pads.
The article in issue is a nursing pad. It is designed to be placed in the brassiere of nursing mothers to absorb excess milk. The Ross Products Division, Abbott Laboratories nursing pad is designated style 14191K, product number: 70074 54076.
The nursing pad is conical in shape, but slightly longer than it is wide. The article is five and five-eighths (5 5/8) inches from top to bottom and approximately four and one-half (4 ½) inches across.
The nursing pad has four layers of fabric. The initial layer, that which will be closest to the skin of the wearer, is composed of a one hundred percent polyester knit jacquard fabric. The second and third fabric layers, those designed to provide the nursing pad with its absorbent capacity, are composed of woven, sixty-five percent polyester, thirty-five percent cotton blend fabrics.
All submissions state that the article has three layers, but an examination of a sample establishes that the absorbent component is actually two layers of a woven polyester-cotton blend fabric. The fourth layer, that which will be closest to the brassiere of the wearer, is composed of a woven nylon fabric with an acrylic coating on one side.
Did the Customs Service properly liquidate the entry of the above-described nursing pad composed of woven nylon fabric coated with acrylic, knitted polyester fabric and two inner layers of woven polyester – cotton blend fabric which provide the article with its absorbent capacity, classifying the article, pursuant to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated, in subheading 6217.10.9519, HTSUSA?
The Customs Service is cognizant that HQ 965711 did not address the classification of nursing pads with a knit textile fabric component, as is the instant case, in which the knit textile fabric component did not afford the article its absorbent capability. The reasoning and analysis applied in HQ 965711 regarding nursing pads with woven and nonwoven textile fabric components in which those components did not provide the nursing pads with their absorbent capability is, however, equally analogous.
The legal reasoning and analysis addressing the classification, at the heading level, in heading 6307, HTSUS, of substantially similar nursing pads composed of woven and nonwoven textile fabric components set forth in HQ 965711 is incorporated into this ruling letter by reference. Headquarters Ruling Letter 965711 is attached to and made a part of this ruling letter.
The Abbott Laboratories, Ross Products Division nursing pad composed of woven nylon fabric coated with acrylic, knitted polyester fabric and two inner layers of woven sixty-five percent polyester, thirty-five percent cotton fabric which provides the article with its absorbent capacity, is classified in subheading 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (2001).
The General Column 1 Rate of Duty for subheading 6307.90.9989, HTSUSA, (2001) is seven (7) percent, ad valorem.
The legal reasoning and analysis of Headquarters Ruling Letter 965711 (July 24, 2002) is incorporated by reference. Headquarters Ruling Letter 965711 is attached to and made a part of this ruling letter.
In accordance with Customs Directive 099 3550-065, dated August 4, 1993, Subject: Revised Protest Directive, section 3 A. (11) (b), you are to mail this decision and the Protest (Customs Form 19) to the Protestant no later than 60 days from the date of this letter. Any reliquidation of the entry or entries in accordance with this decision must be accomplished prior to mailing the decision.
The Office of Regulations & Rulings will make this decision available to Customs personnel and to the public on the Customs Service Home Page on the World Wide Web, www.customs.gov, by means of the Freedom of Information Act and by other methods of public distribution sixty days from the date of this decision.

4 Classic Movies to Celebrate in 2018
Good wine gets better with age, so – in case of some varieties, of course – the more years have passed since their production, the better the wines become. The same can not be said about movies, though – they don't improve with time, with the possible exception of the original Star Wars trilogy that, according to many fans, has depreciated with every subsequent re-release. Movies don't get better with age but we learn to appreciate them more. After all, in most cases, we've seen them as kids – and while they didn't change over the decades, we have, so we look at them with a different set of eyes and a different set of experiences behind us. Next year, we celebrate the anniversaries of these great movies' original releases.
It is hard to believe that the Halloween franchise turns 40 years old next year. The first movie in the series premiered on October 25, 1978, in time to get its audience into the spooky, trick-or-treating mood. It has seen an anniversary edition in 1998 – Halloween H20 reunited serial killer Michael Myers with star Jamie Lee Curtis. Next year, we'll see a new anniversary sequel, once again featuring Jamie Lee Curtis – and this time, it seems that the two will be involved in their "final confrontation".
Until then, you can try the brand new video slot machine paying homage to the classic film, Halloween, at https://www.europalace.com/.
1988 was a great year for movie fans, with many cult classics and blockbusters released. It was the first time we met Roger Rabbit, we found out that we are controlled by an alien race in They Live, we got the chance to fight terrorists in Die Hard, and sit on the edge of our seats while Dr. Dennis Allan (Bill Pullman) took on an evil bokor (sorcerer) while researching the "zombie drug" in Haiti in Serpent and the Rainbow. But easily the most impressive movie of the year was "Beetlejuice", turning 30 next year.
Tim Burton's horror comedy Beetlejuice told the story of a ghost couple (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) who want to banish the new owners of their former house by haunting them – with little success at first. That until they team up with Betelgeuse, a wacky spirit who promises to help them, yet has more in mind than just getting rid of the human pests.
Despite recent rumors, no sequel for Beetlejuice is in production at this time.
The Big Lebowski (1998)
1998 was another great year for movie fans, with several memorable movies released – like Steven Spielberg's war drama "Saving Private Ryan", Tony Kaye's "American History X", Michael Bay's "Armageddon", and Guy Ritchie's debut flick, "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". But the most memorable movie of them all was, without a doubt, The Big Lebowski.
Despite the critics' harsh words and the dismal box office performance of the movie (it made around $17 million in the US against a $15 million budget) the movie became a cult classic, even leading to the creation of a church, philosophy, and lifestyle inspired by The Dude, played by Jeff Bridges – a mix of modern Taoism and the concepts of Greek philosopher Epicurus, with its sacred high holy day being March 6 (the date of the movie's premiere).
A decade ago, the world was excited by a series of great things. The iPhone became mainstream, Bella and Edward ruined vampire movies forever, Iron Man made his first suit of armor from scratch, and quite a few sequels that were released in 2008 failed miserably – think Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and X-Files: I Want To Believe, to name just a few.
Arguably the most notable movie of the year was itself a sequel – and what a sequel. 2005's "Batman Begins" has laid the foundation of "The Dark Knight", considered the best of Christopher Nolan's trilogy, where the hooded vigilante of Gotham City meets his nemesis, The Joker, a mysterious villain with a disfigured face and a hidden agenda. Heath Ledger won an Oscar for his performance in the movie, while the film as a whole won several Saturns, and a bunch of other awards (over 150 in total), and became the top-grossing film of the year.
Next year, a new Batman movie might hit the theatres – but it might as well be another DC superhero origin story Universal has in store for us. We'll see.

How to make hotel shuttles an extension of your property
by Elliott Mest |

Once guests leave your hotel, can they still have a bad experience that they will blame on the property? It turns out, they can. Tim Nardi, VP of hotel operations at Menin Hospitality, a collection of 15 hotel, restaurant and nightlife venues in Miami, said hotel guests do not realize or care if the experience comes from a different source once they board a hotel shuttle, which is why operators should have some consideration about what happens on the road.
"Even though we use a third party, shuttle drivers are an extension of our team," Nardi said. "They wear our uniforms, their training is the same and they have to have complete knowledge of our hotels." Nardi said hiring shuttle drivers in hospitality presents a unique challenge because applicants must possess both a service-oriented mindset and a spotless driving record. For this reason, even though Menin Hospitality's Gale Hotel South Beach in Miami Beach, Fla., relies on a third party to supply employees, once they hit the property they are Nardi's responsibility.
"The employee piece is the most challenging, with regards to hiring, but after that is training," he said. "We manage that. Once they do a regular orientation, they tour each of the hotels before they drive a guest. We also like to have a GM or other managers ride with them to see the experience through the guests' eyes."
This last factor is an important one that many hotel operators overlook. Justin Jabara, VP of development at Meyer Jabara Hotels, said the shuttle experience often falls short at the select-service level because many hotels are unable to provide a dedicated driver.
"There are a few ways to maintain a curated experience off property," Jabara said. "First, focus on having nice vans. We scent our hotel lobbies and spend a lot of time on the type of music we play, and the moment you leave the property you lose that. So make sure your van has a scent and dictate the type of music your shuttle is playing and at what volume."
Jabara also suggested including a cooler of ice and water in your van, depending on your hotel's location, and provide them to guests in need.
This type of action strikes at the heart of the shuttle experience, making it something that extends the intentions of a hotel beyond its border. Patrick Short, VP of operations at Peachtree Hotel Group, said the interactions that take place in a shuttle have the potential to be more authentic than anything that happens on property, and hotels should take advantage of these opportunities.
"If you're on a train in Italy and you asked someone at random for suggestions where to eat, you would take that more as a truth than if you asked a concierge," Short said. "There is always that wonder, 'are they a partner? Can I trust them?' And the power of having that trust can't be underestimated."
For example, Jabara pointed to the Hyatt Place in Bethlehem, Pa., where the hotel's shuttle driver, Jack, has such a rapport with his guests that he is mentioned in many of the hotel's TripAdvisor reviews.
"There are clients who stay at the hotel because Jack is there. He has built a brand within himself… and we've given him the tools to do that," Jabara said.

No one in the world is more impatient than a hotel guest waiting for a shuttle. Ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft have complicated the shuttle experience by providing an effective way for users to track their rides' arrival time directly on their phone, but in hotels it isn't so simple. According to Jabara, the ability to cut down on waiting times and rely on a shuttle's arrival at regular intervals is a crucial aspect of maintaining a positive guest experience.
"We use services like Kipsu to text guests directly and track arrival times," Jabara said. "Guests can also text the front desk and ask questions about arrivals."
According to Short, text-based systems such as this are still not ideal because guests are forced to accept terms and conditions before the systems truly work. "It's not seamless," he said. "I do believe that at some point it will almost be like Uber where you can punch in a number and an app will track your vehicle. At some of our properties, we track where our shuttles have been for safety reasons, but we lack that capability in the customer-facing side."
On-property technology is useful for monitoring shuttle activity, but modern technology also is effective for reducing liability once aboard the shuttles. James Gross, corporate director of operations at Pivot Hotels & Resorts, said his company looks for vans equipped with back-up cameras, blind-spot indicators, lane-departure warning systems and forward collision warnings in order to promote safety. However, technology alone is not going to help with what Gross said is the greatest challenge facing hotel transportation: managing guest expectations.
"Most hotels have one van or house car, and making sure that guests are given realistic wait times directly correlates to guest satisfaction, sometimes for their entire experience during the stay," Gross said.
According to Nardi, shuttle wait times at the Gale Hotel South Beach are not much of a concern. This is because the maximum wait time between shuttle rides is three minutes, and often is shorter than that. Nardi credits this to South Beach's small size, and the unique design of the property's transportation offerings. The hotel makes use of extra-wide golf carts to shuttle guests from one place to another, a desirable mode of transportation in the evergreen climate of South Beach and a creative way to exceed guest expectations.
"People come here to be outside. It's like all those double-decker buses you see in the city, everyone is always on top," Nardi said. "Taking that experience [guests] came here for and enhancing it, this is our way of making it happen."

A:
as for now it converts lowercase letters to uppercase with line " SUB DL,32H "

That's not what this instruction does! The conversion from lowercase to uppercase would have to subtract 32 decimal, same as 20h hexadecimal.

How could it be fixed and the input restricted to only a...f, A...F and 0...9?

It's important to know what the ASCII codes are for these characters. It will allow us to write an efficient code with few comparisons.
char   ASCII
0..9   30h..39h
A..Z   41h..5Ah
a..z   61h..7Ah

Next code validates the user input and delivers in AL a value in the range 0..15. Since your program needs this procedure twice, you should put this code in a subroutine that your main code call's twice.
GetChar:
 mov  ah, 01h
 int  21h
 sub  al, 30h
 cmp  al, 9
 jbe  M1               ; It was a digit 0..9

 sub  al, 41h - 30h    ; -30h because that has already been subtracted!
 cmp  al, 5
 jbe  M2               ; It was an uppercase A..F

 sub  al, 61h - 41h    ; -41h because that has already been subtracted!
 cmp  al, 5
 ja   GetChar          ; It's not lowercase a..f, invalid hexdigit, redo

M2:
 add  al, 10           ; 0..5 + 10 -> 10..15
M1:

Please note that I used the unsigned jbe instead of the signed jle.

CMP DL,9H
JLE M1

The ASCII codes range from 0..255. If you use the signed jle here then an additional 128 characters will get treated as digits!

Shorter code
Still validating the user input, but especially removing that 3rd branch can make it faster.
GetChar:
 mov  ah, 01h
 int  21h
 sub  al, 30h
 cmp  al, 9
 jbe  M1               ; It was a digit 0..9

 or   al, 20h          ; Case insensitiveness
 sub  al, 61h - 30h    ; -30h because that has already been subtracted!
 cmp  al, 5
 ja   GetChar          ; It's not A..F a..f, invalid hexdigit, redo
 add  al, 10           ; 0..5 + 10 -> 10..15

M1:

Shortest code
Only if you trust that the user at the keyboard will always input a valid hexdigit. Not very realistic!
GetChar:
 mov  ah, 01h
 int  21h
 sub  al, 30h
 cmp  al, 9
 jbe  M1               ; It was a digit 0..9

Although an SEO agency will be able to provide a much more reliable, and high-quality, copywriting service, by making changes to your site's content today, you can start to move in the right direction. In marketing, the person in charge of designing an advertisement transforms an idea into an attention-getting message. The hard part of SEO isn't doing the work, it's sitting down to do the work. The struggle is real: it's difficult to avoid bias when reviewing the results of a campaign you've worked hard on.
The amount of documents recorded here is less important than the high quality standard. One of the most effective ways to ensure that your website or online retail presence is optimised for the future of Google and other search engines is to take part in a professionally-run SEO Training Course. If you don't know where to submit a guest blog post or what forums would be good to participate on, research where your competitors are going to get links and follow suit. Visual and verbal elements work together to create an advertisement that meets the desired stage of the hierarchy of effects model or the attribute-benefit-personal value chosen from a means-chain.
Communications goals differ depending on the stage in the buying process. In the past, Google's algorithm was not quite clever or sophisticated enough to ignore the poor quality links these techniques garnered but that is changing. The Panda and Penguin updates represent perhaps Google's most aggressive attempt to clean up its search results and in turn, this is having a major impact on the approach that needs to be taken to link building in particular. The rule of thumb is to use each keyword combination once per 100 words of content. While most SEO gurus preach that a web page should include 300 to 1,000 words of unique content, it's important to remember that you're writing for people, not robots. Keep it natural. Keyword density (SEO) is the percentage (%) of times a keyword or key phrase appears on a web page in comparison with the total number of words on the page.
Wait. Are forums really that simple?
Why are keywords so important? Some people think that nofollow links are worthless, some website owners even want to delete links that use the nofollow attribute. That's not a good idea. Nofollow links can help your website a lot. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of structuring your site to rank high in on-target search results and boost visits. Gaz Hall, an SEO Expert from the UK, said: "apart from Google is its interface."
SEO is an art to increase visibility of website in search engine or we can say SEO is a method of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to a website from the free or organic search results. Balancing the readability of your website for both people and web crawlers should be a key part of your SEO strategy. The hierarchy of effects model features similarities with theories regarding attitudes and attitudinal change, including the concepts of cognitive, affective, and conative elements. A sitemap (with which you may well be familiar) is an HTML page containing an ordered list of all the pages on your site (or, for a large site, at least the most important pages).


Orders ship within 3-5 business days via USPS from Royal Oak, MI. I try my best to ship as soon as possible, but sometimes larger prints take a little longer to process.
Please note that shipping time may vary especially during holiday season and when shipping to Alaska and Hawaii.
Please ensure your mailing address is correct, if the order is returned to us due to incorrect address additional shipping fees will apply.
Prints 8"x10" and 11"x14" will ship flat in a box with protectives pads to prevent bending.
Prints 13x19" and larger will be rolled and shipped in a sturdy mailing tube.
I currently do not accept returns or exchanges unless something went wrong with your order, ex. damage during shipping, wrong item sent. I do my best to provide accurate print descriptions and images that represent color in the best way possible. However, if you have any questions or concerns please contact me as I want you to be happy with your purchase and your satisfaction is important to me.

UConn falls to Merrimack in OT in Hockey East debut
UConn had the lead entering the final minute Saturday, but ultimately fell to Merrimack 2-1 in overtime.
By Tim Fontenault Oct 18, 2014, 9:45pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: UConn falls to Merrimack in OT in Hockey East debut
The UConn men's hockey team played its first ever Hockey East game Saturday at Merrimack.
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – Rob Nichols was a warrior Saturday night. Time and again, he kept UConn ahead, and the Huskies looked destined to win their first ever Hockey East game.
Destiny, however, has a funny way of having the last word.
Nichols saved a career-high 41 shots, but Merrimack finally bested him with 33 seconds to play and scored three minutes into overtime to hand UConn a 2-1 at Lawler Rink Saturday night.
Freshman David Drake's first career goal at the end of the first period came at the end of a successful 20-minute stretch for the Huskies. They played quick, aggressive hockey and persistently challenged Merrimack goaltender Rasmus Tirronen. Drake, a 2013 draft pick of the Philadelphia Flyers, put UConn ahead with 28 seconds left in the first with a powerful shot from the blue line.
"I thought David Drake did a great job tonight," UConn head coach Mike Cavanaugh said. "You know, that was his first college hockey game. And it wasn't just the goal. I thought his gaps were great. I thought his stick was good. He made strong plays. For his first game, and this is a tough environment to play in...I thought he handled it very well."
Drake's goal came at the most opportune time for the Huskies. Offense was not a thing that came easy for UConn after the first period. The Huskies spent most of the second and third periods backed up inside their own blue line.
Goaltender Rob Nichols stood strong for the Huskies in the second period, as Merrimack outshot the Huskies 15-3. The Warriors had closer to 20 chances in reality, but they missed the net a couple times when Nichols was caught out of position.
"I think we came out really well and we used our speed to our advantage," UConn captain Ryan Tyson said. "We really turned their D, and in our first three games that was our best start. I don't know what it was, but I think we might have gotten a little complacent."
Merrimack continued to control the play throughout the third period, and they were even more likely to score the later the game went.
Continuing their second period trend, however, the Warriors could not capitalize on even the greatest opportunities. For more than a minute, Nichols had to defend the net while his stick was lodged in the side. Play finally stopped when he accidentally dislodged the net trying to free his stick.
On a power play with six minutes to play, a Merrimack forward hit the post, which led to a rebound effort from the point and a violent scrum in the crease. Upon review, Merrimack did not equalize.
Chances continued to go by the wayside as time wound down on the Warriors. They hit the post at times, missed the net entirely even more.
But the lack of reward for their chances was mostly the fault of Nichols, who looked every bit as dominant as former UConn goaltender Matt Grogan at Schneider Arena in February, when the Huskies shocked No. 9 Providence.
"I thought Rob played fantastic," Tyson said. "He got bumped around there a lot at the end and made some huge saves to keep us right in it, and he did that last weekend as well. I think he's been real solid this year. We just have to play better in front of him at the end of games."
Tirronen went to the bench with 1:06 to play, and Merrimack tied it the game 33 seconds later. Freshman Brett Seney notched his second career goal on a rebound after a heroic effort from Nichols to keep the Warriors at bay.
This is the second time through three games that UConn has allowed a game-tying goal in the final minute this season. The Huskies were up 2-1 with 48 seconds to play when Penn State equalized in the season opener.
One of the reasons UConn struggled to get control was its struggle at the face-off circle. The Huskies won the face-off battle 16-9 in the first period, but Merrimack took control and ended the game with a 40-33 advantage.
"No matter where the face-off was, whether it was in the defensive zone, whether it was in the neutral zone or the offensive zone, they were winning the face-off and they had possession of the puck. And we weren't able to get anything on track," Cavanaugh said.
In the overtime, a couple quick possession changes put the puck on the stick of Hampus Gustafsson, who managed to beat Nichols from in close to give the Warriors the win.
UConn does not have a long time to reflect on Saturday's loss. Tuesday night, the Huskies go to Bridgeport for the first of what could be two meetings with in-state rival Quinnipiac at Webster Bank Arena.
But despite the loss, there are positives, and Cavanaugh was pleased with some aspects of the game.
"I think you always take positives out of every experience, and we've played a good first period on the road," Cavanaugh said. "Now we've got to build from that."

Garage Sales, Lemonade Stands & More: This 12-Year-Old Is Helping the Society in Inspiring Ways
Post category:Children / inspiring
"She is a born giver," says Mumbai-resident Manisha Pradhan Singh about her 12-year-old daughter Maanavi who has been helping the needy for four years now. Be it raising funds for charitable organisations, gifting stationary to kids at an orphanage, or the simple act of giving her bar of chocolate to a girl begging at a signal – Maanavi is actively involved in working towards the betterment of others in whichever way she can.
She was eight when Maanavi first came to know about a 14-year-old boy who was suffering from brain tumour. He was the son of one of Manisha's friends, and was a big Salman Khan fan. "My mom thought of making a short video clip to surprise him and make him feel better. Being a journalist, she spoke to some people seeking their help to shoot a video with Salman Khan. He was very busy with a movie at the time, and in spite of that, he took out some time and shot a video clip for his fan," says Maanavi. She was very inspired by this gesture and it motivated her to give back the society as well.
She began by setting up a lemonade and juice stand on the roadside along with two of her friends to raise funds.
This was followed by a garage sale of toys, books, hair bands, accessories etc. – things that she no longer needed but they were in good condition.
Maanavi then used this money to send stationary products for children in an orphanage.
She now makes dream catchers, paintings, and book marks and sells them at her place to raise funds for different purposes.
Recently, she organised a garage sale to raise money for a school for children with hearing impairments. With her current work, Maanavi is now trying to raise funds to start a small library for the kids at Kanya Patshala, a school for girls.
She says that her mom and friends help her with the work, and her parents provide her with the funds required for the raw material.
"On my birthday this year, I conducted a treasure hunt in a store where guests had to pick up food, beverages, chocolates, biscuits etc. and all the items thus collected were donated to children in an orphanage," says Maanavi, who has started a charitable organisation named For Goodness Sake, to continue with her work. Inspired by Maanavi, one of her friends who likes to bake also organised a bake sale to raise funds for charity.
Like many other 12-year-olds, she is not sure about what she wants to do on growing up but is confident that she wants to continue doing her part for the society the way she is doing right now.
"She always makes me proud. Maanavi has been a very soft-hearted child since she was little. She cares for the needy and for the poor. Once, there was a new chocolate in the market and she had been talking about getting it for many days. We went to the market, bought one and were on our way back home in an auto rickshaw when a girl came begging.

The vitriol contained in a recent To the Point submission cannot remain unchallenged. In "No Place in Obama's World," the author insinuates that our president is a Muslim. This rumor and wildly-held belief is false and, frankly, irrelevant.
How quickly these believers forget the controversy surrounding the Obamas' pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and his controversial comments during Obama's first election campaign. Jeremiah Wright was the pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago; the Obamas were members of that congregation.
On a broader note, the Constitution does not provide a litmus test for religions affiliation to become president. Even if Mr. Obama was a Muslim, this would not deny him the eligibility of becoming President of the United States. Additionally, the writer condemns Mr. Obama for being anti-military. How can removing our troops from harm's way and extricating our armed forces from two costly and unjust wars be considered anti-military? The author continues the rant against people who are black, atheist, LGBT, and liberal. The United States of America is a great melting pot of people of all races, religions, sexual orientations, and political beliefs. The Declaration states that "All men are created equal ... " and the Pledge of Allegiance states that this is "one nation ... with liberty and justice for ALL."
Finally, the writer uses the term "liar" in the criticism of President Obama. Isn't spreading false rumor the epitome of lying? It is so disappointing to realize that such bigotry and hatred are alive and well and living in this country.

FortiOS provides, FortiHeartBeat, a means of allowing users running FortiClient Endpoint Control software to connect to specific interfaces when connecting to the FortiGate unit. As well as ensuring that remote or local users have FortiClient Endpoint Control software installed on their PC or mobile device.
You can configure a FortiGate interface as an interface that will accept FortiClient connections. When configured, the FortiGate unit sends broadcast messages which the FortiClient software running on an end user PC is listening for.
2. Edit the interface to send the broadcast messages.
4. In Admission Control, select Enforce FortiHeartBeat for all FortiClients.
Once enabled, the FortiGate unit broadcasts a discovery message that includes the IP address of the interface and listening port number to the local network. All PCs running FortiClient on that network listen for this discovery message.
You also have the option of including a registration key. When the FortiClient discovers the FortiGate unit, it is prompted to enter a registration key, defined by the administrator.
1. Go to System > Config > Advanced.
2. Select Enable Registration Key for FortiClient, and enter the key.
Ensure you distribute the key to the users that need to connect to the FortiGate unit.
On the end user side, if FortiClient has not been registered with the FortiGate unit, it is continually listening for the FortiGate discovery message. When this message is detected the un-registered client will pop-up a FortiGate Detected message. The user can choose to either register or ignore the message.
Clients that have registered with that FortiGate unit will not be listening for these messages and will not display the message again.
If you enabled the registration key, the user is prompted to enter the key before a connection can be completed.
There can be some confusion when discussing the compatibility of FortiClient with FortiGate. There is technical compatibility and licensing compatibility. FortiClient software may not be licence compatible with previous versions of FortiOS.
For more information on FortiGate registration, see the FortiClient Administration Guide.

The History of the Minnesota Affiliate, National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialist (NACNS)
Ruth Lindquist, PhD, RN, ACNS-BS
The Minnesota Affiliate of NACNS has the distinction of becoming the first state affiliate of the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialist in 1999. The spirit of collaboration, commitment and shared concern for issues of nursing, patient care and advanced practice nursing-- particularly preserving and developing the vibrant role of Clinical Nurse Specialist in healthcare--has characterized the organization from the start. Having its start as local networking group in a small conference room on the campus of the University of Minnesota Hospital, Fairview, comprising 10 members of "The Minnesota CNS Networking Group", it has grown to boast a mailing list of hundreds of CNSs across the State of Minnesota.
Formation: The Minnesota CNS Networking Group was formed in 1997, joining fellow APRN colleaques, the Minnesota Nurses Association, and the Minnesota Board of Nursing (BON) in crafting a new Nurse Practice Act related to Advanced Practice Nursing. CNSs played a pivotal role in assisting the BON with implementation of this legislation. Through this work, a closer link with CNSs nationally was established when the Minnesota CNS group had the distinction of formally becoming the first state affiliate of the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists in 1999. Since that time, the group was called the Minnesota Affiliate of NACNS. However, the purpose has remained largely the same: to provide a networking group: to improve communication amongst CNSs across the state; to develop peer understanding of the complexity of the CNS role in many settings; and to continue liaison work with the BON.
Mary Fran Tracy served as the first President: Niki Gjere was the first secretary. At the outset, there were no bylaws and there was no cost to join or to attend regular meetings. It was a requirement of the NACNS that 25% of local members were also members of the National organization. It was reasoned that if were aligned as state and national organizations, the local organization should at least have some as members of NACNS. There were 15 to 20 members to start, and included CNSs from the Mayo Clinic. Meetings were generally held Friday afternoons (1-3 pm). Telephone access to the meetings was added as a means to permit those outside of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan ear to join in on the meetings while avoiding the need to travel. Content of the early business meetings covered topics such as active legislation. Later, topics were broadened to common concerns of CNSs (not diagnosis specific, for example, the CNS role and how to implement it. Content was very much focused on CNS role. Soon there were over 100 CNSs on the email list. Being on the email list comprised membership. More than 100 CNSs attended the annual conferences.
Evolution: In 2002, the Minnesota Affiliate of NACNS held the first annual conference. The first speaker was Sue Davison, President of NACNS Annual conference 2003 was held at Winona State University. National NACNS President Brenda Lyon came to the conference as the keynote speaker. The annual conference is a tradition carried forward to the present. This event has been a highpoint of the year for the 10 years during which conferences have been held.
The Annual Conferences address contemporary issues affecting healthcare and the CNS role. Content helps to develop attendees as advanced practice nurse leaders. Through attending the conference and through participation in the ongoing work of the organization, members learn how to form and lead an organization, and to "network" and connect at the national level. The organization keeps a watchful eye on legislation affecting nursing and healthcare; and it helps constituents to understand the BON role and regulations and State legislation.
Distinctions: In addition to the distinction of becoming the first state affiliate of the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialist in 1999, the Minnesota Affiliate of NACNS was honored as the "National Affiliate of the Year" by the NACNS in 2004. In 2010, Sue Sendelbach became the first Minnesota CNS to serve as the President of the NACNS. IN 2012, Carol Manchester became President-Elect of NACNS and served her term as president of NACNS in 2013-2014.
Minnesota has a strong CNS organization and its members continue to involved at the national level. The organization's past has been illustrious. Based on the accomplishments and foundation of the leadership traditions of the past, the future of the organization- and the role of CNSs in Minnesota- is bright. CNS members of the organization hold a key to the future development of the CNS role and the role of advanced practice nursing in the State of Minnesota. Their work, and the work of the organization, will guarantee that CNSs will help to shape and will have a significant role in the evolving healthcare system in Minnesota.
The Minnesota Affiliate of the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists is a 501(c)6 non-profit organization.


Compression socks, tights, tops--all the cool kids are running in compression these days. I don't always run in compression but when I do, I prefer compression tights. When I'm running on tired legs or have a long run to do, more often than not, I'll pull out a pair to help my legs run faster and recover better. I really believe that compression has a place in every runner's wardrobe.
I've tried a variety of brands of compression tights. Recently, I received a pair of SKINS DNAmic compression tights to trial and review on the blog. Did they stand up to the other tights I've worn in the past?
SKINS, an Australian company, was started when an Australian skier wanted to develop a product that would let him party all night but be able to recover and perform at his best all day. He theorized that by providing more oxygen to the muscles, he'd be able to work harder. He was right, and there has been a lot of research to support his theory. According to the SKINS website, where there are quite a few scientific studies listed, SKINS compression actually: improves venous return, reduces exercise induced muscle damage, accelerates recovery, removes lactic acid faster, increases strength and power, improves endurance, enhances muscle oxygenation, improves body temperature control, and reduces in-flight ankle edema. The DNAmic technology was developed to deliver specific levels of compression to active muscles.
Pretty bold claims, right? Did these tights stand up to my cynical eye? Or legs?
Mother Nature cooperated with a bit of a cold spell this week so I could try out my tights. I took my tired legs out for a 5 mile run on a cool, blustery morning, wearing the SKINS DNAmic compression tights. At first, my legs felt "tight" as they always do when I run in compression. But when I looked down at my first mile split, I was pleased as I had an 8:25 minute mile. The rest of my mile splits were even faster. All good.
I also did my pushups for Marcia's push up challenge and did some bar hangs and scapular pull-ups per Becky's homework.
Overall, I LOVED these tights. They were easy to pull on, which hasn't always been the case with other compression tights. They look great. They aren't at all restricting. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the pattern on the fabric, but as it turns out, they look great with a variety of colors of shirts. I don't know if they made me run faster, but my legs felt good while I was running. And best of all, my legs felt great after the run. I went to work, spent most of the day on my feet, and my legs weren't tired at all. Imagine if I could wear compression to work!
The only comment I would make is about the sizing. Even though I followed the sizing chart on SKINS website and ordered accordingly, I found the tights to be a little snug around my torso. The legs fit great but I would have liked a little more breathing space for my tummy. I've had this issue with other brands, so maybe it's just me. I would recommend sizing up one size. Still, I will wear these again and again. I really liked them. A lot.
One other comment: this isn't my first pair of SKINS compression. A few years ago, I bought a pair of SKINS compression shorts for running. My youngest son, who plays rugby, needed a pair of compression shorts to wear underneath his rugby shorts. I gave him the SKINS compression shorts and he just loves them. In fact, when I told him I was trialling a pair of the tights, his comment was, "SKINS are the best". He says they are really comfortable and he doesn't really notice them when he's playing, but he does think they help him run faster.
Running for a try in his SKINScompression!

HomeEncyclopedia of Communist BiographiesGGradwell Ike
Gradwell Ike
September 19, 2008 admin G 0
The Swindon Party office in the early 1960s
Ike Gradwell
Gradwell was born 18th October 1906 to "highly skilled artisan parents"; his mother, Lizzie Irving was a dressmaker and his father Septimus (`Sep') Gradwell a joiner. Ike was the second of three sons all of whom became joiners and member of the Amalgamated Society of Woodworkers, in their father's branch, he was secretary in Ulverstone, near the Furness fells.
Ike had won a scholarship to the local grammar school but, due to the recession, in 1921 took apprenticeship to a local builder, coming out of `his time' in 1929 and then being laid off. His friend and later brother in law was however able to go to OxfordUniversity and brought back to Ulverstone copies of the Sunday Worker and the new Daily Worker.
Ike was lucky to then be taken on as a professional with HullKingston Rovers Rugby League football team. He used his signing on fee, after assisting his family, to pay his way through night school and qualified as a handicrafts teacher. In 1932, he obtained employment in Suffolk and then Swindon, where he would be based for the rest of his life. He brought his girlfriend, Ethel, there and they married and raised a family.
He became active in the NUT and would later become President of the Swindon Teachers Association; in 1948 and 1966, he was the only person ever to hold the office twice. In 1936, a year after he had moved to the town, he joined the Swindon Communist Party and he was to become its towering leader for a generation.
Using his own craft, he was involved with the project to fit motor cycle ambulances for Spain carried out by Swindon railway workshops activists. The works became a focal point for Communist propaganda activity. The local Party established Unity Bookshops in Corporation Street, named `Ethel Stevens House' after a legendary local activist; this was relocated in 1942 to Bridge Street.
He was seconded to Short's aircraft factory during the war when it was relocated in Swindon as a tool room fitter for three and a half years, becoming an AEU shop steward and secretary of the shop stewards committee. Then at the experimental department of Marine Mountings (later Lister's)
In the Cold War, like so many Communists, Ike was heavily involved in campaigning activities against war, especially as a key figure in the Swindon Peace Council.
As the Swindon Communist Party branch secretary for many years, he was also its Parliamentary candidate. In the 1950s, he also acted as secretary to the Swindon Rail group, the party organisation in the workshops, producing their journal `North Star' from March 1951 for eleven years. The early death of his wife in 1957, severely curtailed his time for such activity, given that he had three young children to care for.
Nonetheless, within these constraints, Ike continued to campaign, leafleting factories at odd times.
He married Angela Tuckett, a labour movement historian of some note in 1962. As his personal circumstances improved, he stood in the 1964 and 1966 general elections. His daughter, Judith, took over the mantle in the 1970 election. Despite ill-health, he had a second coronary attack in 1973, he was still as visible as ever out in the streets of Swindon in support of the miners and the UCS occupation. He was even able to became the secretary of the united labour movement Star Club, a once again relocated Edith Stevens House.
He died in 1977, on the evening of the last day of the West of England District Communist Party Congress, after he had delivered a typically positive contribution, a conjunction he widow noted: "How fitting that was."

Worry, Worry, Worry...Too Much Worry!
Man, it has been a while since I blogged last. About a month and four days to be exact. As I sit here and begin to type I cannot help, but think about a fear of mine. When I started this blog site, I had several fears. I worried what if no one read it. I worried about what would I write about. I worried about what I finding the time to blog. Most importantly, I worried about how often I would do so.
In the course of the past several months that I have been blogging, I realized about a week or so ago, that one of those fears came true. I recognized that I have not blogged since November 24. When I recognized that, I began to panic a little and grew extremely disappointed in myself. But then I thought about a book that I usually read to my class every year. That book is Wemberly Worried. I thought about how I got to stop worrying to the point where I cause fear to set in and stress myself out. Also, just sitting around worrying about this was not going to do much for me.
As a close this piece, I cannot help, but think about the important messages from that book. My class and I normally discuss those messages every year, and yet it is amazing to me that I did not remember the conversations earlier. We all worry about things, but sometimes we worry, worry, and continue to worry. It can become overwhelming. One thing my girlfriend reminded me of in the beginning of our relationship, is sometimes you have to let go and let flow! In reality, that is the key to combating worry and fear.

In this excerpt from a longer column, the Rev. Canon Albert Ogle tells how a retired couple is supporting change in Africa through personal contact with a priest from Malawi who was one of 26 LGBT activists who visited Washington, D.C., in July through Ogle's Spirit of 76 Worldwide program.
I returned to DC this week, six weeks after the event, to see what impact these people and their stories had upon the shepherds [host families] and their congregations. I discovered that the impact was quite profound. One retired married couple had provided a base for Macdonald Sembereka, an Anglican priest living in Malawi. He is HIV-positive and part of an international network of 7,000 HIV-positive religious leaders called INERELA.
As a straight advocate for LGBT inclusion, Macdonald experienced so much stigma from his faith community that he now works to alleviate it for everyone. When he began to speak out in favor of decriminalization of LGBT people in Malawi, the mob turned on him. As legislators added lesbianism to the anti-gay penal code, someone firebombed Macdonald's home last year while his wife and children lay sleeping. This did not deter him from working to reduce discrimination against LGBT people and he focused largely on the homophobia within the churches and began to organize conference for religious leaders and politicians to discuss this issue.
So we assigned Macdonald to [the Church of the] Good Shepherd in the hope there would be good chemistry and, sure enough, the report last night from our two retired teachers was extremely encouraging.
Macdonald had been invited to D.C. to take part in a meeting of the Presidential AIDS Program (PEPFAR) and he wanted to stay with his new friends in Silver Spring. So they were sitting at the dinner table when Macdonald's cell phone rang and he answered it. He excused himself and began talking energetically and used the word "Excellency" a couple of times. As the new presidential adviser on Non Government Organizations, Macdonald was speaking with Joyce Banda, the president of Malawi. She was in New York trying to raise support to feed her 1.3 million starving people and was now on her way to Washington to build more support for her case.
At Clinton Global Initiative 2012 meeting, from left to right, Bishop Christopher Senyonjo of Uganda; the Rev. Canon Albert Ogle; Trevor Manuel, minister of national planning in South Africa; and Joyce Banda, president of Malawi.
Macdonald passed the phone to his host to say hello. Mary was eating her ice cream and didn't have to time to figure out she was speaking to a head of state. She remembered to call her "Your Excellency" and they had a conversation about her Presbyterian past and the mission she was on in the USA. She told the president how Macdonald had changed their awareness about so many international issues and how impressed they were that she was one of the few African heads of state willing to look seriously at repealing the anti-gay laws on her countries books.
Mary's congregation raised almost $3,000 to support the Spirit of 76 program to bring 26 international visitors and an additional $1,000 to support a little orphanage Macdonald was helping. A little money for uniforms and school fees went a long way. The couple laughed and recounted how excited he was to shop at our bargain department stores for shoes and clothes for his orphans. He was particularly proud of one who had made it to medical school.
The Silver Springs congregation is now supporting his work and Macdonald is welcome any time in Mary and Paul's home. Their tangible support of this one man is helping to change a country and simply by opening hearts and homes, Macdonald was able to find kindred spirits and the bread of angels to sustain him on a difficult journey towards equality.
