Researchers explore immune responses to mpox infections
By Neha MathurJan 17 2023Reviewed by Aimee Molineux
In a recent article published in iScience, researchers demonstrated that individuals recovering from mpox virus (MPXV) infection have neutralizing antibodies that target MPXV antigens A35R and H3L.

MPXV, belonging to the Orthopoxvirus genus, is a close relative of the Vaccinia virus (VACV). It expresses ~25 proteins on its mature virion (MV) and six proteins on its enveloped virion (EV), with the former being the dominant form during inter-host transmission and the latter during intra-host transmission.
Though the MPXV case mortality rate was just about 0.1% for the 2022 MPXV outbreak, its cases are surging, especially in Europe and America. Thus, there is an urgent need for rapid antigen-based serological assays for MPXV diagnosis.
These tests could be advantages, for they would require a non-biosafety level 3 (BSL3) point of care site only. Additionally, serological assays could help identify T cells, but more importantly, B cell markers, leading to the extraction of neutralizing antibodies that could later serve as therapeutics.
Most importantly, serological assays could highlight targets for MPXV vaccines.
In the present study, researchers first expressed two MPXV antigens from the MV form and one from the EV form. Next, they tested their reactivity to sera from MPXV convalescents and compared it to the immune responses from vaccinated individuals who received a VACV-based vaccine, JYNNEOS. The researchers used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to test the binding between heat-inactivated sera from MPXV convalescents and vaccinated individuals.
The study population comprised 11 MPXV recoverees identified in Israel between May and June 2022. The team collected their serum samples 33 to 62 days post-infection. Likewise, they collected samples from six recently vaccinated male donors (VPXV) who had received JYNNEOS and two cohorts of MPXV-uninfected male donors below and above 45 years of age. The researchers expected that the latter cohort had received a Vaccinia-based vaccine in the past.
Studies have shown that VACV vaccination elicits serum neutralization against VACV Lister. Thus, the team examined whether sera, specifically protein-A-purified immunoglobulins (IgG) from MPXV recoverees, exhibited neutralizing activity in a plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT). This experiment had both negative and positive controls. While purified IgG from uninfected donors less than 45 years served as negative controls, and those from vaccinated donors served as the positive control. Furthermore, the team repeated this experiment post adding complement serum, known to neutralize the MV and EV forms of MPXV and VACV.
Finally, the team mapped three MPXV antigens elicited against either MPXV or VACV infection. These were A35R from the EV form, M1R, and H3L from the MV form.
Study findings
The study population comprised only males, 23 to 39 years of age, with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed MPXV infection. Their symptoms included rash, blisters, and fever. Heat-inactivated sera from all MPXV recoverees and recent and past vaccinated (i.e., VPXV and >45yo, respectively) reacted with VACV, indicating the longevity of Vaccinia vaccination. Though, expectedly, sera from uninfected <45yo donors had significantly lower binding to the inactivated VACV.
In the PRNT assay, four MPXV recoverees exhibited some detectable neutralizing activity. Yet, all exhibited markedly less neutralization than vaccinated donors. Surprisingly, another four MPXV recoverees showed detectable neutralization activity after adding complement. They also exhibited a 10 to 44% improved neutralizing activity.
The researchers noted that sera from MPXV recoverees reacted with A35R antigen depending on the dose. Moreover, it exhibited the highest activity than vaccinated and uninfected groups. On the contrary, MPXV recoverees the most strongly recognized M1R compared to uninfected less than 45-year-olds. Yet, their response was comparable to that of the vaccinated group. Likewise, the immune response to the third antigen, H3L, was more pronounced for MPXV recoverees than vaccinated and uninfected groups, albeit binding was not substantially different.
To summarize, sera from MPXV convalescents had neutralizing antibodies and B cells against two MPXV antigens. A35R and H3L. A35R is one of the six proteins expressed in the EV form of MPXV, whereas the MV form of the virus expresses the H3L antigen. Moreover, these individuals elicited a stronger B cell response to these antigens than vaccinated individuals, indicating the slight difference between the two viruses. Though homologous, amino acid sequences of the two antigens vary slightly between MPXV and VACV.
MPXV convalescents did not display substantial neutralizing activity against VACV in PRNT assay one to two months after infection. However, they bound a 124-amino acid fragment of A35R antigen, markedly more than vaccinated or uninfected donors. It is noteworthy that plaque assay detects MV- rather than EV-form-related MPXV and VACV inhibition. Lastly, MPXV-specific antibodies and T cells also contributed to viral clearance.

Starry Night: Astronomers and Poets Read the Sky
By David H. Levy
Publisher Prometheus Books
Publication date December 1, 2000
Dimensions 0.50 by 5.25 by 7.25 in.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Over the centuries the starry night sky has inspired poets and scientists alike, and though the fruits of these inspirations take very different forms, they often enrich each other. Acclaimed science writer David Levy, the codiscoverer of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, has written this wonderful jewel of a book to celebrate the complementary visions of human wonder and curiosity that are expressed in the separate disciplines of poetry and astronomy.
Levy, known for his infectious enthusiasm, traces the works of the greatest poets-Shakespeare, Milton, Keats, Shelley, and others-to show how they were influenced not only by the beauty of the heavens but by their times, celestial events, and moreover by the discoveries of such great scientists as Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton.
How strong is the connection between literature and science? Levy says, "To think that science and poetry are two disciplines that are properly divorced from each other is to lose sight of what each is about and what their common goal is. In their highest forms, both are avenues of inquiry into the human condition and its relationship to the Universe. Knowing what that Universe is and how it is structured is fundamental to each."
The book culminates with Levy's eloquent reflections on the spectacular crash into the planet Jupiter of the comet he discovered:
"It was the most conspicuous marking ever seen on another planet. By the end of impact week, Jupiter lay bombarded with these dark clouds, markings that remained visible for almost a year. Thou too, O Comet beautiful and fierce, Who drew the heart of this frail Universe Towards thine own; till, wrecked in that convulsion, Alternating attraction and repulsion, Thine went astray and that was rent in twain; Oh, float into our azure heaven again! - Percy Bysshe Shelley, Epipsychidion, 1821"

Ethics laws affect every legislator and thus, engender 197 strong opinions in the 197-member General Assembly. But from the broad array of options presented, the General Laws Committee will craft a package to present to the full House, promised the chairman, Rep. Caleb Jones, R-California.
Missouri is the lone state that sets no limits on gifts from lobbyists or campaign contributions from political donors, a distinction that Gov. Jay Nixon and Secretary of State Jason Kander, both Democrats, have urged the Republican-led Legislature to change.
But seven weeks into the legislative session, the bills are moving slowly. GOP leaders, especially in the Senate, have indicated they're more likely to tackle lobbying rules than reinstate contribution limits, which were repealed in 2008.
Their main argument: that transparency — strict reporting of campaign donations — is better than limits, because limits don't stop the flow of money.
However, Rep. Kevin McManus, D-Kansas City, said Missouri's system isn't so transparent. Donors can conceal their identities by funneling money through multiple political action committees or sham nonprofit entities.
His bill would attack that practice with tougher enforcement mechanisms — for example, barring a candidate from receiving money from a committee that drew the majority of its funding from a single individual.
McManus' bill also would set contribution limits ranging from $500 for state House candidates to $2,600 for those running for statewide offices. That approach is backed by Kander, the state's chief elections official.
But some members of the House committee said the 136-page bill went too far, for instance, by rewarding whistleblowers who provided tips about ethics violations and letting the Missouri Ethics Commission keep part of the fines they collect.
Some legislators complained that the monthly reports that lobbyists file mischaracterize the "gifts" legislators receive. They said their reported freebies have include engraved awards, an unsolicited package containing a ham and invitations to receptions where the legislator stopped by but didn't eat.
Jones, the chairman, sponsors a bill that he said would get rid of "a lot of the heartache" on that issue by exempting from reports items valued at less than $9. He also would put annual caps of $900 per legislator on lobbyist-provided meals and another $900 on gifts, such as tickets to sporting events.
Colona, however, said "full and complete disclosure" was a better answer. "That way, if you want to argue that a $5 donut bought my vote for CenturyLink … go ahead," he said.
Legislators are paid roughly $36,000 a year. They also receive mileage reimbursements and an expense allowance of about $104 a day to cover meals and lodging in the capital. The legislative session runs from January through mid-May, but legislators say they handle constituent matters year-round.
"It's my hope it helps the public realize, we're down here doing government work, public service, and trying to make a difference in the state of Missouri. This isn't 'House of Cards,'" he said, referring to the Netflix political drama.
The bills are HB1258, HB1260, HB1267, HB1340 and HB1440.

One Company's 'Blueprint' for Magazine Media to Thrive
By: Cobus Heyl
It boils down to strength of connections allowing brands to monetise across an increased number of touch points, leaving it less exposed to the uncertainties of an ad market stacked against the original, quality producers of content.
In order to achieve this, they need to do a few things well, including:
1. A ruthless focus on building relationships of trust with consumers around prime interests
2. Providing consumers with opportunities to connect around, express and revel in their passions
3. An understanding that "magazine media" does not only mean developing media content brands, but also the platforms that support the monetisation of said brands
A case in point is the UK's Immediate Media, a magazine media company only launched in 2011 when the digital disruption of media was already well, well underway.
Within the space of 6 years, the firm, describing itself as "a special interest content and platform company", established its credentials sufficiently to be acquired by Germany-headquartered Hubert Burda Media – itself a "media and technology operation", but with legacy stretching back more than 100 years – for an undisclosed sum.
Get stories like these delivered to your inbox every week by subscribing to the FIPP World newsletter.
Part of Immediate's appeal lies in the company's ruthless ability to engage and deliver to special interest audiences, maximising the chain of value opportunities each and ever consumer presents. In a world where monthly audiences are often measured in the hundreds of millions, if not billion plus, Immediate Media shows what can be achieved with an audience of 19 million on the basis of the strength of connections between audience and brand and among the audience itself.
The bottom line for magazine media with this in mind: Quantity of relationships does not trump quality of relationships in each and every instance, provided you are smart in how you go about developing your model. In the case of Immediate, it is built on three pillars (we mention a fourth, crucial one below):
1. Special interest content
2. Special interest platforms
3. Technology infrastructure in support of the above
To achieve the above, Immediate set about building the business through a combination of organic development supported by smart acquisitions aimed at exploiting opportunities brought about special interest brands' ability to connect at a deeply emotional level.
In doing so, it enables the business to monetise across a range of consumer touch points, making it less exposed to the vagaries of the advertising market. FIPP asked Immediate Media Co's Francois-Regis Coumau (pictured above), group managing director of consumer revenues, three questions about the group's thinking around monetisation "direct from consumer" (rather than, or more specifically, on top of advertising). These were:
1. What are the key "direct from consumer" monetisation opportunities for you?
2. How do you go about developing these?
3. How do you move people through the purchase funnel, from awareness through to purchase and repeat transacting?
Special interest content; special interest platforms
To the first question, Francois-Regis said the group hopes "to capture the strategic opportunity from our customers" through the definition of being a special interest content and platform company. Thinking with ruthless focus in these terms, it appears to allow the company to consider media not as "legacy versus new", but with 100 per cent focus on the consumer first, then building the opportunity from there.
According to Francois-Regis, Immediate Media's "print business continues to thrive – we're actually growing retail sales value and have launch over 25 magazines in the last five years. That's because we play in special interest sectors where we absolutely understand the passions of our audiences.
"From TV and entertainment to food, weddings, crafting to parenting, gardening to cycling, we have created brands which are powered by world-class content creators and trusted implicitly by our super-engaged audiences – who add up: in total we reach over 19 million UK consumers each month."
The above, then, is the special interest content component.
"The platform element of the strategic mission is all about utilising our consumer engagement and our deep insights into those special interest economies to offer new products and services.
"That trust which is so important between our brands and their audiences means our customers give us permission to develop new ways to meet – and hopefully exceed – their expectations. That could be through partnership transaction models, digital marketplaces or direct e-commerce through our TV shopping channels JewelleryMaker and The Sewing Quarter."
Owning 'retail moments'
"Our platform strategy means that we have been absolutely focused on optimising our customer database of over nine million UK consumers while at the same time developing a technology infrastructure which means we can move with agility to exploit new business model opportunities," said Francois-Regis, responding to the second question.
"A good example is our TV shopping brand, JewelleryMaker. Immediate was already the number one publisher of craft magazines, with a strong and growing digital footprint. So we already had a dialogue with millions of active crafters, entertaining, educating and inspiring them. Which is what magazines do so well. But we were too far away from the retail moment in the sector, which in the UK is worth over £3bn annually.
"The strategic acquisition of JewelleryMaker gave us not only a great brand and a great business model, but it also gave us two new platforms: TV shopping and e-commerce.
"Very quickly we ensured that the technology set was absorbed into our overall technology infrastructure and we started to apply the platform opportunity elsewhere – and obviously given our cross-marketing capabilities our first new TV shopping and e-commerce launch was in the craft sector. The Sewing Quarter launched in January and is already gaining real traction. And with models like TV shopping and e-commerce we're able to own the retail moment that we have inspired through our fantastic content."
'Laser targeting' to move consumers through the funnel
In answer to the third question, Francois-Regis refers to Immediate's "super-engaged" consumers (again), the ability of magazine media brands to develop relationships of trust and the willingness of loyal consumers to share insights (i.e. data) with their brands.
"Our super-engaged consumers tell us a lot about themselves – they trust us. And that means that we can tailor services to their needs. That could be through introducing them to relevant suppliers through digital marketplaces like hitched – the UK's premier digital wedding brand reaching over one million brides and brides-to-be.
"Or it could be via transactional models like Your RT, the hugely popular section of Radio Times which offers our readers holidays, books and financial services products via trusted partners.
"A very focused data strategy means we're able to laser target communities of interest with the right offer at the right time, and that's driving real growth in our direct-from-consumer revenues."
In addition to the above – the 4th pillar
Over the years, Tom Bureau, CEO of Immediate Media, has several times highlighted the importance of culture, talent and management of change as a crucial pillar – perhaps the most critical – for success. Below is an excerpt from what he told FIPP ahead of speaking at the 40th FIPP World Congress in 2015, about building the company. He explained that Immediate thinks about culture, talent and change in two ways.
"The first way is to acquire the skillsets, particularly from a senior leadership perspective, that we lack – and there are lots of examples of us bringing talent into the business that we historically probably wouldn't have. For instance our most recent hires [in 2015] to the leadership team from Tesco (CIO Toby Hoon) and eBay (Francois-Regis Coumau, quoted above).
"Secondly, we are very focused on developing the talent we already have in the organisation and thinking about how we move people into new roles. You have to get the right balance, and you have to be careful you don't break the machine by changing too many of the parts at once. But if you don't change it enough, then you don't change the central gravity of the business and, while it's always a work in progress, we are pretty committed to that."
Immediate's 'blueprint', then, for magazine media, in summary
3. Technology infrastructure
4. Culture, talent and management of change
5. Lazor-sharp customer insight (data); "owning" multiple touch points

First lady launches Malaria prevention project
Accra, Feb. 22, GNA - First Lady, Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo on Wednesday launched the Private Sector Malaria Prevention Project and Malaria Safe Initiative to encourage active private sector participation in efforts at eradicating incidents of Malaria in Ghana. The initiative, spearheaded by the Johns Hopkins University Centre for Communication Programmes together with Ghana National Malaria
Accra, Feb. 22, GNA - First Lady, Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo on Wednesday launched the Private Sector Malaria Prevention Project and Malaria Safe Initiative to encourage active private sector participation in efforts at eradicating incidents of Malaria in Ghana.
The initiative, spearheaded by the Johns Hopkins University Centre for Communication Programmes together with Ghana National Malaria Control Programmes, is targeted at getting businesses in Ghana to make their working environment and their workers Malaria safe, and supporting communities in Ghana to be Malaria safe through creating awareness and championing Malaria free campaigns within their institutions and Ghana as a whole.
Mrs Akufo-Addo expressed delight at the initiative noting that "the fight against Malaria is not only a passion for me but a responsibility I bear, not only as a mother but as a true citizen who cares for the health of all our people".
She observed that Malaria as a disease had devastating consequences especially on pregnant women and children as well as the socio-economic developments of Ghana as a nation.
She noted that "Malaria in Ghana accounted for about 48.5 % of under-five deaths in 2015, and remained one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the country."
The First Lady said apart from these negative effects on the general population, Malaria was also bad for business.
She indicated that a report by National Malaria Control Programme revealed Ghana lost about US$ 6.58 million to malaria in 2014 through employee absenteeism, increased health care spending, and decreased productivity.
The companies involved in this survey spent an average of 0.5 per cent of their annual corporate returns on Malaria treatment alone.
Mrs Akufo-Addo therefore admonished members of the private sector to be active participants in malaria prevention since "it is a sure way to support government in sustaining health and promoting wealth."
She called on the Ghanaian business sector "to rise to the occasion and embrace the goals of the Ghana-UK Private Sector Malaria Prevention Project and it's Malaria Safe Initiative."
At the launch were representatives from companies including Volta River Estates, Ghana Rubber Estates, Blue Skies, Plot Enterprise, Wilmer Africa as well as The UK High Commissioner Mr Jon Benjamin, Country Director of Johns Hopkins University Centre for Communications Programmes, Mr. Emmanuel Fiagbe, Manager of Ghana National Malaria Control Programme Mrs. Constance Bant Plange, and Ghana's Special Malaria Ambassador, Mr. Prince Kofi Amoabeng

I have a join table Projects for a many-to-many relationship with Project Information and Replicon. I have created the relationships between them. When I go the the Projects table and create a new project, I see an Add Project Information button and an Add Replicon button, which, when pressed, takes me to the corresponding tables to enter new information.
Upon saving the information and returning back to the Projects table, I get the information to appear for the Project Information but nothing for Replicon. Currently there is the table to show Replicon codes, but it is not filled in.
Some background. In the Replicon table is a field Code that is a formula-text field. It gathers data from various parts of a related app (which all is populated) and some that the user inputs. The only part I want to carry back to the Projects table is the Code. This code will never change. Additionally, When I go to the Replicon table from the Projects table, I have to select the project number from a drop-down list instead of it just being there.
So my questions are, "Why is the Replicon code not filled in?" & "How can I make the data from the Project Information table, which is related to the Replicon table and the Projects join table, auto populate?"
My second question is, "Is it possible to just make this a field that auto populates when I come back to the Projects table?"
Ideally when the team lead Adds a new project and goes to the Replicon table, they will enter the needed information, the code is generated and when they save the record it goes back to the Projects table and populates a field. Then the rest of the team will only View the record and only see the Replicon Code, no Add button.
I am currently using the QB generated Record ID# for all tables, but I read something from MCFTech that mentioned using a different field at the reference field and this can help. Problem is while the Replicon code is unique to a project, it is a formula field.
I will try to create prototype screenshots after understanding data and relationships.Visual description might be helpful in resolution.
You also have many to many relationship between Projects and Replicon.
Projects-Replicon which has info from both Projects and Replicon.
(1)What are the tables(with fields) and relationships do you have?
(2)Do you have any sample data for the tables?
So to make it easier, I took screen shots of the relationships.
I do have test data populated. Since I posted, I managed to get the relevant Replicon code to come over, see below, but what I really want is a field that just shows the Replicon code.
In all instances, the standard QB assigned ID is used, though I renamed it to the table name for clarity.
I still have to choose the project when I open the Replicon table to put in the data. I would like that to just carry over the appropriate data already input into the Projects table (See below).
Sorry for doing it this way, but I figured it would help to clarify things easier if you saw the relationships and the output.
I got part of it. I found this little gem hidden in the forum.
Now if I can get the Replicon table setup where it is auto populated with the Project Information table data, then I will be happy.
"Now if I can get the Replicon table setup where it is auto populated with the Project Information table data, then I will be happy."
You can create lookup field on Replicon which gets data from "Project Information" .
Relationship of "Project Information" with "Replicon" would allow that.


I tend to disagree. The Pubs sunk the Bill. All they needed were 15 Pubs and all the Dems to march it through the Senate. Furthermore, I fault every President since Reagan, for not enforcing the reforms that were in Reagan's Amnesty of 1986.

Believe it or not this purple beetle is a great hopper. Just try it for yourself and you will see that we are right. Now hop up into the purple beetle and hop, hop over the other cars. In order to complete a level you need to reach the finish line within 30 seconds, without crashing too much. You have just 30 seconds time limit, so try to be fast and accurate at the same time, because if you crash too many times you will slow down and thus lose the game. Once you lose the game, no matter at what level you are, you must start from the very beginning.

Here's the advice my grandpa gave my uncle the summer of 1967.
Since we had little time to talk before you embarked for your stint in the army, you missed out on some good advice on how to get along in the army without half trying. Here are a few gems from which you can profit.
l. Most soldiers are assigned to KP duty sometime during their khaki career. This isn't at all necessary. Should some sergeant suggest that you might like to wash a few pans, just ask to be excused. Explain that you never were one to enjoy working around the kitchen and that you see no reason why you should start at your time of life. If he coaxes, be firm. Be polite, but firm. When he realizes you mean business, he'll go find someone less determined than yourself.
2. The army has the unhappy habit of being noisy early in the morning. Some showoff will come walking through the barracks yelling, "On your feet" or, if he is the real eager type, Up and at em, youse guys. What do you want to do, sleep all day? Don't stand for it. Just tell this early morning moron that if he doesn't exercise a little more self control, you will report him to the C.O. A simple warning of this type is usually sufficient to make the most ardent troublemaker (the early morning variety) think twice before he bothers you before you are ready to roll out.
3. One of the silliest things the army does is insist on soldiers walking everywhere they go. Occasionally some super maniac will suggest getting there in double time. A crowning insult is when they load the soldiers down with packs before they march them. Don't be taken in on this little gimmick. The army has plenty of trucks for hauling purposes and also gobs of autos for comfortable riding. Ask to be driven to where you are to go, and don't be selfish, invite some of your friends to ride with you. Once the sergeants see that you mean business about this hiking bit, they will treat you with respect and not try to impose on you.
4. Occasionally someone gets all fouled up on what he is doing and a line forms. When this happens ask for a folding chair. When you get it, have whoever brings it to you set it up for you in the shade. No use getting all hot and sweaty because some knucklehead who should have known better got you where he wanted you before you were really due.
5. The army doesn't produce the best cooks in the world. infrequently your steak will be served too well done. Send it back-and keep sending it back-until you get it the way you want it. If you do this right off the bat, the cooks will soon get to know just how you want your food prepared and be careful to cook it to suit you. Above all, don't pauper the domestic help. It is their job to keep you well fed and insist that they do it in a savory way. If the mess hall (what a horrid name) isn't equipped with tablecloths, request then.
6. Because we have a draft, many service type people are inducted into the army. In every group you will find at least one bootblack, a tailor, someone trained to make up beds, a janitor or two, a window cleaner, polishers, scrubbers, etc. Take advantage of their comradeship. When your shoes need polishing, get the bootblack to give them a shine. The tailor will be glad to hang up your clothes each night, and the butler type will make up your bed if you are polite when you ask him. I tell you this because there is no sense in your doing something someone else has spent his life learning to do. They will appreciate the opportunity to keep in practice and appreciate your thoughtfulness. Once in a while some surly servant type who is too big for his britches" will rebuff you with some snide remark like, Are youse kidding? Do it yourself, wise guy, when this happens, you have no recourse but to report him. Don't feel badly about doing it either. It is for his own good.
7. If you run out of money, want a five day pass, would like a transfer, need a date, can't locate your dog tags, need someone to tell your troubles to, don't think you are being treated with the respect you feel you deserve, or are just plain lonely, – send for the chaplain. He'll come a runnin. Be sure to thank him when he accomplishes what you ask him to do. You might commend him to the C.O. if he does a real efficient job. This way he will really be your friend and come even faster the next time he is needed.
Not all fathers take time nor have the knowledge to get their sons started out in the army in the right fashion. You might want to share this advice with some of your newfound friends. As a matter of fact, you would be smart to do just that. After all, you don't want to be in the guardhouse all by yourself.
This is so funny! What a great letter to find!
Thank you! I wish I had more of his letters.
lol. Great sense of humor.

Ojibway man's native rights asserted
The U.S. government has recommended to dismiss charges of possessing wildlife without a licence against an Ojibway man from the Nippissing First Nation residing in the Town of Attica, New York. On Feb. 10, 2014, nine Department of Environmental Conservation officers and one Fish and Wildlife Services agent raided John Volpe's home and confiscated 105
The U.S. government has recommended to dismiss charges of possessing wildlife without a licence against an Ojibway man from the Nippissing First Nation residing in the Town of Attica, New York.
On Feb. 10, 2014, nine Department of Environmental Conservation officers and one Fish and Wildlife Services agent raided John Volpe's home and confiscated 105 baby snapping turtles and dozens of stuffed birds. They also took down Eagle feathers considered sacred from his sweat lodge and tossed around a 300-year-old wooden pipe "like it was a baseball," he said in a phone interview.
Volpe, 62, was charged with 190 state and seven federal violations of the Environmental Conservation Law.
However, on Dec. 19, the federal government recommended for the courts to dismiss the federal charges on the grounds that his Native American descent gives him the right to have those animals in his possession.
"It's a recognition on the part of the U.S. attorney's office that John is a practicing Native American with Native American blood coursing through his veins," said George Muscato, Volpe's lawyer.
Volpe's ancestry had been in question because he had failed to produce a licence showing he's from a federally-recognized tribe on the day of the raid.
"They did ask me for an Indian card, and at the time I asked them to show me their own nationality card," he recalled. "I said, 'Why are we always the only ones who have to show a card? Why should I have to show you what I am? Why don't you carry a card?'"
Nevertheless, Volpe showed them his Métis National Council card, but they told them it wasn't recognized in the U.S. They went on to charge him for allegedly illegally holding animal parts including Eagle Feathers, which the police desecrated by callously throwing them on the ground, said Volpe.
"I think they were trying to get me….ticked off so they could just throw me right into jail," he said. "Because they were so disrespectful to all of the native things that I have, to all of the medicines."
Volpe's next court date is on Jan. 13 in Attica, when he and his lawyer will argue that the scope of the DEC (state's) statute is "unconstitutionally broad."
"It's unconstitutional because it deprives him of his right to practice a religion or tradition," said Muscato. "He is a Native American who is an adherent of the orthodox values of Native Americans. While he possesses these (animals), he did it strictly as a practicing Native American."
Volpe was born in Barry, Ontario and has owned a sweat lodge in Attica for more than 15 years. He's also practiced taxidermy as well as traditional animal medicine for more than 30 years, and he heals wounded animals which people from the surrounding Seneca and Tonawanda reserves bring to him. He's even cooperated with the DEC in the past by providing them documented samples of contaminated water and diseased animals with deformities.
But in 2005, the DEC began constantly visiting his sweat lodge and interrupting his ceremonies, demanding he show his licence. Finally in 2006, hoping to stop their unwelcomed visits, Volpe took and passed the state's Wildlife Rehabilitation Exam, the first step to acquiring a licence. But when he took that to the DEC, he was blocked.
"The (DEC) guy said for him to give me my rehab licence I have to get a federal permit," he recalled. "And I said I already talked to (the feds), and they said they can't give me a permit until I get my rehab licence."
Officials from the DEC did not respond to questions before going to print.
In 2008, Volpe began documenting a series of spills from O-At-Ka Milk Products onto Chapin Lagoon, in Batavia, a town about 20 minutes north of Attica. He presented the DEC with reports of higher than normal pH levels in the water, which reduce its quality, high water temperatures which interrupted animals' hibernation cycles, causing them to die, and even photographs of 144 fish and over 60 turtles found dead as a result of the various spills, which have been documented on the DEC database.
In April of this year the DEC sent a notice of violation to O-At-Ka, advising them they were in violation of the DEC's State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit and three environmental conservation laws. The letter covers "repeated spills of milk and cleaning solution" which have caused a "contravention of water quality standards for pH" on "at least six separate occasions" as well as "fish kill of over 100 fish of various species."
The company was asked to complete a facility review, to submit a copy of its best management practices and list of responses and corrective action plans by May 2014. It was also asked to install a continuous recording pH meter. David Crisp, director of business and development at O-At-Ka, said they worked closely with the DEC to ensure all of these requirements were met.
However, Volpe said the letter did not go back far enough, despite there being ample documentation showing spills going back to at least 2008. Volpe has also found discoloured fish missing their slime and scales, others blinded and many with non-functioning gills; he's found beavers and water snakes with tumours causing them to suffer from 'telescoping' – a condition, caused by blockage, where the small intestine is sucked into the bigger one.
He said these are all results of high levels of hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide which continue to be dumped into the water by O-At-Ka Milk Products, and added that there's no evidence as of yet that any action, fines or penalties have been taken against the company.
"Nothing's changed," he said, referring to the fact that the pH levels continue to register at around 9.0, which sits at the extreme end of the 'normal' scale.
"But if you look at pH levels, very little can actually live in a 9.0 pH. Seven-point-zero is actually balanced. Once you start to get 9.0, you're really exceeding…what wildlife can actually handle," he said.
As of Dec. 17, Volpe recorded the water temperature at 67 degrees Fahrenheit, though the normal for this time of the year should be at around 30, he explained.
"Which means that turtles, frogs and snakes do not hibernate. So…they use up all their fat reserves and usually end up dying through the winter because the water never freezes."
Chris Krtanik, Volpe's life-long friend, said Volpe has constantly helped the DEC and has worked hard to care for wounded wildlife.
"He's honest in what he's doing. He lives what he is and there's nothing that he's done that jeopardizes the law," he said, adding that he suspects the feds were scared of losing a case that could set an important precedent.
"I think they were fearful of losing the case [because] that would've strengthened the next person's case," he said. "And they probably realized John could've won with a jury trial."
If Volpe is convicted, he faces up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $250 for each violation.
"But I can't imagine that the judge would not dismiss the charges," said Muscato.

The TAC offers an exciting Graduate Program from which recent university graduates can launch their careers. The program duration is 2 years and develops Graduates in an accelerated manner to create a future talent pipeline for the TAC. TAC sought to improve and update its graduate recruitment process by integrating online psychometric testing.
Testgrid successfully implemented a robust, flexible and cost effective solution for the TAC, using a battery of cognitive ability assessments to screen and behavioural assessments to select candidates. The Testgrid solution provided the decision makers at the TAC with a ranking of candidates using a group report for easy comparison of multiple candidates, and shortlisting candidates with higher cognitive abilities to succeed, for the next stage of the recruitment process.
Testgrid recommended a behavioural assessment which is highly aligned to the TAC Leadership Model, which allowed the TAC to identify candidates who have greater potential for success at the TAC. Testgrid not only offered a wide range of assessments, but also provided flexible, lower priced reporting options to suit the TAC's needs for access to both summary profiles for selection in the later process, and comprehensive development report to enhance the graduate on-boarding process.
With Testgrid advanced technology, the TAC was able to administrate all assessments at once and download the behavioural reports for shortlisted candidates at the later stage without adding any costs. This sped up the recruitment process and reduced recruitment costs.
By implementing a valid and reliable behavioural assessment which aligned to the TAC's Leadership Model, the TAC was able to make reliable decisions around behavioural and cultural fit of graduates, and their leadership potential, which helped inform relevant development planning for graduates.
Testgrid has successfully demonstrated expert knowledge in graduate recruitment and thorough understanding of the TAC's needs and have satisfied the way in which the TAC wished to use the information. As such, the TAC graduate team were able to demonstrate great value to the business, of implementing psychometric tests as part of the recruitment process.


Sometimes, people decide that they need a change. This could involve anything, from changing jobs or taking a holiday to moving house or changing things in your current house. In most cases, this just means a few new coats of paint, but sometimes it's a bit more drastic than that. There comes the urge to add an extension to the house, or the desire to have new windows fitted. As manufacturers and suppliers of high quality windows, it's in Warmseal's and any other distributor's interest to ensure that the windows our customer's select are suitable for their homes and that they are allowed to have these windows fitted in the first place.
Conservatories, for example, require planning permission before any construction can take place. It's in the customer's best interest to know exactly what they can and can't do to their home as well; having access to such information before making any important decisions will save a lot of trouble in the long run. After all, building projects of any kind take time and can be very costly.
For customers that are coming to us with renovation plans, we at Warmseal would recommend that they take a look at Planning Portal. Planning Portal is an online service provided by the government that was created for members of the public to use, along with professionals and governmental employees and associates. It's designed to help its users understand the complexities and inner workings involved in making any significant changes to your home, allowing users to access building regulations to see if their own projects would qualify and then begin the necessary steps to get things running.
The site allows you to access all the necessary tools and information that you need about planning such changes and what developments you can make around the house. This is a simple way to learn more about what you can and cannot do in terms of renovations. Once you know the ins and outs and are good to go, then you can go through the site and apply for planning permission online. If necessary, you can even submit an appeal and keep track of its development. There's nothing more frustrating than having to pour over countless and indecipherable forms in order to apply for something, so Planning Portal has effectively streamlined this process for the user's convenience. It's a great source of information and offers plenty of useful tips and advice.
At Warmseal, we're always looking for ways to help out our customers in order to ensure that they are able to enter their renovation projects with confidence. Knowing and understanding the ins and outs of building regulations helps you to put those projects into the proper perspective. You might even find that the project you had in mind is not feasible, which will at least prevent you from making any costly plans and potentially losing money. Of course, if things go right and the time comes to getting those new conservatory windows fitted, we'll be there to see you through it!


After seven to ten billion cookies and countless miles logged around the world, Santa needs a rest.
When the sleigh's empty, he doesn't return to the North Pole. He does two things to prepare for next year. He goes straight to the gym, then relaxes for a few weeks at the beach, deep undercover. No one suspects Santa's in the sun, so he's safe from "I wants" even with his distinctive brand and beard.
Meanwhile, the elves get busy cleaning up for next year. Decluttering is a major issue in the North Pole, as it is for us all. Scraps of wrapping paper, last year's models, and trending items pack the workshops. Everything must go to make way for next year.
Many people don't know this, but that's how major retailers like Overstock.com, Amazon, and 6PM.com get their after-Christmas sale items. Elves clear out this year's models and firesale them to discount sites, switching warehouse codes and making back some of the cash they otherwise would've lost.
This way they can buy what they need to start production on things you'll love when Black Friday rolls around next year.
How do they know what you'll want this far ahead of time?
Easy… with today's market surveys, it doesn't take an elf to predict. Google is the biggest help of all. Ever think of something really obscure and put the first letter in the search window–and it appears?
Aardvark, for example. I know very little about aardvarks, so I search.
I type "a" in the window. Nothing more. Just the letter A. Magic! Aardvarks everywhere! The window autofills. I get pictures, videos, songs, and images. Before long, I'm an aardvark expert.
It's not difficult to see what people will want next year. Google ranks searches so the most popular rise to the top. I know what fashions will be trending and what people are searching for way ahead of the curve.
How do you think Santa knows what to make and how much of everything he'll need? Google's data goes straight to the Big Man himself.
How does he know what to get you specifically? Easy. If the NSA can monitor your web surfing, don't you think St. Nick can, too? Spies and governments are only human, but Santa–he's magic. So you'd better be searching for something nice.
Once the elves get rid of the overstock and start compiling reports for next year, production can begin. The Naughty and Nice Departments can base their numbers on last year's trends to finalize next year's gift list. Every once in a while there'll be peak niceness–more kids than ever earning gifts. Santa has to be ready.
I heard a rumor the Naughty Department made a change–Santa's not leaving coal anymore. He's bringing kale chips to the unkind and thoughtless instead. Coal's too valuable. Kale teaches lessons and promotes healthy eating, a win-win for Santa and children everywhere.
After a few weeks, the elves are done organizing and Santa comes back from the beach and gym a few pounds lighter and healthier, jollier than ever, ready to deal with the world's nonsense and to streamline operations for the upcoming season.
In honor of Santa's gifts and generosity, I'm decluttering, too.
It's never easy for me, but once in a while, I get in the mood. Because I'm an adult, I can have fun with this. I don't get grounded and have to "finish the job right" for everyone else. My goal–to make progress for me. That's a whole new ball game, but the way it should be. When I feel forced to do things, they don't always stick. When I improve for me, it's like charging a beacon the world can see.
It's a process, but it's critical to clear away the old to make way for the new, in our physical lives–and our mental and spiritual lives as well.
If it lifts me up, makes me smile, or makes me a better human being, it stays.
If not, it goes. Some things go immediately. Others must go gently–maybe even not today. Those, I pack in a mental bin because I'm not ready and I know I'll need to do more work on myself before they can leave forever, but when they do, I'll have a brighter light to shine and more space in my heart for the world.
That's how decluttering works in the body and the mind. I get rid of what I can now but I prepare to get rid of even more. I really don't need very much when I stop and think about it.
When I get rid of the excess, the clutter, and the nonsense, my life becomes better, filled with space and freedom to treasure new things, habits, people, pursuits, and ideas.
Santa knows this. So do his elves. This is how he runs his operation. It's how I seek to run mine, too.
Rest, regenerate, and remove… These are the secrets to a successful new year, and every day in between… May you be blessed with those things this year.
There are a thousand books out there on decluttering. My favorite is The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. It turns decluttering into something between hobby and zen. I now love to fold clothes.
Flylady.net. I used this site all the time the first time I decluttered. It gives the overwhelmed a new lease on planning, financial wellness, and getting rid of stuff, broken down into 15 minute challenges and small tasks. Most of physical clutter comes from a sense of the memories attached to items and a lack of knowing where to start. FlyLady is part motivation, part cheerleader. She definitely makes the process fun.
These are a few of my favorite resources. They either put a smile on my face or gave me one idea–or several–to be a better human being.
The Power of No: Because One Little Word Can Bring Health, Happiness, and Abundance by James Altucher and Claudia Azula-Altucher. Should you be saying "no" far more often? I bet you should. "No" is one of the most magical declutterers of all.
Live Your Truth by Kamal Ravikant. Often I don't live my own truth. "Live Your Truth" shares stories and lessons that remind me how to make life beautiful and get rid of some of the things that must go.
Get off your "But": How to End Self-Sabotage and Stand Up for Yourself by Dr. Sean Stephenson. Sean Stephenson's life is textbook inspirational. Dr. Stephenson overcame mountains to live. Tony Robbins wrote the foreword to this must-read, that teaches readers they can survive and thrive in any situation.
The Art of Extreme Self-Care by Cheryl Richardson. Sometimes I don't do what I need to do to sustain myself for the long haul. Cheryl reminds me life is a marathon, not a sprint.
Anything by Tony Robbins. Here's the link to "Awaken The Giant Within." but I prefer to listen to Tony Robbins' motivational speaking. Listen to this TED talk "Why Do We Do What We Do" today.
My book: Don't Sniff the Glue: A Teacher's Misadventures in Education Reform. It's not fair to put my book on this list of truly inspirational declutter books… or is it? Teachers are hoarders and clutterers. It's not our fault. We're trained to keep things because we work in systems that don't give us what we need. When I started decluttering at home, I was able to let go much more easily–in the classroom, too. I saved mountains of money–and space.
I'd love to hear your favorites. Please reach out to me on Twitter @runningdmc or by email: dawn@cafecasey.com or comment below.

Our flagstone set up in Rocklin, CA consist of two methods, that is, the dry and wet sets of installation. The dry one involves making a base of gravel and then placing the flagstone leveled. After that, we fill in the joints with some crushed granite or any other strong product that is fit enough to stabilize it after it gets wet. We have all the necessary concrete masonry services at our disposal, and their application depends on the budget and the ground firmness.
The wet installation method has a concrete slab installed and placed on the block. It is then leveled with a mortar which is them followed up by filling of the joints with the mortar. The choice of mortar is determined by you and the preferences that you have.

Q: GetAllUsers issue, ignore subordinated OUs Im trying to make an Active-Directory Management tool for my company and i want to get all Users from a specific OU, without getting Results of the under(?)-OU.
The structure is like this:
->XXXX.de

-->Germany

--->Users (Here are the Users i want to get)

(These are the unnecessary OUs / Results)

----> Administrative accounts

----> Other Accounts

My LDAP-Link (ldapPath) for the DirectorySearcher is
"LDAP://OU=Users,OU=Germany,DC=XXXX,DC=de".

Code:
public SearchResultCollection getAllUsers(string location)
{
    string ldapPath;

    SearchResultCollection allResults;

    try {

        ldapPath = getLdapPathFromLocation(location);

        DirectoryEntry entry = createDirectoryEntry(AD_BWFE, ldapPath);

        DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(entry);

        searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("cn");
        searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("sAmAccountName");

        allResults = searcher.FindAll();

        return allResults;
    }

A: Configure the DirectorySearcher so that it's searching specifically in the Users OU and then specify the SearchScope property as SearchScope.OneLevel (the default is SubTree).
Unfortunately, the only constructor overload that allows you to specify both at once is the kitchen sink constructor.

Public comment requested on MN timber-harvest goals.
Minnesota residents, please comment by 1/1/2018.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) has been asked to re-examine its timber-harvest goal for the 5 million acres of forests it manages in the state. Based on MN DNR and industry input, the goal is currently set at 800,000 cords per year. At this level of harvest, the forestry industry in Minnesota employs more than 64,000 people, and provides general revenue to the state and School Trust revenue to the schools (MN DNR 2017a). Some legislators would like to boost the industry by increasing the goal to 1,000,000 cords per year.
As in any change of this kind, there would be both costs and benefits. Costs would include the loss of old-growth forest habitat that's home to many types of wildlife (MN DNR 2017b) and appreciated by many types of people, and the consequent losses in natural resources, outdoor-recreation opportunities, and tourism revenue. The Minnesota tourism industry employs nearly 260,000 people and provides $930 million in sales-tax revenue (Explore MN 2017). Benefits would include an increase in forestry jobs, and increased state revenue.
An analysis of the proposed increase concluded that it would conflict with the conservation of the "non-timber values" of Minnesota forests, including "natural resource economies, biodiversity, water quality, wildlife habitat, and forest health" (MN DNR 2017c, Draft Report, Scenario 2).
If you believe that the current timber-harvest goal of 800,000 cords per year is high enough; and that increasing it to 1,000,000 cords per year would have environmental, economic, and human costs that would outweigh the benefits; then please fill out the public-comment form and ask the MN DNR to leave the goal where it is, at 800,000 cords per year or less.

Thomas misses chance for yellow jersey but eyes opportunities ahead

The pre-race prediction ahead of stage 10 of the Tour de France on Tuesday was that Team Sky's Geraint Thomas would inherit the yellow jersey from Greg Van Avermaet (BMC).
Thomas: Team Sky leadership will be decided in the Alps
Geraint Thomas: It would be nice if I was in yellow
Team Sky: We have one leader at the Tour de France
Chris Froome insists there is no rivalry within the team at the Tour de France
Geraint Thomas: It's too early to start thinking about winning the Tour de France

It was a sound hypothesis given that Thomas came into the Tour as the Critérium du Dauphiné winner and had not put a foot wrong during the opening nine days of racing. The Welshman – a superior climber to Van Avermaet on paper – started the first Alpine test 43 seconds in arrears, but ahead of the other GC contenders.
However, a gutsy ride from Van Avermaet – in which he infiltrated the day's break and even extended his GC lead to over two minutes – ensured that Thomas would remain second overall and therefore miss out on the yellow jersey.
Team Sky's tactics on stage 10 were clear for all to see. They kept the break at a respectable distance but never once set a pace that suggested that they wanted to propel Thomas into the lead. Their objectives at this year's Tour are based on long-term success – and that means yellow in Paris.
The British team set a fast but not unmanageable pace on the final two ascents before the finish at Le Grand-Bornand, and while a handful of GC prospects struggled after Monday's rest day, the stage ended in a relative stalemate.
"I said before, it's the Tour de France, so you can't have the jersey just because you want it. Fair play to Greg. He got himself in the break, and that's what he did last time he had the yellow jersey [in 2016], so we expected it," Thomas told Cyclingnews as he freewheeled to the Team Sky bus after the stage.
With a headwind on the final climb, and with Team Sky setting the pace, there were few sparks of action, with the majority of the overall contenders content to save their power for the next two mountain stages.
Only Daniel Martin (UAE Team Emirates) was willing to roll the dice with a late attack on the final climb. The Irishman drew a response from Team Sky, and was shut down as the race crested the summit and began the final descent to the finish.
"I expected someone to try on the last climb. Michal Kwiatkowski was setting a decent tempo, and there was a headwind, so maybe some people were put off by that. But tomorrow, for sure, it's going to hit the fan," Thomas said.
"Everyone was a bit unsure – or I was – how I was going to be. You expect the worse and hope for the best, but I was expecting someone to go. No one did, but there are still two more days. When Dan went, we had to squeeze and close him. We were in control."
With back-to-back stages in the Alps still to come, and with Movistar's trio of leaders promising to attack before Team Sky can gain the yellow jersey, the race is well poised.
Thomas' position within Team Sky's hierarchy is still unclear due to Chris Froome's status as the team's leader, but the Welshman could still pull on yellow after stage 11.
Thomas doesn't appear to be feeling the pressure at this stage, but he will be only too aware that taking yellow in the Alps will lead to more questions surrounding Team Sky's leadership. Whether those questions will still be relevant after Alpe d'Huez, on stage 13 on Thursday, remains to be seen.
"I'm used to leading at week-long stage races," Thomas continued. "Froome is the leader here, so there's no pressure on me. It's a bonus for me to be up there, and hopefully I can be there for as long as possible.
"Tomorrow [Wednesday] is a harder day. It's a short stage, and they might try to go early, but it's a mountain-top finish, so it's going to be selective. Then, the day after, we go up Alpe d'Huez, and that's going to be even harder."

How the Assassin's Creed movie reinvented a series staple

Assassin's Creed (2016)
Anyone who has played the Assassin's Creed games is familiar with the complex mythology of the series. But by "familiar with," I don't mean to say that they understand it. They just know that it's a soup of historical figures, ancient aliens, and lots of science fiction, but — you know — sleeve knives, so whatever.
This, of course, posed a challenge for the filmmakers attempting the leap of faith in bringing Assassin's Creed to the big screen and mainstream audiences. Michael Fassbender is not only the star of the video game adaptation — taking on a dual role in the process — but also the film's producer. The project, by far the biggest ever for his production company, DMC Film, would need to bridge the gap between the hopeful fans of the games and the casual Friday night moviegoers.
"[The series' developer] Ubisoft always said that they wanted me to make sure I saw this as a feature film first," says director Justin Kurzel (Macbeth). "We want to offer fans something new and fresh as a film and not an appropriation of the game."
That meant boiling down Assassin's Creed to its core elements. For Fassbender and company, the most obvious game mechanics to transplant were the warring factions of the Assassins and Templars, the all-powerful series McGuffins, the Apple of Eden, and the concept of genetic memory. In the video games, the main present-day character lies down on a high-tech table called the Animus that sends their consciousness back in time to one of their ancestors.
There's one big problem with that, however. In terms of cinematic dynamism, the Animus has the on-screen presence of a sofa, so that became a problem to solve for the crew. "Then the question is, how do we take something like the Animus, which is pretty inert for the descendant in the present, to be just sitting in a chair and experiencing the regression," Fassbender says. "We wanted to find something that was more interactive, more physically involved."
The production design team came up with a few different options for what a more movie-friendly Animus looked like, including one iteration where the subject was suspended in fluid, almost like returning to the womb. But came the version we see on screen: the Animus arm, a rig that allows the subject a full range of motion to mime the actions of his or her ancestor.
"It's nice when you get that cross-pollination going on," Fassbender says. "The guys at Ubisoft love it, and they're actually — I believe — going to use it in future games."
Assassin's Creed arrives in theaters on Wednesday. You can see Fassbender enter the Animus in the clip above.

My account has just been activated and I was wondering to buy another domain which is regional to my location, specifically .co.uk. I just wondered where should I look to buy it though, I found 123-reg have quite nice prices and they seemed to promise everything that may be needed to change the dns server names.
So, I would relly appreciate if someone could explain to me the procedure of making my .co.uk domain the primary and the .com as its redirect. .com has been bought with the hosting package here at dreamhost and I was thinking of using 123-reg for the .co.uk.
Would it be possible to make this .co.uk primary domain with the 123-reg, that would use the hosting from dreamhost and the .com domain redirects its visitors to this .co.uk domain as well?
I think I am repeating myself or probably going in circles hehe.
For your .co.uk, choose fully hosted.
How should I go for the webmail for the .co.uk domain as I want to use it as the primary webmail account as well. I mean if someone send an email to my .co.uk domain, what would I need to do to get it and also would it be possible that emails sent to my .com domain could be redirected to my .co.uk corresponding email account?
for example if someone mistakenly send an email to info@domain.com or admin@domain.com and so on, I want this email to be forwarded to my info@domain.co.uk or admin@domain.co.uk and so on, so that I could manage them.

And here's the difference: The Masses think like a Consumer. The Rich think like a Wealth Builder.
A Consumer thinks: I want more money so I can buy more clothes, take more trips, eat out more often, and have more fun.
The Wealth Builder thinks: I want more money to save and invest for the long term so that I can have more freedom, more choices, more fun, and more opportunities to give back.
Do you know what separates these two mind-sets? Instant gratification.
It's the difference between snapping up those Prada shoes—which you simply must have because they go perfectly with that Juicy Couture dress you just bought—or depositing that same sum straight into a savings account, or better yet, a mutual fund.
I'm not suggesting self-deprivation. There's a world of difference between denial and discipline.
True, the discipline of saving may require delayed gratification. But think of it this way—you're giving the money to YOU (not Visa or Starbucks) so that ultimately you can purchase what you please without pressure or worry.
What about you? Do you think like a Consumer or Wealth Builder?
I am still thinking like a consumer, working toward wealth builder thinking sometimes it's hard when you feel like you never have enough money to enjoy life because it's all going to bills and living expenses.
I know that's a mindset it's just getting over the hurdle that's the largest challenge for me.
Although it's more calculated and I now track it, I still blow through large sums of money .
Here's the question for you…if you track your spending (Very Good) and you see you're blowing through large sums, why don't you stop 'blowing through' and start saving some of that large sum????
Seriously, Barbara, this is absolutely speaking to me today! Just got my bonus and I am on the hunt to buy, buy, buy.! I would definitely say I'm more in the consumer role. I want to be a Wealth Builder but I am having a hard time with the denial versus discipline. I feel like I'm denying myself from the stuff I want. I'm working to get to the place where my ultimate goal, freedom, is more important than new clothes or a new bag.
Laura McCann ~ so powerful what you said, "I'm working to get to the place where my ultimate goal, freedom, is more important than new clothes or a new bag." You go, girl!
I hear your frustration, Ann. You're not alone. My advice…just start putting tiny amounts in savings…and do it automatically, so you don't have to think about it. Fill out a form online at your bank, instructing them to transfer, say $25 a month from checking into savings. You'd be amazed how small amounts add up!!!
omg, this is so true.
I am a wealth builder! No question about it.
But all too often I see and work with folks who are more interested in the external trappings of rich, rather than that luxurious, comforting feeling you get when you build wealth that will support you for the long term.
I don't know what happened, Debbie…but my response to you ended up under Sarah's comment. Oooops.
So much this!!!!! Me too!!
Thank you for sharing it on FB Debbie. Isn't it great to be a Wealth Builder? Proud of you!
Such a provocative question, Sarah. My feeling is the magical step is doing the inner work, rewiring the old neuropathways, transforming the way you see yourself (from a survivor to thrivor)….it means going deep. I talk about all of this in my books…except the rewiring part…which is what my next book is about: mind training for wealth building. Big hugs to you!!!
I am coming from a consumer mind-set. I feel like i don't earn much and that is one of the reasons i find it hard to even put it aside.
Barbara, I have been receiving your emails for years now, and find every single one inspirational and thought provoking. I have always been a wealth builder. My husband says I must have put money from the tooth fairy into an IRA. AND, you are absolutely right about the mindset. I don't remember any of the shoes or dresses or makeup I was tempted to buy over the years, but didn't. I buy classic clothing that will last for years – and I still get compliments. Do I like a bit of bling? Of course – but I choose selectively. Saving to build wealth has enabled me to build my own business to help women as well.
Keep up the GREAT WORK Barbara.
Oh Carrie, I love your comment for so many reasons. I appreciate your kind words…a lot! I love your enthusiasm. And you are such a wonderful role model to other women. Thank you so much for this wonderful post!!!!

Q: Angular2 Webpack Summernote not binding to Bootstrap I have jquery configured  using the webpack.ProviderPlugin like so
plugins: [
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
  jQuery: 'jquery',
  $: 'jquery',
  jquery: 'jquery'
})

]
And summernote imported after bootstrap in my vendor.js like so
import 'bootstrap';
import 'summernote';

When I create a summernote control in my component, the dropdown buttons in the toolbar don't work, the tooltips over the buttons don't display, and in general nothing is bound to the bootstrap js correctly. The only places I have seen people with this problem online they say it is because of multiple versions of jquery running, but I'm fairly sure I only have jquery loaded once.
Any ideas?


More exciting news: This weekend I'll be hosting a new discussion on the argument from Hiddenness, this time featuring a new panel of theists and atheists. I'm pretty excited about this one. Each participant is well-versed in this area, discussing hiddenness with this group should be pretty meaty. We go live right at 11am CST this Saturday, February 11, 2017. Check the link below.

Uprok Records is steadily building a reputation for putting out dope product. With past releases from the Tunnel Rats, Mars Ill, and Deepspace 5 already setting a very high standard and scoring very highly in altrap.com reviews, it's now the turn of Dallas duo Ill Harmonics to fly the flag. The duo, Blake Knight and Playdough, made their Uprok debut a couple of years ago with "An Octave Above The Original", and followed it up with two major tours and an appearance on the "Extreme Days" movie soundtrack.
"Take Two" the album begins with 'Take Two' the song – an instantly addictive cut that features a funky jazz guitar, and some well placed samples from James Brown, and De La's 'Ego Trip'.A great way to start the album, sucking the listener in and leaving them wanting more. And more, of course, is provided with the next couple of cuts 'The Crowd Is Standing' and 'San Jose'. Both tracks are built around smooth guitar licks, with the latter also injecting the latin flavour that its title deserves, and meshing it with a notable ascending / descending bassline. Very summery indeed.
It's not ALL about the guitars however – cuts like 'Bowtie Jerks', 'Must Be Crazy' and 'Mr. Chris T. Ian' all leave the guitar loops to the side, in favour of simple, heavy beats. 'Bowtie Jerks' is a fun, slow paced head nodder, which owes no small debt to the Pharcyde's 'Passin' Me By'. 'Must Be Crazy' and 'Mr. Chris T. Ian' however, are two examples where Ill Harmonics show that they're about more than just displaying sharp punchlines. 'Must Be Crazy' features Blake and Playdough speak in simple terms of their feelings on Hiphop, and what sacrifices they have had to make to continue to make this music they love. 'Mr. Chris T. Ian' (Mr. Christian – geddit?) is an attack on those who claim to be Christian, but in reality don't practice a Christian way of life, instead sacrificing their morals and integrity to make a quick buck, or in their attempts to be "down". As with other members of the Uprok roster, Ill Harmonics are practicing Christians, and like their label mates, they manage to inject their upbringing into their music without making the listener feel like its being forced onto them.
As the album continues, it becomes evident that the with the exception of the three tracks mentioned above, the remainder of the album is dominated by tracks which are built around funky guitar loops. This is no bad thing however, and there's certainly enough variety in the grooves to ensure that things don't sound too similar. The acoustic Spanish guitar featured on 'San Jose' crops up again on 'Backside Of The Sun', 'Destiny' and 'Cats Like These' – the latter cut in particular stands out, as the upbeat drums mesh with the guitar perfectly to create a extremely bouncy little number.
For me though, the best cuts on the album were 'What We Do' and 'Gypsy Kind' – two joints that illustrate perfectly what Ill Harmonics are all about. 'What We Do' is a lot more "bare bones", featuring little more than a sparse electric guitar arrangement, and the two emcees in "blaze-the-mic" mode. 'Gypsy Kind' is a fantastic story-telling "ode to a woman" joint, which utilises the acoustic guitar again to stunning effect.
Throughout this joint, the beats are on point. The emcees are competent – there's no doubt they have some nice writing skills, although I feel that sometimes their delivery could be a little sharper. Overall though, Ill Harmonics and Uprok Records have to get another thumbs up – this certainly has major replay value.

Q: how to make the scale of a plot fixed in Shiny I made two codes to run in Shiny/R but when I run them and change the parameters for growth and cost by sliding the bars, visually the graph does not seem to change. It does change because the numbers on the axis change instead but I would rather keep the numbers (scale of the graph) fixed and let the graph line move. Anybody could help me on making the scale of the graph fixed?
Thank you kindly.
library(shiny)

ui <- fluidPage(titlePanel("Kost vrijwillige oppashulp"),

  sidebarLayout(
    sidebarPanel(
      helpText("Kies een waarde voor de groei"),
      sliderInput(
        "growth",
        "groei:",
        min = 0.01,
        max = 1,
        value = 0.025,
        step = 0.005
      ),
      helpText("Kies een waarde voor de kostprijs"),
      sliderInput(
        "price",
        "kostprijs:",
        min = 1,
        max = 3,
        value = 1.85,
        step = 0.05
      )

    ),
    mainPanel(plotOutput("graph"))
  ))

server <- function(input, output) {
  output$graph <- renderPlot({
    year <- 2016:2025
    growth <- 0.025
    price <- 1.85
    costcentra <- 33523.25
    totalhours <- c(1119784, rep(NA, 9))
    for (i in 1:9) {
      totalhours[i + 1] <- totalhours[i] + totalhours[i] * input$growth
    }
    cost <- totalhours * input$price
    centraOH <- c(53, rep(NA, 9))
    for (i in 1:9) {
      centraOH[i + 1] <- centraOH[i] + 2
    }
    totalcostcentra <- centraOH * costcentra
    totalcostOH <- cost + totalcostcentra
    plot(year,
      cost,
      type = "l",
      col = "red",
      lwd = 2)

    # Create a title with a red, bold/italic font
    title(main = "Cost of volunteer help",
      col.main = "blue",
      font.main = 4)

    # title(xlab="Year", col.lab=rgb(0,0.5,0))
    # title(ylab="Cost", col.lab=rgb(0,0.5,0))
  })
}

# Run the application
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

A: You can specify axis limits with:
    plot(year, cost, type="l", col="red", lwd=2,ylim=c(1000000,5000000))

The axis limits will now always stay the same. However, this means your plot will not always fit within the plot window. Alternatively, you could do something like:
    plot(year, cost, type="l", col="red", lwd=2,ylim=c(1000000,max(5000000, max(cost))))

so that the limits will be between 1 and 5 million, unless the maximum value exceeds 5 million, in which case the y axis will adapt. Hope this helps.

After a week off, Rizzo Music continues with the 2 week tradition of "Song Of The Week". This week we examine a classic, "Sleepwalker" by The Wallflowers. This gem is a single off of their third studio album, Breach. This was the last single from the Wallflowers to break into the top 40 on either the Mainstream or Modern Rock Chart.
That's it for this week. Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed if you want to be updated when new articles are posted.
I kind of feel like the Wallflowers didn't get all the respect that they deserved exactly.
They had some pretty great songs, although the problem being back in the day you had to actually buy the album to hear them all.
