Q: CakePHP 2.X limits uploads to 20 entries I've setup a file upload form that lets users drop files onto the page and then the user can add these images. You can put 1 or 50 images, it doesn't matter. Well, that's what I thought it didn't. For some very strange reason CakePHP is limiting the post data array to 20 entries no matter what I set as post max sizes and upload max filesizes in PHP.ini to(currently they are ~500MB). The files I try uploading are .PNG-files and accumulate maybe 1 to 2 MB at most. CakePHP version is 2.4.2 and PHP on this box is 5.3.13.
For the sake of explanation, here are some screenshots of the thing in action:

The image may be a bit hard to read, but it says there are 43 files selected here and total upload size is 600 KB. Way under the limit of 500 MB I have in my PHP.ini. (Page uses Javascript technology described here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Using_files_from_web_applications.)

That's only 20 files, not the 43 I initially selected. There is no size limiting in the HTML files or the Controller that's handling the uploads. Uploading any number of files up to 20 is fine, but that's where it draws the line. I've also tried disabling the javascript that handles some of the page niftyness just to make sure that didn't fuck stuff up - no change. What's going on?

Long before there was Beyoncé's Beyhive, or One Direction's Directioners, there were Deadheads, a group of fans so loyal and (it's fair to say) obsessed with the Grateful Dead that they followed the psychedelic rock band across the country on tour, town after town, concert after concert.
Now keyboardist Jeff Chimenti has joined a creative team hoping to wrangle that passion and draw fans to the Minetta Lane Theatre, where an Off-Broadway production of a new Grateful Dead musical, "Red Roses, Green Gold," opens on Oct. 29. The musical — a comedy about a family of swindlers in the 1920s — features songs written by Dead band members Jerry Garcia (before his death in 1995) and Robert Hunter, with additional music by the Dead's Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir and drummer Greg Anton. The book is by Michael Norman Mann.
Chimenti, a San Francisco native who serves as musical supervisor and arranger, has performed with former Dead members since 1997 in the bands RatDog, The Dead, Further and Dead & Company.
Grateful . . . Dead . . . musical. One of those words seems out of place. So how did producers first pitch this idea to get you interested?
They said they were looking for someone to give guidance and keep the Grateful Dead music authentic. This isn't trying to be a Grateful Dead cover band. There's a story here. It's my job to make sure the music is represented as properly as possible.
So the songs won't be performed the way they are in concert — the performers sing in character.
Exactly. Some songs are shortened, to go along with the story. The bulk of the material comes from the studio records "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty," albums that came early in the Grateful Dead's career.
Fans have a reason to see this — but what about folks who aren't familiar with the Dead songbook?
That's the hope — to get both worlds. Fans will come to hear their favorite songs. They just have to understand it's not going to be like a Grateful Dead concert. As for those who aren't fans . . . well, it's beautiful and diverse music. These are cool songs and I think newcomers will appreciate that.
Why IS the Grateful Dead fan base so strong? There are any number of bands from that era, like The Beatles and the Doors, with mighty followings, but there's something . . . I'm not quite sure what the right word is . . . there's something different about Dead fans.
I know exactly what you're saying, and it is hard to describe. The way the band members paved their career was incredible. They did everything opposite of the industry standard. And there's something in their material — they tapped into Americana, and they've connected with people of all walks of life.
Do fans still follow you on tour?
Oh, we've got people who'll do the whole tour with ya. You'll see them every show. People come from all over the world — Europe, Japan, Australia. They're coming long distances to see these shows. It's pretty magical. I've never seen anything like it — ever.
Were you a Deadhead growing up?
I've been involved with the guys for 20 years, starting with Bob Weir's RatDog. But . . . myself . . . I didn't know Grateful Dead songs — not one — coming into it.
I was more in the jazz world. I had no idea. But once jumping into it, I was like . . . "Wow, how did I miss this?" There are so many songs, and they're so diverse. And to be onstage and share it with the actual guys — that's been a blessing for me. But, no, I didn't come from that world. It's definitely been a learning curve. I'm still learning.
Once the show opens, what's next for you?
One last thing — how's it been straddling the music and theater worlds?
I'm blown away by the talent it takes in theater. The performers have to learn the music and dialogue — then the story gets changed the next day and they have to relearn it all. I guess the way they sometimes improvise . . . it's like how musicians riff. But the big difference is how organized the theater world is. Like with the schedule — if they say, "Here's the start time," or "This is when we'll take a break," then that's the start time, that's the break. In music . . . well . . . . [He laughs.] There's a potential start time, but who knows when the concert's gonna start.

Racism follows Referendum result
Since the EU referendum results in June racist attacks have increased dramatically. A growing number of racist confrontations have been reported across the country, not only on social media but there have been many cases of verbal assaults, discriminatory vandalism in public places and physical attacks. An 11-year-old girl was racially abused in Southwater Country Park near Horsham by a group of teenage boys just one day after the results of the referendum. Coincidence? I think not. You just need to search Facebook or Google to see the extent of this abuse.
What is clearly the worrying factor about the rapid outburst of racism is that it is happening in broad daylight where anyone who 'doesn't sound or look English' is being told to 'go home'. Police and local community leaders are appealing for calm in the wake of the leave vote and the Archbishop of Canterbury has spoken out against 'unacceptable' parts of the EU referendum campaign that encouraged racism and 'poison.' Many argue that Brexit has given racism a voice as many members of the Remain movement claim that the Leave campaign was rooted in hate and xenophobia. An example of this alleged racism is Nigel Farage's anti-migrant poster that showed a queue of mostly non-white refugees and stated in big capital letters 'Breaking point: the EU has failed us all. We must break free of the EU and take back control of our borders.' No matter what side of the EU debate you are on, this image clearly provokes racial hatred. Many social media users quickly made the comparison between Farage's poster and Nazi propaganda footage of the 1930s. MPs from many parties also commented on the image calling it ' utterly disgusting' and 'immoral.'
The two main issues at the top of voters' and politicians' agenda during the run up to the EU referendum were the economy and immigration. Green MP Caroline Lucas argues that migration is a 'two–way street' that we have the freedom to live, learn, study and work in 26 other countries if we stayed in the EU. She also argues that the people coming into our country are bringing benefits to not only our society and culture but also to our economy. In addition to this she publicly spoke out about many of the problems that people have with immigration as she argued that the 'biggest suppressor of wages has been a global financial crash; services are under pressure predominantly because of vicious Government cutbacks.' She also adds how the people not born here are scapegoats for the problems caused by our successive governments. What sort of world is it where the poorest blame other poor people for their hardships?
A large majority of people are worried about what will happen next as this country is entering an uncertain and sensitive time. But one thing that does need to change is the powerful and violent wave of racism. Hatred is never the solution, and within an already divided country, people need to put aside their differences and embrace the value of diversity and welcome those in need.

Fight or flight. As perfectionists, we almost always choose flight. We avoid. We run away. We escape because it iseasier than facing the risk of rejection, abandonment, and failure.
Fear is essential to our lives. Without it, we would be deprived of our basic needs. Fear is biologically ingrained in all of us. It protects us by giving us an adrenaline response in dangerous situations, allowing us to survive.


A variety of features are observed when sand is supplied steadily on a rough unconfined slope. Over a range of intermediate slope angles, a densely packed layer of finite width and critically shallow depth develops and flows downstream. Isolated avalanches form periodically for input fluxes below a sufficiently small value. The experimental results will be presented and explained by theoretical ideas.

Net profit up 15.1% to €114.7 million
Ebro's net turnover grew by 7.2% year on year to €2,035.2 million, boosted by the excellent performance of our brands.
The group's EBITDA, or gross operating profit, rose 13% to €236.8 million. Quarter on quarter, it recovered its 2017 level, rising 31% to €77.5 million.
The contribution by Alimentation Santé in the first nine months of 2019 has been stripped out of these sales and EBITDA figures, being accounted for as discontinued operations.
Net profit grew by 15.1% to €114.7 million.
Net debt rose to €1,041 million, €321 million more than in the same period of last year, mainly due to:
The acquisition of Tilda, for US$342 million
Heavy investment in CAPEX, standing at €107 million at 30 September and estimated at €158 million for year-end
Application of IFRS 16, changing the accounting of lease agreements and obliging us to capitalise €90 million.
It should be remembered that this debt includes the accounting of Puts held with minority interests in certain businesses, valued at €161 million.
The US rice harvest was 20% smaller than last year owing to heavy rainfall in the spring. A good harvest is forecast in Europe, except for Andalusia, where it may be 15% smaller due to salinity.
The most important event in this division during the quarter was the acquisition of Tilda, a global premium brand of basmati rice present in over 50 countries and very significant in the UK, Middle East, North America and India.
Profitability in the North American business is back on track thanks to the restructuring measures taken to recover profitability in Freeport and Memphis.
In Europe, with a flat market, our brands are performing well, especially in Spain, France and the UK. The performance of our subsidiary in Thailand is also very satisfactory this year.
Division turnover was €1,134.4 million and its EBITDA €139.8 million.
Durum wheat harvests were poor in all growing areas except Spain and France, pushing prices up sharply. The Group is hedged in this respect up to the second half of 2020.
As regards the development of business in Europe, the policy of cutting back on promotions in favour of profitability for both the brand and distributors is producing very satisfactory results in Panzani. Garofalo is continuing to make very positive progress in Spain and France, and in fresh pasta, Bertagni and Lustucru are having a good year, with strong growth.
Development of the North American business has been uneven, with good results in Canada, where the Health and Wellness products have performed well, and a less positive evolution in the USA, aggravated by the difficulties encountered at our new north-east distribution centre, which have now been solved.
Division turnover was €948.8 million and its EBITDA €107 million. These figures no longer include the Alimentation Santé business.
Year-end outlook
Ebro expects a FY turnover of €2,784.6 million for 2019, up 6.5% on 2018. EBITDA is forecast at €340.6 million, 11% more than last year, while the net profit is predicted to reach €159 million, a year-on-year growth of 12.4%. Net debt is expected to stand at €1,015 million at year-end, slightly less than 3xEBITDA.
2019: a satisfactory year
The consolidated results of the first nine months and the year-end estimates reflect, on the one hand, the Group's diligence in solving the difficulties encountered by its North American business in 2018 and, on the other hand, the strength of our brands, which have reinforced their leadership and positioning in a highly competitive environment.
2019 will also go down as an intensive year in organic and inorganic growth with the acquisition of Tilda, a premium business that strongly complements our Group's business, and the investments made to optimise distribution in France, the new La Rinconada plant in Seville, the new pan-fried gnocchi lines in Canada and enlargement of the microwave cup plant in Memphis.
It is a year in which we have also built up the healthy and organic categories of our principal brands and concentrated our efforts and resources in the premium, fresh and convenience segments, pulling out of Alimentation Santé, an organic business directed at a specialised channel

PORTSMOUTH � Deer Street Associates appears to be moving toward getting approval from the Historic District Commission for its plan to build a five-story mixed-use development at the intersection of Maplewood Avenue and Deer Street.
DSA�s proposal, which is being built on what it refers to as Lot 5 at 161 Deer St., includes commercial/retail space on the ground floor with office space on the second floor.
The upper floors will include 45 residences and five workforce housing units.
The HDC scheduled the project for a public hearing at its July 11 meeting, where the project could also received HDC approval.
But he noted that several members, including HDC Chair Vince Lombardi, were not at the meeting.
The updated plans that Tracy Kozak of JSA Architecture, who represents Deer Street Associates, presented to the HDC, received generally favorable reviews at last week�s HDC meeting.
The five-story DSA project at the corner of Maplewood Avenue and Deer Street is one of four projects that are being designed as part of a public/private partnership with the city of Portsmouth.
The mixed-use projects are being built around or near the city�s new Foundry Place municipal parking garage, which is scheduled to open in October.
Commissioner Martin Ryan told developers during last week�s meeting that he supports the �height and mass� of the development.
�I think it�s terrific for this location,� Ryan said.
Commissioner Dan Rawling praised the architects for making changes to the project.
�I liked what I saw in the detailing of it,� he said.
Other changes the architects made gave �the elevation � a much friendly feel to it,� he said.
Commissioner Jon Wyckoff, who served as the acting chair at last week�s meeting, said he�s �pretty much in agreement with� the updated plans.
�It�s going to be a very quality building,� he said.
Commissioner Reagan Ruedig credited the developers for what she described as �a lot of improvements� to the project.
�I do think it looks a lot less institutional, which is a good thing,� she said.
If the HDC approves the project in July, it will represent an important run of approvals received for DSA�s four projects, which will undoubtedly transform the city�s North End when they�re all built out.
Cracknell agreed that �dramatic would be an understatement� about how the developments will change the North End.
�I�m not saying it�s bad, I�m just saying it�s big,� Cracknell said.
DSA received site plan approval from the Planning Board in February for its five-story hotel at 165 Deer St., which will include a rooftop restaurant and bar.
The hotel is being built on Lot 3.
Kozak said the building will include about 104,000 square feet of space, with parking on the first floor. There will be a total of 28 hotel rooms on the second, third and fourth floors, with the restaurant and bar on the rooftop, which will include a 4,000-square-foot deck.
The development will feature 111 parking spaces where 92 are required, including 78 on the first floor and 33 in the city�s Foundry Place Garage, she said.
In February, DSA also received approval from the HDC for its plan to demolish the existing Eastern Bank building at 163 Deer St. and replace it with a four-story commercial/office building with a restaurant on the first floor.
That project, which is being built on Lot 4, still needs Planning Board site approval, as does the one on Lot 5, Cracknell said.
The Planning Board in November unanimously approved DSA�s 43-apartment project at 181 Hill St. called The Residences at Foundry Place. That project will be built on Lot 6.
The four-story building with a penthouse on top, includes retail on the first floor, apartments and penthouses on the upper floors and parking underneath.
Neither the hotel nor the Residences at Foundry Place need HDC approval because the properties aren�t located in the city�s historic district, which mean the projects can move forward.

this is awesome! Any chance of a shaker hood version? Also, where are the side mirrors? Thanks!
What kind of glue should I use to put the separate parts together?
Hello, and thanks! I was also thinking about using Epoxy, how would that work?
It will work, just make sure you sand the surface to be glued with a rough sand paper to give it a better adhesion profile (I am not sure if those are the right terms, but my point is to make the surface rough so if has more surface for the epoxy to hold on to), that is what I use to use before trying CA gel glue, it worked good, I just didn't like the waiting time.
Would it be possible for you to post STEP files of this body? I am working on my own OpenZ chassis and would like to make it compatible with the body.
Thank you for sharing this. It's the nicest body I have seen shared for 1:28 scale.
Do you think it can be adapted to mini z?
I'm definetly following the project, I belive it's gonna be a success. 1:28 it's faster to print and cheaper than 1:10 scale.
A shame you don't have a mini-z. Making some parts compatible (like rims, or bodies) will in my opinion increase the popularity of the project.
The chinese mini-z, called mini-q, does it for example (bodies and rims are compatible with mini-z).
Amazing, amazing, amazing, I want to make mine!
Is the assembly manual not yet available? I tried to see that on the website.
and on the fusion links you can use the explosion bottom (below at center, the icon looks like a cube with its faces separated) to see how the model fits together.

Q: language overrides explanation say i want to change my language of gift options to gift message.
i have a translate.csv file in my package/theme/locale/
it doesnt overwrite it.
so i found the language file in app/locale/Mage_giftmessage.csv
but isnt this a core file? I just need some clarification.
some translations work from my translate.csv and some dont. why is that?
will a change to the app/locale/* files get overwritten on an update or are they also override files? if they do get overwritten how do i override these files properly?
thanks!

A: By default, Magento comes with translation files for language en_US, which means, that you have to download separately the translations for other languages. This means, that your translations (other than en_US) won't be overwritten unless you overwrite them manually.
You can also specify your own translation csv in your module's config.xml something like this:
<adminhtml>
    <translate>
        <modules>
            <Your_Module>
                <files>
                    <default>Your_Translation.csv</default>
                </files>
            </Your_Module>
        </modules>
    </translate>
</adminhtml>

Then just create Your_Translation.csv in /app/locale/[language code]/. And then you will be able to use it like:
Mage::helper("your_module_helper")->__("some text to translate")


When you apply for a loan, how is your application processed? In some cases, such as applying for a loan from your bank, it may as simple as going to the bank, giving brief information about why you need a loan, signing a loan contract and getting a check immediately. Other banks use loan committees – a group of bank employees who decide which applications to approve. Still others use sophisticated, complex computer analysis to evaluate applications.
Many creditors use credit scoring, in which point values are assigned to various credit characteristics. Those who get enough "points" get credit. Credit scoring can vary in complexity, according to the creditor's policy.
Most credit-scoring systems are more complicated than our example, with ten to thirty or more pieces of data to be analyzed for each applicant. With a more complex scoring system, a clerk enters information from both the credit application and the credit report onto a computer system, and the system evaluates it and produces an acceptance or rejection letter. Smaller creditors using simpler credit scoring have loans evaluated by a loan officer who makes the decision.
If a lender's credit experience shows that people in a certain age group have a better record of paying their bills than people of other ages, the lender may – legally – give a higher score to the better-paying age group.
If your address is a post office box, you may find yourself turned down for credit. Also, to fight fraud, some creditors screen out applicants whose addresses indicate commercial offices, mail drops, or prisons. Since post office boxes or rural delivery boxes are commonplace in rural areas, however, a lender may issue a card to that address while rejecting applicants with a P.O. Box in a large city.
An authorized user is someone who has permission to use a credit card but is not legally liable for the bills. If you are an authorized user on someone's account, the payment history will likely be reported in your credit file, but you will not be able to rely on it to help you build your own credit rating. Usually, it will neither help you nor hurt you when you apply for a loan.
One of the best things you can have on a credit report is a bankcard-a Visa, MasterCard or Discover card that has been paid on time over a period. In a scoring system, a good bankcard reference usually carries more weight than a department store card or American Express card. Department store charge cards have lower credit limits and if used will typically have a higher debt to limit ratio, which has a negative impact on credit scores. In addition, American Express is a charge card. As such users must pay in full, the amount due when the monthly statement arrives. There is no minimum payment, interest rate, or spending limit, and while American Express reports the high balance to credit bureaus, it doesn't impact FICO credit scores.
Most lenders automatically reject anyone whose application or credit file indicates a bankruptcy. Chapter 13 in which (a debt reorganization plan under which all debts are eventually repaid) stays on credit reports until the debt is repaid plus an additional seven years. Chapter 7 (straight bankruptcy and partial or full liquidation of debts) remains on your credit files for ten years. Few creditors, however, draw any distinction between the two types, so you don't get any "credit" for having repaid your bills using Chapter 13.
Charge-offs, also called profit-and-loss accounts, are accounts that have been written off lenders' books as "uncollectible." If a charge-off account is not due to bankruptcy, the lender will usually turn it over to a collection agency, which will then attempt to collect. It then becomes a "collection account" (discussed below) for reporting purposes. Charge-off or collection accounts on a credit report are extremely negative.
You may be surprised to find you are turned down for a loan because you have too much credit available. Accounts you no longer use, or have paid off, can count against you if they are listed as "open" on a credit report.
The act of paying off a revolving account does not, in itself, result in it's being "closed" in the eyes of lenders. Further, some creditors do not report to credit bureaus the fact that accounts are closed.
Tip: If a closed account appears on your credit report as open, dispute the entry with the credit bureau. The Fair Reporting Act gives consumers the right to dispute any information in their credit file they believe inaccurate or incomplete. Explain to the credit bureau that you would like the report to reflect the account as closed. It is also a good idea to send a certified letter to the creditor requesting that the entry is corrected with all the credit bureaus to which it has been reported.
Tip: Every time you close an account, ask the creditor to report it as "closed by consumer" to all Credit Bureaus to which the account has previously been reported. Make this request in writing, and ask for written confirmation that it has been done. If you have trouble getting confirmation from customer service representatives, ask to speak with a credit manager. Be sure to comply with the lender's procedures for closing the account, such as returning credit cards or unused credit line checks. Your cardholder agreement will have those instructions.
Lenders generally give more "points" to applicants who have been at the same job for two years or more.
Collection accounts are those that have been sent to collections by the creditor – either to the creditor's own collection department or an outside agency. Profit-and-loss accounts (also called charge-offs) are those the creditor decided could not be collected, and that were written off as a loss. Once a charge-off is sent to a collection agency or department, it turns into a collection account for reporting purposes. Collection accounts and profit-and-loss accounts are negative marks on credit reports.
Collection accounts can legally remain on a report for seven years. They are reported to credit bureaus beginning on the date the collection agency received them from the creditor. Charge-offs (also called profit-and-loss accounts) are reported from the date they were charged off – the date the creditor decided the account was too far past due to get payment through normal channels and decided to close the account. Charged-off accounts are usually sent to a collection agency or the creditor's own collection department.
Bear in mind that cosigning a loan bears all the financial and legal consequences of taking out the loan yourself. When you cosign, you are signing a contract that makes you responsible for the entire debt. If the other cosigner does not pay or makes late payments, it will probably show up on your credit record. If the person for whom you cosigned does not pay the loan, the collection company will be entitled to try to collect from you.
Tip: If someone asks you to cosign a loan, suggest other alternatives such as a secured credit card by which they can build a credit history. If you are asked to cosign for someone whose income is not high enough to qualify for a loan, you are actually doing them a favor by refusing-they will be less likely to be overwhelmed by too-high debts. At any rate, consult with your lawyer before cosigning, since state laws regarding a cosigner's liability vary.
Credit reports are records of consumers' bill-paying habits collected, stored and sold by credit bureaus. Credit reports are also called credit records, credit files, and credit histories.
Some creditors look at your debt/income ratio how much you pay out each month compared to how much income you earn to determine whether you qualify for additional credit.
To find your debt/income ratio, total up your monthly payments on all bills. Do not include mortgage, utilities, doctor bills or other accounts that do not appear on your credit report: The creditor will not look at these. Then, divide your total payments by your monthly gross (before tax) income. What results is your debt to income ratio. If it is less than 28 percent, you should have no trouble getting a loan. If it falls between 28 and 35 percent, you have what is considered high debt, and you may find it difficult to obtain some loans.
This summary provides general guidelines. Some large card issuers will accept debt ratios as high as 40-45 percent. Others compare your net (after-tax) income to your debts to determine your debt ratio.
Tip: If you keep your debt ratio below 28 percent, you can consider yourself successful at managing your debt and maintaining a good credit rating.
Department store cards do not provide as strong a reference on credit reports as bankcards. Not only are they easier to obtain, but the credit limits are low, and the "high credit" (the most you have ever charged) are low. Furthermore, you can use them only at the issuing store. Nevertheless, a timely paid department store card can help you develop a good credit history.
Joint: You and someone else – often a spouse – are both legally liable. A joint account is equal to an individual account for building your credit history.
There is a difference between "captive" finance tradelines and "regular" finance trade-lines. Captive finance tradelines are offered through auto financing sources such as GMAC or Ford Credit and are generally not considered negative.
"Application fraud" is when a thief uses your credit information to apply for credit in your name. Wrongdoers use your name, Social Security number, address and, perhaps, credit references to apply for credit. They can get much of this information from public sources (e.g., Who's Who Directories), from someone who has access to credit files (e.g., employees of car dealerships, department stores, or credit bureaus), from personal checks, or from stolen wallets. Credit thieves may be aided by "credit doctors" who are paid hundreds of dollars for finding a good credit record for the thief to use.
You won't find out about application fraud until months after it occurs-usually only after you get dunning notices from collection agencies, or when you get a copy of your credit report and see the debts run up by the thief.
Some banks may approve loans for incomes as low as $10,000 per year. Others require higher income for some loans. Some banks will divide your income by the number of your dependents to determine your "income per dependent." If so, the application will ask how many dependents you have.
Inquiries, which appear at the end of your credit report, tell you who has seen it recently. They are very important when you apply for credit. Lenders almost always look at how many inquiries you have when evaluating your application. Consumers with "too many inquiries" are often turned down, due to a concern that they are applying for too much credit at one time, that they are on a spending spree, or that there is potential fraud.
Generally, a bankcard issuer wants no more than six inquiries in the past six months on an applicant's file. However, there is no set number for excessive inquiries, and every lender sets its own policy.
Tip: Auto dealers often look at customers' credit files without their knowledge or permission. If you go to a dealership to test drive a car, the salesperson will often pull up your credit file, and use the information in deciding how to "sell" you. It is important to tell the salesperson that you do not want your credit file accessed unless you give permission.
Some credit bureaus list inquiries by code, rather than by the name of the company. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that a credit bureau explains all information on your report that you do not understand, so request names for all the coded companies listed under the inquiries section.
If an inquiry is coded "PRM" or "PSC," or has the word "promotional" next to it, then a lender has paid the credit bureau to screen suitable prospects for a "pre-approved" mailing. The lender supplies the bureau with a list of names and addresses and a set of credit criteria and asks the bureau to determine which candidates meet their criteria. The lender then receives from the credit bureau a list of the names that meet the qualifications, and those consumers receive a "pre-screened" or "pre-approved" credit offer.
Inquiries noted as "csmr" or "consumer" indicate you have seen your own credit file.
Joint accounts are those in which two or more people-usually spouses or members of a family have equal responsibility for paying the bills. A joint account helps each person on the account build a credit history, but also has its pitfalls. If one person on a joint account does not pay the bills on time (and that payment history is reported to a credit bureau), the other party will likely find his or her credit history damaged.
If any joint accounts remain open during or after the divorce and one spouse runs up bills and doesn't pay them, both spouses' credit histories will be harmed, since both are legally liable under the credit contract (spelled out in the card agreement or other papers). In addition, creditors have the right to try to collect from either spouse.
Recent late payments – within the past six months or one year – are especially damaging to your credit record. Just one payment more than thirty days late in the past year can hurt your chances of getting credit. Late payments on bankcard accounts are usually the most damaging since bankcards are such an important reference.
There's one exception: If you are near your credit limits on most or all of your accounts, you may be considered a poor credit risk whether or not you pay on time. See the section on "Credit Limits for further discussion.
Bankcard issuers generally want to see at least a year's worth of timely payments on other accounts before issuing a card.
Tip: One of the main reasons people in the military cannot get credit cards is the fraud associated with APO boxes. If you are in the military, live overseas, and are applying for a credit card, list your stateside address, your parents' address, or a P.O. box, instead of an APO.
Most mortgages that are 90 days or more delinquent must now be reported to credit bureaus. Some mortgage companies elect to report all mortgages to credit bureaus. This policy is a plus for homeowners since a mortgage can be a sign of stability to a lender.
Tip: Never pay your mortgage late. If your mortgage has a grace period (e.g., "Payment due January 1. After January 10, late charges will be assessed."), do not take this to mean you can pay between January 1 and January 10. If you pay after the first due date, your payment will probably be considered late, and the late payment will appear on your credit report.
If you have a common name, or are a Jr. or Sr., you may find other people's information on your credit report. The credit bureaus say that there is not much they can do to prevent this mistake from occurring, so if you find this to be a problem, monitor your credit report carefully. Certainly, you should check it before you apply for a major loan or mortgage.
There is no way to remove negative information that is correct. If you paid any accounts that were charged-off, sent to collections, or for which the lender obtained a judgment against you, make sure these accounts are noted as paid. If any of these accounts remains unpaid, you are almost certain to be rejected for other loans. An unpaid collection account or judgment sends up a red flag to other creditors that the company to whom you owe the money could take further legal action against you, endangering your ability to pay other bills. Please see the section on "Collection Accounts" for further information.
Do not be taken in by companies that, for a fee, offer to "fix bad credit" or "remove negative information" from credit reports. If it is possible to fix your bad credit, you can do it yourself, as long as you have the right information. You do not need to pay a fee to one of these companies to fix your credit problems.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act states that if you dispute information on your credit file that you believe to be inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask the credit bureau to investigate the problem. If the credit bureau's investigation does not resolve the dispute, you can file a brief statement explaining the nature of the dispute. Your statement becomes a permanent part of your file and will remain on the report as long as the negative information is reported. The credit bureau may limit your statement to one hundred words or less, but must help you summarize it if you ask them to do so.
Some credit bureaus also allow you to add a statement to your file explaining circumstances that led to the reporting of negative information to your file. For instance, if you fell behind on your bills for several months due to illness or a job lay-off, you may be able to add a short 100-word statement explaining the problem. If you do add a statement to your file, make it brief and factual. In general, if you provide a consumer statement that contains medical information related to service providers or medical procedures, then you expressly consent to include this information in every credit report issued for you.
Credit reports contain symbols and codes that are abstract to the average consumer. Every credit bureau report also includes a key that explains each code. Some of these keys decipher the information while others just cause more confusion.
The following agencies are responsible for enforcing federal laws that govern credit card transactions and may be a good resource in the event you believe that there is incorrect information on your credit report. Questions concerning a particular card issuer should be directed to the enforcement agency responsible for that particular credit card issuer.

My Team & I: Cardiff City
By David Walker
Website: http://www.freebetsite.com/
Twitter: @freebetsite
Why Cardiff City?
Growing up in South Wales the majority of football "fans" at school preferred to support the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and even Leeds United. Only a minority supported the Bluebirds when we were in football's lowest tier during the 1990s and I am proud to say I was one of them. My Facebook newsfeed is full of praise and support for the team from old school friends who wouldn't have been seen dead at Ninian Park all those years ago, preferring to get their football fix from "Match of the Day" rather than actually attending a game.
A friend who had supported Cardiff for a number of seasons would often talk passionately about the team and matches and I finally went with him and his family to my first match on Saturday 5 November 1994. Our opponents that afternoon were Brighton & Hove Albion and there were plenty of fireworks on the pitch. Talismanic striker Phil Stant scored twice and even defender Lee Baddely got in on the act in a convincing 3-0 victory. After that match I was hooked and naively thought every weekend at Ninian Park would be so glorious.
That season I also remember Birmingham bringing a huge travelling support when they beat us 1-0 and Brentford, from the capital city of England, were seen to be a "big club" in the bottom division. They had names and squad numbers on the backs of their shirts before it became compulsory in 1999. They beat us 3-2 that afternoon in one of many home defeats I have seen over the years.
Fortunately, times have changed for better.
At Cardiff, I have seen the very best and very worst in terms of what professional football has had to offer over the years but the player who I still have a great fondness for is Peter Thorne. He arrived at the club when Sam Hammam first started waving his chequebook about and joined from Stoke for a club record £1.7 million.
Unfortunately, Thorne was hampered by injury during his time at Cardiff but when he played, he was magnificent. The 2002/03 season saw a prolific strike partnership blossom with Robert Earnshaw and produced 52 goals with Thorne getting 16 of them.
That season culminated in City's promotion to the Championship via the play-offs. Sure, it was Andy Campbell who scored the winner at the Millennium Stadium but it was Thorne who got us there in the first place. In the first leg of the semi final in the pouring rain, Thorne headed Cardiff in front against third-placed Bristol City. It proved to be enough as the second leg ended goalless at Ashton Gate.
He played to the tune of "Peter Thorne is magic, he wears a magic hat…" which was always sung enthusiastically and appreciatively by the City supporters and it was a sad day when the increasingly injured Thorne departed to Norwich City at the end of the 2004/05 season.
Favourite Game?
It would be obvious to choose the Play Off final in 2003 or the FA Cup final in 2008. But, I am going to travel back to the end of the 1995/96 season for a fairly meaningless match against "local rivals" Hereford United.
We finished the season 22nd out of 24 in the bottom tier of English football while Hereford finished in the play-off places. My recollection of the match is a bit hazy but I remember it was a game that had everything in terms of excitement.
City blew a 2 goal lead but managed to win the match 3-2 in the end. Tony Philliskirk, a contender for my all-time favourite player and one too delicate and skilful to have lumps kicked out of him by third division cloggers each week, scored directly off a free kick and also smashed a half-volley in off the underside of the bar. My rose-tinted spectacles wants to believe it was close to the halfway line when he shot, but in reality it was more likely the 25 to 30 yard mark. Veteran striker Steve White also missed a late, late penalty for Hereford to draw the match 3-3 just add some more gloss to the result.
Times were that bad at Cardiff, we signed White on a free transfer after Hereford failed to win promotion. He was 37-years-old at the time but the fact he'd scored 29 league goals that season, the top scorer in all four divisions, meant I was genuinely excited by his arrival.
Favourite Kit
My favourite City kit has to be from the 1993/94 season. The iconic mottled blue kit emblazoned with the "South Wales Echo" sponsor was what City wore when I first took an interest in them. The players wore it when they beat Premier League side Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round.
Worst Thing About Being a Cardiff Fan?
Cardiff still have a bad reputation despite being awarded "Family Club of the Year" by the Football League last year. Also, it still baffles me at the level of non-interest in Cardiff from so-called football supporters in South Wales.
I can see why people did not want to support the club when barely surviving at the bottom of the Football League but these days we are a good team pushing for promotion to the Premier League in front of 23,000 fans in a state-of-the-art stadium. All a far cry from the days when a couple of thousand hardy souls would turn up to watch the side get turned over by Cambridge United.
There are way too many armchair fans in Wales who proclaim to "support" teams like Manchester United or Liverpool despite having no affinity with those clubs whatsoever. We even have local idiots wearing Leeds or Aston Villa shirts claiming Cardiff are "shit". Well, at least the Bluebirds provoke an opinion, I suppose.
Funniest Moment?
Maybe not "funny" as such but there is one moment that sticks in my mind regarding USA striker Eddie Johnson. He joined us on loan from Fulham in the 2008/09 season and came with a big reputation. This was a player, remember, who Benfica were prepared to pay $5 million for in 2005 which would have been a record transfer fee for a footballer coming out of MLS.
Unfortunately, Eddie simply wasn't a very good player. He tried his hardest which endeared him to the City fans but he struggled to make an impact on the pitch. In his twentieth appearance for City he finally scored his first goal against Doncaster but it was his second for the club against Derby which will always stick in my mind.
As per usual, Johnson came on as a substitute and the "USA! USA!" chants echoed around the ground without any real expectation. But, with City 3-0 up at this stage, Eddie charged down a poor Derby clearance, outpaced the defence and coolly finished past the outrushing goalkeeper. It was moment of real quality from Johnson and the stadium erupted with cries of "Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!" I've never known such wholehearted support for such a poor player as there was for Johnson that season.
In true Eddie fashion, he went on to score an own goal at the end of the match for a final score of 4-1. Poignantly, that was the last goal ever scored under the floodlights at Ninian Park before City moved to their new stadium across the road.
Favourite Moment?
Several stick out such as Jason Koumas making his first appearance in a City shirt back in the 2005/06 season – he scored within three minutes of coming off the substitutes bench to equalise against Leeds United. The League One play off semi final against Bristol City and going on to beat QPR in the final of the 2002/03 season to win promotion to the Championship. Beating Leicester City on penalties in the Championship play off semi final in 2010 was also a memorable night.
Ultimately, my favourite moment has to be reaching the FA Cup final in 2008. Sure, we didn't play particularly well on the day and were beaten by Portsmouth but since I started supporting City back in the early 1990s I never dreamed I'd see the club in the FA Cup final in my lifetime.
Hopefully it won't be the last.

US Clinches No. 1 Seed in WW3 Western Conference
The U.S. clinched a number one seed in the World War III Western Conference today after beating Afghanistan in their last regular season game. Kevin "MOAB" Durant dropped the game winning bomb on the Afghanistan team.
The American team is an overwhelming favorite to make it to the championship game against China, but only if they avoid those pesky Vietnam Underdogs. Kevin "MOAB" Durant, had this to say after setting fire to Afghanistan's home field,
"It feels like we're in our millionth overtime, but we'll continue fighting for our third World Championship."
The U.S. will play sixth seeded Syria next Saturday.

Glenanne (Northern Ireland)
The Glenanne gang or Glenanne group was a secret informal alliance of Ulster loyalists, mostly from Northern Ireland, who carried out shooting and bombing attacks against Catholics and nationalists during the Troubles, beginning in the 1970s.[1] Most of its attacks took place in the "murder triangle" area of counties Armagh and Tyrone.[2] It also launched some attacks elsewhere in Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland.
Lethal Allies claims that permutations of the group killed about 120 people – almost all of whom were "upwardly mobile" Catholic civilians with no links to Irish republican paramilitaries.[5] The Cassel Report investigated 76 killings attributed to the group and found evidence that British soldiers and RUC officers were involved in 74 of those.[8] John Weir claimed his superiors knew he was working with loyalist militants but allowed it to continue.[9] The Cassel Report also said that some senior officers knew of the crimes but did nothing to prevent, investigate or punish.[8] It has been alleged that some key members were double agents working for British military intelligence and RUC Special Branch.[4][10] Attacks attributed to the group include the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, the Miami Showband killings, and the Reavey and O'Dowd killings.[4] Many of the victims were killed at their homes or in indiscriminate attacks on Catholic-owned pubs with guns and/or bombs. Some were shot after being stopped at fake British Army checkpoints, and a number of the attacks were co-ordinated.[11] When it wished to "claim" its attacks, the group usually used the name "Protestant Action Force". The name "Glenanne gang" has been used since 2003 and is derived from the farm at Glenanne (near Markethill, County Armagh) that was used as the gang's main 'base of operations'.[12][13] It also made use of a farm near Dungannon.[14
Peter Barry, then Irish Foreign Minister, travelled to London and told a group of Members of Parliament (MPs) that democracy in Northern Ireland was being undermined by the increase vote for Sinn Féin (SF). Gerry Adams, then Vice-President of Sinn Féin (SF), was in London as a guest of Ken Livingstone, then leader of the Greater London Council (GLC). Adams said that Britain had erected a 'wall of misinformation' around Northern Ireland.
David Allen, (22) nfNI

Francis Corr, (52)
Found shot in burning abandoned car, Summer Street, Lower Oldpark, Belfast.

Key events & Deaths on this day in Northern Ireland Troubles
Four people were shot dead and 18 were injured in the continuing feud between the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) and members of the Official Irish Republican Army (OIRA). An off-duty member of the Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR) was shot dead by the IRA in Belfast.
James Morgan (16), a Catholic civilian, was found dead in a field in County Down. It was believed that he had been abducted by the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF). Morgan had been missing since 24 July 1997. He had lived near Castlewellan, County Down. [He had been tortured before being killed.] (27 or 29 July ?) James Marley (21) from west Belfast hung himself on the railings of a motorway in Belfast. He had previously suffered a paramilitary 'punishment' attack, and had both his legs broken, because of his alleged involvement in 'joyriding' in the west Belfast area. Hours before he committed suicide he had attended an anti-joyriding meeting where he had appealed for more youth facilities in the area.
Two brothers, both Catholic civilians, were shot and wounded in a Loyalist attack in Derry. Bernadete Sands-McKevitt, sister of Bobby Sands and member of the 32 County Sovereignty Committee, said that the use of physical force by Republicans would not end until British rule in Ireland ended.
Garda Síochána (the Irish police) investigating a plot to smuggle handguns from the United States of America arrested a man and two women in Inverin, County Galway, and recovered eight handguns that had arrived in two parcels through the post. Earlier, in the US, the FBI detained two men and a woman in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and a Belfast man in Philadelphia in a transatlantic operation involving British and Irish police. An FBI source was reported as saying that the guns were intended for the Irish Republican Army (IRA). A Catholic church in Moneymore, County Derry, was attacked with a pipe-bomb. No one was injured in the incident.
A woman escaped injury after a bomb was left at her house in Larne, County Antrim. The woman heard a noise around midnight and discovered the device at the front of her house. The Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) moved the residents living on the street from their homes. Both attacks were carried out by Loyalist paramilitaries.
– To the Paramilitaries –
"There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, but nothing worth killing for."

Killed by: Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) Found beaten to death, in field, off Blackstaff Road, Clough, near Castlewellan, County Down.
Martin Galvin, then leader of NORAID (Irish Northern Aid Committee), was banned from entering the United Kingdom (UK). [Despite the ban Galvin appeared at rallies in Derry (9 August 1984) and Belfast (12 August 1984) where a Catholic civilian was killed by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC).]
The Irish Republican Army (IRA) issued a statement threatening any civilians who worked for the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) or the British Army (BA).
On 30 July 1986 the IRA killed a civilian contractor who worked for the RUC. On 5 August 1986 the IRA issued a further threat to people working with the security
The Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF) exploded seven incendiary devices in shops in the Republic of Ireland.
The British government transferred three Republican prisoners involved in a 'dirty' protest at Whitemoor Prison in Cambridgeshire to prisons in Northern Ireland. Four other prisoners continued with their protest at Whitemoor.
This brought the number of prisoners transferred to Northern Ireland to 21.]
Patrick Mayhew, then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, lifted a fund-raising ban on organisations suspected of having paramilitary links. The ban had been imposed 10 years earlier.
James Coopey (26) from County Down was charged with the murder of James Morgan on 24 July 1997.
[Later a second man was also charged with the killing.]
The Northern Ireland (Sentences) Act became law. The legislation allowed for the early release of paramilitary prisoners. Only prisoners who were members of organisations that were observing ceasefires could benefit from the legislation. Marjorie (Mo) Mowlam, then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, declared that the Irish Republican Army (IRA), Ulster Defence Association (UDA), and the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), were inactive.
[There was criticism of this decision by those who highlighted continuing violence by these organisations.]
Ronnie Flanagan, then Chief Constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), announced that the Union Flag would not be flown outside RUC stations on public holidays.
Flanagan said that this would bring RUC policy on the matter into line with the rest of the United Kingdom (UK). [Some Unionists reacted angrily to the announcement.]
As part of a government reshuffle of ministerial posts, John McFall replaced Tony Worthington at the Northern Ireland Office (NIO).
Marjorie (Mo) Mowlam, then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, retained her position in a British government reshuffle that left all but one member of Tony Blair's cabinet in place. Mowlam had earlier briefed journalists that she wanted to stay in post to complete the Good Friday Agreement. Peter Robinson, then deputy leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), called the decision "a disaster", however, Nationalists welcomed the development.
Relatives of the 14 men shot dead and 13 people wounded by British soldiers in Derry on 30 January 1972 expressed disappointment at an Appeal Court ruling that the soldiers who opened fire would not be named during the proceedings of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry.

Star Wars: Light of the Jedi is set to release tomorrow, January 5th 2021, and marks the official arrival of the High Republic Era of Star Wars. Disney and Lucasfilm welcomed the High Republic today with an hour long livestream event featuring Kathleen Kennedy and may of the authors involved in the publishing initiative.
The stream kicked off with the official launch trailer for the new era.
The trailer gives a quick overview of the time and the setting and closes out with an interesting line, "For the survival of the Republic, The Fate of All Jedi, For Control of the Force Itself."
The trailer also mentions the finding of an ancient evil that threatens "all we know", so perhaps the Nihil will serve as more than just a band of galactic raiders.
It was also revealed that the High Republic publishing initiative will span over multiple years and will happen in 3 phases.
There is no word on when each phase will being or end other than the first one, which starts on January 5th with the release of Light of the Jedi.
Stay tuned to SWT for all High Republic news!

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been hit by claims their six-year marriage is over.
Page Six sources insist Kim is "done" after a tough 2020, during which the rapper ran for U.S. President while publicly revealing he and his wife considered aborting their first child, daughter North.
'Divorce is imminent': Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are splitting up, sources say Back to video
A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian)
"She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign," a source told Page Six. "Meanwhile Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s–t, and she's just had enough of it."
Kim reportedly hasn't been seen wearing her wedding ring.
In a rant Kim insisted was a bipolar episode, Kanye also lashed out at his wife and her mother Kris Jenner for trying to keep him from his kids. He also announced he had been trying to divorce Kim for years.
Kanye later apologized and Kim flew to his retreat in Wyoming in an effort to fix their marriage, but it now appears the union is on its last legs.
Other sources say Kanye is becoming increasingly sick of the Kardashian family and their reality-show lifestyle.
Representatives for the couple have yet to comment on the latest split news, but insiders claim Kim has hired top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser and is in "settlement talks".
"Divorce is imminent," the Page Six source says.

Have a look at a RCWL-0516 "radar" sensor. This fits exactly your latest specs you posted. It's a rectangle, long and thin.
I'm using these sensors to detect the presence of living objects.
Thanks for the hint and explanation. I appreciate that!
Conversion from int (or byte) to float and vise versa is something that often brings me a headache.
I literaly spend many hours searching for a good guide in via google, but never really found one.
Are you maybe aware of a good guide how to properly do the conversions between different types (byte from floats etc. without getting involved in memory hungry libraries).
In my opinion does the above line not cohere with the statement that the steps are greater than .5 degrees fahrenheit.
I think that if you'd type these 3 words as you've used in the title of your post in any search machine you would get the info you're looking for.
I have two networks running in the same area, with the same purpose as yours.
One is running at Channel 13, the other at Channel 58. Works perfectly.
Maybe you have to do some (internet) research on how the screens of smartphones or tablets work. something like this. Ok it's a little bit over the edge for a Arduino, but it gives some direction I hope.
What do you mean by a HE? Human Engineering? Heavy equipment? High End (system)? Happy Ending ?


The online video market is valued at over $312 billion, yet corporations and advertisers are the only ones benefiting from the current model. Creators and publishers get a little and viewers get nothing. In fact, 96% of content creators will never make it over the poverty line. Verasity's video-sharing platform will ensure creators get a fair return on their content and Verasity's video protocol will revolutionize video revenue for existing media businesses around the world.
Founded in 2017, Verasity's team has over 30-years of experience in online video distribution, advertising and media. The founders have experience from businesses such as Akamai, Amazon, Eurosport, Joost (P2P TV), Guardian Media Group, and Sky. The team has invaluable knowledge of the online video market and the understanding of how to disrupt it.
Verasity has built its reputation on a solid foundation of pragmatism and research – even before their whitepaper was released. They have brought together a strong core team and the best advisors from around the industry. Having successfully hit milestones in Q3 and Q4 of 2017, as well as Q1 2018, they have a solid track record of delivering on time.
Verasity has seen strong growth off the back of marketing and partnerships with companies such as Akamai, Adbank, Vungle, and TRUTH. The Verasity community stands at over 300,000 strong and the team has attended 15 different events around the globe as well as hosting their own meetup in London, England on 17th May 2018.
Verasity is currently in the middle of their Token Sale which ends on July 11th or when the hard cap is reached. Development is on track and can be viewed either in their whitepaper (page 44) or on their website (under Roadmap). Already the team have delivered several products including their video player which is already running. You can already test out demo functionality in the VeraPlayer such as the in-built wallet and payment options. Development on their blockchain, video-sharing website and apps are also in play. Verasity will continue expanding their core team and advisors from the best of what the industry has to offer. You can see the newest additions here.
Centralized Distribution – Videos on Verasity system are hosted on a high-performance CDN rather than using unproven decentralized video distribution technology. This ensures that right from the start, users will receive a consistently high-quality experience. Verasity's video player technology has distributed over 8 Petabytes of data in a month and is already embedded on leading ICO rating sites such as ICO Bench.
Decentralized proprietary blockchain (Q3 2018) – Verasity's high-performance proprietary blockchain will provide the throughput required to support microtransactions at scale, overcome congestion, and other issues such as users forcing hard forks.
Proof-of-View™ (Patent Pending) – Ensures accurate and secure audience metrics, allows for independent auditing, and tackles issues such as ad-fraud and fake/bot views.
Spark Marketplace – Think the next evolution of crowdfunding where users will be able to directly fund the growth of content as well as fund projects such as feature films and then receive an on-going share of the success in VERA.
Economic Model – Working with Dr. Christian Jaag (founder of the Centre for Cryptoeconomics), Verasity has commissioned one of the most extensive economic analyses ever undertaken on a crypto-economy. The model, which was created off the back of thousands of simulations and stress tests, is designed to create a stable economy with a 3% inflation rate. More information can be found at this link.
Token Compliance – Verasity is SICOP (Sustainable ICOs Protocol) compliant meaning that Verasity is committed to conducting a safe and secure ICO, maintaining good practice and ethics. Further information is available here.
Verasity is working quickly and diligently to get their product out to the public and ramp up its user-base. With a strong go-to-market strategy, Q3 of 2018 will be an exciting time as the Verasity blockchain becomes operational. A variety of minimum viable products will also be released around this time too including the blockchain-enabled VeraPlayer, VeraWallet, and Verafier apps. Soon after the video-platform beta will be released to the public in Q4 2018 with the full release scheduled for 2019. Verasity will also continue to showcase their products at events around the world.

Today the golden figure of Joan of Arc, astride a horse, banner raised to the heavens, dominates the Place des Pyramides in Paris. Yet the girl who became a saint in 1920 had died a cruel death almost five hundred years earlier, burned at the stake by the English at Rouen in 1431 at the age of nineteen. Her captors had accused her of heresy and arranged a show trial, harnessing all the legal and theological arguments that the best minds of the day (or those that served the English cause, at least) could muster. And all this to silence a teenage peasant girl from Lorraine in eastern France who was convinced that God had told her to rid her country of its oppressors and heal the wounds of civil war. We may be familiar with the outline of Joan's life but what do we really know of her brief moment of glory as the most unlikely military leader and kingmaker in history? These are questions that Helen Castor sets out to answer in her excellent new book on this heroine who has been the icon of many causes.

Volunteer Services at East Cooper Awards Scholarships
MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. – June 3, 2015 – Fourteen local students have been awarded $1,000 scholarships from the Volunteer Services Organization (VSO), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization at East Cooper Medical Center. The students will be attending South Carolina universities including USC, Clemson University, Trident Technical College, Charleston Southern University and Coastal Carolina University.
This year's recipients of the $1,000 scholarships are: Kimberly Baldwin, Sean Brady, Kyle Brady, Nic Elrod, Andrea Kurt, Katherine Nickels, Taylor Smalls, Jessica Thompson, Mollie Davidson, Sarah Faulkner, Anna Gazecki, Rita Hirsch, Emily Stafford and Ainsley Wingard. The scholarships were given at East Cooper Medical Center on June 2, 2015 during an intimate gathering and celebration to honor the chosen recipients. CEO, Jason Alexander, and Jan Ledbetter, President of the VSO, congratulated each student on their hard work and wished them continued success in their college career.
"It's an honor to award these students with scholarships to further their education. It was evident by looking at their applications and essays that these are top-notch students. Our volunteers are thrilled to be helping local students attend college and pursue their dreams," said Jan Ledbetter. Jessica Thompson, a scholarship recipient, has been volunteering in the East Cooper nursery for over a year. Thompson says, "I've learned a lot about people and it's been such a rewarding experience. I love that one smile (or lame joke) can make someone's entire day." Jessica is currently in nursing school at Trident Technical College, and she appreciates the generous scholarship that has been given to her by the Volunteer Services Organization.
The Wishing Well Gift Shop at East Cooper Medical Center is managed by volunteers and each year sales from the gift shop go to local charities, medicines for patients in need, and to fund scholarships for area students. In addition, the VSO also holds several fundraisers throughout the year. To apply for the scholarship, students must complete an application form, provide letters of recommendation and have a cumulative grade point average of B and above. A scholarship committee reviews the applications and chooses the recipients.

East Cooper Medical Center has been providing healthcare to the East Cooper community since 1986. We provide a number of services including 24-hour emergency care, women's services, diagnostic imaging and interventional services, orthopedics, sports medicine, pain care, adult and pediatric rehabilitation services, wound care services and surgical care, including nationally recognized spine surgery and breast reconstruction surgery.
