The OC Health Care Agency (HCA) presents the "Addressing the Opioid Crisis in Orange County, CA" report, a publication that details the extensive, strategic prevention, harm reduction, treatment and recovery efforts led by the HCA's Mental Health and Recovery Services team and underway countywide. The report also includes an appendix on behalf of the Orange County Alcohol Drug Advisory Board (ADAB) that summarizes crucial feedback from stakeholders impacted by the opioid crisis.
Drug overdose (poisoning) is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States, causing more deaths than motor vehicle crashes. Opioids – both prescription painkillers and heroin – are responsible for most of those deaths. The number of Californians affected by prescription and non-prescription opioid misuse and overdose is substantial, with rates varying significantly across counties, and even within counties. In Orange County, the rate of opioid-related emergency department (ED) visits has increased 141% since 2005 and there were 7,457 opioid overdose/abuse cases treated in the ED between 2011 and 2015. Importantly, seven of every 10 overdose deaths investigated by the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner during this five-year period involved opioids. Learn more in the "2017 Opioid Overdose & Death in Orange County" report.
To combat these climbing statistics, the OC Health Care Agency (HCA) has the following resources available to help you or a loved one who may have a substance use problem:

Wahkiakum county officials this week wrapped up initial steps in preparing their preliminary budgets for 2019.
County commissioners met with department heads and others to go over requests line by line.
Officials usually express concern that revenue for the Current Expense Fund, which finances most courthouse offices, will be insufficient, but this year they're saying the picture looks promising.
In the past couple years, the county commission has diverted funds from the County Road Levy to Current Expense to cover shortfalls, but that shouldn't be necessary in 2019, Commissioner Blair Brady said.
The county should receive $1.2 million in revenue from the sale of state managed county trust timber, Treasurer Tammy Peterson said.
The timber revenue is a major funding source for Current Expense. Officials had budgeted $1.1 million for 2018, but actual revenue will total $2 million, Peterson said, along with another distribution for timber on land locked up from harvest by Endangered Species Act rules.
A request from the Town of Cathlamet for $10,000 to support the municipal library generated a wide ranging discussion.
Librarian Carol Blix said that without the appropriation, the library will have to raise the cost of library cards and do without some needed improvements and services.
County patrons hold 267 of the library's 489 active cards, 54 percent she said. The town spent nearly $40,000 to staff, support and maintain the library. The county has supported the library financially in the past but made no appropriation this year.
Commissioner Mike Backman said he hoped the Cathlamet library would use part of a $10,000 appropriation to reorganize services in the library building. On the top floor, it houses the library, and on the bottom floor are the Community Center and Town of Cathlamet archives.
Backman said he'd like to see all community center activities move to the county's Hope Center adjacent to Wendt Elementary School and see the library use the community center space for expanded services.
The community center space is inadequate for parking and access, he said; it functions as a free coffee shop across the street from a commercial coffee shop.
"Talk to the city council," Commissioner Dan Cothren commented.
Responding to Backman, Blix said expanded services would require more management time, an added expense.
Discussion continued and turned to the possibility of forming a county-wide library district, possibly in conjunction with Timberlands Regional Library which serves Pacific and other counties.
"It would take a lot of selling (to win voter approval)," Brady said.
"At this time, we don't have the time and money for it," Blix said.


SCARCE DWM 1921 "SAFE & LOADED" COMMERCIAL 7.65 LUGER……..MINT STUNNING FULL RIG!
In 98% mint crisp stunning condition, we have a DWM 1921 American Market "SAFE & LOADED" 7.65mm Luger Pistol. These pistols were imported by several firms in the early to mid 1920's most notably by A.F. Stoeger, though there were others as well. Clearly, with the rare English Language markings this was intended for the U.S. Market, which was and always will be the largest consumer in the world for small arms as we so love our guns. Back in the roaring 20's this was the exotic cool foreign pistol, much as you would view and HK or Sig today, a cut above.
This all matching mint example is fully rigged out with a period commercial holster, spare mag and tool, almost certainly as it was put together and sold at the time. This was and still is a very attractive pistol and a very flashy rig. This is a wonderful example of one of the most notable and legendary pistols of the 20th century. AN EXCEPTIONAL BARGAIN FOR THE PRICE!!!

Insights Blog Meet Alfred Smith III, a Diligent Quality Engineer and Scriptwriter
Meet Alfred Smith III, a Diligent Quality Engineer and Scriptwriter
Alfred Smith III, a Qualitest Test Engineer from New Orleans, LA, is a keen, determined, and motivated professional.
His philosophy in life is simple – work hard on a daily basis to show every little kid out there that anything is possible.
Despite his simple and quiet demeanor, Alfred is a highly confident engineer who is passionate about learning and career progression. He is always looking for an opportunity to grow and challenge himself.
Alfred believes that nothing can truly stop you if you set goals and create a plan to achieve those goals. He attributes his fierce motivation to his parents, siblings, friends, and his higher ups at Qualitest.
"I emphasize hard work because I'm a firm believer in the saying – Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard," Alfred says.
Alfred speaks highly of his university experience and calls it the force majeure in helping him become the leader he is today.
"Being involved in so many different organizations, I got to meet and work with people from many different cultures and ethnicities, but most importantly, I learned what it means to be a true leader," says Alfred.
"I was on the leadership team/executive boards in all of my organizations, all of which granted me the opportunity to gain skills that would seamlessly transition into my job," he adds.
Alfred is generally interested in all things testing, but his heart is into functional testing.
To strengthen his technical skills, he is writing a PMP exam and learning programming languages like Selenium and Python.
Software testing and the Qualitest journey
Alfred's IT career took off when he realized his disinterest in his finance degree and felt that number crunching was not for him.
About his career, Alfred says, "My career in IT actually happened accidentally. It was my senior year in college, and I was going through the job-hunting phase. A family member then suggested that I would be great in IT. I listened to that suggestion, applied for numerous jobs, and accepted an offer. On my second day of work, I knew that this was the best decision as this is a career path that will allow me to grow as much as I'd like to."
Alfred feels that the best part about working for the IT industry is that it presents ample growth opportunities.
"There is no ceiling, you can continue to grow into as many different areas as you'd like to," he adds.
Alfred is positively motivated by his learnings and journey at Qualitest. He mentions that he enjoys his trainings on the job and his interactions with an open-minded team.
"My journey at Qualitest has been absolutely phenomenal. I like the fact that there's access to so many different training courses. My team lead was great at allowing me to shadow him along, giving me tips and teaching me the tricks of the trade," he says.
"I am a huge fan of how everyone is so personable and easy to reach. I also love this leadership training that I've just been assigned. It's teaching me so much," says Alfred.
Advice to the future generation of testers
Alfred feels that a career in IT comes with a great work/life balance and lots of opportunities for growth. You can also change areas of expertise/focus with necessary trainings.
He sums up some great advice for up-and-coming software testing professionals.
"Be open at all times.
Focus on building relationships.
Some days may be more challenging than others.
Your way of doing things may sometimes be different than the client's way of doing things.
Develop your own methodology and your own way of doing things (writing test scripts, defect management, etc.) but be aware that this may have to change.
Most of all, ENJOY and continually push yourself, challenge yourself, and grow."
Life beyond testing
When Alfred is done with work, you can find him binge watching YouTube videos, or listening to his favorite podcast: Off Camera with Sam Jones. His other hobbies include traveling, working out, reading plays, and writing film scripts.

Employees want to feel and see the meaning behind every hour they spend at work. Sometimes that meaning is, at its most basic, all about a paycheck. But more often than not, employees feel most engaged when they can see how their everyday job duties connect to their personal goals, professional aspirations, the company's mission and, at an increasing rate, the community.
Overall, 58% of employees consider a company's social and environmental commitments when deciding where to work. However, 79% of millennials consider the company's social and environmental commitments. That means the incoming generation (the very generation who has made up most of the workforce since 2015) is weighing their future employer's social impact into the decision of whether or not to apply.
Employees want it. Millennials really want it. Businesses are trying to develop plans to have it. But what is it? Social impact has become a bit of an umbrella statement. Elizabeth Clawson (@eclawson), blogger at Nonprofit Periscope believes the term has come to mean nothing and though we don't necessarily agree, we can see her point.
One of our goals at CyberGrants is to help companies build corporate social responsibility programs that positively impact the community, manage the values and mission of the organization and engage employees. Vaguely stating that your organization needs to make and measure social impact is no help to that cause. Let's delve into some of the metrics of social impact and how they translate to building a CSR program your company can be proud of.
"We throw social impact around as if it means the same thing to all of us." -@eclawson #CSRTweet This!
There's a lot to be gained from building an employee giving or volunteering program. One such advantage is the boost to the bottom line. In the simplest of ways, companies who donate time and money receive tax breaks, but it goes deeper than that. People want to work with and for companies who have similar priorities and a good reputation within the community which means more connections and business leads. While the potential income/savings might not be the biggest focus of your philanthropic work, it sure is an exciting one.
When employees were given the chance to volunteer with coworkers, 81% reported the experience strengthened their relationships. Teamwork, engagement, satisfaction, loyalty… CSR programs benefit employees in so many ways that it can be overwhelming trying to analyze the program's unique effect on your people. Begin by gathering the number of participants for each project or effort your company organizes. Compare the following metrics to discover retention and satisfaction/engagement improvements. Employee surveys that gather feedback on each particular project are encouraged as well.
81% of employees feel more closely bonded to coworkers after volunteering together.Tweet This!
How companies market their CSR involvement externally can help in employment branding, recruitment and business development. Many companies hope to position themselves as an organization who cares about the community and world. In order to do that, they share their philanthropic work and results with their peers, clients and potential employees through media coverage, social media postings, newsletters or a web page specifically dedicated to their unique corporate responsibility.
Today's workforce is interested in making a difference in the world and people want their employer to share similar values. Of course, building a plan for that can highly affect your company's financial bottom line. Understanding how to measure social impact is important in deciding what direction is most engaging to your employees and beneficial to your budget.

What's the reason behind the worst stock market Q2 start since Great Depression?
The US stock market recently posted its worst week since Jan. 2016, when weak economic data from Chain sparked a global selloff, an event that rekindled worries over global economic growth. Over the five days between March 19 and March 23, US stocks fell roughly 6 percent, European stocks were down roughly 4 percent, UK stocks were down 3.4 percent and Asian markets were down by up to 4 percent, with Japan faring worst by declining over 5 percent. The decline in the stock market came in a month in which Bitcoin declined by over 35 percent to bring the first quarter loss of the cryptocurrency to 47 percent.
On the first market day of the second quarter, the S&P 500 Index dropped by 2.2 percent, the poorest start to the month of April since the 1929 Great Depression, data from Bloomberg showed. By close of market on April 4, the stock market had recovered from the April 2 slump with the S&P 500 Index closing 1.3 percent higher and the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing 1.7 percent higher. By comparison, Bitcoin prices have been relatively flat since the start of the month.
For a number of reasons, one of which is the fact that stocks benefited from the surge in the cryptocurrency market last year, it's possible to think that the recent struggles in the stock market has to do with the dismal performance of Bitcoin this year. Indeed, Bitcoin's decline may have influenced stock prices, but such influence is marginal. The stock market decline was down to worries over global economies.
At the heart of the latest selloff are worries over potential trade wars that are likely to ensue from the Trump administration's move to impose tariffs on up to $60 bln in Chinese imports. The US government had conducted an inquest, dubbed the "301 investigation," into suspected unfair trade practices by China.
The US government will publish a list of targeted products in April. Robert Lighthizer, the US Trade Representative who led the inquest, told legislators on March 22 that aeronautics, modern rail, new energy vehicles and high-tech products would be subject to the new tariffs. Lighthizer admitted that China is likely to retaliate by targeting agricultural products from the US, which rely on the Chinese export market.
The Trump administration has been upfront about its intention to protect American goods and the latest tariff plan proves that the government is serious. Trump will reportedly consider taking further actions against China in coming weeks, depending on the response to the first phase of the tariffs.
"We've got a confluence of events: We've got some Facebook going on, some trade war going on, and higher interest rates going on," Paul Nolte, portfolio manager at Kingsview Asset Management, Chicago told Bloomberg.
Facebook has been under fire for how it handles user data following news that Cambridge Analytica mined data of 50 mln Facebook users without their permission. This sent shares of Facebook down roughly 13.8 percent in the week ended March 23 and the stock is down roughly one percent in the month-to-date. The revelation put pressure on tech stocks at large over heightened concerns that they might not be doing enough to protect user data. iShares U.S. Technology ETF, which tracks the performance of the Dow Jones US Technology Sector Index fell from $182.95 a share on March 12 to $165.68 a share on March 23. The ETF closed at roughly $168.18 a share on April 4. Typically, if tech stocks struggle the way they did, the overall stock market is definitely going to take a hit too.
"The entire technology complex is worried about what [Facebook founder] Mark Zuckerberg said last night [March 21], that maybe 'we should be regulated'". All of a sudden you have all of these technology companies that are going, 'I can't believe he said that,' because that would basically hurt technology companies' earnings potential."
Simply put, the two events highlighted above — trades and data security — are at the heart of the recent struggles in the stock market. The global selloff of stocks in February triggered by worries over a potential interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve also influenced market reactions to recent events as well.
On the other hand, Bitcoin's struggles have been down to its acceptance, or the lack thereof, on various levels including regulators and companies. The Wall Street Journal reported at the end of February that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has "issued dozens of subpoenas and information requests to technology companies and advisers" involved in the cryptocurrency space. As more details of the SEC inquest became available at the beginning of March, in addition to a report in Bloomberg that suggested the Bitcoin regulation that the Chinese government imposed wasn't temporary, the cryptocurrency market, led by Bitcoin began a downward spiral.
There is also the negative effect of the recent advertising bans imposed by companies including Facebook and Alphabet's Google. Such ban sends a negative vibe to the public on cryptocurrencies and ICO projects.
What is clear is that the recent stock market performance has almost nothing to do with the performance of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at large. For the most part, the stock market struggles stem from investor panic over things that might be. As Julianne Niemann of research firm Smith Moore said "The market has a psychology right now of, 'when in doubt, get out. We'll figure out later what happened.' "
If the downward trend of stocks continues especially because of the political uncertainties around the Trump administration, we might see investors look in the direction of Bitcoin to protect their wealth given that the government does not control it. This may inherently increase the demand for the number one cryptocurrency. Researchers at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization found that political uncertainties in recent years, such as the economic crisis in Greece, uncertainties surrounding Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president have brought about an increased demand for Bitcoin, pushing up prices in the end.


As a person with myopia (nearsightedness) who never feels comfortable with eyeglasses, I resort to contact lenses. I'm really glad contact lenses were invented. Without contact lenses, I would always have headaches from eyeglasses even if the lenses' grades are updated.
Last Saturday, my mother and I went to Paterno St., Quiapo. Goals were to get me a new pair of contact lenses, buy huge bottles of multipurpose contact lens solution with free contact lens case, and buy travel size multipurpose solutions for an upcoming flight with colleagues to Rootcon 8 in Cebu.
If you know that you should look for a colorful interior with greens and yellows, you won't miss this optical shop. This was where I bought my 2013 to 2014 pair of contacts. Their contact lens price and quality were not bad, the shop is not far from my house, waiting time is short, and the staffs are accomodating and are all Pinays… so I had no reason not to come back, right? xD Chinatown/Binondo is another not-so-far place from my house and there are optical shops there, but I'd rather go to Quiapo because the Chinese doctors in Binondo area make me feel uneasy. Think language barrier.
Clear contact lens for extended wear (approximately 1 year of use) cost 1200 pesos. The brand they sell is New Look. The doctor first checked my eye grades with that apparatus where the patient leans forward and see a hot air balloon photo. xD I think it's called an autorefractor. Then she proceeded with the other eye exam where she made me wear that heavy eyeglasses where she added and took away lenses from. Through these two test, the doctor would determine the best power that your contact lenses (even eyeglasses) need.
The waiting time for the contact lens was only 30 minutes. Mom and I went to buy stuff from Isetann first to kill time. Vista Prima Optical is open until 6PM anyway. We ate at Phat Panda Fast Food at Bustos St. The "small" size servings of dishes were good for two people and cost only 100 pesos. We ordered mixed seafood with vegetables which was nice because it had oysters, fishes and squids. I like those. The other dish was sizzling beef. It's like Chinese-style beef with buttery sauce and vegetables. It was so-so to me. We also ordered fried rice, and it was bad. The rice was so soggy and it was almost like eating paste. Service was bad. There were only three staffs walking around to serve – two ladies and one guard. And when I said service was bad, it's about one of the waitresses. I asked her for service water when she took our order. I waited. But when every food was already served to us, the water was still not brought to us. So I asked the same waitress again for water, and she said "Sige wait lang po." And so we waited again. But she never served us water. She just kept serving other tables and seemed to have no intention of getting back to us. Another table asked for hot tea, and she, the same waitress who wouldn't bring us water, immediately served them hot tea. We asked the other waitress for water, and she gave us a pitcher right away. Geez! Was the waitress doing it on purpose? She shouldn't, because there's no reason for her to do so, since we were politely requesting stuff from her.
After the irritating lunch at Phat Panda, we went back to Vista Prima Optical to claim my contact lenses.
The New Look contact lenses came with a 60 ml bottle of Bescon Cliwell multipurpose solution and a free contact lens case. That small bottle gave me hope of finding a similar bottle that I could bring to a flight.
They don't have huge bottles of contact lens multipurpose solutions there that had free contact lens case, so I told my mom I'd check out other optical shops.
I saw bottles of "All Comfort Formula" multi-purpose contact lens solution being displayed at "I Sight Optical Centre" so I walked in to buy some. We realized that it's the same optical shop where my mom purchased eyeglasses last year. Each 500 ml bottle costs 220 pesos with free contact lens case. It's a bit more expensive per ml compared to my usual multipurpose solution called Lens Care (95 pesos for about 350 ml bottle), but Lens Care has a supply problem lately.
The reason why I wanted to look for multipurpose contact lens solution in Quiapo is because of Lens Care's supply problem in Mercury Drug stores. Lens Care could be found in any Mercury Drug branch, until recently. I went to a branch in Sta. Cruz, in EDSA, in Binondo, and in Makati, and there was either the expensive Opti-Free brand or nothing.
In the next few weeks, I'll be on a flight bound for Cebu with office mates. We will be attending Rootcon 8. 🙂 We are not checking in any luggage, and that gives me a problem with my contact lens solution. 3.4 oz or 100 ml is the maximum volume of liquid per container for carried bags in planes, while my solutions are 350 ml and above. My original plan was to drop by a Mercury Drug store upon landing, and buy contact lens solution there. But I felt that there would also be a supply problem of Lens Care in Cebu. 2 years ago, I was able to buy Lens Care in Cebu, but that was a time when supply was not a problem. So I thought, I would either buy that expensive Opti-Free solution (300+ pesos, IIRC) in Cebu or wear glasses for 4 days while walking around in unfamiliar places. It will be a very tough stay in Cebu if I only wear glasses. There would be constant head and eye pain, and difficulty in moving around.
My mom didn't want to check another optical shop. Getting tired, I think. But I told her I really need to find a small bottle of multipurpose solution similar to that freebie from Vista Prima.
Another optical shop with an array of contact lens solution being displayed caught our attention. It was called "New SOS Optical Supply Co." And they had the very same 60 ml bottle of Bescon Cliwell! 😀 Each bottle costs 65 pesos… or was it 60? xD Each bottle comes with free contact lens case too.

Mexican Radio was on national television last week?
I am totally amazed that nobody picked up on this, nobody noticed it, nobody said a word. Heck, I didn't even realize it until I saw it on television. Surely I expected SOMEONE to say something.
By now you know that Mexican Radio, the new Hispanic restaurant in downtown Schenectady, recently opened. For now, it's the hip place to visit, at least until some other restaurant comes by and becomes that hip place to visit.
Well, in order to have that nice authentic restaurant atmosphere, Mexican Radio purchased over 1,200 Fiestaware plates for their establishment. So how do you get 1,200 plates from the factory to downtown Schenectady?
You hire an independent transporter, and to get one of those, you go on a website like uShip.com to get the best deal. Well, that's what Mexican Radio did.
They hired Todd and Tamera Sturgis, two new drivers for the A&E television series Shipping Wars.
Yep. That show about the independent truckers / haulers / carriers that has evolved into one of A&E's most popular programs.
Anyway, Todd and Tamera won the bid to courier the plates. They went to the factory and had to package and box up over 1,200 dishes. Of course, thinking that they could make some extra cash along the way, they picked up a side load of some brewery stills and dropped those off at a second location.
But when they arrived at Mexican Radio…
Maybe I should preface this comment by mentioning that although Fiestaware plates look thick and strong on your dinner table, they can break easily if dropped or jostled.
And… well…
Here's the episode of how well the shippers did in terms of plate delivery.
So here's what I don't understand. Any time something happens in the Capital District that involves a resident or a business getting on a reality TV show, the local media are all over it like frosting on a CoccaDott's cupcake. They're nailed to it like a Colonie house on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. They're scarfing it down like a restaurant makeover courtesy of Gordon Ramsay.
Surprisingly, though, there was not even a hint of news that Mexican Radio would make an appearance on the Shipping Wars television series. No viewing parties, no "Were you SEEN at the Mexican Radio Shipping Wars taping," none of that.
Oh well. Maybe I've just grown jaded in my old age.
But if you want to watch the entire episode that features Mexican Radio and the bumbling shippers Todd and Tamera, it's right up there. That episode also features the adventures of trying to move an enormous steampunk robot from Harrisburg to New Jersey, which was fun in and of itself.
"We're not gay, just in case you were wondering."
K-Chuck Radio: More Forgotten Gems
6 replies to Mexican Radio was on national television last week?
Roz says:
Oh great, Chuck. You had to remind the TU reporters about the Extreme Makeover house. Now they'll think it's time to harass that poor woman again, as if there aren't more important stories in the Capital District. That whole series of stories was a waste and a disgrace.
I'm really surprised that there wasn't a word of this "Shipping Wars/Mexican Radio" story in Table Hopping. It would have been perfect for another boring round of "I'm So-and-So and I'm NOT EVER eating at Mexican Radio because…" as if anyone gives a damn.
Oldsod2 says:
Here's what I don't understand: how does a restaurant opening night get planned without having dishes and all other essential ingredients on hand? This is beyond the point of embarrassment for the new owner/franchise. Years ago we passed on Mexican Radio in Hudson as being wildly overpriced, having lived and conducted business in Mexico for nearly 15 years. We'll pass on the Schenectady location as well, so thanks for the film clip and the heads-up!
Sonja Stark says:
Mexican Radio needs a PR department – it would have been great marketing for them to alert the media about their debut.
Hal Jordan says:
Do you think Wall of Voodoo gets a cut of the profits from these places?
Ahhh beaten!
Roger Green says:
I didn't mention because I didn't know, because I don't watch "reality" TV. And it's because they tend to give the impression that Oldsod2 came away with, that there is always inherent drama in life. (It may or may not be actually true in this case.) Every HGTV episode is the same way: will they or won';t they have the home ready in time?
I HATE "reality" TV.

People are often unkind about Microsoft. They tell jokes about it. Jokes like this one: What is the only Microsoft product launch that didn't suck? Answer -- the Windows vacuum cleaner. It's an old joke and as with most jokes about the US software giant, it is the richest man in the world, Bill Gates, who usually ends up having the last laugh. He laughs all the way to the bank as a rule.
Gates was probably laughing like a drain last week when his company announced a massive 26 percent rise in revenues for the quarter to September -- bucking the trend of most other technology companies who are, for the most part, still feeling the icy chill of recession.
But the vacuum cleaner joke strikes a chord with anyone who has ever had a computer freeze on them. Most commercially available software is prone to crashes, bugs, and virus attacks that can render it useless. This is not an exclusively Microsoft problem -- but MS gets the most grief over it because more people are using its software than anybody else's.
There are basically two schools of opinion on the unreliability of software: the doves argue that software is so incredibly complex that it is unreasonable and unrealistic to expect it to demonstrate the same reliability qualities as, say, a hairdryer. Bill Gates recently said in support of this view that .Net was more complex than getting to the moon or designing the 747.
The hawks will have none of this, and insist that if you buy software you should expect it to do what it says on the box, just as you do when you part with hard earned cash for any other product. Hawks like to draw an analogy with automobile manufacturers, arguing that if cars failed as often as software there would be lot more deaths on the roads.
There is no doubt that Microsoft and other software vendors need to improve the reliability of their products. The unsavoury business of lengthy disclaimer contracts that you are deemed to agree to merely by breaking the shrinkwrap -- and the fact that you don't actually 'own' software but rent the use of it -- all these things suggest that the software business hasn't quite got it when it comes to customer satisfaction.
The reliability of Microsoft software will come under a particularly unforgiving spotlight in the weeks and months ahead as Windows Powered Smartphone software begins to ship on Orange and T-Mobile phones.
The challenge for Microsoft in this market is that phone users have zero tolerance for software that doesn't work. Ask yourself this question -- how often has the software on your Nokia or Ericsson phone crashed? Probably never in most ZDNet UK readers' experience -- or a minute amount of times compared to the number of PC crashes they have experienced.
People have been using landlines for generations. The expectation is that you pick up the receiver, dial a number, and speak -- to more or less anywhere on the planet. We are way past the wonderment phase. Phones are simply expected to work. Telephony, both fixed and wireless, has had some of the best engineering brains of the past one hundred years lavish attention upon it, and the net result of this is that phones deliver on user expectation 99.9 percent of the time.
The first Windows Powered Smartphone that came into this office crashed after ten minutes of use. Our technology editor wanted to see if it could take a voice call while downloading an MP3 file. It couldn't. (A full preview is available here on ZDNet UK Reviews.) A presenter trying out a smartphone on breakfast television this morning also managed to break his phone in minutes. These were beta versions, so there is still time for Microsoft and the network operators to tweak configurations a little before they ship; but you have to say it was not a great start.
Rumours that Microsoft might be getting cold feet on the enormity of this challenge were quashed by Bill Gates in an interview with the Financial Times on Wednesday in which he said: "We have spent millions of dollars to be in that category and our breakthrough product is just now shipping to carriers... we have a long term view of this and are making our investments consistent with that."
If Microsoft stays in the race, as it has a habit of doing, there is every reason to believe Windows Powered Smartphone will be a success in the long run. Right now Symbian has a lead in Europe -- as has previously been reported by ZDNet UK. It is worth noting, however, that some of the leading handset manufacturers and network operators remain firmly agnostic on the subject of operating systems for next generation mobile phones. Samsung, for example, will manufacture the smartphone model offered in the UK by Orange -- but it is also committed to making a Symbian-based phone.
The mobile telephone is the next frontier for Microsoft software. If it is to continue to thrive it has to compete in the market for pocket-sized communications devices -- and that must mean Windows Powered Smartphone as well as Pocket PC. Smartphone vs Symbian is a battle that will be decided by consumer choice -- which is a good thing. To acquit itself well in the fight, Microsoft must demonstrate that it understands the importance of reliability -- even if that is as hard as sending a man to the moon.

City eyes land near Jacob's Ladder
BEATRICE THOMASThe West Australian
Mon, 12 December 2011 8:13AM
The City of Perth has moved to buy a block of land abutting Jacob's Ladder that it could turn into a park.
The council has agreed to put in an offer for the 1862sqm block, on the corner of Cliff Street and Mounts Bay Road, in West Perth.
The land was the subject of a spat earlier this year between the council and landowner Swanhill Enterprises Pty Ltd over a planned office development.
In April, the State Administrative Tribunal upheld the council's decision to knock back the project.
Council chief executive Frank Edwards said the land could enhance the Jacob's Ladder area.
Bold proposal for people on Centrelink


Fairfield County pinned 23 unanswered points on New Haven County in the second half to claim a 23-13 victory in the 16th annual Hall of Fame Classic All-Star Football Game at Ken Strong Stadium in West Haven on Saturday.
Bunnell's J.J. Bivona won defensive MVP honors for Fairfield, returning an interception 50 yards for a touchdown to put his squad ahead for good, 16-13.
His high-school teammate at Bunnell, Jawad Chisholm, caught a pair of touchdown passes to win offensive MVP honors for Fairfield County.
Matt Paola of Pomperaug added a field goal to account for the Fairfield County scoring.
Kyle Pulek of Cheshire kicked two field goals for New Haven County (29, 42 yards).
Amity's Tyler Valle tossed a 1-yard score to Sheehan's Brodie Corless for the lone New Haven touchdown.
Ansonia's Jake LaRovera, who blocked a punt and had two tackles for losses, was named the New Haven County MVP.
Pulek was named the offensive MVP.

Bartholomeus Willem Anne Elisa (Bart) baron Sloet tot Oldhuis (Huize de Beele, Voorst, 12 oktober 1807 - Zwolle, 16 juni 1884) was een Nederlands econoom, jurist en liberaal politicus en Thorbeckiaans Tweede Kamerlid.

Levensloop
Sloet tot Oldhuis volgde middelbaar onderwijs aan het Instituut Van Kinsbergen, een kostschool in Elburg. In deze tijd vormde zich zijn uitgestrekte belangstelling en maakte hij kennis met onder andere de latere dichter Joost Hendrik Burlage. Van 1824 tot 1830 studeerde hij rechten aan de Universiteit Utrecht. Hij promoveerde hier met het proefschrift "Dissertatio philosophico-juridica inauguralis sistens animadversiones nonnulae de natura civitatis", een filosofisch-juridisch betoog over het wezen van de staat.

In 1830 ging hij met zijn broer Ludolf Anne Jan Wilt Sloet van de Beele in dienst in het leger en nam onder andere deel aan de Tiendaagse Veldtocht. In 1832 kreeg hij eervol ontslag en werd burgemeester van Hengelo (Overijssel). In 1838 werd hij lid en later voorzitter van de arrondissementsrechtbank te Zwolle.

Sinds 1841 gaf hij het Tijdschrift voor Staathuishoudkunde en Statistiek uit, waarin de meeste artikelen van zijn hand waren en hij onder meer pleitte voor vrijhandel en vermindering van belastingen. Zijn pogingen om via het recht van initiatief de tienden afkoopbaar te stellen, mislukten.

Hij was een van de oprichters van de Overijsselsche Maatschappij van Provinciale welvaart, waarvan hij lang voorzitter was, en riep de Staat- en Landhuishoudkundige congressen in het leven.

Hij maakte als buitengewoon lid deel uit van de Dubbele Kamer in 1840 en 1848 en steunde hervormingsvoorstellen. Ook was hij geruime tijd voor de liberalen (Thorbeckianen) lid van de gemeenteraad te Zwolle, van de Provinciale Staten van Overijssel en de Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal, maar was later alleen voorzitter van de rechtbank.

Lit by a full moon, Yosemite Falls is reflected in a seasonal pond in Cook's Meadow. I was standing on a boardwalk in the meadow, accompanied by a few mosquitos and a deafening chorus of frogs. And a few cars; the light trails are from the traffic on the North Side Drive.


20 acres in St Paul, right outside of Sinton. Currently cultivated. You can continue to farm it or build your custom dream home. Enjoy the peacefulness of living in the county. Bring your horses or cattle and your 4H projects. The possibilities are endless. This tract of land has two paved county roads on two sides. Drive on out and see what a lovely home site this would make. Located a few miles from HWY 77 off HWY 181 give you a quick drive to Portland, Corpus Christi, Refugio and Beeville.


Goretorium made it's debut to the world on September 27, 2012 and we were there to capture every moment of the black carpet. Lots of celebs were in attendance trying to gain the official first look at the "Disneyland of Horror" including the main man himself, creator, director, and all around demented mind,Eli Roth. Inside the main lobby guests walked the Black Carpet, and celebs would strut their stuff, meeting with the press, and conducting interviews. Later, we would join the other lambs, and take part in the slaughter as Las Vegas's only year round haunted experience opened it's doors to the public.
And of course the man of the hour, Eli Roth himself with some very lovely company.
For more celebs be sure to check out our footage from the black carpet below.
We were able to catch up with Eli Roth himself to chat quickly about the grand opening, and some of the fun stuff guests can expect to see.
While it's not really a "ghost story" or has much to do with the Paranormal, the Travel Channel's Zak Bagans was on hand. If there's one person who knows scary, it's this guy.
Now onto the fun stuff. The Goretorium itself is located right on the Vegas strip directly across from The Cosmopolitan Hotel and City Center. Prime real estate for the ultimate horror experience. The view you get from the upper-terrace is nearly unmatched. The main entrance is actually located inside the mall it's attached to, but you can't miss it once inside. There is no real facade, it's just a large open space. Once your in though you are engulfed in the horror, and there's no escape.
A dazzling chandelier is contrasted by images of mangled faces and bright neon signs, creating a very unique feeling of glamour and impending doom.
Bloody Mary's is a quick service bar located right at the entrance, guests visiting the mall can stop by for one of Mary's famous drinks, no mirrors required.
Bloody Mary herself makes occasional appearances inside the Goretorium, showcasing the secret ingredients in each of her drinks. Mary isn't your run of the mill bartender, but a very creative special effect. Mary does not have a lower torso, but underneath her is a tube that drips with blood which then divides itself into a series of smaller tubes each leading into a separate part of the bar. It's quite a disturbing but fun effect and Mary's presence does add some entertainment value while guests are waiting in line for the attraction. It's gross, but tons of fun!
The main lobby is hauntingly beautiful, but surprisingly free from gore. In fact it's probably the one place that you won't find blood, body parts or mangled faces in the whole place. The gift shop, however, offers more than a fair share.
There are some very disturbing pieces of artwork inside the shop that could very easily offend some people… it's pretty damn fantastic! Body parts, mutilated faces, heads, pretty much any form or torture can be found inside of this small room, the definite influence from Eli Roth's Hostel films being felt. The merchandise itself is pretty basic at the moment. Shirts, Hats, anything you would expect to find in the gift shop you encounter.
Typical employee uniforms include black, with blood splattered aprons. There is blood being shed by all these helpless tourists, and you really have to watch that you don't get any on you…bloodstains are really hell to get out, and tend to be incriminating evidence.
Now on to the really fun stuff-the attraction itself. Before continuing I must warn you that there will be SOME spoilers ahead but I won't give away the whole attraction. Also, media was not permitted to film or photograph the attraction, so bare with me on this description of some scenes and review. Besides, you don't want everything spoiled for you, do you?
Before you check out the review, check out more pictures from the red carpet!
The attraction starts off in a room just above the main lobby of the Goretorium, a fairly small room used to begin the theme of the maze itself which is of an old 1950's Vegas casino called The Delmont Hotel. In this room you'll find pictures of past guests, a wardrobe rack with your typical Vegas showgirl wear hung across it, and some gorgeous lighting fixtures hung overhead and seen throughout. Nothing really happens in this room. You then move up a small flight of stairs into what is an elevator hub. Some shafts are open, others are closed but it's insanely detailed and they placed a really good scare in this room, won't tell you what happens but stay clear of elevator 1. A bellhop/elevator service man begins to tell the story of The Delmont and it's past owners and how they both committed suicide. He is interrupted by a teen taking pictures of the room, he asks the teenager to stop taking pictures of the room. A large elevator door opens and you load in. The bellhop then tells you where you are going to take your tour and is interrupted again by teen snapping pictures with his cell phone. He then grabs the teen, pulls him out of the elevator, the elevator doors close, and the shadow of the teen getting massacred through an elevator window can be seen. You begin to move upward on the elevator and you suddenly stop with a huge thump. Then a mad man can be seen through the top of the elevator telling guest that they are going to die, how cursed they will be and how we will go to hell. He then cuts the line supporting the elevator and the elevator begins to fall, each floor can be seen moving upward through the window/shadow effect and the entire room is shaking violently creating a really spectacular effect. You then crash at the bottom and the door opens. You begin your tour through The Delmont hotel.
From that point on it becomes more of a traditional walk through maze with some rather impressive interactive elements and scares. For example, in a kitchen scene, a demon-chef asked me if I was hungry. I said "hell yeah", and he then grabs a girl and places her face on the stove. Sizzling sounds are heard and her face is lifted off the grill and is now burned up.
Goretorium does a lot of interactive gags similar to that throughout the maze which really separates it from being just another high-end walk through attraction. The scenes are very chaotic which I personally like, and the talent really worked it. Hopefully they can keep this level of energy up for years to come.
Throughout the attraction you see some pretty wild stuff including live dismemberment, people going through meat grinders, cannibalism, torture, zombies, and lots of death. Which is fun.
Overall Goretorium sets a new standard of haunted attraction that could only come from the disgustedly delightful mind of Eli Roth. There did not seem to be a dull part of the maze, however the ending (which I will not spoil) did come as a surprise to many people. It was fun, just very unexpected. My only real complaint is that the maze does get difficult to navigate at some points with no indication of where to go, with the combination of service corridors made for talent, I found myself going in the wrong direction (since I was leading the group) at least twice. Some themed signs could really help this attraction and make it absolutely perfect. The running time of the maze can vary from about 7 minutes to 12 minutes depending on how fast you walk through. But in an attraction with as much detail and love put into it, it's worth staying in the back of the line to enjoy the stunning sets and awesome practical effects. While the haunt season is just about to get roaring into full swing, if you can't make it out just yet, don't worry. Goretorium will be open year round, and will offer different changes depending on the seasons, and may eventually coincide with different horror movie premieres.
Once outside the Delmont, if you survive, you can hang out in the ultra cool Babydolls. It's a nightclub like no other, with zombie go go dancers that are fed live food once an hour. We'd like to tell you more, or even show you more, but we were asked to leave within minutes of arriving due to a VIP function that was closed to us and others.
Goretorium is a brand new experience, so before you go, here's a few things to know to make the experience more fun, and get the most out of your trip to the Delmont.
Hours of operation-The hours for the haunt (they are listed on the website, but only briefly) are Wednesday through Sunday from 7p.m. to 2a.m. The hours for Babydolls lounge are 8p.m. to 2a.m.
Buy your tickets online-Just as at any theme park, tickets are best purchased online. You'll avoid long lines at the box office, and be able to make it through faster.
Get there early-Just as at any theme park, you'll want to be at Goretorium before the gates open. You might also want to squeeze in a last minute run, but with the first few weeks of operation, leading up to Halloween, you'll most likely want to do it early.

Winter keeps a tight grip on the Alps. It remains relatively cold for the foreseeable future with further chances for snow at times. Right now, the heaviest and most widespread snowfall is likely to be on Sunday. This time there is more snow in the forecast for the northern French Alps and the Pyrenees.
The long term remains pretty changeable as there is no longer any question of a strong western jet stream. The jet stream meanders over Europe as a river.
There's a low pressure area north of the Alps and a high pressure west of the Alps on the map again this weekend. The result is a strong current from the north. It just remains cold and more snow is coming down.
Low-pressure areas regularly cause snowfall in the northern Alps. Between Sunday and Wednesday it snows intensely from time to time in the north-northwest.
On Saturday the focus is on the northern Alps. Sunday and Monday, the emphasis is more on the northern French Alps. By Monday the snow accumulation is estimated to be between 20 and 40 cm in the northern Alps, a bit more in the French Alps. Here, between 35 and 45cm of snow is possible. The Pyrenees may welcome well over a 80cm of fresh snow. Locally 140cm is vey well possible.
For the southern Alps there is virtually no fresh snow. There have not been many big snowfalls in Italy so far this winter, but currently, the snow in Southwestern Europe is moving East and has come over the border into the Piemonte region north of Nice.
Of all ski resorts the ones in northern Italy have one of the lowest snow depth, except for ski resorts close to the Swiss and Austrian border. The Dolomites and more specifically the Sella Ronda haven't seen any fresh snow in over a month. But, the artificial snow making facilities are doing a great job keeping snow conditions very acceptable.

Q: Can I query stored procs in all databases with one query without dynamic sql If I want to query all databases on a server to see if a stored procedure is present, I can combine a sp_executesql and run a cursor over a query similar to the following:
SELECT
     'select ' + '''' + name + '''' + ', name from [' + name
   + '].sys.procedures WHERE name = ''usp_MyProc'' COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI '
FROM sys.databases
-- I get a collation error from the following
WHERE name NOT IN ('ReportServer', 'ReportServerTempDb');

Can I do the same thing without dynamic sql and without the cursor?

A: You can do it without the cursor (or without a cursor-like operation). For example you can do it slightly differently like this:
DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET @sql = N'';

SELECT @sql = @sql + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
  + N'select ''' + db.name + ''', p.name
        from ' + QUOTENAME(db.name) + N'.sys.procedures AS p
        WHERE p.name = N''usp_MyProc''
        COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI;'
    FROM sys.databases AS db -- WHERE ...;

EXEC sp_executesql @sql;

You can also avoid multiple result sets going back by doing this:
CREATE TABLE #x(d SYSNAME, n SYSNAME);

DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET @sql = N'';

SELECT @sql = @sql + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
  + N'insert #x select ''' + db.name + ''', p.name
        FROM ' + QUOTENAME(db.name) + N'.sys.procedures AS p
        WHERE p.name = N''usp_MyProc''
        COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI;'
    FROM sys.databases AS db -- WHERE ...;

EXEC sp_executesql @sql;

SELECT d, n FROM #x ORDER BY d, n;

If you're really only after a single, specific stored procedure though, see Martin's answer.

A: You can use the undocumented stored procedure sp_msforeachdb.
Here's one article for you: SQL Server Undocumented Stored Procedures sp_MSforeachtable and sp_MSforeachdb by Gregory A. Larsen.
But you should also read:

*

*Bad habits to kick : relying on undocumented behavior by Aaron Bertrand.

A:
Can I do the same thing without dynamic sql and without the cursor?

Yes. As long as the procedure is known to be in the same schema in all databases. For example to find all databases containing a procedure called dbo.usp_MyProc you can use
SELECT name
FROM sys.databases
WHERE OBJECT_ID(QUOTENAME(name) + '.dbo.usp_MyProc', 'P') IS NOT NULL

"Why did you move to Australia?"
Warning: You may never return home.

Large Population of Migrants in Australia
Expat Support Network
Have questions about moving to Australia from the UK? Then check out the Sydney Moving Guide Questions & Answers Forum.
Have questions about your move to Australia? Then check out the SMG Questions & Answers Forum.
I get asked this question a lot when I go back home to Seattle for a visit.
The easy answer is "that's where the job offer was" but what really made us decide to move was everyone we had talked to that had been to Sydney LOVED IT.
Not just a "yeah, Sydney, it's pretty cool" but more of a "Oh my God, Sydney is awesome! It's gorgeous there."
When we asked if they would move to Sydney the response was always "In a heartbeat!".
That might sound extreme, but it's true.
I've met several expats who originally arrived in Australia as backpackers on holiday, now 10 years later they're Australian citizens and couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
I have two friends who were originally American expats on Temporary Skill Shortage Visas (TSS Visa). Both went home after 4 years only to return to Sydney a year and a half later.
They missed it that much.
Consider yourself warned. Those who fall in love with Sydney usually fall HARD.
The truth is Australia is an easy country to move to and live as an expat in, especially if you are from North America or the UK.
Of course one of the main reasons is that you already speak the language even though Australian English is different from American English, you'll get the swing of it in no time.
RELATED: How to Determine Your Sydney Salary Before You Move
There are so many logistical parts to moving to Australia (or just overseas in general) that speaking your native language makes things much easier and less stressful.
I am not saying it will be stress free but just easier.
When you get here you will have to find an apartment or house to rent, settle in at work, open a bank account, get your internet and mobile phones set up and so much more.
Being fluent in English is a definite bonus for newly arriving immigrants and expats.
The Australian government continually encourages people to immigrate to Australia for work or school.
Part of this encouragement means that you won't be alone. In fact the migrant population in Australia continually rises by an impressive percentage every year.
In 2011 ABC News reported that there were 6 million migrants living in Australia. That number has only grown since then.
Majority of newly arriving migrants settle in New South Wales, mostly in Sydney. It is not uncommon to hear Italian, French, Portuguese or German spoken when walking through the city.
The large migrant population gives Sydney a distinct international flair not found in other large cities.
Sydneysiders are usually very welcoming and accommodating to foreigners.
I enjoy watching the evening news in French, even though I don't understand a word it's interesting to see world news from a different perspective, followed by an Austrian TV show about a police dog that solves crimes.
It is not the best cop show on TV but the fact that it's in German makes it a novelty to me, definitely not something I would see on TV back home in the States.
The large population of expats in Australia makes it easy to make new friends and meet others who are also new to the city. I recommend checking out a couple of the expat groups, either the large international groups or one from your home country.

Ibrahimovic To Join Manchester United
in: Columnists
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is to sign for Manchester United, the Swedish striker has confirmed.
There has been much speculation all summer about the former Paris St. Germain forward; after his contract expired with the French champions, he was able to negotiate a free transfer deal with other clubs, and he has decided to sign what is reportedly a one year deal at Old Trafford.
Ibrahimovic certainly fits the bill of the sort of high profile signing needed to provide a boost after a disappointing season and he said on his Instagram profile that his next destination is Manchester United, posting a picture of the club's crest.
He tweeted 'Time to let the world know' and the tweet has already been retweeted over 40,000 times.

You know it's spring in Ontario Parks when you discover these 10 signs.
Lori Waldbrook of Ontario Parks has put together this list, starting with seeing moose that are salt-depleted by the end of winter.
They head to roadside ditches to lick up road salt especially along Highway 60 in Algonquin Provincial Park.
Then there's hearing the great horned and eastern screech owls and seeing mourning cloak butterflies in forests on sunny days and spotting spring tails, tiny insects that look like black powder on patches of snow and downed wood.
Listen for a chorus of spring peepers – tiny frogs on warm evenings – seeing the sap flow and turning into maple syrup, hearing the chickadees sing and the tundra swans return en route to the Arctic.
You can see buds forming on trees during a spring park hike and see experienced paddlers on an ice-out adventure with higher water levels that allow them to explore areas not accessible by canoe or kayak in the summer.
More details on the Ontario Parks blog.
TORONTO, March 5, 2015 /CNW/ – There is no better time than now to explore the great outdoors and tourism experiences in Northern Ontario. Through its current marketing campaign, the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation (OTMPC) is encouraging visitors to "Explore the Possibilities in Northern Ontario" in 2015.
Working with tourism partners from Northern Ontario, the OTMPC campaign shares the endless, unique and awe-inspiring opportunities available in the North.

The campaign is targeted at visitors from across Ontario, Manitoba, Quebec and the United States. Northern Ontariowill be prominently featured at trade and consumer shows focussed on activities popular in the north such as fresh-water fishing, kayaking adventures and motorcycle touring. Urban areas of the North are providing travellers with ideas: visitors can enjoy a boat ride with beautiful scenery during the day, followed by a delicious culinary dinner and festival concert in the evening.
The magazine will also be directly distributed over the next few months to outdoor enthusiast subscribers of magazines such as Outdoor Canada, Maclean's, Our Canada and National Geographic Traveler (U.S.).

Biological Invaders – Ecology
ambience: dawn chorus, Ventana Wilderness
This week, we've been hearing about invasive species – plants and animals that move into foreign ecosystems and cause serious environmental damage. Well, one guess as to which is the most invasive species of all. I'm Jim Metzner, and this is the Pulse of the Planet.
"In the strict definition of the term invasive species, which means a species that's moved outside of its range of origin and is starting to expand out of control, human beings are the great invasive species."
Ecologist Mark Lonsdale specializes in the study of invasive species. He says that not only do humans move other species to new locations, by intent or accident, but we also make it easier by our actions for a new species to take hold.
"What they're doing is opening up and making way for other invasive species to follow. So as we move through the landscape, clearing vegetation, using our fertilizers, opening up vegetation for agriculture, invasive species follow in our wake. One thing that has emerged is that damaged ecosystems do tend to be very susceptible to invasions. You create gaps and species will come in and colonize those gaps."
And there are very practical reasons to be concerned about invasive species.
"In Australia, about 20% of the value of our grain crop is expended on weed control – and these weeds are all invasive species. And for America there's a tremendous cost to you as well, which has been recognized by successive governments and by a series of big studies. They really are not just a biodiversity impact but also an economic impact."

Q: How much to use the netty pipeline Currently I am implementing a simple Http Server using netty. I'm wondering how much to utilize the pipeline. For example should I do authentication in the pipeline? Should I determine where to route a request in the pipeline?
I know it's not effective to change the structure of the pipeline, but what are the advantages of spreading out the processing?

A: Inbound messages are processed in network threads and any additional activities will block receiving and sending other messages by this channel.
Likely it is reasonable to left deserialization only in the pipeline and do other tasks in separate application threads.

A: The advantage of implementing your server with multiple modularized ChannelHandlers is that it encourages the separation of concerns. Although longer pipeline will yield more overhead, you should take into account that it's really a matter of trade-off.  Also, even if the runtime manipulation of pipeline configruation might be expensive, it shouldn't be very expensive as long as you have to manipulate the pipeline very often.

OTTAWA, January 30, 2017 – Today, the Honourable Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, released the following statement related to last night's shooting incident at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec City.
"Our heartfelt sympathies are with the families and friends of those affected by this horrific attack in Quebec City. We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life and our thoughts go out to the community in this difficult time.
I am being briefed regularly on the situation and commend the efforts of the Quebec Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) for their swift response to this incident. This is the result of the close collaboration of the Quebec Police Management against Terrorism framework, which allows the relevant agencies to work very closely and effectively to keep the public safe.
At this time, the National Terrorism Threat Level for Canada remains at 'medium' where it has stood since 2014.
The Government of Canada monitors all potential threats and has robust measures in place to address them. However, Canadians should always be alert to the danger of terrorism and report any suspicious activity to the National Security Tip Line (1-800-420-5805) or by contacting their local police.
Our government stands firm in our commitment to protect this country from terrorists and the fear they hope to cause. Canada will stay vigilant and united, and continue to safeguard our rights and freedoms.
I'd also like to add that the call for applications under the Security Infrastructure Program was scheduled to close tomorrow. The Department of Public Safety will extend that deadline, so that places of worship, community centres, and educational institutions have a chance to re-examine their security infrastructure – and consider bolstering it.


When it comes to enforcement of the new 0.50% global sulfur cap on marine fuel, ship owners need support, not just simple warnings, says Panos Kirnidis, CEO of Palau International Ship Registry (PISR).
Exactly how IMO 2020 will be enforced remains as one of the new cap's big questions, with the authorities' handling of fuel oil nonavailability reports (FONAR), the decision by some ports to ban open-loop scrubbing, and a lack of consistent penalty schemes among the major uncertainties.
"The global sulphur cap is just another pressure on ship owners and also captains and crew and we need to recognise that many operators in the shipping world need people they can talk to and advice that keeps them sailing," says Kirnidis.
Kirnidis says a rise in the use of "smart technology" will help in providing such support, and points to his registry's own Deficiency Prevention System (DPS) as an example.
"[DPS] is a dedicated service providing support to prevent deficiencies and detentions causing serious implications with PSC. We operate a dedicated department within PISR which monitors the location and destination of the Palau flagged vessels and analyses with over 93% confidence their risk performance and priority for inspection by a PSCO," he says.
While Kirnidis notes the importance of adhering to and enforcing global standards, he says some ship owners take a negative view on both Port State Control (PSC) and the IMO as "regulatory policeman" and a source of financial and operational problems.
"Continuing threats are no way to keep the industry in check. We don't believe this is a productive way to keep the shipping world moving," he says.
