Judge sentences Lindsay Lohan to jail [Updated]
July 6, 2010 | 3:22 pm
A Beverly Hills judge ruled Tuesday that Lindsay Lohan violated the terms of her probation in a drunk-driving case when she failed to attend alcohol education classes and sentenced her to 90 days in jail.
Judge Marsha N. Revel stated several instances over the last few years in which the actress lied about taking drugs and drinking.
"It's like someone who cheats but doesn't think it's cheating if they don't get caught," Revel said.
[Updated at 3:47 p.m.: The judge said that Lohan had repeatedly deceived authorities following her first drunk-driving arrest in 2007. She said Lohan lied by pretending she was not the driver in that case. Two months later Lohan was arrested for drunk driving.
"Once again she lied about her driving," Revel said.
The judge said Lohan again lied when a white substance was found in her pants and tried to say they were someone's else pants. Revel said she tested positive for cocaine after the arrest.
"She lied then and lied prior to that," Revel said.
In addition to 90 days in jail, the judge sentenced Lohan to 90 days in a drug rehab center.]
Before sentencing, a tearful Lohan addressed the court, saying "as far as I knew I was in compliance with my programs."
"I wasn't trying to get special treatment," the actress said. "I have to provide for myself. I have to work. Having said that, I did everything to balance my jobs and showing up. I'm not taking this as a joke. It's my life. It's my career. ... I take responsibility for my actions. I've tried to do the best I can. It's been such a long haul, I don't want you to think that I don't respect you."
Prosecutors had argued that the star of "Mean Girls," "Freaky Friday" and "Herbie Fully Loaded" failed to comply with the weekly attendance directive for her alcohol education classes. An operator of the class testified that Lohan had nine absences.
Revel was critical of program operator Cheryl Marshall for failing to report Lohan's absences to the court before the actress had her bail revoked when the alarm on her alcohol monitoring device was triggered on June 6. That was the same night that Lohan attended the MTV Movie Awards.
[Updated at 12:41 a.m. July 7: An earlier version of this post incorrectly said Lohan's alcohol monitoring device was triggered the night that Lohan had attended the MTV Music Awards.]
Under questions from the prosecutor, Marshall told the court that Lohan did not sign in on some days the program claimed she had attended and that her signature was on a sign-in sheet on a day she did not attend. Marshall revealed Lohan never attended group meetings but opted for one-on-one sessions because of privacy concerns.
Defense attorney Shawn Chapman Holley argued that Lohan was "absolutely on track to finish the program" and had complied with most of the court's orders.
In considering her punishment, Revel said she considered whether Lohan violated her probation only for the actress' failure to attend some scheduled alcohol education classes, not because the alcohol-detection bracelet that Lohan was ordered to wear had been triggered following the MTV Movie Awards.
On June 8, Revel issued an arrest warrant for Lohan after the alarm on her monitoring device was triggered. The alarm typically sounds when the bracelet is tampered with or if the person wearing it consumes alcohol. The SCRAM device, or Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor, checks for traces of alcohol in the air above the user's skin.
Revel ordered Lohan to be fitted with the device May 24 after Lohan failed to show up the previous week for a mandatory progress review on whether she was abiding by the terms of her probation.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Biola University. I then received a Masters of Arts in Clinical Psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) at the California School of Professional Psychology in Alhambra (currently, Alliant University).
I was licensed by the California Board of Psychology in March of 2001 and became a Registered Play Therapist and Supervisor in December 2004. I have had a great deal of training and supervision in play therapy as well as training in art therapy and sandtray/sandplay therapy.
At this time, I am not certified or qualified to practice biofeedback, neurofeedback, or EMDR
For my doctoral project in graduate school, I created a conflict resolution board game. In October of 2001, that game was published by Western Psychological Services (WPS). The game is called Peacetown: A Conflict Resolution Board Game. It is available for purchase through this website.
The game is targeted for children 7 to 12 years old, but can be modified to work with younger and older children. I designed the game to work in a small group setting with up to six players, but the game can also be used in individual therapy. The game teaches and reviews basic conflict resolution skills, such as taking turns, sharing, and compromising, but then goes on to focus on more complex conflict resolution skills, such as respecting differences, communicating feelings, and attacking the problem, not the person.
I have created another therapy board game, Family Quest: A Family Therapy Board Game, which has been released and is now available for purchase. It is a family therapy game that gives family members the opportunity to interact and get to know one another better.
There is a travel version of Family Quest available called Family Quest On The Go!. Now, you can take the family fun of Family Quest with you anywhere!

Each piece of this silk collection tells the story of an artist with a unique journey and contributes to the cause of mental health by donating 10% of the profits to the non profit organization Les Impatients.
The Artist Pierre Ostiguy
Pierre Ostiguy developed his style through a combination of teaching himself to paint and attending classes after graduating from the Cégep of Granby Haute-Yamaska in 1971.
"Art was his refuge," his psychologist Sandra Villeneuve says, "his only pleasure. Art gave him a social status. A role more brilliant than that of a sick person. It was his hope for the future, his engine to continue."
Pierre's art reflects his mental states and the turbulence he lived through in his life. Sadly, growing illness forced him to withdraw from the artistic community. Between 2007 and 2009, Pierre stayed in contact with Les Impatients while in isolation, writing over 400 letters to the organization.
He passed away in September 2009 of lung disease. After his death, his works were incorporated into Les Impatients' collection by Dr. André Delorme. The gallery of Les Impatients and Boréart, Granby, organized a posthumous exhibition of his artwork in 2011.

The Misery Machine – True Crime is boring. We're fixing that.
There's a problem with True Crime.
Creators are idolizing perpetrators, shaming victims, or being completely checked out on cases while they focus on other things. However, we can't forget there are victims who lost their lives and families who are still grieving to this day.
The Misery Machine is a podcast that focuses on cases the media fails to give proper attention, especially local and missing persons cases. We want to help give those a voice that never got to have one to begin with, and bring light to cases desperately needing more resources. We also cover aspects of cases that other podcasts might look the other way on such as mental health and social issues, and the way that these cases impact their communities for generations.
It's not enough to simply cover a case, our platform must be used to make a difference.
True Crime is boring, we're fixing that.
The Misery Machine

On December 7th, 2022, deputies from the Citrus County Sheriff's Office descended upon a home with regards to a complaint of animal cruelty. The house, located at 15 Clifford Drive in Beverly Hills, Florida, was owned by 38 year old Shannon Marie Morgan. However, when they arrived at the home at approximately 6:56pm, they bore witness to what could only be described as something straight out of a horror film of the worst kind.

Today We Remember FF Paul Beyer, Engine Co. 6, FDNY
Today we remember Firefighter Paul Beyer, Engine Co. 6, FDNY. He was killed on September 11th, 2001.
The 37-year-old lifelong Staten Island resident, like the rest of his Engine Co. 6 crew, was due to finish his shift when the firefighters heard a loud explosion. As they neared One Police Plaza returning to their Beekman Street firehouse from another call, a police officer pointed to the World Trade Center, where billows of smoke were beginning to pour out of the upper floors. They immediately headed over.
Beyer's friend and co-worker, William Green, who was with Beyer when they headed to the World Trade Center, recounted the events of that day: "Paul was gearing up like all of us when we got there. We were heading in to put out that fire, but getting up those stairs was very fatiguing. We regrouped at the 17th floor, and took a short break."
He said that firefighters were scrambling to find change to purchase water from a vending machine because of dehydration and exhaustion. Green axed the vending machine; water bottles were readily available for all. Green and Beyer were amused. "Paul and I actually laughed when I axed the vending machine," Green said.
The men of Engine 6 headed up to the 31st floor of Tower One and caught their breath. "A lieutenant from Engine 10 told us we had to make a push," Green said. The two men headed up again, but became separated by two floors. Beyer, who didn't have a radio, didn't receive evacuation orders.
No matter how bad a situation was Beyer was known for trying to keep everyone calm, whether it was by way of a humorous story or a soothing word. It was with that same attitude that he approached the escalating disaster at the World Trade Center.
A firefighter from another company later told Mrs. Beyer that on Sept. 11th he had been very frightened until he looked at the calm determination in Beyer's face.
Paul was known as a strong firefighter who preformed his job with courage and integrity, fulfilling his lifelong dream. A fellow firefighter eulogized him as being "a tiger at heart, a real Superman. He never complained, never got angry, and didn't talk the talk; he walked the walk."
Paul was always there for family and friends. He was a loving father and husband, and spent a lot of time with his two boys. He was very proud of them.
He had a warm smile, quiet sense of humor, and great hugs. He was great cook and was known for his lemon chicken and twice-baked potatoes. He also made it a weekly tradition to prepare his "ultimate pancakes" for his wife on Saturday mornings and eggs on Sunday.

Like many entrepreneurs who discover that business as usual isn't getting them where they need to go, the leadership team at UTComp is rethinking some basic assumptions about their business and its positioning in the marketplace.
With the help of the Innovation Guelph (IG) Fast Lane program, the Cambridge, Ont. based boutique engineering firm has adopted a new marketing communications plan and retooled its sales strategies and tactics.
"We've experienced a paradigm shift working with Innovation Guelph," says Geoff Clarkson, UTComp president and CEO.
Founded in 2007, UTComp specializes in non-destructive and non-intrusive testing of fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks, pipes and other assets as well as FRP engineering and design services for the oil and gas industry, chemical processing, mining, pulp and paper, food processing, and other sectors. The company's innovative ultrasound analysis technology, UltraAnalytix ™, provides clients with a fast, accurate, safe and cost-effective way to assess corrosion and test the strength and condition of FRP assets throughout their life cycle and prevent catastrophic failures that endanger public safety and the environment.
Research at leading university labs and hundreds of customer facilities has validated a number of key advantages of the UltraAnalytix ™ system over industry-standard methods. UTComp serves leading clients in a range of sectors throughout North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Yet despite their successes, the company was having trouble gaining traction — in part because FRP has captured only a tiny fraction of a $3-trillion market dominated by steel products, and because of cultural resistance in some circles to changing traditional testing methods in favour of a new ultrasound-based system.
So in mid-2016, UTComp turned to Innovation Guelph for help connecting with new markets and growing the company.
developing sales strategy and tactics, including ROI messaging and sales campaign tools, as well as revenue forecasting and strategic business planning.
The communications strategy provided a framework that the UTComp team has incorporated in one form or another into everything they do — from technical talks to sales presentations to new branding for UltraAnalytix ™ launched at the NACE Corrosion Conference & Expo in New Orleans March 26-30. Customer prospecting tools, as well as strategies for focusing resources on larger high-potential deals, are helping UT Comp pivot from relying on one-off projects to offering long-term FRP engineering programs that provide more predictable revenue and help support sustained growth.
The effort is already paying dividends, with a number of potentially very large deals on the horizon in the U.S., Europe and Saudi Arabia.


Do you still have a manual for this boat? Specifically, I need the wiring diagram, as the mast was replaced, and the new one has a different plug than the boat. When I unwrapped the wire coming out of the cabin, it has 4 wires, and the white one is broken below the outside shell. The remaining wires are green, blue, and yellow, and I can't find any of them going back to the fuse panel, or anywhere that I can locate .. The mast itself only has 2 wires, going up to the mast light. I am wondering...what are the extra wires coming out of the cabin, can I use one of them as the main wire to the mast light.
You'll find the C&C 24 wiring diagrams in this PDF. I think it will solve your issues; as I remember there was some confusion on my boat as the four wires coming from the cabin switch box didn't match the colors going up the mast.
These three pages show everything you need.
Thank you so much, this is a huge help. If all the lights listed were on the mast, I would now know what they are for. As it is, the only light on the mast is the masthead light, so I managed to use the yellow wire, and moved it in the panel to masthead spot. Can you look up and tell me what size wire I am supposed to have for the stays/ shrouds? The ones on the mast are too short, and I don't trust that they are the right thickness. Before I spend the money to replace them, I want to make sure I get the right ones, they seem pretty small (1/8").
All the standing rigging on the 24 is 3/16" 1x19 I believe.
Thanks to both of you. I am so glad I asked. The ones on the mast are all 1/8, which means they all have to be replaced. Scary, though. Don't know if they would have survived my first sail with this boat. Would it be possible to send me a copy of the manual? I had one, but it burnt up with my house in Connecticut, and don't want to spend another $25 for another.
I'm just about to close a purchase on a '76 C&C 24 without a manual. Does anyone here still have a copy?

Q: Working VBA Macro not working for minor adjustment I have a working VBA code that selects a range of cells(range length I put into an inputBox) in ascending or descending order and highlights them green or red.
I inserted another inputBox(.setValue) and am trying to make the code select a range of cells above or below setValue.
Here is the working code:

Sub AscendingDescending()
    Dim i As Double
    Dim n As Double
    Dim currentValue As Double
    Dim nextValue As Double
    Dim upStatus As Integer
    Dim downStatus As Integer
    Dim elementNum As Integer
    Dim rng As Range

    On Error Resume Next
    Set rng = Application.InputBox( _
      Title:="Starting Cell", _
      Prompt:="Select a Starting cell", _
      Type:=8)
    On Error GoTo 0

    If rng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Set rng = rng.Cells(1, 1)

    rng.Select
    n = Cells(Rows.Count, rng.Column).End(xlUp).Row

    On Error Resume Next
    elementNum = Application.InputBox( _
      Title:="Grouping Elements", _
      Prompt:="Enter of Elements in a Group", _
      Type:=1)
    On Error GoTo 0

    upStatus = 1
    downStatus = 1
    i = 1
    Do Until i > n
        currentValue = ActiveCell.Value
        nextValue = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value
        If nextValue > currentValue Then
            upStatus = upStatus + 1
            downStatus = 1
        ElseIf nextValue < currentValue Then
            upStatus = 1
            downStatus = downStatus + 1
        Else
            upStatus = 1
            downStatus = 1
        End If

        If upStatus = elementNum Then
            ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
            i = i + 1
            Range(ActiveCell.Offset(-elementNum + 1, 0), ActiveCell).Interior.Color = rgbGreen
        ElseIf downStatus = elementNum Then
            ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
            i = i + 1
            Range(ActiveCell.Offset(-elementNum + 1, 0), ActiveCell).Interior.Color = rgbRed
        Else

        End If

        ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
        i = i + 1
    Loop

End Sub

Here is the working code photo
Here is the code that isn't selecting only above or below the setValue chosen beforehand:
    Dim i As Double
    Dim n As Double
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim currentValue As Double
    Dim setValue As Double
    Dim nextValue As Double
    Dim upStatus As Integer

    upStatus = 1
    downStatus = 1
    i = 1
    Do Until i > n
        currentValue = ActiveCell.Value
        nextValue = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value
        If currentValue And nextValue > setValue Then
           upStatus = upStatus + 1
           downStatus = 1
        ElseIf currentValue And nextValue < setValue Then
           upStatus = 1
           downStatus = downStatus + 1
        Else
            upStatus = 1
            downStatus = 1
        End If

        If upStatus = elementNum Then
            ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
            i = i + 1
            Range(ActiveCell.Offset(-elementNum + 1, 0), ActiveCell).Interior.Color = rgbGreen
        ElseIf downStatus = elementNum Then

        Else

        End If

        ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
        i = i + 1
    Loop

End Sub

And this is the not working code photo. I selected 3 cells with setvalue being 60, and its going from 50 to 70?

It's back to school time for thousands of kids throughout South Australia. This can often be a stressful time for kids and families, especially if your child is starting school for the first time, or might be starting at a new school.
The team at Novita and the Australian parenting website raisingchildren.net.au have some useful tips that might help families to experience a rewarding and less stressful return to school – and preparation is the key!
Kids will experience a range of back to school emotions – from excitement to anxiety. Lots of love and support, and positive messages about how well you'll think your child will do at school can help to manage the emotions.
A consistent before-school routine for your child and family – including breakfast and preparing for school – is important to make sure your child and all members of your family have a positive start to the day.
An evening routine is also a good idea. Each night before bed let your child help you lay out the next day's clothes or uniform and shoes so that they know the next day is a school day.
On the first day back, and for the first week back, dropping off your child at school well before the morning bell rings can help to avoid anxiety. Collecting your child on time after school can also help to avoid your child feeling anxious.
Your child may also need support once the new school year has started. You could make after-school time special with a snack or some time to chat about their day. Be patient with your child if they want to tell you every detail of their day, or if they don't want to talk about it at all.
It's also quite possible your child could become quite tired after the first few days back at school. Other kids might be full of energy. It's best to gauge your child's energy levels before undertaking after-school activities.

Mörkrets vänstra hand är en science fictionroman från 1969, skriven av Ursula K. Le Guin. Den har kallats en feministisk klassiker, och undersöker vad som händer när könet inte längre definierar människan.

Romanen blev mycket populär, den vann Nebulapriset 1969 och Hugopriset 1970, och etablerade Le Guin som en viktig science fictionförfattare.

En svensk översättning utkom 1975.

Handling
Mörkrets vänstra hand utspelar sig i den Hain-cykel som författarinnan återvänder till i ett stort antal noveller och romaner.

Historien utspelar sig på istidsplaneten Gethen, eller Vinter, där etnologen Genly Ai befinner sig på ett uppdrag för den interplanetära, FN-liknande organisationen "Ekumenen". För Genly Ai är Gethens invånare mycket främmande. De är nämligen androgyna. Större delen av sitt liv lever de som könlösa, vare sig män eller kvinnor, utan helt enkelt människor, utan sexuella frustrationer och förbindelser. De har istället sexuellt aktiva perioder, kemmer, när de kan bli antingen män eller kvinnor, för att sedan återgå till sitt könlösa tillstånd när perioden är över. Det är om Genlys försök att förstå såväl det politiska maktspelet som hela denna främmande kultur boken handlar, hur han måste riva sina egna barriärer och pröva sina egna fördomar.

Kemmer
Kemmer inträffar bara under två till fem dygn under en 26 till 28 dygn lång cykel. Det är normalt att samma individ kan växla mellan manliga och kvinnliga roller under sina olika kemmerperioder, och alltså både bli far och mor. Anmärkningsvärt är att Le Guin beskrev den sexuella föreningen under kemmer som (nästan) uteslutande heterosexuell, något som hon senare beklagat.

Anknytning till Haincykeln
I flera andra romaner i Hain-cykeln, som Exilplaneten och Illusionernas stad, antyds det att de olika, mänskliga varelserna, inklusive de på Jorden, skulle kunna vara följden av genetiska experiment från Hainfolkets sida (Hain är den planet som, enligt Haincykelns alternativa verklighet, mänskligheten uppstod på. Ursula Le Guin ville emellertid inte beskriva romanerna som en del i någon egentlig cykel, men medgav att det fanns ett visst, tydligt samband mellan dem ["some clear connections among them"]). Det är emellertid först i denna roman som denna möjlighet beskrivs mer än som bara antydningar.

[Photos] Martial Shirt Number Revealed As He Poses In Man Utd Kit After £36m Move
Manchester United have confirmed the signing of French youngster Anthony Martial from AS Monaco on a four-year deal. See photos of him in his United kit
Fraser Crawford
Deadline day has finally arrived and managers are working hard trying to strengthen their squads for the new season, so we'll bring you all the news and gossip. Today, Man Utd complete the signing of Anthony Martial….
Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Anthony Martial from AS Monaco on a four-year deal with the French youngster handed the number 9 shirt at Old Trafford.
News broke late on Sunday night that United were in talks to sign Martial as Louis van Gaal tried desperately to bring in another versatile attacker during the closing stages of the transfer window.
The French Football Federation then revealed on Monday that the 19-year-old had been given permission to leave the French national squad to travel to England to wrap up his move to Old Trafford.
A medical was completed on Tuesday morning and it appears personal terms were also a formality as United announced they had completed the signing of Martial from Monaco on a long-term deal a short time ago.
A statement on ManUtd.com read:
Manchester United is delighted to announce that Anthony Martial has completed his transfer from AS Monaco. Anthony joins on a four-year contract with the option to extend for a further year.
Having sealed his move, the French youngster told the clubs website that he was excited to be joining Manchester United and couldn't wait to work under van Gaal.
"I am so excited to be joining Manchester United. I have enjoyed my time at AS Monaco and I would like to thank them and the fans for everything they have done for me.
"I have always wanted to play in the Premier League and to join the biggest club in the world is what every young footballer dreams of. I am looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and working with Louis van Gaal who has achieved so much in his career."
van Gaal was also delighted to have wrapped-up the signing of Martial, calling him a natural talent, and the Dutch boss believes Old Trafford is the right place for him to continue his development.
"Anthony is a naturally talented, young, multi-functional forward with great potential. We have been watching him for a while now and he has developed immensely during his time at AS Monaco." van Gaal told ManUtd.com
"I am delighted he has joined Manchester United as I believe this is the right club for him to continue his development as a young player. He has all the attributes to become a top football player; however we need to give him time to adjust to his new environment and the rhythm of the Premier League."
No official fee has been released by either club but the BBC claim United have paid Monaco an initial £36m – making him the most expensive teenager in the history of football – although the fee could rise to £58m depending on performance-based add ons.
United have been in need of attacking reinforcements following the exits of Javier Hernandez to Bayer Leverkusen and Adnan Januzaj to Borussia Dortmund, and Martial is going to be a useful addition as he can play anywhere across the front three positions.
The teenager has scored 15 goals in his 70 appearances for Monaco so far and although he's far from the finished product, he has bags of ability and has the potential to become a world class player over the next few years.
United have now confirmed that Martial will wear the No.9 shirt during the next season which will put added pressure on his young shoulders, but I'm sure he's confident he has what it takes to live up to such an iconic number at Old Trafford.
Here's a photo of United latest signing posing in his new shirt and a tweet confirming his new number.

European Central Bank officials "widely" agreed that their immediate reaction to the outcome of the U.K.'s referendum shouldn't fuel excessive speculation about more stimulus.
"The view was widely shared that the Governing Council needed to reiterate its capacity and readiness to act, if warranted, to achieve its objective, using all the instruments available within its mandate, while not fostering undue expectations about the future course of monetary policy," according to an account of the July 20-21 meeting published on Thursday.
The U.K.'s decision to quit the European Union triggered pledges from central bankers across the region that they would do what is needed to minimize the economic fallout. While the ECB kept its stimulus unchanged in July, with President Mario Draghi saying it was too soon to gauge the impact of Brexit on the euro area, the Bank of England announced a package of measures the following month as it cut its benchmark rate to a record-low 0.25 percent.
In formulating Draghi's statement, policy makers sought to acknowledge the Brexit-related risks, yet remain reasonably positive about the economic outlook. While they noted there was "solid evidence" to prove measures taken so far were effective, they also stressed that the full impact hasn't yet filtered through.
Officials decided that it was "premature" to discuss any potential policy reaction "at this stage." They made a "strong call" for European governments to limit uncertainty surrounding exit negotiations and provide a clear vision for the future path of the EU.
Surveys published since the ECB's last meeting have signaled that businesses and investors in the currency bloc are largely weathering the Brexit shock so far. Still, the data also showed growth cooled in the second quarter, with Germany carrying weaker French and Italian economies.
Inflation was 0.2 percent in July, still far below the ECB's target of just under 2 percent, with core inflation running at 0.9 percent.
Officials noted "divergent" indicators of long-term inflation expectations. While survey-based measures have shown "greater resilience," market-based gauges remain close to record lows. Council members called those levels "a source of concern," but also pointed to technical factors that might distort the data.
They reiterated their view that inflation rates would pick up over the coming years as stimulus works its way through the system to companies and households, the account showed.
Policy makers referred to an apparent link between bank stock-price valuations and lending volumes. While equity-price volatility wasn't necessarily a concern, it could hurt the transmission mechanism, they said.
In the run-up to the July meeting, economists surveyed by Bloomberg predicted that ECB stimulus would be expanded as early as September, with some predicting that the central bank would have to change the rules of its asset-purchase program amid a shortage of securities. Draghi said after the meeting that the Governing Council hadn't discussed specific instruments.
Policy makers will receive another set of inflation and economic confidence data, as well as a gauge for private-sector growth, before their next policy meeting, which is scheduled for Sept. 8.

Wilson to Congress: Criminal Reporting Problem is "Systemic" Issue; Vance T-6 Grounding Lifted; USAF's First KC-46 Takes Flight
—Doug Birkey, Wilson Brissett, Brian Everstine, and Amy McCullough12/7/2017
Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson told members of Congress on Wednesday the service's failure to report the criminal background of the Texas church shooter was not an isolated case, noting the service has a "systemic" problem it is working to address. Air Force photo by TSgt. Joseph Zuccaro.
Air Force Taking Steps to Correct "Systemic Problems" with Criminal Reporting
The ongoing Air Force review of its criminal reporting practices has found "the breakdown in reporting was not limited" to the case of the Texas shooter or the "detachment at Holloman Air Force Base" in New Mexico that failed to report his previous military conviction to the FBI, service Secretary Heather Wilson told Congress Wednesday. The investigation has uncovered "systemic problems," she told the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the service is already taking steps to improve its reporting. Also on Wednesday, a second family filed claims against the Air Force for its failure to report the domestic violence that would have prevented the shooter from purchasing a weapon. Read the full story by Wilson Brissett.
Information Will be King in Future Warfare
Future success in warfare will no longer be determined by who owns the best "things," such as planes ships, tanks, and satellites. Instead, it will come down to who does the best job harnessing information to put assets in the right time and place to prudently yield effects, said panelists at the West Coast Aerospace Forum, a joint venture between AFA's Mitchell Institute, RAND's Project Air Force, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the Aerospace Corporation. Read the full story by Doug Birkey.
Clarifying the Cost of Cyber Attacks
To address the proliferation of global cyber threats today, the US military must "convince a potential adversary that the costs of conducting a cyber attack outweigh any potential benefits," said USAF Maj. Gen. Ed Wilson, the deputy principal cyber advisor to the Secretary of Defense, according to a Department of Defense release. The route to achieving this goal is by "strengthening our cyber defenses and reducing our attack surface," Wilson told the audience at a George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies event in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Doing so will improve US cyber resiliency, Wilson said, so that "even if any single attack is successful, we can reconstitute quickly so that our adversary's ultimate objective will not be achieved." He also praised the work of the Marshall Center's Program on Cyber Security Studies for its role in "building trust and confidence" for the cyber mission between the US and its partner nations. "We have more than 50 countries' key cyber professionals represented here in this program right now, who will be sharing their best practices on how to develop the human capital across the international front," Wilson said.
Vance T-6s Resume Flying Operations
Vance AFB, Okla., resumed T-6A flying operations on Tuesday following a 20-day grounding after pilots reported four "physiological events" in November. While T-6s returned to the air, Air Force inspectors still have not found a root cause for the physiological events, according to a Vance release. A team of aviation, medical, functional, and industry experts investigated, but were unable to identify a problem. The investigation will continue as flights resume. "We are actively using lessons learned across the aeronautics enterprise to determine the cause of these events, and are confident implementing mitigation techniques will enable us to return to our primary mission of training the world's finest aviators," said Col. Darrell Judy, commander of the 71st Flight Training Wing, in the release. —Brian Everstine
US Presence in Syria on a Downward Trend, but Still Open Ended
The US military has 2,000 forces inside Syria and 5,200 forces in Iraq as part of the ongoing fight against ISIS, a number that is trending downward as the fight wanes. ISIS has lost about 97 percent of the territory it held in both countries at its peak, and now only remains in small pockets. The US mission has shifted, now focusing on maintaining the gains and helping allied forces become security forces to maintain stability, Pentagon spokesman US Army Col. Rob Manning told reporters on Wednesday. The released tallies are current as of Wednesday, and does not include about 400 US Marines who have left Syria as fighting decreased. The US will maintain a "conditions-based" presence inside Syria to assist Syrian Democratic Forces. —Brian Everstine
First USAF KC-46A Flies
The first Boeing KC-46A Pegasus tanker that will serve operationally with the Air Force—the seventh built so far—made its first flight Dec. 5, completing a three-and-a-half hour mission to check its systems. Boeing said the jet will be delivered to the service "next year." The tanker flew to 39,000 feet on an FAA-approved flight profile that assessed its engines, flight controls, and environmental systems. Before making a second flight, it will undergo a ground inspection and its instrumentation will be calibrated. The other six KC-46As continue with the Air Force test flight program. They have so far accumulated 2,200 flight hours and performed more than 1,600 refueling contacts with a range of "fast" and "slow" aircraft including A-10, AV-8B, F-16, and F/A-18 fighters, C-17 airlifters, KC-10 and other KC-46 aerial tankers. Air Force KC-46 System Program Manager Col. John Newberry said the flight is "another milestone for the Air Force/Boeing team and helps move us closer to delivering operational aircraft." Boeing is on contract for 34 Pegasus aircraft out of a planned 179 in the KC-X program. In addition to its ability to refuel all types of US and allied aircraft, the KC-46 can be configured to carry cargo, patients, and passengers. —John A. Tirpak
MQ-9, C-130s Joint Fight Against California Wildfires
An MQ-9 Reaper and two California Air National Guard C-130Js have joined the fight against growing wildfires in Southern California. The two specially equipped C-130Js, from the 146th Airlift Wing, and the Reaper from the 163rd Attack Wing, are based at the Channel Islands ANGS, Calif., and began flying Tuesday night as wildfires raged through Ventura County, Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Rob Manning told reporters on Wednesday. The C-130s are equipped with the Modular Airborne FireFighting System. CalFire has issued mandatory evacuations as the Ventura County fires have burned more than 65,000 acres near Highway 150 and Highway 126 north of Santa Paula. —Brian Everstine

RUSH: Say, folks, before we get outta here, I want to strongly suggest a book to you. It's James O'Keefe's latest. It's called American Pravda. We just had the call from the guy in Port Huron whose post on Facebook was taken down because it came from me. The work that O'Keefe has done is his latest operation exposing what really goes on at Twitter, how politically biased and discriminatory it is, it may be — and this is saying something.
It may be his best work.
O'Keefe is doing the kind of things that, if anybody can, maybe can change journalism. It's a big "if," but, if anybody can do it, he could. This book, American Pravda, details some of the operations they worked at with Twitter. But it will blow your mind what Twitter is doing and how Twitter operates, and you really need to find out about it. It's an entertaining read, and it'll inspire you, and you'll be thankful that there's a guy named James O'Keefe doing what he's doing. It's American Pravda.

Compare Medieval Latin rasorium.
As a verb, by 1827 as "shave with a razor," 1937 as "assault with a razor." The razor clam (1835, American English) is so called because its shell resembles an old folding straight-razor. Razor edge, figurative of sharpness or a fine surface, is by 1680s. Razor-blade is attested by 1816.

Advertisements are now so numerous that they are very negligently perused, and it is therefore become necessary to gain attention by magnificence of promises and by eloquence sometimes sublime and sometimes pathetick. Promise, large promise, is the soul of an advertisement. I remember a washball that had a quality truly wonderful—it gave an exquisite edge to the razor! ... The trade of advertising is now so near to perfection that it is not easy to propose any improvement. [Johnson, "The Idler," Jan. 20, 1758]
safety (n.)
early 14c., savete, "freedom or immunity from harm or danger; an unharmed or uninjured state or condition," from Old French sauvete, salvete "safety, safeguard; salvation; security, surety," earlier salvetet (11c., Modern French sauveté), from Medieval Latin salvitatem (nominative salvitas) "safety," from Latin salvus "uninjured, in good health, safe" (from PIE root *sol- "whole, well-kept"). From late 14c. as "means or instrument of safety, a safeguard."
The meaning "trigger-lock on a gun" is attested by 1881, perhaps short for safety-lock (1877), etc. As a North American football position, by 1931; as a type of score against one's own team, 1881.
Safety-valve, which diminishes the risk of explosion, is from 1797; figurative sense recorded from 1818. Safety-net in literal sense (in machinery) is by 1916, later of aerial circus performances (1920s); figurative use is by 1950. Safety-bicycle as a name for the modern type, with low, equal-sized wheels and a driving mechanism, is by 1866. Safety-razor is by 1877. A safety-belt (1840) was at first for window washers and firefighters; it was used of restraining straps for airplane pilots by 1911, extended to automobiles by 1948. Safety first as an accident-prevention slogan first recorded 1873.
Safety first, and saving of fuel second, should be the rule in steam engineering. [Scientific American, June 15, 1861]
1596, in reference to the famous London prison, on the site of one of the seven gates in the old London wall (the main gate to the west); this one having been used as a lock-up since the 1100s. So called because it was thought to be more recent than the others (but it apparently dated to Roman times) or because it had been rebuilt at some point. The gate was demolished in the 18c.; the last prison of that name was torn down 1902-3.
Newgate frill, "a beard shaved so as to grow only under the chin and jaw," so called in allusion to the position of the hangman's noose, is by 1851. The author of "The Habits of Good Society" (1859) calls it "a kind of compromise between the beard and the razor."
Both Coleridge and Ruskin praised Thomas Hood's Newgatory.
Hood was addressing the admirable Mrs. Fry, who, as every one knows, set up a school in Newgate to teach the poor neglected outcasts what they had never heard from Christian lips before. One of the chief points made by Hood is this,—how much better, kinder, wiser, more politic even, it would be to multiply these schools outside, not inside the Prison walls, so that prevention might take the place of cure. [Alfred Ainger, preface to "Humorous Poems by Thomas Hood"]
As a literary study, this exquisite pun of Hood's ... deserves the most careful memory, as showing what a noble and instructive lesson even a pun may become, when it is deep in its purpose, and founded on a truth which is perfectly illustrated by the seeming equivocation. [Ruskin, "Fors Clavigera"]

The gown is finished and the most beautiful baby in the world has been baptized into God's family of faith. It is no secret I love a christening gown. I was asked once what item do I still have from childhood that I cherish the most, I immediately answered, "My christening gown." I don't know why and I am sure there is some deep Jungian reason that is beyond my capacity to understand. All that aside, I hold it dear and secretly spirited it from my mother's possession as a teenager and still have it. It hangs in my sewing room. All of my own children were baptized in that gown. Sadly, it is not sturdy enough to withstand another generation's use. The upside of that is, I have the precious opportunity to make a family gown for each of my four children. This is the story of the first of those.
Remember you can click to enlarge the pictures.
Our beautiful mommy holding her baby on the graced occasion of her baptism, October 3, 2010.
It was a gorgeous, crisp fall day, the sun was shining, the leaves were beginning to turn as family and friends gathered to celebrate. And to make it even more special, my husband, an ordained deacon in the Catholic Church was to be the one baptizing this much loved child. God was definitely there in so many ways throughout the day.
All of our children and their significant others were there. My husband always comments when ALL of his children are around the dinner table at one time. I always comment when they are all in the pew at Mass together. We were both happy on Sunday. It is the simple things in life.
I had a heck of a time getting good pictures of the gown on Sunday morning. So I apologize for the pictures not being the best.
The gown is made from silky voile from BessieMary. This is not the most expensive or extravagant fabric but I love it. It is a joy to work with. I love the fact that it keeps its filmy nature after it is washed but yet it sturdy enough to handle the hand embroidery. I lined the bodice with silk organza to give it a bit more oomph to handle the weight of the long skirt.
I used a combination of patterns both by the Old Fashioned Baby. Mommy wanted the skirt of the French Acadian Christening gown and Mimi wanted it smocked, so we combined the skirt with a shortened bodice of the Baby Gowns pattern.
She wanted to reverse the original sized sequence of the "squares" on the skirt, making the largest one on the bottom. She chose the symbols she wanted used and mentioned "the featherstitching" about a dozen times. So I knew that was something she wanted as well.
The shell used to symbolize Baptism is done in chain stitch, back stitch and shadow work. The flourishes to either side are raised satin stitch. The water drops are padded eyelets.
The grapes and wheat on either side of the shadow work cross are stem stitch, granitos, lazy daisies, shadow work and back stitch. It represents Eucharist.
The monogram is raised satin stitch with shadow work and chain stitch lily of the valley. It was her idea to add the lily of the valley embroidery to the monogram, which coordinated with the lily of the valley maline laces used.
I had always planned on using this lace and had collected several widths of insertion and edgings over the years. This is one of my favorite laces. I used a combination of three sizes of lace on the lower skirt with two strips of three pin tucks each to represent the Trinity. The shadow work doves in the corner represent Confirmation.
She wanted three-quarter sleeves but not too puffy and large. So I reduced the sleeve width by 3/4." By concentrating the gathering on the lower edge directly below the sleeve header gathers it still puffs nicely. The bottom of the sleeve is finished with lily of the valley beading/edging threaded with silk satin ribbon. Since I knew the beading lace would add length, I used the newborn length for the 3/4 sleeves. I also inserted lace across the sleeve.
The slip is the one from the Baby Gowns pattern also made from the silky voile. Shell hems finish the neck and armholes with lace edging across the bottom. It was nippy yesterday so mommy had a onesie underneath it all. She is styling her first jewelry gifted by a friend.
I made a size 6 months and it fit perfectly. She weighs between 13 and 14 pounds. The gown is a tad over 39 inches long. Mommy wanted long so that is what she got. It was fastened in the back with two sterling silver beauty pins. Ignore the bright blue paci, we switched it out to a plain white one soon after these pictures were taken.
In the spirit of full disclosure I will admit that there is more feather stitching to be added along the bottom of the skirt and on the sleeves. I will do that this week along with her name and date on the back of the lower skirt. My plan is to do that this week before she has her portraits taken.
There are also some things on the gown that I am not completely happy with, but you will notice I did not point them out. She was beautiful, blessed and baptized and that is what matters.
Here she is with her parents and godparents before Mass.
This is why I sew. I also will admit to a tear or two when we first dressed her. It makes a Mimi's heart sing I tell ya! I hope you, faithful readers, are working on something that makes your heart sing as well.
Sewing something that makes your heart sing. Love that saying. Your work in beautiful.
Finally, been waiting on this post all week....knew it was coming and trying my best to be patient.
You are a treasure, a true gift.....and that is just what you have given to baby Evamarie. Thanks for sharing your wonderful family with all of us!
Thank you for sharing so much of Evamarie's special day, her gown, and the reasons and thoughts behind the designs and symbols. I had never noticed the little doves until you mentioned them! While I love each part -- the design, the smocking, the lace and the embroidery -- the best part is the love. No greater gift. Give those eyes and hands some rest!
Absolutely gorgeous Martha....the baby, the gown, and the entire family!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your life and family with us!!!!
I am starting on a Christening gown tomorrow for my daughter's friend. My own children wore: first one - a gown bought by her aunt, my sister, second one- a gown that I made and that her oldest has worn and that her new baby will be wearing in Dec. and our third, another gown I made. My grands have worn one or another of these three gowns so I haven't made new ones for them.
These are all beautiful that you have made for your childrens' families. I'm sure they are so proud of them and will pass them down for generations to come.
What wonderful picture. My favorite is where Baby is looking up adoringly into her mothers eyes (your can't see Moms whole face but you know). There are many features I love about how you did the gown. One is the way you graduated the size of the lace at the hem. And I love the old fashioned Lilly lace. It has graced many an old Christening Gown.
Beautiful! It is wonderful to create a family heirloom. Your little grand daughter is so sweet and the gown looks perfect on her. I'm glad you were able to finish in time and enjoy seeing her baptized in it. My own little guy will be baptized in 2 weeks. Congratulations to your family- so nice that you could all be together on this happy day!
Such a spectacular heirloom! Your daughter looks wonderful. To think of what she and all endured after delivery is hard to believe. She looks gorgeous. And then there is baby - absolutely perfect little angel.
I think is is so special that your husband was able to perform the ceremony. To me, these milestones and their celebrations are what family is about. Congratulations on everyone's good health, beauty, and blessedness.
Martha, thank you for those additional details in words and photos. It is an incredible gown, for a special baby and family. I love how much her momma's desires influenced your creation.
Now there are several of us who worried all week long about the state of the dress. I hope we worried so that you were content to just sew. I feel a part of the dress knowing that my pleater was used to pleat it. Makes it even more special to me. You did a fabulous job ... kudos to the design team. What a truly blessed event.
Both gown and baby are beautiful. God is so good.
Thank you so much for sharing! Everyday I would peek into your blog to see if you had posted any updates on the gown, and today's photos were plentiful and beautiful. So many wonderful moments, may your family be blessed with them all!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing Evamarie's special day with us. I have tears in my eyes just reading about it and seeing your wonderful photos. Hope you are getting some much needed recovery time!
GORGEOUS!!! All of your work is beautiful! You must be one proud Mimi!!! You are such an inspiration to a beginner like me. Your little granddaughter is stunning in her gown.
I've been really looking forward to this post to see the finished gown. It is absolutely beautiful, but more so when on the angelic little doll baby. What a lovely treasured heirloom, and to have Grandpa baptize her! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Oh, that little plump arm with the gold bracelet! Her gown is beautiful--what a treasure!
Utterly, positively exquisitely one of the most beautiful & meaningful Christening gowns I have ever seen!!!
The dress is stunning! And of course, the baby is precious!
The embroidery on the front is exquisite! The whole dress is gorgeous!!
Beautiful! You are inspiring this new grandmother! M first Grandbaby, Emma Jane, is due next month. Your blog is a favorite go to place for inspiration.
I love the lily of the valley lace- I used it on the flower girl dresses for new mommies wedding.

Incumbent Pam Hemminger celebrates her victory on Tuesday. Hemminger was re-elected for mayor. This will be her 4th term.
By Guillermo Molero
Lying in the shadow of presidential and midterm races, odd-numbered years aren't usually remembered for their elections. This year's municipal elections, though, may prove quite consequential for Carrboro and Chapel Hill.
There were five offices on the ballot in Chapel Hill and Carrboro — the mayor of Chapel Hill, the mayor of Carrboro, the Chapel Hill Town Council, the Carrboro Town Council and seats on Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education.
Perhaps the most prominent of all of these races was that for the mayoral seat in Chapel Hill, a campaign that saw incumbent Pam Hemminger win her fourth term in office after defeating Chapel Hill Town Council member Hongbin Gu and UNC graduate student Zachary Boyce.
Hemminger's platform featured proposals for affordable housing, climate action and economic recovery.
"I'm just very grateful for an amazing team, a supportive family, dedicated supporters and the voters of Chapel Hill," Hemminger said at her election results watch party on Nov. 2. "And we will keep moving forward together."
Hemminger earned about 60.7 percent of the vote compared to Gu's 36.6 percent and Boyce's 2.5 percent.
In Carrboro, current Town Council member Damon Seils won the mayoral seat in decisive fashion, earning 90.3 percent of the vote compared to the nine percent earned by his challenger, local business owner Michael Benson.
Seils chose to run after current mayor Lydia Lavelle announced on May 26 that she would be leaving office at the end of her term.
One of Seils' top priorities in his 2021 campaign was a focus on economic recovery, helping small businesses cope with losses incurred over the past year and helping to support individuals throughout the community.
"We've been working really hard over the last 18 months in Carrboro to support folks through direct financial assistance for housing and rental payments and trying to avert an addiction crisis," Seils said. "We've just announced a big grant program for local businesses in Carrboro, so I think focusing on those kinds of recovery efforts will be a top priority."
The Chapel Hill Town Council race saw three newcomers — Camille Berry, Paris Miller-Foushee and Adam Searing — secure seats, alongside incumbent council member Karen Stegman. Two of them, Berry and Miller-Foushee, are women of color.
Some candidates, such as Searing, focused on environmental initiatives and recreation in their platforms. Others, including Berry and Miller-Foushee, placed a special emphasis on affordable housing.
"It's going to be an honor to serve this community, and I'm really looking forward to helping to advance a more equitable, environmentally just, safe and affordable Chapel Hill that's in the reach of everyone," Miller-Foushee said.
Barbara Foushee, Danny Nowell and Randee Haven-O'Donnell won the three seats up for grabs on Carrboro's Town Council.
Foushee and Haven-O'Donnell are incumbents to the council, while Nowell is a newcomer who was endorsed by the NC Triangle Democratic Socialists of America.
Carrboro Town Council incumbent Jacquelyn Gist, who was first elected in 1989, notably did not win reelection. She lost her seat by 242 votes.
The race for the three seats open on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education was far less of a contest.
George Griffin, Riza Jenkins and Mike Sharp were all easily elected as newcomers to the board. They said they would address the opportunity gap that students in the school district face and will aim to implement more equitable policies upon taking their place on the board.
Though there may not have been big-ticket offices on the ballot, the 2021 election cycle will surely shape the local landscape in Chapel Hill and Carrboro for years to come.

William Lucyshyn, Director of Research and Research Professor at the Center for Public Policy and Private Enterprise, in the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy, will speak at the U.S. – China Competition in Defense Technological and Industrial Development, on February 22, 2017 in Washington, D.C. The workshop is organized by the Study of Innovation and Technology in China Project, the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation, and the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
Lucyshyn will participate in a panel on "Comparing Current State and Future Trends of the U.S. and Chinese Defense Industrial, Research, and Development Systems", highlighting the insights and findings from a former conference held at UC San Diego in July 2016 that examined the drivers, dynamics, trends, and implications of the long-term strategic competition between the U.S. and China in defense technological and industrial development. This workshop will present the growing indicators that show direct and intensifying U.S. – China competition.
As a part of the panel, William Lucyshyn will present a paper titled "Trends Threatening U.S. Defense Industrial and R&D Capability". The talk will summarize the current National Security environment and the performance of the DoD's weapon acquisition system. Then he will highlight several trends that will continue to present challenges to the development of the required defense capabilities. These include the U.S.'s defense industry consolidation, defense budgets, research investments, and the regulatory burden. The talk concludes with recommendations for steps to moderate the effects of these challenges.

Q: Outlook 2013 wont display bullet points correctly I have edited this awesome template to be used for an email marketing campaign. It looks fresh and clean, and seems to be able to serve us well. In Gmail it looks good, it has slight oddities that I cant fix because I think it deals with how gmail reads the code. But its super usable.
But if someone uses outlook to read our email, the message is all messed up. the bullet points are all messed up and not formatted. Here is some code:

Q: unable to receive success message from php to Ajax, jQuery I am working with jQuery/Ajax where I need php to send me success, error message upon the status of form receiving. I have done a bit of googling but I am still unable to receive any message. I am using json_encode.
JS code:
$(function()

 {
 $("#logInBtn").click(function(e)
 {
    var array = [];

    var userName = $("#logIn").val();
    var passWrd = $("#password").val();
    var flag = false;

    alert("Log In alert");

    if(userName == '' || passWrd == '')
    {
        alert("Username or password cannot be empty");
        flag = false;
    }
    else
    {
        array.push(userName);
        array.push(passWrd);

        alert(array);
        flag = true;
    }

    if(flag == true)
    {
        alert("going for ajax");
        $.ajax({
            url:"http://localhost/login.php",
            data:
            {
                userName: array[0],
                passWrd: array[1],
            },
            type:"POST",
            dataType:"json",
            success:function(suc){
                alert("suc");
         alert(suc);
                console.log(suc);
            },
            error: function(err)
            {
            alert("err");
            alert(err);
            console.log(err);
        }
        });
    }
    else
    {
        alert("form error");
    }
        alert("final check here");
});
    }
    else
    {
        alert("form error");
    }
        alert("final check here");
});
}
);

php code:
<?php

header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Expires: Mon, 01 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT');

// The JSON standard MIME header.
header('Content-type: application/json');
     $con=mysql_connect("localhost","root", "");
     mysql_select_db("monkey",$con);

$name = $_POST['userName'];
$pass = $_POST['passWrd'];

$query="INSERT INTO logInCheker(login,password) VALUES('$name','$pass');";

   if(mysql_query($query))
   {
       $response_array['status'] = 'success';
       echo json_encode($response_array);
   }
else
{
   $response_array['status'] = 'error';
   echo json_encode($response_array);

}

?>

[PS: Both JS and php code is dummy, especially the php code. I am not using this in the server side. ]
Thanks in advance.
Update:
The DB is updating informing. Each time, I hit login button, DB gets one row of data but my jQuery is saying it has hit in the error function. Here is the object i have received.

A: Looks like an issue with your ajax request, try something like this:
$.ajax({
    ...
    ...
    ...
    success: function (response) {
        console.log(response);
    },
    error: function (response) {
        console.log(response);
    }
});

Also, you should be using Prepared Statements in PDO for all DB interactions.

A: The following header solved the problem
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");

Apology as there were little confusion in the question as well as my bad english..

A: check the console.
Your php script is not a json for this reason:
echo $name;
echo "Donkey";

try remove this echos.

Tenant Engagement Platform in Parliamentary Review for Technology 2017
Digital Spotlight Managing Director Bill Muir has been chosen to represent the UK's technology sector in the 2017 Parliamentary Review in recognition of his work at the forefront of Mobile and Cloud technology. Bill will be attending annual gala to mark the launch at the Palace of Westminster on 21st September hosted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The review focuses on one of Digital Spotlights business partnership projects Contribufy, which features alongside the Prime Minister and a small number of outstanding organisations in a document that looks back on the year in industry and Westminster. The main aim of the Review is to showcase best practice as a learning tool to the public and private sector.
Across all policy areas, The Parliamentary Review is sent to over half a million leading policymakers. The articles in the Review act as both a blueprint for success and a template for reform.
The Prime Minister commented that 'this year's Parliamentary Review follows a significant year in British politics' and this is reflected in the articles from leading journalists and best-practice representatives alike.
The PM's former cabinet colleague, Sir Eric Pickles, who was recently appointed Chairman of the Review, said 'it has never been more important for government to hear the views of business and the public sector in a constructive forum. It is
also a vital time to share best practice and progress.'
The Parliamentary Review's director Daniel Yossman concurred, saying 'Contribufy and other
hardworking organisations from across the country have come together to make this year's Review possible. Sharing knowledge and insight with both peers and government is essential work and I am delighted that this year's Review will reach every corner of the British economy.
It's always a real joy to hear from policymakers who tell me that something they have read in the Review has had an effect on their thinking. It is my belief that innovation is contagious, if only it is given the platform
to spread. It is the Review's purpose to provide this platform and I am confident we are fulfilling it.'
Bill said "I am delighted to have been invited to be part of this year's Parliamentary Review, it reflects the hard work and expertise of our team. I have been working with Kevin Reynolds since 1990 and we have seen many changes in technology, so to be recognised for the leading role we are still playing 27 years later is something we are all tremendously proud of".

A little while back I decided to leave Twitter, I had an active (ish) Twitter account for about 8 years but it had been much neglected over the past few years as I had explored new angles and lost many an hour to understanding Instagram!
Just as I was about to close it down though I noticed some posts about a lady I network with and how she supports people with Twitter so I thought I would give it one last shot!
I enlisted the support of Claire at Saxton Marketing https://saxtonmarketing.co.uk/and within two weeks of her helping me something amazing happened!
I was ignoring social media as I try to do of an evening when Claire messaged me, I could tell she was all excited but hadn't a clue what about, she told me to head over to Twitter.
Now, my Twitter account ticked along with a couple of notifications a day usually but when I went in to see what Claire was on about, I noticed 98 notifications and rising by the second!
I had only gone and won one of the Theo Paphitis #SBS (Small Business Sunday) awards!
As I am sure you will know Theo is quite famous for doing remarkably well in retail and for being on Dragons' Den and in his aim to support small businesses set up these awards and a truly amazing business community which I am now very pleased to be allowed to be a part of!
It isn't just about increasing my Twitter following there is a whole background of support and events to attend making you feel a part of a very special community which Theo himself is very actively involved in.
I am very much looking forward to the event where I get to meet with Theo but in the meantime amazing things have already started to happen off the back of my #SBS win but more of that in the next blog!!
If you have a small business and a twitter account, I recommend you take a look and if you haven't a clue what to do with Twitter, I highly recommend you have a chat with Claire at Saxton Marketing!
Next blog – how winning #SBS led me to be a judge at prestigious health food awards – The Nourish Awards.

Welcome to Wine and Cheese Society!
The Wine and Cheese Society is a relatively young society, only forming last year. Over time we have grown to have a number of members who can share in our joint interest of Wine and Cheese.
The Society meets regularly (normally every two weeks) where we have a selection of Wine and Cheese available. We meet up on Frenchay Campus, but we also try and go to local wine bars throughout the city.
This year we are planning a trip to a Vineyard for our members, so we can see how wine is made and have a lovely time away. More details will be given out about this closer to the time.
